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

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 – 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 – Newport Seafood Grill

Something’s fishy here, and it’s not the food.  Restaurants Unlimited, a dominant operator in the Northwest, has closed a lot of their Portland outlets, and they should give up on this one as well. Lackadasical service, ho hum food, and spendy prices for what’s delivered on the plate. We wondered in last Saturday afternoon at… Continue reading Portland, OR – Newport Seafood Grill

Portland, OR – Theo’s (Chinatown)

One all-day, late night option in Portland’s Old Town/Chinatown is Theo’s, on NW Fifth Avenue. Offering a variety of burgers, sandwiches, sides, and so on, Theo’s is a great quick stop for a bite, or call ahead for take-out. I was wasting time in the neighborhood, and stopped in to get a burger to go.  I… Continue reading Portland, OR – Theo’s (Chinatown)

Portland, OR – Salvador Molly’s

Salvador Molly’s is a casual bar featuring “world cuisine”.   That is, menu items reflect a whole host of different countries and cultures.  I might not have ever noticed this place, at it not been featured on an episode of “Man vs. Food”, where the chief gluttoneer, Adam Richman, took on a challenge to eat… Continue reading Portland, OR – Salvador Molly’s

Portland, OR – Golden Touch Family Restaurant

Mrs. BDB wanted lunch, out, on a weekday, always delighted when that happens.  We wanted to stay close to home, but go to someplace “new.”   We drive by the Golden Touch most every day, but had never stopped in.  It’s an obvious throwback to old time diner days, the exterior looks like it may… Continue reading Portland, OR – Golden Touch Family Restaurant

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
