Interview: Karen Bernards 2007-11-03 20:15:00 Introducing Karen
Bernards and her "Sweet Hot Thai Burger".This September our new local hero (McMinnville) Karen Bernards won the Sutter Home Build A Better Burger Contest and collected an oversized check for $50,000 (thats about 8300 hamburgers! ). She got to feed her champion burger to Al Roker on televisions Today show, flown around a bit, and I'm sure got her fair share of free Sutter Home wine.The burger used many Thai influences, crushed Kettle chips, and some delicious sweet & spicy thai sauce in the mince.You can watch her on the Today Show here: LINKWe have now dubbed her with the honary Portland Hamburger alias the BurgerQueen. Who else would be more deserving?Here follows some of our interview slowballs and her winning recipe:Do you normally enter food contests? I heard there are folks out there making a living doing it.The extent of my cooking contest experience is the Oregon State Fair. I like to enter their daily contest. I have met a lot of great people there. Bui
Mean Gene's Burgers 2007-11-03 15:35:00 You know its not that we would try and pull that marketing gimmick of repackaging pop culture bits from your youth and pawning them for consumption. Sorry about that. Not even sure if these are around anymore.Seems like Gene learned that having a business partner can be a messy affair. Wikipedia sums it up:His name has been associated with fast food chain, Mean Gene’s Burgers
, and a chain of pizzerias located within bowling alleys, Mean Gene's Pizza. These are owned by Hot Stuff Foods, which was headed by two of his nephews. Early in 2006, Okerlund and Hot Stuff split. Okerlund and one of the nephews were planning to start their own food company on the brands, but Hot Stuff sued, claiming they had "Mean Gene" trademarked. Okerlund lost, with the judge saying that Okerlund can't use the name "Mean Gene" for his new food company. Okerlund succeeded in cancelling the trademark registrations held by Orion, but remains enjoined from competing with Orion.Mean Gene always had a qualit

...20 oz Pabst and burgers that they put cheese on BOTH sides of the patty. I don't understand why no one else adopts this practice. Seriously genius.

Slow Bar UPDATE 2007-11-09 20:07:00 DJ Izm gives us a taste of his favorite burger in town.He also has a taste of his trade. From Uffie to Soul II Soul, to some updated version of the Percolator mashed with The Crystals "Then He Kissed Me". Yep, he has a mix you can download: LINKThe Slow Bar burger is my favorite. $9 (extra w bacon), 1/2 pound Strawberry Mountain beef, lettuce, tomato, Gruyere cheese, and two Onion Rings on a perfect sesame seed bun.

The "Slowburger" was perfect, juicy, and delicious. Th
Caprial's 2007-11-09 18:14:00 CondimentSpreader is working his way deeper into the Southeast.We got a big-un' here....Pretty serious.1/3lb of that Strawberry Mountain stuff we all enjoy. Grilled to order with crispy fried shoestring onions and a house-baked bun. Pleasant garlic aioli, and I opted for creamy bleu on top. Really nice. Little pricey at $9.50 with the cheese, but not an everyday burg. Served with relish made from Caprial's own pickles (one of which accompanies the meal). I'd suggest ordering it a little less done than your preference, as mine was medium and not medium rare.Bonus Pickle!Caprial's7015 SE Milwaukie AvePortland, OR 97202(503) 236-6457
Saucebox 2007-11-08 12:57:00 AmericanCheese sure does like to find happy hour burgers.The burger was their "Sauvie Island Burger". It came with Tillamook cheddar, undercooked bacon, and special sauce which they mention on the menu contains raw eggs.The burger was extremely greasy, but was also extremely good. On the smaller side, but good. Strawberry Mountain beef!Saucebox214 SW BroadwayPortland, OR 97205(503) 241-3393
Links: The Food Pornographer 2007-11-16 17:52:00 The Food Pornographer (safe for work...its food photos) has quite of collection of burgering going on down there in Australia. We have been enjoying checking out all the different fast food burgers, homemade action, and that last one with an Irish theme. Yep, its a potato cake with the burger.
Rogue Ales Public House 2007-11-16 14:44:00 The Hamburgler gets back in the game and checks out one of them "brewpubs" that seemed to be such a trend back in the 90's.The burgers here come in a bit more expensive (that bacon cheeseburger you see was $9.75). Does not come anywhere close to other burgers at that price or less (Slow Bar, Club 21, North 45, Amnesia), probably due to some overhead issue. sigh.Should have skipped the regular burger and went straight for the "American Kobe Beef" burger. Those start at $11.95 for a 1/2 pounder, and up to $14.95 for bacon/cheese. This will probably need an update.Kind of turned off by the whole place. It's not that the beer is bad, or that the burger is bad, it's when you are eating here you are bombarded with branding of the Rouge empire and the room feels like mail order catalog "bar theme".

