For as crazy as New Orleans can get, as long as I lived there, it was never a late night dining town. Having exhausted all your energy in the Quarter, and not in the mood for an overpriced slice of pizza, one was left with few choices for satisfying cuisine. I love diners, and my… Continue reading New Orleans – St. Charles Tavern Review

Couple of Duluth Disappointments
Kawika and the Minnesota posse hit a couple of places in Duluth recently, and were disappointed across the board. The local Marcus theater has five buck night, and apparently they try and make up for the reduced admission with a giant price on a hot dog combo – $8.75 for a dog and soda. The… Continue reading Couple of Duluth Disappointments
New Orleans – Liuzzas Review
Too often, visitors to the Big Easy miss out on many of the best places to dine in the Crescent City. I guess you could probably say this about most travel destinations; in the Crescent City, visitors tend to get “stuck” in the French Quarter or nearby Garden District and miss out on the neighborhood… Continue reading New Orleans – Liuzzas Review
Scott Petersen Bacon Review
Scott Petersen, part of the Specialty Foods Group of Owensboro, KY, is an old line meat manufacturer from Chicago marketed nationwide. The brand makes hot dogs, bologna, lunch meat, and bacon. I haven’t tried the hot dogs, a line that is solely of the skinless variety, and while they do have an all beef… Continue reading Scott Petersen Bacon Review
Italian Beef Sandwich – A Chicago Icon
If you’ve walked around Manhattan, you’ve surely seen a pizzeria with some variation of the word “Ray’s” on the sign. The first Ray’s Pizza opened in Greenwich Village in the 50s, the owner eventually opened a second location which he later sold. The new owner retained the name, and subsequent sales and openings have created… Continue reading Italian Beef Sandwich – A Chicago Icon
Dietz & Watson Roast Beef
I mostly prefer to make my own “lunch meats.” By that, I’m generally referring to cooking a beef roast, ham, or corned beef round and putting it through the slicer. When confronted with the selections at a service deli counter, I’m apt to opt for imported products, and of course I like the variety of… Continue reading Dietz & Watson Roast Beef
Gas Station Sandwiches – Jewel Grocery’s Turkey Club
If you’re a new reader, you need to know I use the term “gas station sandwiches” with all do respect. It’s my phrase to describe pre-made packaged sandwiches of all ilks, whether they come from a grocery, gas station, mini mart, or vending machine. I’ve talked about them before. My recent sampling was a… Continue reading Gas Station Sandwiches – Jewel Grocery’s Turkey Club
Sycamore, IL – The Country Store and Catering
Small towns delight me, and especially in the Deep South or Upper Midwest. You can drive around almost any corner, and find a gem of a surprise, whether it’s a small town festival, a jewel of a piece of architecture, a funky shop, or a surprise of a restaurant. Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I hit one… Continue reading Sycamore, IL – The Country Store and Catering
Wendy’s Premium North Pacific Cod Sandwich
I slammed McD’s on this site the other week for having nothing on their menu that tastes like the animal it came from. That’s not a problem at Wendy’s, and especially with their new Premium North Pacific Cod sandwich, which boasts a hand-cut filet, lightly breaded with panko, fried until crispy, served on a soft… Continue reading Wendy’s Premium North Pacific Cod Sandwich
Starbucks Turkey and Swiss Sandwich Review
“Sliced Natural Turkey Breast” (minimally processed says the labeling) with no artificial ingredients. From the label, it’s not clear if “no artificial ingredients” refers to the “minimally processed” turkey, or the entire sandwich, but when one counts the number of ingredients in this turkey, Swiss, lettuce on wheat sandwich, with ‘sides’ of light mayo and… Continue reading Starbucks Turkey and Swiss Sandwich Review
