A PRACTICAL GUIDE This site is an ode to Portland‘s food carts, and a practical
guide on where to find them and what to eat once you get there. It contains a listing of carts, a map, a
search feature, and categories by cuisine types and specific locations. It also contains photos and
menus if I can get them. I tend to write in the positive about these carts, although I will always be
honest in my findings. Restated, this isn't a "review" site. I would rather my readers make up their own
minds as to what they like and don't like, and I don't really think it is fair to really put a $5- 7 dollar
meal at a small independently owned local business under a microscope like that. Thus, you won't see
star ratings here or too many harsh judgments like you might see on some other food sites. I save my serious food review writing for Portland Food and Drink.com. If you have any
tips, updates, or your own opinions, feel free to leave comments or drop me a line! Warning: Food cart
information is especially vulnerable to change (the carts are on wheels after all). Although I will do my
best to keep this site updated, any news you send my way will be especially appreciated.
THE RULES Comments and discussion are welcomed and encouraged. However,
please conduct yourselves with decorum and respect towards others. Trolling, flaming, or anything
spiteful, slanderous or downright annoying will be moderated. We don't use swear words on the site
and chronic potty mouths will be banned. If you want to link to this site, or portions of my articles, be
my guest as long as you publish and give clear credit to the authors. Scraping , blatant or excessive
copying, or presenting content in a way that makes it appear to be your own work is lame, so please
don't do it. PORTLAND HEARTS FOOD CARTS Portland has
a proliferation of Food Carts and they seem to be growing in numbers and locations. Some might call
them lunch wagons, taco trucks or even snack shacks, but whatever you call them, they are truly a
phenomenon in Portland. Set up in parking lots, sidewalks, and even parks (sometimes in large groups
and sometimes solo), one might nosh on a fresh tortilla Baja fish taco one day, a rib-sticking bowl of
traditional goulash the next, have a coffee and pastry for an afternoon snack, and then take home a
giant Indian combo box for dinner. Locals from various places and committed food-loving tourists
from all over know that some of the best food to be had in any city from Bangkok to Baja is to be had
at small street stands, carts, and other non-restaurant restaurants. New York City, for example, a city
with some great street food, holds the annual ―Vendy Awards‖ to express their love for
mobile dining. There is even a website dedicated to street food around the world, although oddly, no
U.S. cities are represented. In fact, many cities in the U.S. strictly limit or outlaw food carts
completely, making Portland more akin to cities in Europe than in the U.S. Food carts are also about
supporting small, locally-owned businesses and small start-ups that might not have the capital or credit
to open up their own full-fledged restaurants. That said, food carts are not restaurants! With limited
hours, lack of indoor (and sometimes lack of any) seating, and small menus, they complement rather
than compete with full-scale restaurants. Food carts help create a vibrant downtown and central city by
bringing what planning geeks call a "social fabric on the street" which is great in cultural terms, but in
economic terms also attracts other spenders, retail outlets, and restaurants and cafes. Food carts also
often illustrate the delicious benefits to a growing ethnically diverse community, as many immigrants
own and operate them and make and serve some pretty tasty ethnic specialties. Plus, food carts can be
a fantastic bargain for office workers, students, budget travelers, and anyone looking for a cheap,
quick, but delicious bargain lunch. Regardless, food carts are part of the culinary fabric of our
wonderful city and dining in Portland wouldn‘t be the same without them. Bon appétit …

Food Carts Portland is a collaborative effort between Dieselboi (Brett Burmeister) and Cuisine Bonne
Femme (Lizzy Caston). CBF founded the site and ran it from September of 2007 until the Summer of
2009. While she still contributes and participates in the mysterious "back end" and editorial decisions,
Dieselboi took over the day to day responsibilities during the summer of 2009. Dieselboi is now the
main writer, editor in chief, and main media contact. Yeah, basically, he's the boss. You can contact
Dieselboi here. Food Carts Portland does accept occasional submissions from outside writers, and are
eternally grateful to all who have and continue to contribute, read the site, comment and help spread
the word about the wonderful food cart scene in Portland. We would be nowhere without all of you!
Guilty Carnivore did our fantastic graphic header and a special thanks to Portland Food and Drink's
own legendary Food Dude who helped program the site and continues to lend a steady and skilled hand
when needed. This site would not exist without his work, encouragement and inspirational force.
Thanks Food Dude! Dieselboi I
have lived in Portland all my life and love this city. I have been blogging about my story in Portland
for the past six years in various locations, most recently for OurPDX Network. Having worked
downtown now on and off for 15 years, I have fallen in love with the many food carts and visit them
daily. One of my first memories of eating cart food was with Honkin‘ Huge Burritos at Pioneer
Courthouse Square during my college protest days in the 1990s. Ever since then, I have evangelized
cart food to my colleagues, friends and family. Coming to town? I‘ll probably take you out for a
microbrew and then for lunch at a cart. I have personally converted those who would never try cart
food to now be regulars. I have enjoyed some of my best meals at food carts in this wonderful city both
day and night. I‘ll do my best to get out there and find the carts that have yet to be discovered. You
can contact me at dieseboi at gmail dot com. Now go out and grab some lunch. Cuisine Bonne
Femme I take my name from a culinary term (à la Cuisine Bonne Femme) which roughly translates to
home style cooking of simple dishes based on the freshest ingredients, gently coaxed to bring out their
best qualities. Things like roast chicken with crackling skin, meat stews, all kinds of soups, and
anything served on toast, rice or noodles. You know, peasant food like your
French/Southern/Thai/Mexican/Lebanese mother might make. If you are interested, you can read
some of my other writing over at Food Dude‘s amazing website Portland Food and Drink. In my
formative years, I worked more food service jobs than I can count, from a high-end traditional
Japanese restaurant in a large city to a grease-pit diner off Interstate 5. And I still have a nasty case of
espresso wrist from the 10 billion lattes made during my barista years. I also have an educational
background that includes food sciences and politics, and try to take a big picture view of the role that
all things gastronomic have in shaping the economy, culture, identity, and eve- changing food scene
both here and elsewhere. I also believe Portland is at a pivotal and creative time food wise, and I am
constantly amazed and surprised at the bounty this city has to offer

[Closed as of August 2009] Location: SW 5th and Oak/Stark
Description: Vegetarian and Vegan food only, including things like baked potatoes,
"meatballs", sandwiches, french fries and pretty good falafel. The only thing about this cart is that,
well, the aesthetic might freak some people out. Like many a good cart, the focus is on the food and
not the decor. Also, hope you like the Grateful Dead, because I guarantee that's the music that will be
serenading you from the speakers as you wait for your food. The owner of this cart is very nice.

I had a veggie burger ($5.50) there the other day and it was full of win. It's hand-made and falafel-
esque as it uses chickpea flour to keep the patty together, but it's mixed with fresh edamame and
other veggies too. Comes on multigrain bread with lettuce, tomato, & garlic tahini. It was big
and delicious. A nice alternative to frozen, sodium-rich store-bought veggie patties.

I go here at least once a week and have yet to be disappointed by anything he's made. The fries are
some of the better ones I've tasted and his falafels are also tasty. My favorite though is a bbq
tempeh & buffalo tofu melt. He knows I like spicy food, so he'll usually add extra spice to it.
Very nice guy too.

haven't been there in a few months. Great guy that ran the place, I'll miss this cart. Never got to
try everything I wanted to try there, but the fries were always some of the best in town. Perfect, in

Location: SW 5th and Oak/Stark Parking Lot Description: Not to
be confused with New Taste of India located a few carts down on the same "cart strip", this one has a
giant menu (how do they have such a huge menu in such small digs anyway) and the standard 5 piece
combo for $5.50 which includes 2 entrees, dal, basamati rice, and nan bread, served either with meat
or vegetarian. Ok, so it's greasy and heavy food. This is also cheap and filling food. As a poor grad
student I used to be able to get 2-3 meals out of one standard combo. A recent combo included chicken
curry, chicken pakoras, chana masala for the meat variety and channa saag, dal tarka, and vegetable
korma for the vegetarian option. Real Taste of India also has over 60 things listed a la carte on their
menu ranging from samosas ($3.00 for 2 samosas) to a wide variety of meat or vegetable curries and
entrees ($5.00-$7.00), and even 3 different kinds of rice Biriyani ($5.50-$7.00). They are also open
late enough to grab to go food for dinner at home. Phone: 503-295-5564

Love the website, thanks for making it, here goes my very polite effort at complete disagreement.
I think - and, though anecdotal masses are of little value when making a point online, a huge and
devoted following agrees - that this is one of the best carts in portland, maybe the best in terms of
value* and hands down the best Indian food in town. It kicks the Chaat House, which is a solid
B+/A- effort, right in the sari. In my somewhat humble-ish opinion. * where V = (A*Q)/(P+W)
when V = Value A = Amount of food Q = Quality P = Price W = Wait time The only thing I've
ever had there that's greasy are the samosas, which are not a fave of mine even at their best. -
Quantity is stunning. Easily 2 meals per serving, and I like big lunches. - Spiciness calibration is
*perfect* - obviously that's subjective, but for me, medium should be enjoyably hot. Even more
importantly, they're consistent - medium is the same every time, never boring or brutal, which is
key - you hear me talkin', Sawasdee Thai?!?!? Yeah, I'm talkin' to YOU! - Selection is unmatched
by any cart I have ever seen, and better than most restaurants. - Wait time can be long if you order
something other than a special during the rush, but not terrible. - They have nice chutneys for a
quarter, I like to get one mint and one sweet one like mango. - Look for vegan options on a second
menu that's visible from inside their shelter. I used to be one of those ppl that loved Indian food
but didn't really know what anything was called other than tandoori chicken. After my first great
meal here I started trying things randomly and have never gotten a dish I didn't love, and know I
know what everything is called. My favorites include the biryanis (basically indian fried rice) and
the khorma, which is so rich it's maybe a bit overwhelming. A great move is to go with a friend
and order one of each of those, then split 'em. Actually that'd be easily enough food for 3 or 4
people. So, a respectful but very strong disagreement. This is a widely beloved cart, and if you
like Indian food at all I give it the highest possible recommendation.

I like this place, too (definitely better than New Taste of India, and who picked these names?), but
let's not get too rhapsodic here. Yes, the selection is impressive, if simultaneously a bit
frightening. I don't know how they do it, and I guess I don't want to know. But the reason to go
here is, as Tyler mentioned, the quantity. I can split one meal and a naan for two heavy meals, or
one meal and two naans for three meals. It's insane. Still, the quality is medium at best. The
flavors lack subtlety, and nothing except the naan seems too fresh. I imagine it's because they have
to prepare things beforehand to be able to serve so many options so quickly. The saag is okay
(though they're always pretty stingy with paneer). But the lentils (dahl tarka?) I had one time were
way too salty. It made my mouth hurt.

They'll do a veggie khorma vegan upon request, with coconut milk (usually a cream sauce).
Unusual green veggies (I think zucchini, some sort of lima bean), slivered almonds--probably
about 2000 calories, but so, so good. Better than most restaurants.

Quality is definitely medium for Indian food, and agreed that the naan is possibly the best thing
available. Agreed also that portions are excellent and wait time is low. But Geeez do they add a
lot of salt to Everything they make!! Next time you eat here, notice how thirsty you get an hour or
two later.