The Hutch 2007-11-14 18:46:00 AmericanCheese and CondimentSpreader continue their quest through Southeast Portland:Having been to the original Hutch
on Glisan quite a few times it was deemed necessary to peep their new venture on 41st and SE Holgate. Formerly a restaurant named Grandma's,... the New Hutch is pretty laidback. Full old school digs upstairs, huge woodcarved bar downstairs. Head downstairs.Large menu, some good burger selection. Really nice bartender. AmericanCheese went straight for the traditional Cheeseburger. They serve it and all their burgers with a house special sauce. No condiments required. Good large steak fries.CondimentSpreader thought he was tough and opted for the "Hero Burger". Ham, two pieces of soft bacon, a fried egg, american cheese and a half pound of beef. The ham, which is usually thick in burgs of this type, was super thin and layered. Super good and almost overpowered the flavor of the beef. Only 2/3 the way through and it looked like breathing became difficult. R
Club 21 2007-11-12 16:31:00 Originally a Russian Orthodox Church, then a stint as a bar known as "The Shadows" before taking on the persona "Club 21" since 1958.The Hamburgler and Pickles & Ammo needed a well deserved lunch break and clue us in.While sitting in one of Portlands finest dining establishments recently, the chef (who shall remain nameless) highly recommended this place as his favorite burger in town (I'm sure much to the horror of the other listening patrons). Well, he was right. This is actually a great burger.The first one up there is a bacon cheeseburger with all the usual suspects for $7.00 with chips.

Burger Skills: Hamburger Slang 2007-11-18 14:52:00 There is a lot of slang out there about hamburgers and from time to time we will update this list. If you come across any hamburger related slang let us know. Following is a listing of hamburger and related slang (barring the obvious):$100 Hamburger
: Aviation slang for a private general aviation flight for the sole purpose of dining at a non-local airport. Most often used by pilots who are looking for any excuse to fly, a $100 hamburger trip usually involves flying a short distance (less than two hours), eating at an airport restaurant, and flying home. "$100" originally referred to the approximate cost of renting or operating a light general aviation aircraft, such as a Cessna 172, for the time it took to fly round-trip to a nearby airport. Increasing fuel prices have since caused an increase in hourly operating costs for most airplanes, whether rented or owned.American Chop Suey: Macoroni with hamburger and a bit of tomato sauce.Bap: soft, flattish bread roll; hamburger bun.Burger

before the winery trek begins.WhopperChomper went the traditional route 1/2 lb burger with all the trimmings & Tillamook Cheddar ($8). Massive burger, massive flavor. Glad I went with the big burger, I was able to keep partying well into the night after the wine tasting trip... ToastedBun ate the sliders & didn’t fare so well. ToastedBun opted for the 2 sliders ($5) with a side of fries (. “The sliders came with a special sauce that was quite tasty!”Sadly, that didn’t prove to be enough to defend ToastedBun’s full-day onslaught of wine tasting. If you’re going to drink all day, get the regular burger. If you’re only going to drink for part of the day, you’ll be fine with the sliders. :)-------------ORIGINAL POST: 9.14.07"Hamburgler" and "RarePattie" found some delicious hamburgers at Pause in

The price starts at $8.00 for a hamburger, but I added mushrooms and Gruyere cheese for an additional $2.00. You could also select bacon or cheddar cheese, each for $1.00. Cava throws in lettuce, red onions, and pickle slices on the side. The burger comes with a choice of either green salad or fries.
