Two Cool Portland Things: 'Portland Hamburgers' Blog and Roadside Burger Family

20080225-portland-hamburgers.jpgI'm going to kill two birds with one stone with this post. First bird: I've been meaning to give a shout-out to the awesome blog Portland Hamburgers for a while now and don't know what's stopped me. It's a cool addition (though it's now been around since August 2007) to the burger-blogging scene. Sorry for sleepin' on the shout-out, PDX Burgers!

Second: Check out this cool photo that Portland Hamburgers dug up of a "family" of burger mascot people that happens to be sitting in the back yard of the folks who run Vintage Roadside—a Portland business that sells the ephemera of bygone roadside America. What an amazing collection to have! Could you imagine the total and ultimate cred this array would lend you while hosting grill-outs? Here's a link to a full set of "family" photos.

The family is from the old A&W chain when they had Papa Burgers, Mama Burgers, Teen Burgers, and Baby Burgers.

The Mama Burgers were great!

Our local A&W still has these on the roof.

No way! That's amazing. I'd love to get my hands on an A&W family, but I don't think my landlady would be too keen on me sticking this in our little garden.

The Teen Burger had bacon on it.
