I’d always meant to get to Caro Amico with Mrs. Burgerdogboy for a romantic dinner; we thought it might be great because we had enjoyed their food via Delivered Dish (www.d-dish.com) and its position, on a hillside overlooking the river, might have made for some dreamy views. We never got there as a couple, but… Continue reading Portland, OR – Caro Amico Reprise

Portland, OR – Pizza at Uncle John’s Market
Mrs. Burgerdogboy came back from an outing with her pals at ScarletGirl.com, with a most unusual rave – no, not the latest in intimate playthings for couples, but rather a tip on a pizza her husband must try! So Sunday nite she urged us out the door as the punctuation for a week we have… Continue reading Portland, OR – Pizza at Uncle John’s Market
Portland Area Update – Pietro’s Pizza
Few things you can count on consistently in Portland. One is, it’s likely to be dreary. Second? If the weatherman says its going to be nice, there’s a pretty good chance it’s going to be dreary. Third? Pietro’s Pizza coming back from the dead. I’d previously stopped in their Milwaukie outpost, and wrote it… Continue reading Portland Area Update – Pietro’s Pizza
Nationwide – Domino’s Meatzza
OK, so I am “late to the party” in trying Domino’s “new recipe.” Reason being, there are no outlets near my house. There used to be one within spitting distance, but at least a couple of different operators couldn’t make a go off it, despite being within blocks of a large college. So it was… Continue reading Nationwide – Domino’s Meatzza
Vancouver, WA – Cinetopia 23 (Food review)
Movie theater food? Blech, usually, and I have opined on that topic many times. But at the ultra new, spiffy, Cinetopia (now with 3 area locations) in Vancouver, WA, food rules, and you can order and have it delivered to your chair in a few of the multiplex screens. As well as cocktails! Mrs. Burgerdogboy… Continue reading Vancouver, WA – Cinetopia 23 (Food review)
Portland, OR – Oven and Shaker Review
The name refers to the two elements that the restaurant hopes to capitalize on – oven, for wood fired “Neapolitan style” pizzas, and shaker, for interesting cocktails. This partnership between a local 4 time nominated James Beard candidate and a local renowned drinksmith held great promise when announced, but in my opinion, succeeds at the… Continue reading Portland, OR – Oven and Shaker Review
Portland, OR – DeNicola’s Italian Restaurant
It used to be my criteria for choosing a restaurant was to look for five words on the door: “Most Major Credit Cards Accepted.” These days, I am more apt to seek out restaurants that have been around for multiple decades, and DeNicola’s has been serving Portlandians for over 30 years. They must… Continue reading Portland, OR – DeNicola’s Italian Restaurant
Milwaukee, OR – Pietro’s Pizza
I’m all about old-timey and garish. The outside of Pietro’s fits the latter, the inside the former. Almost as old as I am, Pietro’s has been serving pizza to Oregonians for over 60 years, and is constantly at the top of most local favorite lists. Having noticed its list ranking, not having tried it, and… Continue reading Milwaukee, OR – Pietro’s Pizza
Portland, OR – John’s Incredible Pizza
(Spoiler alert) John’s Incredible Pizza…. isn’t. A massive buffet and games palace awaits brave parents who wish to spare the rod and spoil their children silly, as kids will love, love, love this. Like a massive “Chuck E. Cheese”, but with a couple of rides thrown into the arcade mix (A “Tilt a Whirl” type… Continue reading Portland, OR – John’s Incredible Pizza
Tigard, OR – Tigard Pizza Kitchen
Was home sick, decided to treat myself for lunch. “Feed a cold, feed a fever, feed a hangnail,” my ma used to say. So I mulled over my delivery options and opted for Tigard Pizza Kitchen. I have about five delivery options at the noon hour for my sector, so why Tigard? One of the… Continue reading Tigard, OR – Tigard Pizza Kitchen
