The latest entry in the new segment of “not fast food – good food fast” are the burgers, chicken, and salads at Fresh Grill, in the out lot by Best Buy and Burlington Coat Factory, across 217 from Washington Square Mall.

Portland, OR – Lotus Card Room & Cafe
Cooling my heels waiting for Mrs. BDB to finish a courtroom date in downtown Portland, wandered around a little before perching myself at an outdoor table at the Lotus Card Room & Cafe. According to their website, they have been around since prohibition, when they opened as a “soda bar.” (Why don’t we have soda… Continue reading Portland, OR – Lotus Card Room & Cafe
Portland, OR – Veritable Quandary
The name literally is a contradiction, “Veritable” means ‘something of certainty”, and “Quandary” means ‘difficult to predict, or uncertainty,’ and the restaurant of the same name near Portland’s waterfront, is anything but. VQ, as locals refer to it, was created in 1971 and for decades has consistently hammered out some of the most innovative takes… Continue reading Portland, OR – Veritable Quandary
Beaverton, OR – Five Guys Review
It’s funny that the second time I’d end up at Five Guys that it would be the same location that I first visited, three or four years ago. It’s when Five Guys was still rather novel, and especially to Portland, as it was the first location – in the SW burb of Beaverton. I… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Five Guys Review
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
Hillsboro, OR – Rachel’s Classic Burgers
According to their Facebook page, this restaurant has now closed. Too bad, really nice people, great heart, great food. They deserved to succeed.
Nationwide – Wendy’s Son of Baconator
It’s big (yet smaller), full of bacony and beefy goodness. It’s Wendy’s “Son of Baconator”, a smaller version (on everything except flavor!) of the popular ‘big’ baconator launched last year. 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
Nationwide – Carl’s Jr. – The Six Dollar Something Burger
I remember when Carl’s first came out with this, the pitch was basically a “burger that tastes like it costs six dollars, but at a lower price,” or some such. Apparently that six dollar burger will cost you close to six dollars now, and in a small combo? Seven bux plus. I rolled into our… Continue reading Nationwide – Carl’s Jr. – The Six Dollar Something Burger
Nationwide – Applebee’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill
Well, I’ve officially flipped over – to dirty old man status, where leering at the waitress and hanging on her every word becomes one of the more important elements of my dining out. At least I haven’t gotten to the point where I’m the kind of guy making the disgusting suggestive comments. Point? My… Continue reading Nationwide – Applebee’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill
Portland, OR – Guild’s Lake Inn
Guild’s Lake Inn is a diner/cafe located in the heart of NW industrial Portland. Near to the establishment I am currently spending my days at, it’s a favorite of colleagues for both a quick lunch or take out. Guild’s prides themselves on locally-sourced artisan breads from Marsee and Grand Central, produce, as well as burger… Continue reading Portland, OR – Guild’s Lake Inn