I went to Real Taste of India for my first time today. On the plus side: - they were pretty friendly.
- I got my food quickly. - How awesome is it that one can get vegetarian and even vegan Indian
food downtown? On the negative side: - I ordered the tofu saag and even though it was vegan, it
was still really greasy. - Each customer gets their food in a plastic container that's a #6 in a
triangle that can't be recycled. (Portland only recycles up to #5 in a triangle.) So they're handing
out a gazillion of these clear plastic containers that are just ending up in landfills. I probably
won't be going back anytime soon - too many other carts to check out downtown!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="Veli Thai
Food"][/caption] Location: SW 5th and Oak/Stark
Description: Thailand is a country that is obsessed with street food. In
large cities like Bangkok or even the smallest of towns one can find all kinds of delicious food at
bargain prices. You'll see rich folks pull up in Mercedes and people of all types and classes slurping
soups, dining on noodles, and enjoying other specialties. Every time I walk by Veli Thai I get a whiff
of garlic, lemon grass, ginger and a thousand other amazing scents that bring me back to my travels in
Thailand. Almost everything at Veli is $5.00 and includes Thai standards such a big container of Phad
Thai, several different kinds of curries (red, yellow, green, etc), and lots of stir fries as well as fried
rices. Salad rolls are 2 for $3.00 and make for a light lunch or perfect snack. Some recent specials also
included a pineapple curry and a pumpkin curry. Just about everything is available in a vegetarian
version. [Updated with photo August 2009] Hours: lunchtime Mon-Fri

Great folks, great food. My wife is from Thailand, and I (well, she) can tell you that these folks at
Veli Thai do thai food more authentic than almost anyone in Portland!! Usually, thai restaurants
'tone' down the food - not just the spiciness, also other flavors - to make it fit in more with 'all of
America'. Too bland for me! Veli Thai has a great menu, it's affordable and they always greet you
with a smile. Just to help them a little, I've got to mention how it is pronounced - it's Vee-lie.
Enjoy!

per week, and had to force myself cut back! They are great people, very friendly! It is the only
Thai cart I will go to! I'll even grab a bite to eat there if I'm downtown on a Saturday, when I could
easily hop in my car and go somewhere else. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!

Veli Thai surpasses the vast majority of the brick and mortar Thai places around town. The Pad
Kee Mao is one of the best I've had, the Pad Thai is above average, and the Red Curry is good as
well. The recipes have depth, flavor, and they aren't afraid to use heat. Everything is about $5,
portions are large, and the service is awesome. Relatively short lines for how good this place is,
even at noon. The service is awesome, they take care of you with a little hot tea on cold days, and
are always cheerful and quick. This place is an unheralded gem in the middle of downtown.

My wife and I just spent a long weekend in Portland and, on our way to the airport yesterday, we
wanted to grab lunch from one of the carts. We walked by the ones on SW 3rd between Alder
& Washington and nothing grabbed our attention. We ended up a couple of blocks away at
the row on SW 5th between Washington & Stark, and after surveying where the crowds
seemed to be gathering we decided to try Veli Thai. What a great choice that was! My wife got
the Pad Thai, and I got the Red Curry Noodles. Being used to "Americanized" Thai food, even in
L.A., we both elected to have it spiced to "medium." Certainly spicier than we're used to, but at the
same time we couldn't stop eating, even though there was way more food than we needed! "Best
Thai since I lived in New York," my wife said. I say, best Thai I've ever had. Can't wait to go
back!

Location: SW 5th and Oak/Stark Parking Lot Description: I like
establishments with straightforward names. Guess what this one serves? Vietnamese food of course. I
like Vietnamese food for lunch because it can be filling but not too heavy. VFTG makes a decent Pho,
As in the spicy, Vietnamese Penicillin, good for what ails you noodle soup. Comes in either beef (pho
bo), chicken (pho ga), or one they call "spicy beef flavor". Each are $5.00 and come with the usual
accompaniments of basil, cilantro, mung bean sprouts, and hot sauces, etc. Salad rolls are a great
bargain here with 2 for $3.00 or 3 for $3.50. Other entrees include large rice or noodle bowls at $4.50
with things like grilled chicken or beef, some vegetarian options, and occasional specials such as the
stuffed Vietnamese rice crepe known as Bahn Xeo and Bahn Mi Vietnamese sandwiches.

An abundance of noodle fills your bowl, but the owner still likes to handle money and food with
the same hand.

If this is the place I think it is, the pho was tepid and oily and the banh xeo were insipid.
Everything tasted like stale cooking oil. I love grungy street food, but I would never eat
here again.

2 Locations: SW 5th and Oak/Stark Parking Lot and SW 4th and James Street
Description: At both locations New Taste of India seems to be a popular choice
among ravenous office workers and The boys in Blue from the close by Portland Police headquaters.
And why not? The food is decent, the prices are good, and the portions are huge. New Taste of India
serves the usual Indian cart 5 piece (meat or vegetarian) combo of rice, naan bread, and 3 different
entrees of the day for less than $6.00. A bargain, and enough food for 2 meals at least. Other Indian
standards such as Saag Paneer, Tandori Chicken, Vegetable or Meat kormas, etc, are also available.
Mango Lassi and samosas make a great snack. A slightly smaller menu than their neighbor Real Taste
of India, but the food is similar in my opinion. Love it or hate it, it's really all about big portions at
cheap prices here. Hours: M-F Lunch until 6PM or so. Phone:

Best Chicken Tikka Masala we have ever had. It's like velvet. It is a bit heavy for lunch, so we
order the sauce and rice in separate containers and have them later for dinner. There is a reason
this dish has become the world's favorite dish, and this one is great!

Just came from New Taste of India - worst Indian ever. Very little spinach in the brownish gunk
they call Saag Paneer, nothing in Pashwari but gelatinous coconut spread, no mint in the mint
chutney. It was like wanting Mexican and eating at Taco Bell. Blech.

ask. Vegan friendly and most excellent.

Taking up desirable corner real estate on the corner of SW 5th and Oak, King Burrito doesn't have the
best burritos in Portland, but they aren't bad either. The burritos are huge (at least 3-4 pounds each) at
$4.00 - $4.50 each. They also serve breakfast, a rarity among food carts with things like eggs and
chiorizo, or breakfast burritos for $3.50. A very popular spot at lunchtime; expect to wait in line.

The real draw for me is their habanero and tomatio sauces. You have to ask for them specially
(normally only the "green" or "red" sauces are offered) and they're perfect if you like spicy food.

Food is alright, but I'm appalled by their unethical business practice that takes unfair advantage of
customers. They'd gladly accept tip for nothing, yet they refuse to accept their own fees as a cost
of business and charge customers a surcharge for using his credit card. Surcharging is prohibited
by VISA & MasterCard contract, but they ignore it and unethically tack on these fees on your
receipt. Their justification was "there are worse offenders out there".

Just my tastes, but they've got the best burritos on the Alder lot. Try the carnitas. The meats don't
have the gross, chewy wads of fat that other carts (Chinto's) have, the red sauce is really good, and
they use rice in their burritos.

At this years Cinco de Mayo Fest on the waterfront I took it upon myself to find the best taco of
the fest. Daunting, laborous, sweaty and intense, but I was nothing if not determined. Mr Taco
won hands down. Excelent meat (I liked the pork over the chicken or the beef) served on a fresh,
hot tortilla with onions and cilantro if you want it. They have 4 or 5 sauces to choose from if you
so desire. I like the runny green stuff best. Best. Taco. Ever.

Of all the carts in this area of downtown, Pho Le has the best vermicelli bowls. His noodles are not
overcooked and he has ample veges. However, he makes everything fresh... that's not a bad thing,
but expect to wait 10 minutes for your plate. I haven't tried any of the pho soups, but I always see
others eating them. The vietnamese sandwiches were good, but not great. He's usually open M-F,
11am-4pm. It helps to call your order in if you know what you want. 503-484-6486, I haven't
called in an order for months so I don't know if that number is valid... I think he'd have a lot more
business if you didn't have to wait so long for your food... but then again, if he preped more, the
flavors and texture wouldn't be as fresh.

the soup here rocks. calling ahead is a good idea, since he does make everything fresh to order.
excellent broth, high quality meat. It's a little more expensive than some other carts, but well
worth it.

This is my absolute favorite food cart in Portland. Try their carnitas taco, because it will blow you
away. My friends never believe me when I tell them that it's amazing. Then they try one bite, and
they're never the same again.

This is one of my favorites in all of Portland. They guys that run it are super nice and the food
tastes just like I've eaten on the Yucatan (where they're from). Amazing.

Location: SW 9th and Adler Parking Lot Description: This
cart has received a lot of media attention the past year, for good reason. Ziba's is Portland's only
Bosnian food cart. What is Bosnian food, you ask? Bosnia is located in the Balkans, so think of a
delicious hybrid of Eastern European food crossed with Greek and Turkish influenced Mediterranean
cuisine, and a hint of the Middle East thrown in as well. Sound good? It is. This is food that is both
comforting and exotic at the same time. It's also not super heavy, emphasizing veggies, cucumbers and
yogurt, and things like roasted eggplant and red peppers. Everything is prepared fresh daily and made
by the charming Ziba herself (who will also probably be the one serving you your food). The pitas
themselves are not what you might think: More tender and flaky strudel-like than bread-like, with a
choice of different fillings including spinach and a cottage-like cheese, seasoned ground beef, or
zucchini (vegan) for $4.75 a la carte, or $5.50 for a plate that comes with cucumber and yogurt salad
and Ajvar which is an eggplant and red pepper side dish. I've read that some think the "pitas" here are
a bit greasy, but I've never encountered that. Another outstanding item is the Cofte meatballs with
yogurt sauce ($6.50 for a combo plate). Hours: Mon-Fri Lunch Hours, usually open
until 2PM or 3PM. Phone: Unknown INSERT_MAP

Ate there today on your recommendation - thanks, CBF! The spinach-filled pita was wonderful
and not at all greasy. And Ziba is indeed a charming lady who made sure I was happy with my
food. Now I want to try the beef pita and the salad plate.

Oh how I wish she had more than a cart! I would eat there daily. A lot of the cart food downtown
is surprisingly good, but Ziba's is amazing! Ziba herself is so friendly and she makes the most
delicious stuffed "pitas". She makes everything herself every morning. They are light and unique,
with the stuffing throughout the entire dough. The cucumber salad and red pepper spread on the
full plate option only enhance this fantastic taste sensation. Needless to say, I am addicted!

Simply amazing... I had the Cufte (pronounced: chufte) meatballs which came with a garlicky
yogurt sauce and ustipak (fried bread), and I also had a cucumber salad. The all-beef meatballs
were tender, delicately seasoned, and delicious, and you will need all the ustipak to mop up every
last drop of the sauce because you won't want any to go to waste! The cucumber salad provides a
crisp cold balance to the savory meatballs. Filling, satisfying, but not too greasy or heavy, just
yummy. Will definitely be returning!

I was thrilled to introduce my PDX friends to Bosnian staples today. My husband, also from
Sarajevo, has threatened to open up a Bosnian cafe in our Bay Area home only unlike Ziba, he
can't cook. All I can say is A visit to Ziba will be a must on future visits to Portland.

for his native land's food. Ziba's filled the void in our stomachs and hearts. The taste is authentic

Location: N Killingsworth and N Interstate Description: A recent
name change (from Tres Hermanos) and a location upgrade to a busy corner intersection, make La
Chiquita more popular than it used to be. Food is fairly straightforward here; burritos, tacos, sopes, etc.
Although the burritos aren't all that special, they are filling, however one would be better off getting
one of their tender tacos ($1.50) served on a hot, fresh, billowy house-made tortilla. La Chiquita also
has a nice touch with the way they prepare their meats and fresh salsas. Another nice thing is that they
have a few covered tables so take out is not mandatory. Hours
can be a little sporadic, as can the service which can alternate between perfectly pleasant and efficient
to bewildered or slowwwww (although they have gotten a lot better in recent weeks). Heck though, for
food this good and with these prices, I'm not complaining too much. Hours:
(warning due to change all the time for no apparent reason) Generally 10:30 or 11AM - 5PM or 6PM
Mon-Sat. Always closed on Sunday. Phone: Unknown Website:

Gross?? Wow - you must have gone on a bad day or something. I ate there a couple of weeks ago
and thought it was great. I didn't have a burrito however, I had tacos. I had the spicy beef, the beef
cheek (cabeza) and the beef tongue (lengua) tacos all served on soft, double tortilles (which is a
nice touch). Only $1.50 each, and all really good. All freshly made, with terrific spice and herb
notes. Pickled veggies come as a side for free, and they have a bunch of salsas/sauces to choose
from. I'll be back for sure.

The best test of a roach coach is if the Mexicans are eating there. I went to La Chiquita yesterday
for lunch and hijole, there was a table of 3 young latino dudes chowing down on tacos, complete
with sangria in the bottle. I got a carne asada burrito: delicious salty carne asada, complete with
fatty, gristly chunks, just like it ought to be. They do it Oregon style though, substituting some of
the meat for rice, and the rice was somewhat mushy, point deductions for that. The Aguacate
(guacamole) was perfect on top. I shared a table with Arturo from Cuernavaca, Morelos. He had
been there before while working a tilesetting job up the street and came all the way from
Clackamas on his day off! That's what I call voting with your gas money. Arturo recommended
the consomme (beef broth). I'm having that next time.

