As we used to say in the news business, it’s time to rewrite the lead. Or maybe I buried the lead in this story. In any case, after a long talk this afternoon with Mrs. Burgerdogboy, she pointed out some things to me I should have written about. And of course, she’s right. She’s always… Continue reading Hillsboro, OR – Rachel’s Classic Burgers

Portland, OR – C Burger Reprise
Went back to C Burger today, on Couch, between 3rd and 4th. If you haven’t been, it’s a door front take out burger in the back of the Couture Club. Strictly al fresco, without seating. I have had a great burger there before, today, I had a good burger. I ordered the Couture, at $8,… Continue reading Portland, OR – C Burger Reprise
Portland, OR – Davis Street Tavern
Mr. Hot Shot Portland business lawyer Will Du Val and I ventured down 5th Street looking for mild repast, and passed by Hamburger Mary’s and Theo’s in favor of Davis Street – a joint neither of us had experienced, but both of us had heard good things. From whence, we do not recall. Neither of… Continue reading Portland, OR – Davis Street Tavern
Joe’s Burgers – Bridgeport Mall, Tigard, OR
A menu and a link, thanks to burger fan Jane who sent it along. Oregonian story on Joe’s and the fabulous owners, also operators of several fine restaurants in Portland.
Portland, OR – Little Bird, Son of Le Pigeon
Arguably, in many people’s opinions, Portland’s Le Pigeon is one of the finest restaurants around. When the chef decided to open outlet # 2, ‘son of Le Pigeon” he called on his culinary skill to make a downsized, casual version, “Little Bird Bistro,” across from the US Bank Tower in… Continue reading Portland, OR – Little Bird, Son of Le Pigeon
Today’s Rant – The Term “Slider”
As much as I carp about being served “Kobe” burgers which aren’t Kobe at all, today I am starting to get a little miffed about the liberal use of the word “sliders” on menus, and particularly, bar happy hour menus. A quick Yelp of Portland restaurants ‘sliders’, for example, finds offerings of beef, lamb, pork,… Continue reading Today’s Rant – The Term “Slider”
Portland, OR – Serratto
Been here before, at the end of an overindulgent day, but just noshed on snacks outside, hadn’t been in. Was wasting time before an appointment today, thought I would have lunch, didn’t really have a burger in mind, and after looking at the menu, asked for the Painted Hills beef French Dip. Oops – said… Continue reading Portland, OR – Serratto
Portland, OR – The Crab Bowl
Finding a good burger is always a treat; finding one in the most unlikely of locations is a double delight! Saturday Mrs. BurgerDogBoy and I were out on some of the last minute holiday rounds; stop at a thrift store for ugly sweaters for the Yelp party (SCORE!), Target, and then scooting… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Crab Bowl
Portland, OR – Stepping Stone Cafe
“……eyeeeeeeeeeee’m not your stepping stone….” (remember this Monkees hit? no? punk kid). Anyway, I’m not your stepping stone, but neither is the Stepping Stone my choice for a burger. The place gained a bit of notoriety last year, when that slob of a television host, Adam Richman, showed up to down some “mancakes.” … Continue reading Portland, OR – Stepping Stone Cafe
Portland, OR – Return to the Original Dinerant
Returned to The Original in downtown Portland, was last there about sixteen months ago. Been a few changes on the menu, some of the more innovative dishes appear to have vanished; I guess that’s not so hard to understand, a lot of online reviews kind of panned those efforts, but I don’t know why.… Continue reading Portland, OR – Return to the Original Dinerant
