We were rescuing a new “hot” dog from a shelter in Salem, to add to our family, so Mrs. Burgerdogboy suggested I “rescue” a burger on the way home to add to my waistline. Point taken, mission accomplished. I’d been to Rock N Rogers once before, and for this old guy, RNR fits the bill… Continue reading Salem, OR – Rock N Rogers 50’s Style Diner

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
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 – 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
North Plains, OR – Rogue Brew Pub and Eatery
In the midst of elephant garlic territory (you missed the festival last week, btw), in the center of town….ok, in the center of the one block of town, sits the Rogue Brew Pub and Eatery, which i don’t believe is any relation to the Rogue Ales brewer type guys. Tho they do serve those quaffs.… Continue reading North Plains, OR – Rogue Brew Pub and Eatery
Portland, OR – Tasty n Sons
Portland is big on brunch, and Tasty n Sons aims to satisfy those urges, offering a “brunch only” menu all the time (open 9-3), which is both interesting AND tasty! Brought to us by the fine folks who gave us Toro Bravo, Tasty’s menu is so fascinating to me, I think I could eat there… Continue reading Portland, OR – Tasty n Sons
Portland, OR – Lunch at the MAC
When my colleagues said “Let’s meet for lunch at the MAC,” I was excited. I didn’t know what the MAC was, but I thought it might stand for “Mighty Academy of Cuisine.” Or perhaps I didn’t hear them right, and they said “Let’s meet for lunch on the MAX,” which is the local light rail… Continue reading Portland, OR – Lunch at the MAC
Portland, OR – Stanich’s
You know I am loathe to go into any place that is “the best in the city,” or as Stanich’s would claim, the “Greatest Hamburger in the World.” While I am all about places 50 years old, most times, my personal experience is that the rep they made their bones on, a couple decades ago,… Continue reading Portland, OR – Stanich’s
Portland, OR – Foster Burger
Oh, you know how hesitant I am to go into someplace called “the best” anything. Foster Burger has been open a few months, lots of local raves, and today was named one of the ten best new burgers in the US by Bon Appetit Magazine. Wow. I thought I had better get there fast, before… Continue reading Portland, OR – Foster Burger
Hood River, OR – Charburger Country
A sunny day, driving East through Oregon’s gorge, majestic waterfalls on my left, the Columbia River on my right…..and billboards everywhere touting the wisdom and benefit of taking a lunch at Charburger Country in Hood River. Who am I to argue? I pull off the ramp and into the parking lot, where the sign says… Continue reading Hood River, OR – Charburger Country