Viva La Chiquita! Yes, the meats are a bit too salty, which is part of the deal with most Mexican
food, but so what? The flavors are out of this world, and the tortillas are "hecho a mano", soft,
toothsome and delicious.

Personally, love their burritos. Normal burrito cart ingredients, (rice, beans, onion, etc) Somehow
they get the ingredients all mixed up and the cheese melted inside the burrito. Must put
everything on the grill first. Awesome cheesy, meaty goodness. They have really good red sauce
too. Don't know if it's out of a can, but it's creamy? You people complaining about the burritos
must not eat at a lot of burrito carts. I've eaten a lot of dried out, day old ingredients, gamey meat,
burritos off carts (and in taquerias), but never had a bad burrito here yet. All in all, one of the top
burrito carts in town!

Location: SW 5th and Oak/Stark Parking Lot Description:
Probably one of the best (and fanciest) food carts in Portland. This cute little red hut located on SW
Stark right by SW 5th is the home of the famous "snitzelwich" - a perfectly tender, breaded and fried
choice of chicken or pork cutlet served on a fresh ciabatta roll and served with a hint of horseradish
and a nice sweet paprika-red pepper sauce, grilled onions, and lettuce. Perfection for $6.00. Tabor also
serves an incredible goulash with or with out traditional large Czech dumplings, chicken paprikash,
and killer potato pancakes. Tabor also makes a whole other slew of sandwiches and soups in the $3.00
to $6.00 range, such as a creamy spinach soup or fried Munster cheese sandwich. Vegetarians and
vegans will appreciate the eggplant sandwich ($5.50) or one of the inspiring vegetable soups. On
Fridays, Tabor makes Halusky, the the Czech version of spaetzle dumplings. Other specialties include
fresh squeezed carrot juice for $2.00 (or vegetable/fruit juice blend for $2.00), and a German smoked
sausage on a roll for $6.00. Sample Menu: See Tabor Website Hours: Mon-Fri
Lunch Hours Only (probably closes before 3PM) Phone: 503-997-5467

Unfortunately, unless I misunderstood the proprietor (who did indeed seem very kind), the
eggplant sandwich contains eggs when breaded--though she offered to make one simply grilled.
Still looking forward to trying the soups.

This is of course a beloved cart but not one of my favorites at all. It's simply a matter of personal
taste, not that I think it's bad in any objective sense. The schnitzelwich, for me, is just rather
uninteresting. Just a 'YMMV' post, really. I'll try the goulash sometime though.

I know the Schnitzelwich is supposed to be the signature item here, but I feel it's more a gateway
to the better things Tabor has to offer -- it is, after all, just a sandwich. Though a surprisingly large
one with a tasty spread of condiments and tasty Grand Central bread. No, I recommend their more
ethnic fare. The goulash (or special chicken paprika -- so rich and smooth!) is great with the potato
dumplings (which are more like bread). The halusky is also great, though heavy (I thought it was
served on Thursdays, though). I can't say I liked the fresh juices I tried, but I've never been a huge
fan of carrot or ginger, so it's not really my thing.

I didn't realise such Hungarian staples as csirke paprikas, goulash and galuska were also traditional
Czech cuisine. A real surprise for someone who grew up on traditional Hungarian fare. The
Germans have been cribbing off native Hungarian cuisine and passing if off as their own since
forever, so why not the Czechs? It's a compliment, really.

The salad topped with schnitzel is outstanding. Crisp romaine lettuce with a great lemon-pepper
dressing, topped with fresh, hot pork (or chicken) schnitzel. One of the best things to eat for lunch
anywhere, inside or out.

I stopped there today. I'm a hothead, and their hot salsa is really hot. Also, don't get the vege-
cheese unless you don't mind your cheese as a rubbery bar down the middle. Otherwise, the
tamales are moist, are pretty big (considering they're a tamal), and you have a choice of toppings.

Location: SW 12th and Yamhill
Description: Probably one of the most beloved of all the food carts in Portland,
especially with vegetarians and vegans. For everything at the Chaat House is vegetarian, and all can be
made vegan if requested. This "cart" is actually a large panel van that has morphed over the past
couple of years to include a more permanent covered and enclosed porch with a counter and two picnic
tables, making it one of the few carts to eat at during either balmy or stormy weather. Food here is
fairly straightforward; a 5 piece combo (with rice and some of the best freshly made Nan bread
anywhere) will only run you $5.50. Curries, lentil and other bean dishes, vegetable standards like Saag
Aloo, Aloo Gobi, Mutter Paneer, and rice biriyanis (most of them around $5.00) somehow seem
fresher, lighter, and more balanced here than some of the other carts. Chaat refers to snacks in India,
and the Chaat House delivers nicely with things like vegetable pakoras, samosas, mango or salty
yogurt based lassis, kheer rice pudding, and a whole separate menu just for "chaat". These include the
above mentioned "snacks" as well as things like aloo tiki -deep fried spiced potato patties served with
chutney ($2.50), Samosa chaat with bits of potato stuffed samosas in a cold curry sauce with garbanzos
and coriander chutney ($5.00), or Bahle-Poor (a puffed rice snack). One of my favorite sweets is Pishwari ($2.00), a freshly made piece of nan bread sprinkled
with finely ground pistachios, raisins, drizzled with a hint of rosewater syrup. Served with a steaming
cup of Chai, this makes a perfect afternoon pick-me-up. India Chaat House can get extremely popular
during lunch hours and food is prepared fresh so it may take a big longer to get your food than at some
of the other carts. Even on the weekends one might see large Indian families chowing down (a good
sign indeed), or groups of young twenty somethings arriving en masse on bicycles to take up all the
table space. However, the wait is worth it. Hours: Mon-Fri 11-7, Sat 11-4, Closed

This might have been the first cart I ate at after moving to Portland a few years ago and still one of
my favorites. Its alot of food, I might say too much food, but Indian re-heats well! There is no
meat options. I love them.

Sad to say, and hopefully it's some sort of one-off issue, but I just had the worst "Indian" "food"
I've ever had anywhere, at India Chaat House. Things seem to have gone downhill fast since the
opening of the neighboring Bombay Chaat House. It used to range from mediocre (the lunch
special) to excellent (the flavorful and immense aloo kulcha for $2). The aloo kulcha I ordered
today was less than 1/2 the size that it usually is, had almost no filling, and when it did, seemingly
had only potatoes--no spices at all, tasted like nothing but black pepper, and the naan part tasted
like a hot dog bun. They were out of the spinach that I phoned in to order; the aloo gobi I ordered
instead also tasted like almost nothing--certainly no normal Indian spices, and actually was a sour
in an odd way that prevented me from eating it. There were seemingly two pieces of cauliflower
(gobi), and these were especially sour. A big waste of $8, and may have jeopardised my health.
Anyone tried Bombay Chaat House next door? Apparently opened (acrimoniously) by the ex-wife
of the owner of India Chaat, who has been conspicuously absent lately. I've been loyal to India
Chaat, but I think I may have to try the new place instead.

Ian, funny you should mention it but I finally ate at Bombay Chaat today. I haven't been to India
Chaat in several months, so I won't comment on it, but the food at Bombay Chaat was WOW!
Really good. In addition, look for a write up tomorrow night or Wednesday.

Went to India Chaat House yesterday for the first time in many months. It wasn't nearly as good
as it used to be, there was no naan, and the person in the window was someone I'd never seen
before. I'll be trying out the Bombay Chaat House soon. If it's being run by one of the prior ICH
folks, it should be good.

Okay so after all these comments about how Bombay Chaat House is the true heir to ICH etc etc
we decided to try it to out yesterday. I must open by saying it was the most HORRIBLE food
we've ever eaten. We were fairly frequent visitors of the erstwhile ICH and if anyone says the
"food" that BCH purports to cook is anywhere close to ICH, I'd love to smoke what they're on. We
are Indian by origin and loved the old ICH (was about as authentic as Portland has to offer).
Okay so for the details. We picked up 4 items from BCH and brought them home - bhel, papdi
chaat, aloo paratha and aloo-matar. The bhel was completely tasteless (akin to eating small pieces
of white cardboard). We struggled and finished the bhel and turned to the papdi chaat hoping for
some respite. Apparently BCH believes that papdi chaat does not need to include papdi (the small
fried flour discs that give it the taste). Even so we tried the first spoonful and promptly spat it out -
the item was well past its expiration date - I suspect the yogurt in the chaat had gone bad. I cant
believe the ride home (about 15 mins) could have caused this so the dish as served was bad. The
aloo paratha, though nothing to write home about, was atleast edible. The aloo matar dish (potato
and peas curry in a tomato sauce) was terrible (flavorless and weird tasting) and was placed on a
bed of half cooked rice - I swear you could almost hear the crunch of the rice as we tried to eat it.
We made a valiant effort but ended up tossing that out as well. So in summation we had 1 okay,
2 terrible and 1 inedible dish - what a telling strike rate!! Needless to say we wont ever be going to
BCH again and to the readers here - caveat emptor!!

Went to India Chaat House the other evening, had to wait a very very long time to get the food.
When it came it was completely underwhelming, much smaller portion than I've seen pictured in
in reviews. The guy was almost out of papadams so he gave me a plate with a few slivers of
broken papadams on it. Food was bland, overcooked and in small portions. Next time I'll try
Bombay Chaat house or one of the other Indian options in town. Can't see coming back to ICH.

I've been working on this website for a month or so now and even though it is only about 75%
complete and still needs to be edited a bit, I'm publishing it anyway. You can find more information
about this site here. Look for more food cart
information in the next couple of weeks, especially ones one the east side of the river, the Pearl
District/NW Portland, and near PSU. I will also be adding more reviews, photos, and map features as
soon as I can get to them. It is unreal how many new food carts keep popping up every week in
Portland. And I have to say, I'm smitten with quite a few of them. If you have any tips, suggestions, or
updated information, by all means please let me know. Thanks for Reading, Cuisine Bonne Femme.

Thanks! I'll admit, this project turned out to be a lot bigger than I originally thought. Not a bad
thing, that just means we are getting more food carts in Portland, and I'm all for it. Still, consider
this the beta-test version. I will be doing a lot of tweaking in the next couple of weeks and getting
around finishing listings for a lot of carts (especially ones on the eastside). So stay tuned. As
always, any tips or finds you might have are more than welcome...

Tip o' the hat to mmm-
yoso!! See, sometimes it takes a set of new eyes to make us see things in a new light, to
not take things for granted, and to realize that sometimes some of the most wonderful things are the
ones right under our very own noses. Thus is the case with Food Carts in Portland. "You mean, they
don't have food carts in other cities?" a bewildered local friend asked an awe struck visiting guest.
"Carts are outlawed in my town," another friend sighed. What? No way! Man, Portland is lucky. Yet it
didn't take these comments for me to realize several months ago that Portland, like many other great
amenities in our city, has a special thing going on with our food carts (or call it food cart culture) if you
will. All the comments on this site this week from other Portland food cart aficionados only confirm it.
For really it was an avid food blogger from San Diego last year; mmm-yoso!!! that made me wake
up and smell the $5.00 Pad-Kee-Mao noodles in my own back yard (or at the corner of SW 3rd and
Alder to be precise). Yoso nailed it. So thank you for visiting Portland, for your inspiration, and for
your excellent documentation of our unique food cart culture. If you are ever back in Portland drop me
a line and I'll buy you lunch (at a food cart of your choice of course).
___________________________________________________________ As for
news: Several readers have written in with some excellent tips and suggestions, so look for
some new listings, a couple of new reviews, and a few updates within the next week. Also, just
because the weather has taken a turn into the gray and rainy season I know we all just love, don't think
cart dining is off limits until next summer. Many of the carts have covered dining areas. I will be
adding a new category soon that lists these. Finally, I am also considering a round-up of carts at
various local farmers markets. However, this is a little problematic since many will close down soon
until the markets reopen again in the spring. . What do y'all think? Anyway, and as always, any other
ideas, suggestions or tips you have are greatly appreciated as well. Till next time, Cuisine Bonne
Femme

much personality(in addition to full bellies) to the city. It is one reason I'll keep coming back to

I really recommend you check out The Whole Bowl. I started eating at their location in the Pearl,
jeez, almost 6 years ago, but since moving jobs I have been eating at the downtown location. Just
great, simple, vege food. I guess they also have a Hawthorne spot but I haven't seen that. But I
did see their bright red "mobowl" truck on the waterfront once.

