Rolled into Smashburger, my first visit. The Smash started in 2007 in Denver, by fast food vet Tom Ryan, who did stints at Pizza Hut, Quiznos, and McDonalds. His wiki bio gives him credit for introducing the thin crust pizza at the ‘Hut, and for McGriddles and McFlurry at the golden arches. Named for the… Continue reading Nationwide – Smashburger

Joliet, IL – Steak ‘n Shake Steak Dog
First the “Steakburger”, now the “Steak Dog”. I’m a fan of Steak N Shake, have been for years, even though they never seem to be located in my part of the country, I stop when I am able.

7-Eleven “Fresh to Go” Cheeseburger Review
I’ve reviewed a lot of heat and eat burgers this year, and although I’ve had them from 7-Eleven before, my past bites were generally a “brand name”, like the Big A, from the Chef Pierre company in Cleveland, a big supplier to mini-marts, schools, food service, the military. This is the first one I’ve had… Continue reading 7-Eleven “Fresh to Go” Cheeseburger Review
St. Paul, MN – Smashburger Review
Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse stopped into a Smashburger in St. Paul. They were impressed with the quality and service.

Nationwide – Wendy’s (Update)
A colleague at work ran out to Wendy’s today to fetch a pail of ….burgers for the crew. They were doubles with cheese.

I’m not one for burger pickles on the “sweetish” side, and Wendy’s… Continue reading Nationwide – Wendy’s (Update)
Portland, OR – Renner’s Grill Experiments on Us
Mrs. BurgerDogBoy and I were invited by the affable owner of Renner’s, in Multnomah Village, to stop by and do a taste test on some new food he’s playing with. No, it wasn’t a “blind” taste test, but I can tell you honestly, one of those came later in the night. (Inside joke). Marshall was… Continue reading Portland, OR – Renner’s Grill Experiments on Us
Beaverton, OR – Canyon Grill
“Voted Best Burgers in Town!” the sign outside says. Doesn’t say by whom, or what town. I’ve driven by this place a million times, on Canyon Rd, or “Car Dealer Row”, or more appropriately these days, “Empty Car Dealer Buildings Row”, as quite a few are in the wind these days. I first spotted the… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Canyon Grill
