I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 2 years ago. Decades of not paying attention, being overweight, not exercising. I can still enjoy all these foods I write about, but in moderation, which should have been the case from the get go. I guess I was absent that day in health class. I’ve made [...]

1 Comment »There once was a young man who took a chance On living with a philandering woman in France. He’d say “oh this could be so neat, “Look at all the things there are to eat, But dammit, woman, keep on your pants!” She didn’t care for my suggestion, and eventually I took off. Isn’t it [...]
Ok, it wasn’t “cooking”, but rather,”heating.” We picked up a frozen Shepherd’s Pie at Trader Joe’s last week, and Mrs. BurgerDogBoy had a hankering for it last night. It seemed like the perfect comfort food choice for a snowy night in Portland. Having lived in London, I’ve consumed my share of shepherd’s pie, good, bad, [...]
Ordinarily, my wife wouldn’t walk across a small room for a potato chip, just doesn’t care about them one way or another. Me, on the other hand, I was pretty used to consuming two big bags of them (Wavy or Ruffles) a week, until recently. I’ve slacked off. I especially like them to dip [...]

It’s always been a hang-out of theirs since the early days of couple-dom (2nd anniversary coming up Jan 1, if [...]
Rang up (ok, logged on) to Delivered Dish tonight for a change of pace. We use them quite often, really, I’ve never had a bad experience with them. They’ve always showed up on time, and the delivery people are pretty courteous. Delivery fees are apparently set by the individual restaurants and can range for [...]
Located on the ground floor of theParamount Hotel, across the street from Director’s Park in downtown Portland, Dragonfish is a mash-up of the cuisines of various Asian countries, and sushi, with a sprinkle of American fusion added. I’ve been here several times, even tho I am not a big sushi fan, it’s [...]
Mrs. BurgerDogBoy treated me (us) to a cooking class in Portland, recently, held at Whole Foods – Fremont, conducted by local cultural ambassadors, Spice of Africa. This was a birthday present for me, and what a grand idea it was. We had pre-selected Kenyan cuisine (one could also choose the foods of Cameroon or Nigeria), and the class [...]
What? BurgerDogBoy writing about Chinese food? You bet. A secret you don’t know – I lived in China for 8 years, loved every moment of it, and even managed to find a burger or two of unknown origin there from time to time, which I shared with my trusty sidekick, Chinese pop superstar Kayoumin. [...]
I have written a more extensive review of the Lotus Card Room previously, this post is just an update on a couple more items from their happy hour menu. Mrs. BDB and I were in Pioneer Courthouse Square (Portland’s Living Room!) for the 26th annual giant Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, on black Friday. Generally, the [...]