I'd like to recommend Thai Basil at SW Oak & 2nd, and Thai Sky amongst the cluster on 5th
between Oak and Stark. These two capture very different aspects of what I love about Thai food,
but both are excellent. Thai Basil specializes in very simple, relatively light-tasting, crisp dishes--
creative things like a fantastic asparagus stirfry or pumpkin curry--which are simply the freshest
and "cleanest" I've found in town (including at any restaurant). The portions are generous but not
overwhelming (two normal meals from one dish instead of two heavy ones like most carts), and all
orders include a free drink (sodas, home-made Thai sweet tea), and usually two free small salad
rolls--all for $5. They have the option of noodles or aromatic rice with every dish, and all dishes
are made to order--so it's not the fastest cart in town, but it's worth the wait. The proprietors are
probably the two sweetest people I've met in this town, smiling beatifically, always brightening
my day doubly than the food alone. Thai Sky, conversely, specializes in incredibly rich,
definitely-not-health-food dishes swimming in robust sauces or coconut curries, but still with great
ingredients. I don't know what they do to their tofu--it's marinated beyond marinated--but their
hearty food is sometimes exactly what I want on a chilly winter day. They serve one dish for
$4.75 (and lots of it, of course) or you can choose two dishes for $5.75, and this will feed a very
hungry two. Most dishes are made in quantity and so they are very fast--but most are made in
such a way that the extra time marinating isn't a negative. They also do pretty creative things
sometimes, like a tom-yum flavored green-bean stirfry, or inventive mango-based curries. The
owners are very friendly, especially when it's not the rush--and they do get mobbed.

I'll second Ian's recommendation of Thai Basil. The pumpkin curry is delicious. I've also had
papaya curry there, and it's absolutely fresh and hot, made on the spot. Really good Thai food.

Thai Basil, I'm finding out, has a huge fan base. I'll need to check it out this week. As for a single
map, well, I am working on it. In the meantime, check out Aubrey's awesome maps of the food
carts downtown. You can see it here: http://www.speakeasy.org/~aeschright/maps/

When will there be food carts in Ankeny Plaza near the Skidmore Fountain? That area is in the
midst of transforming with Mercy Corps and U of O moving in....it would be a great activator and
a needed amenity if some food carts moved in for lunch times. Anyone have contacts of people
looking for a location?

I have heard a rumor that Mercy Corps NW is planning or at least thinking about starting an
immigrant run food cart area that will of course feature all kinds of ethnic cuisines. Sounds like it
could make for an interesting article and I will investigate further.

I would have to second Ian on the Thai Sky recommendation. Their curries are excellent and the
people are very friendly. This place is usually very busy.

Any idea of favored spots for food carts? I know there are those downtown and some popping up
in N. Portland. Just wanting to know what other parts of town would like to see more food carts
pop up. We are looking to place one.

Well, I'd say that's a tough question to answer. My inclination is to look at what you are serving,
your general concept, and the hours you want to keep. Somewhere with lots of pedestrian traffic
is a no-brainer for the lunch crowd, so downtown good. Portland is woefully lacking in late-night
carts serving those who may need some grease to soak up alcohol (bars=drunk people= want food
badly), so if this is your thing then setting up near a popular bar or two is a good idea Under
served areas that don't have many cheap dining options but a built-in population such as the Pearl
district, South Waterfront, or near the PSU campus. Carts at the farmers markets seem to do well
(but of course only when the markets are open). Anyway, hope this is useful. Good luck and let us
know when you open!

Cindy--I think an Ethiopian or West African cart would be a great addition downtown--obviously
we have good Ethiopian restaurants, but nothing on the west side. Or, if you know any African
Hebrew Israelites, I think you need to team up to open a vegan soul food cart--such food could do
very well here, I've tried to convince my few AHI acquaintances. Perhaps a cart that serves
handroll-style-only (for on the go dining) sushi and miso soups, maybe Japanese Curries. . . Not
that they almost ever qualified as "good food," but part of me still misses the chip stands of
Oxford, where you could get a big tray of chips with baked beans and salad and barbecue sauce
for £1.25 (ok, lost all my credibility on that one, didn't I?). Miss the similar "jacket potatoes" they
offered, too? And for purely selfish reasons, I think you could do worse than to join forces with
India Chaat House and the newish Mexican cart next door to expand the 12th & Yamhill cart
node. . .

Thanks for the reply regarding ideas of where to place the next food cart and also some great ideas
of what could be offered. I think the late night idea is spot on because in Hong Kong, my parents
would always take us kids to the Hawkers market on some late weekend nights to have some
roasted duck wonton noodle soup or some so yummy street foods. I miss that so much. Food just
tasted so good at that hour. We called it "siu yah." Lots of people want something more than ya
know, the "franchised fast food." I've been to Tokyo and they have fantastic late night joints to go
to -- like to have some yummy curry potato croquettes or what not. They were not necessarily
street carts, but street type foods that were good. Ian, thanks for your thoughts too. I didn't quite
understand the "purely selfish reasons..." Do you mean I shouldn't go that route? I'm a little brain
dead today! Sorry! So, thank you to y'all for feedback. I welcome some more. BTW, I love this
sight. Good job!!!!!

Cindy, I think Ian meant "for purely selfish reasons" that he, personally really really wants to eat
this kind of food. Honestly, I think a late night Asian dumpling/noodle soup place might work in
Portland. But you would have to have a place that is near a lot of people. I do think an Asian
dumpling/noodle cart downtown at lunch time would work really well. There is a place in Lloyd
mall that sells horrible (well mediocre) dumplings for a dollar per piece and they do a good
business. Imagine a cart that sells the good stuff. Wow. Just make different pot sticker type
dumplings and some dim sum type stuff like Humbao, Shiu Mai, shrimp dumplings, vegetarian
dumplings (for inspiration I'm thinking of these little joints in San Francisco along Clement
Street), and maybe sell some rice, a couple of noodle soups, and maybe some stir fried greens to
make a complete meal. Seriously. Offer some different dipping sauces, and you have yourself a
cart.

Hi admin. Thank you for the great suggestion! I know a place in NY that does exclusively
handmande dumplings. A little joint and does nothing but. Handmade dumplings are pretty labor
intensive but they are so good and yummy. Worth the work. The challenge right now is to find
the right spot and when I do please come visit me and lunch is on me. BTW, I've tried the mall
stuff...yeh, enough said. The best thing about the food carts is that they all have heart and soul in
their food. (Unlike the franchises). And again, I totally love your website. Hope to be part of your
feature soon. I'll keep you informed!!!!

Do you know about the cart at 44th & Hawthorne? It is on a front lawn and you can sit on a
deck there and watch the world go by. Now there are 2 restaurants there. In the morning there is
Katie with "Swine & Grind"; a breakfast buiscuit place much better than normal. She makes
her own pork sausage and peppers some excellent bacon for the generous sandwiches. She is open
until 2pm and then Dan comes on with his creole New Orleans food at the "Po'House". Gumbo,
Po'Boys, Etouffee, etc. He was a chef in high-end restaurants for 10 years or so and the quality
shows. This location must be good since it was where Zach started "Zach's Shack" and where
"the Whole Bowl" was located until it moved into a permanent location. Try these places. I bet
you'll like them. The quality is great.

Most cities have food carts, many cities have more than Portland. Ours our good, very good, but
a little too proud. How about a little humility. I don't think this exchange ever happened. ―You
mean, they don‘t have food carts in other cities?‖ a bewildered local friend asked an awe struck
visiting guest. ―Carts are outlawed in my town,‖ another friend sighed. I hope everyone out there
keeps supporting this type of thing but realizes we are a small city already becoming a joke due to
youthful self-satisfaction. Keep Portland Smug.

Location: SW
5th and Oak/Stark Parking Lot Description: This was the first cart to offer Thai
food at the 5th and Oak/Stark food cart parking lot. Even though there are now many other Thai carts,
the very friendly owners Jenny and Nu still do a good business. Rather than making each order from
scratch, they offer a choice of about 8 different selections from a warming table (though you can order
soups and fried rice dishes that are made to order). This makes a visit to the cart very convenient if you
are in a hurry. Even a line of people 7-10 deep will get served quickly. The menu changes daily but is
pretty consistent for each day of the week. A special slot on Friday has something different each week.
The dishes are about half meat and half vegetarian, with at least one coconut based curry. The choices
always include Pad Thai, usually in both chicken and tofu varieties. The food is very good and
authentic. Some may say that there are other carts that make you wait as they cook your food to order
that are a little bit better, but that is no reason not to enjoy Thai Sky's offerings. Recommended dishes
are Cashew Chicken or Red Curry Chicken on Mondays, Pineapple Fried Rice that is always available
to order, and the very spicy Jungle Curry that sometimes fills the wildcard slot on Fridays.
Sample Menu: Selection of: Yellow Curry with Tofu, Green Curry Chicken,
Chicken Tom Yum Stir Fried, Tofu Stir Fried w/Chili Paste and Green Beans, Pad Khee Mao with
Tofu, Pad Thai with Chicken. 1 choice with steamed rice: $4.75 2 choices with steamed rice: $5.75
Noodles only: $5.00 Tom Yum Noodles Soup: $5.00 Veggie Salad or Egg Rolls: $1.50 Spicy,
Pineapple or Regular Fried Rice with Chicken or Tofu: $5.00 Hours: Mon-Fri

Great call on this one. This place is better than most Thai restaurants in town. While the noodle
dishes are better than average, I think the curries are where these guys really shine. I think I've
tried everything they have at least once and can find no real weaknesses. Having a party? Thai
Sky would be happy to cater it...I've asked!

I've been going here for almost 3 years. By far the best peanut curry (tuesdays) I've ever had. $5,
enormous portions, really good food, Super nice people, and yes, the line moves fast! I love this
cart! Two complaints: #1 The portion is huge and I have a hard time not eating it all. #2 They
aren't open on the weekends.

Food Carts Featured in Today's Oregonian

Today's A&E Section features a fairly large write-up (but a fairly small listing) of several food
carts in Downtown, mostly at the SW 9th and Alder and SW 5th and Oak parking lots. Lots of big
photos though. You can try searching the Oregonian's heinous website to find the article. Listings for all the usual
suspects such as Tabor, Snow White Crepe House, Aybla, Samurai, etc. They do have a nice little
profile on the no-nonsense Northwest Hot Dog located at Jamison Square Park in the Pearl District.
And yes, Northwest Hot Dog is on my list to check out. The "Platter" section by Christina Melander
also features a profile of the newish Filipino cart on N. Mississippi, a place I've been meaning to check
out for a few weeks now. The owner apparently has some swanky restaurant credentials including gigs
at Meriwether's and The Hotel Deluxe's Driftwood Room. Hey, their loss might be our gain so expect a
write-up soon. I'm out of town for the next few days, but will be hitting the carts hard next week. Have
a terrific weekend everyone.

***Highly Recommended*** Locations: Two
Locations! Corner of North Lombard and N. Brandon (In between N. Denver N. Greeley in the
Videorama parking lot) and now open on N. Mississippi and N. Fremont.
Description: The cutest little waffle stands in North Portland. Heck, the only waffle
stands in Portland. Yet these are no mere waffles. Theses are waffles elevated to a new art form.
Imagine large round "old school" waffles made fresh to order (the thin kind with the small indents, not
Belgian waffles), stuffed, spread and folded into a type of giant burrito-sandwich hybrid with all kinds
of inspired fillings both sweet or savory. Or both. The Sausage and Maple waffle is
dangerous stuff: a slight crunch from the outside of the waffle, then the slight saltiness of the sausage
patties, then the sweetness of maple syrup combined into some kind of new food of the gods. ($4.00).
A more savory choice is the Ham and Cheese with either cheddar or smoked Gouda
($4.00). The heat of the waffle makes the cheese melt perfectly into the ham while the waffle holes
soak it all up for one giant comforting breakfast or lunch sandwich that is sure to keep you satiated for
hours. Sweet waffle choices include the basic Butter and Powder Sugar
($2.00) or the Peanut Butter & Jelly ($3.50). Or try one of the more complex
and decadent things like the sugar coma inducing Black Forest with Nutella and
Blackberry Jam ($3.50) or the S'More that comes with sweet as sin Mallow Fluff
and more of that excellent Nutella ($3.50). Beverages include all your usual espresso drinks or coffee
(12 oz coffee is only 1.00!), Italian sodas, good old fashioned egg creams, and a limeade drink. They
even serve my childhood favorite Ovaltine, either solo in milk or mixed in their
signature Maltball Mocha ($3.00 for a 12 oz). The location is a bit off the beaten
track for some, the ambiance is very strip mall parking lot and there is only one uncovered picnic table
for dining which makes Flavour Spot not the easiest choice. No matter, I'd happily brave traffic down
Interstate Ave. to eat a Flavour Spot waffle sitting on the wet pavement in the pouring rain. Yes, they
are that good. Sample Menu: Please refer to the Flavour Spot Website for their whole menu.

