Before Mrs Burgerdogboy passed, we lived in Portland, Oregon, for a number of years, which celebrates the complete and utter silliness of Sunday brunch on so many levels; in short, you’ll wait in line a really long time to overpay for pretty normal fare. The television show “Portlandia” did a pretty funny bit on it,… Continue reading Sunday Brunch Recipe

Portland, OR – Overlook Family Restaurant Review
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 – Three Square Grill (Review)
In our hood, Three Square Grill has been dishing up their take on American favorites, sourcing locally whenever possible, for over ten years. While we’ve always intended to go there, we had never made it, until last nite, and we’ve been missing out. Mrs. Burgerdogboy had called from her daily errands and suggested a date… Continue reading Portland, OR – Three Square Grill (Review)
Portland, OR – Le Bistro Montage
Portland weekend brunch….if you’ve seen the skit on Portlandia, it’s pretty dead on. Long lines, high prices, “interesting” cuisine. A lot of online reviews talk about how great Montage is, and to be prepared to wait. We went for Saturday brunch with another couple yesterday, the wait was non-existent, there were about 8 tables… Continue reading Portland, OR – Le Bistro Montage
Portland, OR – Salty’s Seafood Grill
Was invited by Portland’s garden consultant extraordinaire, Sara Pool, for brunch at Salty’s on the Columbia River. We’ve wanted to hit this brunch for a long while, as it features at least three of Mrs. Burgerdogboy’s favorites – crab legs, raw oysters, and bacon! And I’m all about any place you can eat pounds of… Continue reading Portland, OR – Salty’s Seafood Grill
Portland, OR – Sunshine Tavern
Had a great time at a private fete at Sunshine Tavern in Portland on Saturday afternoon. I’m sure I will return, it’s a menu made just for me! We were served a wide variety of dishes, and overall my favorite was Sunshine’s take on the national dish of Canada, poutine. Sunshine’s version adds Italian pork… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sunshine Tavern
Portland, OR – Golden Touch (Redux)
On occasion, Mrs. BDB gets a bug in her craw (WTF does that mean?) about breakfast out on the weekends. We usually make an elaborate production of breakfast at home on either Saturday or Sunday, an homage to my family tradition of same. Saturday breakfast was a meal my family almost always enjoyed together, and… Continue reading Portland, OR – Golden Touch (Redux)
Portland, OR – Sub Rosa
Mrs. Burgerdogboy has taken to grabbing up Groupon and Living Social deals she thinks would amuse me, and I’m grateful for her thoughtfulness, as well as the opportunity to try new places. Last nite, we hit “Sub Rosa“, a small neighborhood Italian joint over on SE Clinton. This worked out great, as she had another… Continue reading Portland, OR – Sub Rosa
Portland, OR – Original Pancake House
The other day, one of my reviews on Yelp was called “mean and sarcastic” by a reader. I am known to be a sarcastic person by nature, but I tend to soft soap a lot of these posts, and really look for the good in each place I visit, and talk about it, regardless of… Continue reading Portland, OR – Original Pancake House
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
