Went to Germany, had a burger: Buffalo Beef, Dortmund review

When one goes to Germany you might think of Berger/Burger and not think of hamburgers. Even Hamburg does not have anything to do with the seemingly (but wrongly) namesake Hamburger. Hamburger could refer to a person from Hamburg, but not the sandwich is not.

 A "premium burger bude" (stall, stand, booth) Buffalo Beef in Dortmund is a cozy little burger joint that delivers large and tasty burgers in the heart of Kruezfeld.
This is almost ALL the seating,  only the six-top that I am sitting at is not shown
 At an average of 10€ per burger menu (burger with fries or coleslaw) it is a premium priced burger. The burgers we quite good, and on part for prices with what we might pay in the US for an "upscale burger". Well above what I might expect from a 5 guys or Smashburger offering, this is on a level similar to the Detroit Favorite Brasserie Burger from the Red Coat Tavern.
The limited time Champion Burger hiding behind the beer
Served on your choice of Brioche or Whole Wheat bun and served in 120g or 180g (1/4lb or 1/3lb , actually a little larger than a third 0.396832 lb to be more precise) they prepared the burger to a lovely medium. Mine was topped with cheddar, bacon, and a fried egg; their limited time Champion Burger.

When in Dortmund and craving a good tavern burger Buffalo Beef will fill (and likely stuff) the bill.

Brewery Tour by Canoe: Boardman Lake, Traverse City, MI

 Boardman Lake is smack-dab downtown in Traverse City, MI. Easily accessible from the lake are three, maybe even four breweries. Local kayak liveries have scheduled tours to kayak and bike to several local breweries and taprooms. So on this August Sunday, StringGrrl and I decided that we should make the tour ourselves.  Coffee first! It would be irresponsible to embark on day drinking un-caffeinated Boardman Lake Trail Bridge and entry to the River There is a free public launch in Hull Park, just behind the Traverse Area Public Library. Parking adequate for up to 5 cars and up to 5 trucks with trailers, right near the launch and more parking elsewhere in the park made for an easy launch that morning. We paddled our way into the river first to have a coffee while drifting through town. Ideally, one should be able to portage the canoe past the dam and connect directly into Grand Traverse Bay, but construction near the dam made that portage just inconvenient enough that StringGrr...

Kyushu izakaya with Keysight (ESI) team in Shinjuku

Kyushu Netchuya, Shinjuku in the Nomura Building  The team in Shinjuku Tokyo, in Japanese custom, very hospitably invited StringGrrl out for an Authentic Kyushu izakaya experience. We walked from the office to a nearby shopping area to visit the restaurants in the lower levels (Why can't we have such nice things in the USA?). Izakaya are casual Japanese pubs or taverns that serve drinks and a variety of small plates, similar to experiences with Tapas in Spain, the work teams will leave the office for a drink and meal of several tastes before embarking on sometimes long commutes home. Kyushu Island is home to Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Oita, Saga, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, and Okinawa prefectures. It is the 3rd largest of the Japanese Islands and is the southernmost of the larger Japanese "mainland".  Credited with being the "Birthplace of Ramen", where Tonkotsu Ramen was innovated as a novel new dish using Chinese Noodles in a Creamy Pork Bone broth. Hakata Gyoza,...