Location: Two Locations - the SW 9th and
Alder Parking Lot and the SW 5th and Oak "cart pod" Description: Quality
Mediterranean and Greek Food including lots of vegetarian and some vegan options. The Gyros
especially, are highly recommended. Aybla is open later than most carts (5:30 PM) making it doable
for an early dinner before a movie or to grab dinner to go on your way home after work. Aybla is also
open on Saturdays from 12-4 PM, yet another rarity in the Portland food cart realm. I've heard lots of
feedback that Aybla's gyros are just about the best in town and I'm happy to report that they are quite
tasty, fresh, and the meat is tender and well portioned. Overall I'd say the gyros here are a very good
value for the money (regular gyros $4.50, giant "enough for 2 meals" super gyros are $6.00). Gyros
come in either the grilled lamb variety or with seasoned chicken served in a billowy thick and soft
Greek style pita and include tzatziki sauce, and chopped onion, tomato, and parsley. Feta cheese can be
added for $0.50. Another delicious pita sandwich is the traditional grilled skewers of ground seasoned
lamb known as kafta kebobs. Salads include a standard Greek salad ($4.00 large, $2.00 small), or
traditional Tabouli ($3.00). The Mezzas here are also quite fresh and much better than average. In the
$3.00 - 6.00 range, most of them can be ordered as sandwiches or full plates and include things such
falafel, hummous, baba ghanouj, the Greek spinach phyllo triangles known as Tyropita, and vegetarian
Dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with seasoned rice). Plates come with a delicious Syrian seasoned rice
made with rice and roasted wheat berries. Vegetarians will be quite happy with Aybla's variety, and
many dishes can be made vegan by simply requesting them without feta or tzatziki sauce. I also adore
the owner and cook Saied Samaiel. Born in Syria, Saied learned to cook professionally on the Greek
Island of Crete where he lived and worked for over a decade. This experience, coupled with his
professionalism in the kitchen and friendliness with his customers (not to mention his killer food) are
outstanding features that keep me returning to Aybla time and time again. Sample

They also have a new cart on SW 2nd near Stark or Oak. (Or did the one above move?) And yeah,
I recommend the gyros as well. I don't have a lot of gyro experience to judge by, but theirs are
surprisingly tasty. I've had both lamb and chicken, but I prefer the lamb. Haven't tried their other
Mediterranean fare.

Also, just noticed a typo: it's "Aybla". And they have a Web site of sorts.

I just finished one of Aybla's superb "Super Lamb" gyros a couple minutes ago. I don't often eat
gyros anymore, I don't like the lamb-based filling usually, but this cart is an exception. As is
typical with excellent homestyle ethnic cooking, the difference here is largely with the ingredients.
Not just the meat - they make great falafel, too - but the very high quality feta, superb pitas, all the
details are right. They buy local and organic "when possible" and it shows. Even the baklava is
fantastic, most commercial baklava is too sticky sweet for me, dripping with syrup, but theirs has
great pastry, tons of flavor and no dripping goo. I have never gotten a bad meal from this cart and
recommend it very highly for carnivores and vegetarians alike.

disappointed. I'm a gyro lover, has made the 'what do I want for lunch' question a no-brainer. :)

Finally made it here. Man, that was a good gyro. The lamb was served in flavorful chunks that had
been crisped nicely. The seasoning was terrific, as was the tangly, garlicky tzatziki. I would like to
get back to explore the other sandwiches.

I had lunch at Aybla for the first time this afternoon. I eat lunch at the SW 9th and Alder carts
about 2-3 days each week, and I've puzzled over the long lines at Aybla while I wait for my food
at Samurai or Julia's. I don't expect much from gyros. But the super lamb gyro I ate today was
delicious, full of bright, clean flavors, and golden caramelized lamb. And despite its large size and
overly generous filling, it was wrapped up so expertly that I managed to eat the entire thing while I
walked back to work without spilling a single morsel. What else is good at Aybla?

I have eaten at the Aybla cart in the South Waterfront area on SW Gibbs and it is SUPERB! We
all agree that this and the Rip City burger place are some of the best food in the city hands down.
We have a few restaurants to choose from, but we still prefer their food and service!

I finally found a spot to park after getting yelled at & my truck being kicked by a lady who
apparently thought she had the right of way, none the less it was all worth it, never had lamb
before, the only thing I could even compare it to is a well marinated tri-tip Central Cali style, I
guess its rich I don't know what you would call it besides delicious, the lamb gyro came so quickly
and it was so hot I kept it in my pocket to warm me, the two ladies working were friendly and
smart, I might have to park farther away and just skateboad in because I will be going back for
sure!

Tyropita." They are actually called Spanokopita. Tyropita is the cheese filled phyllo triangles.

http://foodcartsportland.com/?p=66
***Recommended*** Location: SE 13th
and Lexington, in the heart of Sellwood's "antique row." (Located in the 7900 address range, kitty
corner to the Sellwood Library, and a few blocks north of Tacoma Street)
Description: "Italian Street Food from the Willamette Valley." This shiny
new wagon is Portland's only cart offering Sicilian street snacks. They also sell soups, grilled
chicken, salads and one sandwich offering - grilled peppers and sausage on a ciabatta roll. Garden
State uses organic and local ingredients as much as possible with most of their produce and all of their
chicken coming from Gaining Ground Farm
located in Yamhill, Oregon.
As for the Sicilian part, the Arancine here are the best I've had in Portland. An order
($4.00 or $6.00 with a side salad) includes four tender larger than golf-ball sized balls of tender risotto
rice liberally seasoned with saffron and stuffed with your choice of either cheese or a meat based
marinara sauce. Dusted with super fine bread crumbs, you order and wait while they are fried in front
of you to dark golden perfection in fresh tasting oil, and they come out crispy and still warm without
being the least bit greasy. Pure comfort food. The creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside
Sicilian fried potato fritters known as Cazilli (also $4.00), are just as good . Both are
served with lemon wedges and a light tomato sauce on the side. This is the epitomy of good cart food;
simple, fresh, quick, reasonably priced, and highly addictive. Garden State has only been open for less
than a month, and they warned me that they are still tweaking with their menu to figure out what works
and what doesn't, and that it will change frequently depending on the seasons. In the meantime I can
highly recommend their textbook Pollo alla Diavola (aka Devil's Chicken), a
traditional Tuscan spicy grilled chicken that is rubbed with crushed black peppercorns and dried red
spicy peppers, and cooked under a weight making it slightly charred on the outside but remaining juicy
and succulent within. Served with grilled bread and a large salad it is meant for two diners although
one person with a very giant appetite could probably cope. ($12.00). I didn't try the grilled pepper and
sausage sandwich ($6.00), but I did take a peek at somebody else's, and trust me I will be back soon to
try it. There are a couple of things you need to know
about Garden State. There is no seating (yet), so you'll need to plan accordingly. This could be a bit of
an issue as things like Arancine are best eaten right out of the fryer. I ended up gobbling mine down
standing right there in front of the cart, but then again it wasn't raining. In addition, Garden State is
located in an emerging "food cart court" parking lot (kitty corner to the Sellwood Library) and there is
some construction going on around it as the owner puts in a seating area and patio, and as other carts
settle in (there is a taco truck and Asian type cart opening soon as well) making it a little chaotic.
Regardless and despite these issues, those Arancine are pure poetry and although this isn't your typical
cheapie Portland street food, the quality of ingredients and careful approach to cooking make Garden
State worth the money and the drive to Sellwood. This is a terrific new addition to Portland's food cart
scene and I'm certain it will soon be a popular favorite. Sample Menu: Arancine (option of cheese or meat ragu) - $4.00 (or $6.00 with a
salad). Cazilli - $4.00 (or $6.00 with a salad). Grilled Sausage and Peppers on a Cibatta roll - $6.00
1/2 chicken grilled devil's style with salad and grilled bread (for 2) - $12.00 Soup of the day - $5.00
with bread Salad Specials (rotate) - $4.00 - $6.00 range (approximately) Soft Drinks, Coffee, Juices,
etc.... - vary in price Hours: Lunch 7 days a week: 11:30 to 3:30. Phone:

I can also attest to the quality of the Arancine. I found them light and crisp, with a wonderful
saffron flavor and no greasiness at all. Basically just the way you always hope they'll be made, but
rarely are. Quite frankly the Arancine at Garden State are better than most of the versions I've had
at well-known restaurants in town. The light dipping sauce with fresh herbal flavors that
accompanied it might be better suited to the summer than fall, but that's being nitpicky. And for $4
it's a no-brainer. If I lived in Sellwood I would take an order home for dinner on a regular basis.
The Cazilli didn't impress me quite as much, but they were certainly fine for what they were. No
complaints. And the chicken was surprisingly well prepared given the fact that the man works out
of a cart smaller than my bathroom. At $12 the chicken is a bit pricey for cart food. But it was
probably enough for two people, and again I've had chicken at a number of well-known
restaurants around town that was not as good. Once they get their seating set up, this will be a
great place to stop for an inexpensive, tasty lunch or early dinner. In the meantime, a number of
coffee houses on the street (such as the Ugly Mug) are cool with bringing the food into their place.
This is a solid addition to the Portland food cart scene, and a nice add for the Sellwood area as
well.

I tried Garden State last week, and it was wonderful. I split an order of cheese arancine and a
meatball sub ($5, new addition to the menu?) with a friend, which was quite a lot of food for 9
bucks. Excellent comfort food for cold rainy days, and worth traveling across town for!

Just tried Garden State for the first time. WOW!! I had the chickpea sandwich with grilled
butternut squash. The greens were a great variety and very fresh. A wonderful sauce
compleminted the grilled squash and perfectly fried chickpea patty. Plus it had shredded carrot
and radish. "Delicious" doesn't even touch this one! I am left here thinking of when I am going
back and hoping to get it again. Might make it hard for me to try anything else.

On a trip to visit my friend who had just moved to Sellwood from California she took me across
the street from her condo on a drizzly day for Kevin's food. It was absolutely delicious, beautifully
served and reasonably priced. I can't wait for my next trip to Portland and Kevin's will be the first
place I'll go for food.

Yes, I second those fantastic chickpea sandwiches. Though I'll warn you: I fear they may be
addictive! When they very first opened the cart in Sellwood last year he didn't have much to offer
for vegetarians, but with the large, impossibly-fresh salad and best of all those chickpea
sandwiches, for me it has quickly become a favored stop along SE 13th Avenue. You're a great
addition to the neighborhood, Kevin!

Finally made it to Garden State - and kind of chickened out and order the standard meatball sub
instead of some of the other items on the menu. I wasn't disappointed though. I had that sucker at 1
pm today and at almost 9 pm I'm still pretty full. Next time I'm trying the Porchetta.

