(from our archives) My daughter and (then) her boyfriend were in town last week, she wanted “classic cuisine,” and although there aren’t many places I favor more than Gallatoires, for some reason (DOH!) I decided to take them to Antoine’s. The good news is, having two underage guests at dinner greatly cuts down on the… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – Antoine’s Review
Beaverton, OR – Pepita’s Mexican (Review)
Pepita’s is one of our little go to places for pretty good Mexican. Mrs. Burgerdogboy like their fairly authentic (as least as far as Los Angeles type Mexican) shrimp cocktail. My choices vary, and this time I went with two soft beef tacos, which comes with sides of beans and rice. The place is clean,… Continue reading Beaverton, OR – Pepita’s Mexican (Review)
Lafayette, LA – Prejean’s (Review)
(From out travel archives) Prejeans…………..Before Levi’s? I’d seen the restaurant Prejeans many times when driving up I-49 between Lafayette and Shreveport. I had never had an occasion to stop, although I had heard fairly good things about it. Local publicity calls it “award winning” and the “best Cajun cuisine in the South.” Those are pretty… Continue reading Lafayette, LA – Prejean’s (Review)
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)
Superior, WI – Amnicon Bar (Review)
Kawikamedia and the Minnesota Burger Posse have embarked on a mission of checking out “dive” bars in the area. This week, it was the Amnicon Bar s on the Corner of Tri Lake Road and County A out by Pattison Park. About 10 miles South of Superior, Wisconsin, on Amnicon Lake. There are a… Continue reading Superior, WI – Amnicon Bar (Review)
Kenner, LA – Jukebox Cajun Diner (Review)
(From the archives) Ever since the demise of the Humming Bird diner, I continually search for a 24/7 diner in N’awlins I can call “home,” at 3AM. There really doesn’t seem to be an apt replacement, so I tend to “spread the wealth” around, and visit several different places, depending on 1) my location at… Continue reading Kenner, LA – Jukebox Cajun Diner (Review)
Portland, OR – Three Square Grill (Review)
In our hood, Three Square Grill has been dishing up their take on American favorites, sourcing locally whenever possible, for over ten years. While we’ve always intended to go there, we had never made it, until last nite, and we’ve been missing out. Mrs. Burgerdogboy had called from her daily errands and suggested a date… Continue reading Portland, OR – Three Square Grill (Review)
Visit Duluth, Everything’s Fine! @Visitduluth
Burgerdogboy’s hometown had a few weather difficulties last week, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit! It’s beautiful, it’s the “air conditioned city,” lots of great restaurants like the Pickwick and Grandma’s. Great beaches, rivers, and lakes to recreate on. Get on up to Duluth!
Duluth, MN – A & Dubs (Review)
If you’re as old as dirt, as I am, you’ll remember Duluth prior to the major fast food franchises coming in. We had a select number of local burger houses, most noticeably, The London Inn, at 17th Avenue East and London Road, a beloved high school hangout and purveyor of most excellent onion rings, and… Continue reading Duluth, MN – A & Dubs (Review)
New Orleans, LA (Bucktown) R&O Seafood (Review)
(From the travel archives of Burgerdogboy) Heading out to Bucktown for seafood is a local tradition in the Crescent City; Bucktown is roughly at the end of Canal Street, on Lake Pontchartrain, it used to be the hub of the fishing fleet, and a town where a young “buck” could sew his wild oats, get… Continue reading New Orleans, LA (Bucktown) R&O Seafood (Review)
