I like “greasy spoons”, and more especially, those American diner type restaurants that have some kind of connection to the Greek culture. Such is the case with the Overlook, which I would pop in every day if I lived in the neighborhood. Instead, it’s only my second time in four years. It’s your standard diner… Continue reading Portland, OR – Overlook Family Restaurant Review

Portland, OR – East Bank Saloon & Restaurant Review
Located in a hysterical (sic) building, constructed in 1896, the location has been home to numerous businesses over the years, prior to the current owners establishing the eatery in 1978. Mrs. Burgerdogboy had scored a Groupon for 2 burgers and 2 beers for $15, so after an afternoon of her biz errands, we landed in… Continue reading Portland, OR – East Bank Saloon & Restaurant Review
Nationwide – Wendy’s Son of Baconator

Two fresh beef patties, four strips of bacon, a buttered, toasted bun. Topped off with mayo, ketchup, and American cheese. 700 calories and 40 carbs,… Continue reading Nationwide – Wendy’s Son of Baconator

While there… Continue reading Portland, OR – Piroshki & A Pickle (Review)
Portland, OR – Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen (Review)
I was thinking about my infatuation with “old-timey” places as we were seated; is it because I’ve become old-timey myself? Or does eating in places like this evoke some nostalgic memory in me? I really can’t say. I just like places that are at least 40-50 years old, I guess it proves to me they… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen (Review)
Oregon – Linnton Lighthouse Inn Review
My second visit, a quiet place to discuss business or have a tryst discreetly (or have business about your tryst), and also home to one of the most massive burgers in the Portland area. The Lighthouse Burger features a ginormous patty (a full pound?) on an oversized roll, and is topped with bacon, ham, cheese,… Continue reading Oregon – Linnton Lighthouse Inn Review