CLOSED CARTS
http://foodcartsportland.com/?p=67
UPDATE JANUARY 9, 2009 - CLOSED FOR BUSINESS. Location: SW Alder and
9th Parking Lot Description: Yet another fine addition to the Alder Street "cart
pod." The lovely and bewitching Julia herself makes rib-sticking Russian comfort food. These are well
known hits such as a hearty and perfectly balanced sweet and sour borscht served with rye bread
($4.00 for 16 ounces), a generous platter of stuffed cabbage with piroshki and salad ($6.00), and
different kinds of meat or vegetable Russian style piroshkis made with a dense golden crust and stuffed
with things like meat, mushrooms, or potatoes ($1.00 per piece). Julia doesn't seem to skimp on the
quality or freshness of her food, and a whiff through her cart window while you watch her stir various
pots and pans of things in her tiny kitchen is just hypnotizing. The borscht for example billows enough
aromatic steam to recover appetites from any bad flu or cold, and contains more than a generous
portion of meat and veggies (a vegetarian version is also available), while sprinkles of fresh chopped
dill are added last along with a little dollop of sour cream. She isn't skimpy on the portions either and a
soup and an entree can easily feed two hungry people for around $12.00. Other items include an addictive bowl of meat
filled boiled dumplings called pelmeni served with sour cream ($6.00), A tender Russian meatloaf with
rice and salad ($6.00), and a wonderfully spicy carrot salad ($4.00). Meat, vegetarian, ($2.00 per
piece) or dessert blinis with sweet cream cheese, cherries or apples ($4.00) round out the offerings.
Julia is herself originally from a small town in Kazakhstan and smiled demurely when asked how she
ended up in Portland ten years ago. "It's a long story," she sighed. Knowing about these things myself I
asked, "It was for a man wasn't it?" She answered, "Da, it was for love." Well, Miss Julia, we are sure
happy to have you here in Portland cooking your outstanding food, no matter what it took to get you
here. Sample Menu: Russian Meat Sandwich
with Cheese, Fried Onion, and Potato Salad - $6.00 Lagman (A noodle stew) with Chicken and
Vegetables - $5.00 Stuffed Cabbage with Piroshki and Salad - $6.00 Russian Blini with Meat or
Vegetarian Style - $2.00 Piroshki (meat or vegetable) - $1.00 per piece Spicy Carrot Salad - $2.00
Russian Beet Salad - $2.50 Russian Potato Salad - $2.50 Soft Drinks or Water - $1.00

***Highly Recommended*** Location: SW 9th and
Alder Parking Lot Description: Japanese food about as authentic as you might
encounter in the countless food stalls found all over Japan. If all you know about Japanese food is
teriyaki and sushi, get ready for a whole new world here. Japanese street food
is some of the best and most comforting of any street food I've encountered, and Samurai does not
disappoint. Sure they have teriyaki and it is some of the best in Portland by the way (perfectly
seasoned and tender), but they also serve things like katsu don (fried and breaded pork or chicken
cutlet with a curry or lightly scrambled egg served over rice), thick and aromatic yakitori stirfried
noodles (chicken, beef, or tofu), Japanese style wafuu curry, and some occassional specialties
such as sweet soy sauce glazed "bbq" unagi eel and seasoned karaage fried chicken. What makes Samurai really stand out from the crowd though
is the way they prepare their food. It's a family run operation and they really care about the quality,
preparing each order as it comes in, and adding little extras such as a side of veggies and pickled
ginger. This is Japananese home cooking at its best and the portions are big. They will also offer you a
free cup of hot tea while you are waiting (and it doesn't hurt that the young tatooed Japanese server is
extra friendly and quite good looking). I could eat there every day (sigh). There are plenty of
vegetarian options and Samurai is also open until 4PM or so, making a late lunch or hearty afternoon
snack a real possibility. Sample Menu: (note - most items, outside of the noodle
dishes, come with a good amount of rice and a side of veggies) Yakisoba Noodles
(beef, chicken, or tofu) - $5.00 Yakitori chicken - $5.00 Ginger chicken or pork - $6.00 Karaage
(seasoned and deep fried chicken) - $6.00 Tofu Steak (mild or spicy) - $5.00 Katsu (bread and fried
chicken or pork cutlet) - $6.00 Katsu Don (breaded and fried chicken or pork cutlet on rice with egg
and onion mixture on top - one of my favorites!) - $6.00 Curry Katsu (same as above with mild wafuu
curry sauce) - $6.00 Curry (Wafuu Curry, with choice of pork, katsu, croquette, or fried shrimp) -
$6.00 to $7.00 Oyako Don (chicken, onion, soft scrambled egg, and sauce on rice - my personal
favorite!) or Tanin-Don (pork) - $5.00 BBQ Eel on rice - $10.00 Tempura or Veggie Tempura -
$6.00 Miso Soup - $2.00 Hours: Mon-Fri 11-4pm (give or take) Phone:

Ate at Samurai for the first time, and I'm very impressed! I had the pork (tanin?) donburi. The first
thing I noticed was how good the rice was -- just the right texture, and nice and sticky (for easy
chopstick use). The rest of the dish was also nice -- the sauce was subtle, but not wimpy, and the
meat of higher-than-normal-cart quality. The only sad thing was that this cart is too far away from
my office to allow me to get back to my desk with a hot serving. I'll have to eat near the cart next
time. And the free cup of green tea was especially welcome on a cold January day like today.

My sister got one of her favorite meals in pdx there - a really spicy, but delicious (according to
her) teriyaki chicken. I am curious about their tofu options, but haven't inquired as to the actual
vegan-ness. Any idea?

Their sauce is very distinctive, it has a lot of mellow ginger taste. This makes the Yakisoba much
much better than any other I've tried. Agidashi tofu and short ribs are also best in city. I wasn't
impressed with teriyaki chicken (salt style) and tofu steak. bottom line - great Japanese food at an
awesome value

Most Japanese sauces contain a soy sauce base. However they generally also contain dashi which
is a sauce made from kelp seaweed, soy, and dried bonito tuna flakes. I would ask them if they
have dashi in their sauce, or alternately ask if the sauce has bonito or dried fish stock in it. They
should understand what you mean. Keep us posted on the vegan options

I had a pork katsu the other day, and was not impressed at all. The food was so bland and the pork
was very tough and rubbery. I was very disappointed with what people raved about this cart. I
thought it was kind of unfair based on my single judgement, so I took my friend with me just to
give them another chance and second opinion. We ended up choosing the same dish - chicken
teriyaki which was very salty and the vegetables were just filled with soy sauce and it was
tasteless. We were not satisfied at all. Won't go there again!

This place, as most who care already know, is real Japanese food, and it's even made by real
Japanese people. It isn't five-star dining, but it's not trying to be, either. They make take-out lunch
and hit it dead on. For first-timers who want to try authentic things people eat in Japan on an
everyday basis but which are essentially unknown to average Americans, try Oyako-don or
Hambagu (not hamburger). The tonkatsu is good as well. I really wish they had a few dishes with
Kim Chi in them, but everyone clamors and stamps their feet that it's Korean, as if most of Japan
doesn't eat it- too bad for us all. That's a small complaint to file, though. Samurai bento kicks butt.
Thanks Daigo san!

New Food Carts Asian Station, a pan-Asian cart on SW
10th and Alder is now open for business. I haven't seen their actual menu yet, but it looks like they are
serving things like noodles, the tasty Malaysian flat bread known as Roti, dumplings and the like. If
you've tried them, drop me a line and let me know your thoughts. A Belgian Frites
stand is also opening soon on the corner of SE 12th and Hawthorne. Who doesn't like good french
fries? We'll keep you posted... Indoor Eating Options Just because the
weather outside is frightful, don't forget about eating at the carts. Rather than sitting and eating your
lunch in the rain there are several indoor areas with public seating available near a few of the "cart
pods". Our favorites? An alert reader turned us onto the Galleria on SW
10th and Washington, home to the Western Culinary Institute. Apparently they have several tables and
chairs scattered about and a few people we know take their cart food there to chow down.
The U.S. Bank Tower (aka Big Pink) on SW 5th and Alder has a decent amount
of open seating (tables and chairs) upstairs on the "mezzanine" level of the shopping area (the area near
the Starbucks and gift shop) and I have eaten plenty of lunches up there myself gazing down at the
swarming office workers on the floor below. The carts near Portland State
University on both the PSU campus itself (on the park blocks) and at the "cart pod" on SW
4th and Jefferson are close to several quasi-public spaces. Smith Center at 1825 SW Broadway has terrific
seating on almost every floor and lots of tables and chairs on both the first and second floors near the
cafeteria. The newly build Meseeh Engineering Building, at
1930 SW 4th also has seating. Real Taste of India vs. New Taste of
India It's a taste-off! Well, sort of. At least with one person's taste buds anyway. Stumptown Vegan eats at both carts, writes it up in extensive detail, and drum roll
please... After plenty of taste tests I have come to the conclusion that the Real Taste of
India is the better cart for my taste buds, though many of my co-workers disagree. You
can read the whole thing here. What do Food Carts Portland Readers think? What's your favorite
Indian Cart and why? Hmm, perhaps a blind taste test challenge is in order with a panel of judges? We
could also throw a taste test of India Chaat House as well.

Can't speak from the vegan perspective (though I'm more likely to eat like a vegan at an Indian
place than elsewhere), but Real Taste of India definitely is my favorite of the two. Once a year, I'll
forget why I didn't like New TOI and try it again. But only once a year. It's not that it's horrible
(heck, even Real TOI is hit-and-miss). Just ... meh?

I had lunch at whichever one has a branch over by PSU (New Taste, I think?) a week or so ago,
and it was pretty dreadful. Veg combination, including some very bitter, undercooked eggplant. A
disappointing meal--except, for some reason, for the naan, which was more like chapati, chewy,
floury and delicious.

Warning!!! This cart
has now opened a full blown restaurant at NE 27th and Alberta. This cart is only open once in a while.
Please call them at (315) 523-3407 to confirm until I can find out what's
going on. Thanks! Location: Sw 4th Ave and College St. (near
PSU) Description: Portland now has another food cart
serving tasty and traditional Sicilian street food. Pizza, calzones, and daily specials
($5.00) like lasagna, eggplant parmesan, and pastas make up the offerings at this large purple cart on
the corner of SW 4th Ave. and College Street near PSU, while desserts such as house
made cannolis, cakes, pies, and brownies round out the offerings. The food is good. Really
good. For Stephen Ferruzza, the affable young owner, is some kind of Sicilian food savant.
Originally from upstate NY, he comes equipped with some pretty impressive credentials including
stints working as a chef at the Lake Placid Lodge, and a Sicilian father who taught him his trade.
Stephen's biggest love however, is baking. And it shows. Pizza aficionados
usually agree that one of the most important parts of the pizza is the crust, and Ferruzza
makes a crust to rival that of the best in Portland. Equipped with a real pizza oven that gets
up to 700 degrees F, a true slow risen dough, and a touch that only a passionate and true baker can
have, his crust is a perfect balance between crusty and soft, thin in the right spots and thick around the
fat edges, and has little air bubbles and the occasional spot of char on the bottom indicating it was
made in the traditional and proper manner. It's pretty darn close to a slice of heaven if you ask me.
Toppings are basic and include the classic pizza margherita, pizza carne (choice of pepperoni or hard
salumi), or a pizza verdura that features seasonal veggies. Pizzas come in three sizes - a large slice is
$3.00, a nine- inch or so round "personal pizza" is $6.00, and a whole pie goes for $14.00, no matter
the toppings. Stephen doesn't skimp on quality either, using well regarded San Marzano tomatoes for his vibrant
sauce and quality mozzarella, fresh basil and different seasonal vegetables for his toppings. The calzones are large and well worth the
$5.00 and come as a choice of Classico (ricotta, mozzarella, and basil),Verdura (seasonal vegetables),
or Carne (with pepperoni or salumi). In addition, Stephen, with his love and knowledge of baking, also
makes his own bread, "soft and Sicilian style, not that hard crunchy kind found everywhere else in
Portland," he says. Bread comes as a side for the daily specials, or a whole loaf can be purchased for
$3.00. I'm always amazed when I find cart food like this tucked away in the corners and parking lots
of Portland, especially when it is of this high caliber and made by someone who truly cares about his
craft. Highly recommended! Sample Menu: Pizzas - $3.00, $6.00 or $14.00 -
Margherita (tomatoes, basil, mozzarella), carne (mozzarella, basil, peperoni or salumi), or verdura
(seasonal vegetables). Calzones - $5.00- with a side of tomato sauce - classico (ricotta, mozzarella,
basil), verdura (seasonal vegetables), carne (mozzarella and choice of pepperoni or salumi) Specials -
$5.00 - with fresh baked Sicilian bread - rotating daily specials with things like lasagna, eggplant
parmesan, pastas, etc. Fresh baked bread - $3.00 Rotating desserts - $3.00 - cannoli, cakes, pies,
brownies, etc Hours: (call for hours) Phone: (315) 523-3407

I had a "slice" of pepperoni here last week, which is really just 1/2 of the personal sized pizza. It
was pretty good - I did like the crust. The sauce was pure tomatoes, simple, straightforward and
delicious. I wish I was downtown during lunch as I'd try out the daily special for sure.

