Mrs. Burgerdogboy do love her Popeye’e, especially a side of red beans, and I’m always happy to oblige her, as she’s taught me the whole “happy wife, happy life” thing, and it’s 100% on target. So whenever I roll past a Popeye’s, or am pointed in that direction by my better two-thirds, off I go, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The head of the Minnesota Burger Posse, Kawika, hit the Patriot Café at the VA center in Minneapolis today, in hot pursuit of their made to order pizzas. From their own description: “We serve a 16” pizza made fresh daily, whole or by the slice. We use the highest quality sauce, meats, cheeses and toppings. [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

Extra Value is an economy brand, manufactured by the Holten Meat Company, outside of St. Louis. I bought a package of a dozen quarter [...]

I had no idea the company had sprouted so many locations in the past few years. I first became acquainted with the chain in New Orleans, Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I were having kind of a funky / downlow Thanksgiving, and we wandered into the [...]

Arby’s was founded in Boardman, Ohio, in [...]
