Chicago, IL – Uncle Sammy’s Sandwiches

Uncle Sammy's Chicago

There are what – 40,000 Subway sandwich places in the world.  The franchised brand name one, not including other chains, Quiznos, Jimmy Joe Bob’s or whatever that one is.   Yet “independents” keep springing up and competing. Like Uncle Sammy’s Sandwich Classics, in Chicago.  Uncle Sammy’s is in Lincoln Park, the first neighborhood I ever lived [...]

Gas Station Sandwiches – Jewel Grocery’s Turkey Club

Jewel Turkey Club Sandwich

If you’re a new reader, you need to know I use the term “gas station sandwiches” with all do respect.  It’s my phrase to describe pre-made packaged sandwiches of all ilks, whether they come from a grocery, gas station, mini mart, or vending machine.   I’ve talked about them before. My recent sampling was a [...]

Huntley, IL – Sammy’s Restaurant and Bar

20130609_085709

Hard to believe I would find myself in this little burg twice in a lifetime, let alone twice in a month. But here I am, it’s Father’s Day, I deserve a nice breakfast out in the traditional Father’s Day tradition! Sammy’s Restaurant and Bar is open for all meal services, and offers pretty standard “diner” [...]

Sycamore, IL – The Country Store and Catering

20130608_134142(0)

Small towns delight me, and especially in the Deep South or Upper Midwest.  You can drive around almost any corner, and find a gem of a surprise, whether it’s a small town festival, a jewel of a piece of architecture, a funky shop, or a surprise of a restaurant. Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I hit one [...]

Home Cookin’ – Home Run Inn Frozen (6 inch) Pizza

small one

I’ve written about Home Run Inn frozen pizzas previously;  it’s the best-selling pie in the greater Chicagoland area. Today I sampled one of their individual-sized pies (what?  Extra large is “individual-sized” for me!)  These are generally at the grocery for around $3.69 each, of three for $10.   They weigh 8.75 ounces, when their “regular” size [...]

Recipe – Celery Root Soup

Mrs. Burgerdogboy taught me to appreciate soup more than I had in this lifetime.   She made some pretty good ones, but turned out, I am better at it than her.  She’s happy with a bowl of ramen or a can of Progresso, adorned with a couple of tablespoons of Tabasco;  I go more for [...]

Small Town America – Fest Food

Few things I appreciate more than some family out slinging ‘hash’ at small town festivals, county fairs, and the like.  Today’s occasion was a ginormous flea market in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, held several times over the course of the summer. (dates).  Reminded me of one Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I stopped at in Central Washington a couple [...]

Oscar Meyer Selects Angus Smoked Uncured Beef Franks

Whoa, that’s a long name.  Saw these the other day for the first time, when I was in the hunt for my usual brands, premium casing dogs like Usingers or Vienna Beef. These were $3.99, for a 14 oz, 8 frank package;  they are bun length, and a bit redder in color than most grocery [...]

Duluth, MN – Sammy’s Pizza (Downtown)

Not much more I can say about Sammy’s, the small regional chain in the Upper Midwest, I’ve written about them a couple times.   Here’s the point:  I’ve had pizza all over the world, from Naples, Florida, to Naples, Italy;  from Boise to Beijing.  And Sammy’s is still my favorite, and worth a couple day drive [...]