I dunno if I was incredibly hungry or if eating a hot bubbling pizza while sitting outside in the cold
contributed to it, but I am in love with al Forno Ferruzza's pizza! I've been dreaming about it all
week (and I am very, very picky about my pizza). I rate it as good as Ken's or Apizza Scholls.
Seriously.

Ferruzza Pizza We were on vacaton over the Christmas holidays and drove back from the coast
over the worst icy roads I ever been on, cars off all over the road. Somehow we happened on The
Ferruzza pizza cart and the owner made us a fresh basil and olive pizza. Right out of the oven, we
ate the whole thing, I thought I was in the countryside of Italy, so delicious and authentic.
Fantastico!!!

I really wish some of the better carts would stay open on Saturdays. There are a sparse few, and a
few more when the weather is better, but it's quite limited. I have classes up at PSU on weekends
and while Superdog is great, some variety in the form of carts would be much welcomed. Thanks
for the review - can't wait to try it someday.

Finally made it over--and I've been daydreaming of going back, since. They made us up a whole
vegan pie with a sun-dried tomato (cheeseless) pesto, fresh basil, fresh rosemary, fantastic
kalamata and thick green olives, tomatoes and pine nuts. There may have been some onions, too.
All of that was great, but the crust was definitely the best I've had in Portland, the real knockout.
My non-vegan girlfriend said she preferred their pizza sans cheese, as (surprisingly to me) she said
they use too much cheese in the American (I thought) way, rather than bits of fresh Mozzarella
like she expected. Anyway--vegan or not, I'd recommend trying one that way as a lighter but
nevertheless rich variation. I can't wait to go back through the summer, with all the veggies they'll
have access to on that amazing crust. Very friendly folks, too, and modest.

Okay, I have been there 2x now. I was so excited to finally eat what I have heard so much about.
Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was bored. Everthing seemed flat. My first meal was
the calzone. Dough was nice, sauce and ricotta fill boring and bland. Also, sauce was served very
cold. Not fun to dip your nice hot calzone into cold sauce. Next try, Margarita Pizza. Very thin
crust, light sauce and light on the cheese. Mabye I just prefer a pizza with more gusto. By the
way prices are WAY UP. Everything was $7.00 and large pizza was $20.00 No third trip here.

They just moved into a brick and mortar storefront at 28th and Alberta. Soft opening was last
week. Lots of space and cozy couches. No salads yet but they're coming. $3 for cheese. I am
guessing the truck is not at 4th and Hall anymore because it's usually parked across the street just
off Alberta.

The cart lives on at 4th and Hall, there must be a second truck. I'm pretty lucky -- I work just a
few blocks from the cart, and I live about 20 blocks from the new restaurant. I'm hoping their
wonderful canoles are available at the Alberta location!

Al Forno Feruza is still open on SW 4th! I went into their new storefront restaurant on NE Alberta
and got the 411. Stephen wasn't in but the nice folks who were did inform me that the Al Forno
Cart on SW 4th and Hall is still open. Hours can be a bit hit or miss, so it is best to call first. In
addition, Al Forno has another mobile cart that they take around to festivals, farmers markets and
other events which explains why you might have seen it parked around town. Al Forno is also
available to cater private parties. Thanks!

tofu. Serves rotating daily lunch specials Mon-Fri for $5.00 including things like a spicy non-coconut
milk Jungle curry (the kind of curry generally found in the north of Thailand); yellow curry fried rice;
and pad woon sen (a pad thai type noodle dish with clear bean thread noodles eggs, green onions, bean
sprouts, and ground peanuts). Sample Menu: Daily rotating specials for $5.00 (see
above) Regular menu $5.00 - choice of chicken or tofu. Non-noodle dishes come with steamed white

I expected a lot more from Boonrod than I got; the lines at this cart are fairly long. My Pad Kee
Mao was overly sweet, with very little basil or broccoli, and the portion itself was half the size of
other Thai carts I've tried. The owners are exceptionally friendly, but there are definitely better
values in the neighborhood.

Location: PSU Park Blocks next to Smith Center (SW Park and SW
Harrison) Description: Lebanese food. An oldie but a goodie on the cart scene at
PSU, food here was once petty mediocre but has improved quite a bit in the past few years. Expect
your usual falafel, sharwarma, hummus, etc. Food comes in either huge "plate" portions ($5.00 - $8.00)
or in wrapped flatbread sandwiches ($5.00). The downside of Basha's is that Gyros are nothing special,
but the bread does taste fresh. The upside to Basha's is that they have a ton of different hot sauces to
add to your heart's delight. This cart is also a little too fond of the amount of tahini they use in their
hummus and baba ganouj for my tastes, but no matter. Food here is cheap, it's filling, it's relatively
healthy and fast. What more do you want? Sample
Menu: Sandwiches - $5.00 - Chicken shawarma, kafta, falafel, gyros, hummus, baba
ganouj, feta cheese Plates - $3.00 - $8.00 -Chicken Shawarma or garlic chicken ($6.00), Kafta ($6.00),
Lamb Shank ($7.50), Gyros ($6.00) Basha Plate Special ($8.50) comes with choice of meat, hummus,
falafel, basamati rice, vegetables, bread and sauces Spinach pie ($3.50) - spinach, red onions and
spices baked in homeade dough Meza Vegetarian ($7.00) falafel, hummus, baba ganouj, stuffed grape
leaves Soups - $3.50 - Vegetarian lentil served with pita Baklava - (sorry didn't catch the price)

They also have another location on the corner of SW Pine and 6th. It's not technically a cart;it's in
a kiosk on the corner of a parking garage. It's a great alternative to the cart strip down on 5th, as
there's a bit of room inside to stay warm while waiting for your food, also a few barstools and
some counter space.

I agree with you on the tahini sauce, but I have to say that I do adore their falafel- in my opinion
the actual chickpeas or recipe that they use for their falafel is the best one I've tasted in my
(admittedly short) time as a semi-vegetarian. Although, the only other falafel I've tried in Portland
with consistency has been Pita Pit's, which is NOT very good. I DO like, however, that they serve
fruit juice there (albeit canned), which is a good change from the typical PDX Food Cart soda
selection extravaganza, which makes me want to lug around my bottle of water when I go on
lunch around here.

Bashas has the best food available at PSU, and out of the many Lebanese options in Portland
Bashas is the best hands down. I have tried many of the Lebanese restaurant in Portland area such
as Abu Rasheeds, Alexandria, Nicholas, Habibi, and Cypress but they are nothing special. Bashas'
food is fresh and healthy and my personal favorites are their hummus,falafel, and shwarma.

I have to say that I disagree. I think this Lebanese food is a step above the typical. Their falafel is
some of the best I've had. And the lentil soup that comes with fresh made pita for $3.50 - amazing.
The vegetarian mezza is delightful.

Disappointing! I had the garlic chicken (mediocre) one day so I thought I'd go back to try the
falafel that's so highly rated on this site. I can't believe I paid $6 for 3 COLD falafel balls w/some
hummus and salad. Everything tasty okay but it's for overpriced such a tiny portion size that
wasn't even warm. I can make my own cold falafel for that price, thank you!

Location: SW 4th and Hall Parking Lot
(near PSU) Description: "Special Variety Better Choice" or so says the menu at
Thai Pasta, located at the popular "PSU Cart Pod" on SW 4th. Not much pasta here, but some noodle
dishes like the ubiquitous (but tasty) pad thai, hearty Pad Kee Mao noodles (also known as drunken
noodles), and the stir fried wide rice noodles called Pad See Ew. ($5.00). Thai soups like Tom Yum,
Tom Kai, and a soothing vegetable soup are only $3.00 for a generous "small" portions, $5.00 for a
large carton that can easily feed two. Other options include curries, fried rice dishes, and several
aromatic stir fries such as the "Lovely Ginger" or a nice version of Cashew Chicken (which can also be
ordered with tofu instead). Appetizers include satay chicken skewers with peanut sauce ($1.50 each),
spring rolls ($1.00 each), salad rolls (2 for $3.00), or something called, "Oh My God" ( I have no idea
what exactly it is - something fried with cream cheese and crab and served with plum sauce). Thai iced
tea or coffee is only $1.50. Everything on the menu is $5.00 or less. Open until 5PM. Lots of
vegetarian options. Sample Menu: Coming Soon! Hours: Mon-

not sure if this is THEIR idea or Sweet Basil's or if it's a Thai-Mexican fusion creation that
everyone but me knows about, but I've seen OhMyGod on other menus
(http://www.sweetbasilor.com/). Poor name choice I think, and also, since it's basically crab
rangoon rolled in a tortilla shell, not very good according to me. my girlfriend loves it, but I think
it's too greasy and prefer my wonton based rangoons.

***Highly Recommended*** Location: SW 5th and
Oak/Stark Parking Lot Description: This small maroon colored cart is extremely
popular, and we know why. It's because everything they make is just outstanding even basics like
burritos and tacos. However, what Jarochita really specializes in are their huaraches, tamales
("wrapped in banana leaves for extra flavor" they state), and sopes. Taco truck expert Extra
MSG rates this one as an A-, and I agree. It's one of the better Mexican carts in the city. In one of
those "only in Portland" ethnic cuisine hybrids to meet market demand, they even offer a tofu burrito
in addition to meat, bean and cheese, or chile rellenos varieties. Open from 7AM to 6PM, there are
lots of breakfast options for very reasonable prices. The breakfast burritos here must weigh at least 4
pounds each, and come a choice of meats, veggies (including potatoes) and other additions such as
eggs and/or sour cream ($4.00 to $5.00). Other breakfast items include a simple (but giant) cheese and
vegetable omelet ($4.00), Breakfast Tacos with scrambled eggs and all the other usual fixings ($1.50
each), and a lip-smacking good smokey-salty Chorizo sausage and scrambled egg taco ($1.50). Jarochita also sells the creamy
and refreshing rice based and cinnamon flavored drink known as horchata ($1.00) in addition to
several kinds of American and Jarritos (Mexican sodas), and occasionally has other specials. In
addition to the outstanding food, nice servers and expanded hours make this one a perennial winner
among the mass of taco trucks found around Portland. Sample Menu:
Tacos: Meat choices include - chicken, fish, asada (steak), pastor (marinated pork),
shredded or ground beef. Tacos (comes with rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, cilantro,
onion, tomato). Crispy corn taco - $1.25, corn tortilla taco - $1.25, flour tortilla taco - $1.50.
Vegetarian taco (rice, beans, cheese, etc) - $1.50 Burritos: All are $4.oo. Meat
choices include Asada, carnitas (pork), chicken, ground beef, shredded beef, pastor (marinated pork),
chorizo (Mexican sausage), fish, shrimp, Fajita (chicken or steak grilled with peppers and onions),
Machaca (shredded beef with scrambled eggs), chile relleno, vegetarian. Beans, rice and cheese burrito
for $3.00. Beans and cheese burrito for $2.50 Combination Platos: All are $5.00.
Platos come with beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, onion, tomato and lettuce.
Comes with your choice of meat. 2 Tacos with choice of corn, flour, or crispy tortillas.
Enchilado (their spelling) Burrito Plate Burrito Supreme Plate Chile Relleno
Plate Quesadilla Plate Fajita Plate Chicken Tamale Plate
Taco Salad with choice of meat $4.50 Tortas (Mexican
sanwiches) come with mayo, beans, cheese, sour cream, onions, tomato, lettuce, avocado. Your choice
of meat $4.00 Sopes (thick homemade corn tortilla) $2.00
Huaraches (a thick corn type masa tortilla stuffed with your choice of good things
and toppings) $3.00 Hours: M-F Lunch, Open until 5 or 6PM most days, Open

Their phone number is 503-421-9838. It can be a good idea to call ahead during main lunch hours,
since a lot of other people also know they're the best Mexican cart on the block. And yes, their
best food isn't on their main laminated menu, but listed on day-glo paper below the window. Sopes
and huaraches take longer than average cart fare since they're handmade, but they're worth it.
Also, the habanero and red salsas are highly recommended. And yeah, the ladies there are very
nice.

