I must have walked by this joint a hundred times and never noticed it. Went there today because I am working my way thru other people’s burger reviews on Yelp and Urban Spoon, see if I agree or disagree. One review calls this “a fake British pub.” I don’t know about that, it is what… Continue reading Portland, OR – Thirsty Lion Pub & Grill

The Meat Show Checks Out PDX Burgers
Great fun today on the Meat Show (www.pdx.fm), where we tested some local Portland favorite burgers! I was nervous about my appearance, being on the radio for the first time, but many people in my life have said I have a face for radio. I calmed down quickly, was put at ease by the skillful… Continue reading The Meat Show Checks Out PDX Burgers
Portland, OR – Nancy’s Kitchen
At dinner the other night at 23Hoyt, my companion was talking up the burgers at Nancy’s Kitchen, so he invited me to try one today.

Located in an upscale strip mall… Continue reading Portland, OR – Nancy’s Kitchen
Portland, OR – 23 Hoyt #Fail
Geez, and I was so prepared to have my 2nd visit to this place produce a warm glow for me. Didn’t. They filed tonight in a couple areas, squeaked by on another.

Portland, OR – Red Robin
First time in a Red Robin in over 20 years. Previous visits – we were regulars at the outlet in Calabasas, CA, when my kid was about 4. She liked the place then, would eschew it now as she’s a veggie. Tho the menu has some offerings even she would embrace. Bottomless fries? In any… Continue reading Portland, OR – Red Robin
Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)
Couldn’t wait to try this one, after reading other descriptions of it online. Stella’s is a new cart at the 3rd & Stark pod, actually right on Stark, and they offer elaborate burger and pulled meat sandwiches. And one sausage. The payphone parked right in front of the cart might come in handy if you’re… Continue reading Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)
