(THIS BUSINESS IS NOW CLOSED). I love story tellers. I like to tell stories, too. I’m not so good at it. but I know someone who is. At the opposite end of the spectrum of my likes and dislikes are words used in cuisine reviews these days – like “fusion”, or “mash-up”. and this… Continue reading Portland, OR – Domo Dogs, Worth the Price of Admission

Portland, OR – The Sausage Shack Review
Was feeling a might peckish after getting dropped in downtown post high-roller biz meeting at low rent coffee shop in NE. Was determined to head straight to Alder pod, but got dropped on Naito, and threw on the foot brakes when I walked past the Sausage Shack. I’d heard about this sausage and bacon wonderland,… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Sausage Shack Review
Portland, OR – Give Pizza A Chance
Mrs. BurgerDogBoy has been suggesting I get to “Give Pizza A Chance” since she read about it in Portland Monthly. Funny, I hadn’t tried it, I hit that food pod quite a bit. In the pic of the stand, you can see “Swamp Shack” next to it, some great Creole food, and next to that, “Tabor“,… Continue reading Portland, OR – Give Pizza A Chance
Movin’ on Up – Portland’s Domo Dogs
Like most of us, Domo Dogs in Portland, purveyors of the wonderfully exciting Japanese-fusion-hotdogs, had a year full of challenges. But as the Chinese say, crisis and opportunity are borne from the same space, so the fine folks at Domo are making an effort to upgrade their business in 2011, and are purchasing a mobile kitchen… Continue reading Movin’ on Up – Portland’s Domo Dogs
Portland, OR – Speedy Dawg (food cart)
Speedy Dawg (“Dogs with Attitude”) is a new addition to the pod at 10th and Alder. Not sure who they replaced, seems to have been some wholesale changes at this pod lately. Speedy’s philosophy of “Dawgs with Attitude” comes from the fact that you create your own ‘attitude’ with their various topping choices, which run… Continue reading Portland, OR – Speedy Dawg (food cart)
Portland, OR – Food Cart Grazing at “Last Thursday”
Despite what locals think, Portland isn’t really an innovation town; what it is good at tho, is taking one small concept and replicating it a hundred times with different names, and exploiting that situation. Kind of like Taco Bell. Portland takes the same old ingredients, mixes them up, relabels their effort, and sells it as… Continue reading Portland, OR – Food Cart Grazing at “Last Thursday”
Portland, OR – PBJs Food Cart, 23rd NW & Kearney
Rarely do I get verklempt at a food cart (yes, I know there are other ways to spell that word), but I did today at PBJs. My mother showed her love for me and my siblings with food; when we were in elementary school, we were all able to walk home for lunch, and… Continue reading Portland, OR – PBJs Food Cart, 23rd NW & Kearney
Portland, OR – Deschutes Brew Fest / Food Cart Bonanza
Once a year, the little brewer from Bend who could, closes off the street in front of their Pearl area brewpub, and serves up samples of their beers, along side samples of a dozen or so Portland food carts. I have a little bit of an opinion about microbrews….. being a spoiled American occasional beer… Continue reading Portland, OR – Deschutes Brew Fest / Food Cart Bonanza

The Joy of Living in Food Nirvana
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical of moving to Portland….worried I was going to go hungry after living in (arguably) the food capital of North America – New Orleans, for five years. But a bitch named Katrina persuaded me it was time to go, and after searching high and low, Mrs. BDB… Continue reading The Joy of Living in Food Nirvana
