Minnesota burger reporter Kawikamedia checked out the porky burger which was 2 patties cheese bacon lettuce two tomatoes and secret sauce (barbecue).  KM was a bit dishearted by the expience, telling me &#8220;I should have saved the caloric intake for something else!)  because the window attendant was doing double duty as the cook, and as a result, KM&#8217;s burger was overcooked, and very dry.   Also a shortage of choices if you have a vegetarian in tow.  They are &#8220;internationally famous since 1987&#8221; (just ask them) so it might be worth a second look (bite).<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re informed by readers that the Google map may appear a bit &#8220;off&#8221; (that happens?) and that Porky&#8217;s is located just south of the bridge, not north as the map portrays.   But if you are driving out from Duluth, you&#8217;ll hit the south end first, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=Porky's,+Duluth,+MN&amp;sll=45.444173,-122.725947&amp;sspn=0.008626,0.017681&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=47.178512,-92.072296&amp;spn=0.53584,1.131592&amp;z=10&amp;iwloc=A&amp;cid=16929954472786909412&amp;output=embed\"><\/iframe><br \/><small><a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=Porky's,+Duluth,+MN&amp;sll=45.444173,-122.725947&amp;sspn=0.008626,0.017681&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=47.178512,-92.072296&amp;spn=0.53584,1.131592&amp;z=10&amp;iwloc=A&amp;cid=16929954472786909412\" style=\"color:#0000FF;text-align:left\">View Larger Map<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/porkys-exteriorPNG.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-884\" title=\"porkys exteriorPNG\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/porkys-exteriorPNG.png\" alt=\"porkys exteriorPNG\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/porky-burger1-PNG.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-885\" title=\"porky burger1 PNG\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/porky-burger1-PNG.png\" alt=\"porky burger1 PNG\" width=\"512\" height=\"340\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a stone&#8217;s throw from Duluth, Porky&#8217;s is checked out by burger reporter Kawikamedia.