Oh, and I forgot to mention how amazing their tamales are (two as large as the palm of my hand)
tamales stuffed with (can't remember) chicken or pork in a red sauce and served "Veracruz" style.
This means they come in a banana leaf rather than a corn husk and it imparts a different flavor.
Very moist and wonderful tamales, and at $3.00 for two, a total bargain.

There is a different "cart row" on 3rd, right around the corner. Perhaps you are thinking of that

Working downtown for the past 10 years I've had a chance to visit most of the Mexican food carts
in the area. Jarochita is by far the best burritos cart in town. Their food reminds me of the San
Diego burritos carts when I lived there in the early 90s. Their ingredients are fresh and the owner
is always so friendly. Their huge chicken burrito ($4) is my favorite by far. The white breast
chicken is grilled and spiced to perfection. The chicken tamales are really great as well. I noticed
that they cook them in banana leaves instead of corn husks. If you visit the group of carts by the
US Bank building on 5th at lunch time you will notice that the largest lines are in front of
Jarochita. It's a pain waiting but it's worth it. Lately we have been calling in our orders and going
to the front of the line. Also they are one of the few carts that are open until 6pm. This is great is
you want to bring burritos home instead of cooking dinner. I've had many evenings where I've
made my kids happy by bringing home a bag of burritos. Check it out.

I know they have recognized me when they say: "Señora, que va a llevar?" My answer is either
Tamales de Pollo or Huaraches and always with a glass of Horchata. I work right accross the
street, but live far, and I'll come to downtown on days off to eat at this great place! La Jarochita is
worth the trip!

The burrito enchilado is spelled correctly...your parenthetical statement "their spelling" implies, i
assume, that it should be enchilad-A, not ending in O....YOU are incorrect. "Enchilada/o" is an
adjective describing something that has been "chile-ed", in this case, a burrito, thus, enchilad-O.
Gringos are only used to the common food genre, "enchilada" which modifies the unstated object,
"tortilla", a feminine noun, thus the A ending. as y'all say: Just saying....

I have an article on Food Carts in today's Willamette Week. The 2008 annual
Willamette Week Cheap Eats Guide hit the stands today. I submitted several write
ups on my favorite food carts and Willamette Week chose to publish 10 of them. Although I have to
say, there are many, many more terrific ones out there so if your favorite was excluded, my apologies.
It was hard nailing down just 10. Anyway you'll know most of them from the well established India Chaat House and Aybla Grill, to newer carts like Asian Station and Al Forno Ferruzza. So take a look at the article (it has nice pictures too) and if you have
any of your favorites to add, just drop in a comment below. Thanks for reading!

considering we're talking cheaper-than-dirt street food! Makes me proud to live in Portland.

***Recommended*** Location: Several Locations - SW 9th and
Alder, 4409 SE Hawthorne, 1100 NW Glisan, and the Mo-Bowl (mobile) van.
Description: Sometimes simple things are the best things. Although I love food cart
food as much as anyone else, let's be honest, cart food can sometimes be a little bit on the heavy and
greasy side. Sometimes all I want for lunch is something lighter and the Whole Bowl is my answer.
The Whole Bowl's menu is genius - a paper bowl filled with tender brown rice and perfectly cooked
red and black beans, topped with fresh sliced avocado, tangy red salsa, sliced mild black olives, a
dollop of sour cream, grated cheddar and cilantro. The beans and rice are mixed together with their
signature "Tali Sauce" to add needed zing and flavor. What's Tali Sauce? The Whole Bowl describes it
this way, Referred to by many as "crack sauce", this lemony-garlicky blend has been
building local addictions in the Pearl, and now at the new Downtown location, for over 4 years. Sauce
devotees have been known to experience a prolonged sense of well-being and tremendous relaxation
upon consumption. What it tastes like is a perfect light curry- lemony and garlicky - and
it keeps the rice and beans in the "Bowl" from falling into bland, boring granola hippie food territory.
It's healthy, fresh, fast and filling. This is cart food at its best, and is pure unique Portland in a bowl.
Sample Menu: Deciding
what to eat here is easy as The Whole Bowl menu only offers three things: the Bambino Bowl (a filling
12oz bowl for $5.00) , the Whole Bowl (16oz for $5.50) and tortilla chips with salsa for (not sure,
think they are $1.00?). A large variety of hot and other sauces can be added to your heart's delight at
the self serve condiment bar. Drinks include Hansen's sodas by the can. Hours:
Most locations are open Mon-Fri 11 Am to mid-afternoon. Please call the Whole Bowl for
details of each location. Phone: 503-757-BOWL

Seriously. Willamette Week, with a little bit
of help from yours truly, are putting on a party to celebrate Portland food carts. But it's more than that -
100% of the proceeds benefit Mercy Corps NW and
Hacienda CDC.
What's the food cart connection? Did you know Mercy Corps has given loans to over 5 Portland food
carts and provides economic development assistance for small emerging businesses? Did you know
Hacienda CDC has an economic development program to help teach budding entrepreneurs skills
through their Micro Mercantes Tamale Vendors program ? Yep. Ever had the awesome tamales at the
Hollywood Farmers Market? That's a Hacienda CDC booth. Anyway, as you know, I love Portland
food carts and these are two organizations I really believe in, so it just seems like a natural fit. But the
fun part is this: A mere $5.00 gets you samples from Altengartz Bratwurst, Asian Station
Cafe, Biggs Bros Wings, Hacienda CDC (homemade Tamales), India Chaat House, Junior
Ambassador, Julia's Mobile Cafe (Russian Food), Moxie RX, NW Hotdogs (Mercy Corps vendor),
Tabor (czech food), Tita's Pista (Phillipino food)! $1 Beers courtesy of BridgePort Brewing
Company, Free Vitamin Water AND there will be music by Jack Straw. Good food. Cheap Beer. Blue
Grass Music. 100% of proceeds benefit Mercy Corps NW and Hacienda CDC. Don't go out Hungry!
All Ages April 19 @ On Air. 1300 N. River Street off the Albina Max Stop 5:30-9:30
pm Hope to see you there. INSERT_MAP For more information please contact: Jess Sword

Hawthorne? Finally, a place close to my apartment that's open past 10 (3am on weekends?
awesome.) It shows promise -- my first batch of fries tasted great, but could have been a bit
crisper. Will definitely ask for xtra crispy next time. Remoulade was good too.

Kudos to Altengartz bratwurst for serving until the end. Not only did they continue to serve but
they offered service with a smile. Something some of the other vendors should learn to do.....deal
with the pressure of a waiting crowd with grace. The Altengartz couple worked well as a team;
husband was busy at the grill while the wife spoke to EVERY person who was waiting. She told
the story about their bratwurst, told us where it was made, (LOCAL!) and their locations and
hours. She made waiting in line a pleasure. Oh, one more thing to note.....we were told that there
would be an award for best cart, the Carty award? We asked how we could put our vote in and the
co-ordinators reply, " Yeah, we decided to pitch the award. Maybe next year we'll be more
organized." Hmm, well, that was kind of a let-down for us but imagine the disappointment for the
vendors; many of which asked us to, "Vote for us for the best cart!" Our vote goes to the sausage
people. You stuck with the time obligation when you could have packed it up like the other
vendors did AND you offered a great, local product. Thanks for staying and serving!

UPDATED INFO COMING SOON! (I PROMISE!!!!) UPDATE January 2009 - This cart has relocated to SE 12th and
Division and has reopened for business. Location: SE 12th and
Division Description: In a shiny black and silver industrial cart with one serious
looking smoker on the back, LeRoy's looks primed to make some serious 'Q. But don't overlook the
other menu items. LeRoy's offers 6 different kinds of Po-Boys and enough vegetarian sides (potato
salad, collard greens, Black eyed peas and coleslaw) to well, make even a vegetarian happy. Brought
to you by the former owner and chef of the Delta Cafe on SE Woodstock, LeRoy's is a no nonsense
BBQ joint like one might find scattered all over the Southeastern U.S. I grew up on real BBQ (North
Carolina style), and although I haven't tried LeRoy's yet, driving miles out of the way to some dusty
parking lot near train tracks for good food was such a part of my childhood that visiting the far reaches
of St. Johns for pulled pork seems normal. Hell, my family would drive 3 hours out of the way for
good BBQ. So give LeRoy's a try and let me know what you think. I'll try to visit soon enough.
Sample Menu: The menu is basic, as any true BBQ joint should be, with a major
emphasis on pork, pork and more pork. Although, all the sides are vegetarian. Pork Spareribs - 3
bones with 1 side $6.50, or 2 sides $8.00. 6 bones with 1 side $10.50, or 2 sides $12.00 BBQ Chicken
- 1/4 chicken with 1 side $5.50, with 2 sides $7.00. 1/2 chicken with 1 side $9.00 or 2 sides $10.50
Pulled Pork served w/ texas toast - With 1 side $6.50. With 2 sides $8.00 BBQ Combo Plate - Choose
2 meats, with 1 side $11.00. With 2 sides $12.50 Po Boys (half or whole) in the $6.50 to $7.00 for a
half. Whole $11.00 - $12.00 Choices include Fried Oyster, Fried Shrimp, BBQ Shrimp, Fried Catfish,
Pulled Pork Queen's Favorite Po Boy - w/ brie, roasted garlic, mushroom and tomato Sides (all
vegetarian) include Potato Salad, Collard Greens, Black Eye Peas, Coleslaw (small $3.00 each, large
$5.00). Side combo platter (choose 3 sides) for $6.00 Hours: Mon-Fri 12-7.
Saturday 1-6PM Phone: 503-442-7421 Website: None
Location: SE 12th and Division (between 11th and 12th)

I would not make a long drive for Leroy's. As a matter of fact, I live 4 blocks away, and I won't be
going back. The sample menu is not the current menu. A small portion of pulled pork is $6 with
no sides. Small sides are $2. When they say small,,,they are very serious. Portions are miniscule,
and the $20 lunch for two (no drinks, no deserts) was a joke. Leroy was sleeping when I got there
at 11:45, and i suspect he will be able to get quite a bit of rest since the fans were not lining up for
lunch. He could probably sleep in the smoker since it was icy cold from lack of use. Let this one
die a natural death!!!

G'day mate, my name is Sam Morgan i am currently a student in Australia and am studying a
subject called "Entrepreneurship". For our main assignment we are asked to create a feasibility
plan for business we create, of course this is all fabricated and not put into place. At the end of the
assignment, we present this plan to our teachers and tutors and pretend as if they were interested
investors. We have chosen to create a business similar to yours, we call is the Chill Grill. I see that
your business looks quite sucessfull and i have a few questions to ask, firstly, the mobile van you
use for the production, obviously this is a unique car not exactly out of the show room, what type
of costs, and set up was needed to create this? Secondly, the storage of food etc, is that all on
board the vehicle and can is change location, i.e. is it a trailer type vehicle or does it have an
engine front? Thank you for you time in reading this and if you could reply to the email address
supplied - smorgan@student.bond.edu.au Thank you once again Kind regards Sam

I've been to Leroy's several times at their new location (thanks to this site I was able to find it) and
it's great stuff! The chicken thighs were crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. I also
tried the pulled pork, and it's awesome. Service is friendly. Give Leroy's a try, you won't be
disappointed.

competitive at the Hawthorne pod) and I truly dig his grub. I've had most of his menu, and
everything has been top notch.

Location: SW Stark and 5th
Description: I'm impressed and surprised. You never know the quality of food from
a specific cart if you have never eaten there before but this pizza was very good. In my humble
opinion, better than most actual sit down pizza restaurants in Portland. Made with a half whole wheat
and half white flour crust, the crust was neither too thin nor too thick and cooked to perfection. A
perfect balance of crunch with softness. The fresh vegetables were standouts. New on the cart scene,
this single man operation around the corner from the food cart row on SW 5th and Stark/Oak features
pizzas artisan pizzas, available by the slice or as whole pies. Toppings include basic cheese or
pepperoni, and revolving specials like roasted red peppers or roasted eggplant with garlic and
Parmesan. Calzones are also available, as well as a bread sticks and a lone salad of the Greek variety.
One of my favorite things about this cart though,
are the housemade natural soft drinks, such as the black cherry, a nice sweet but not too tart light
lemon-lime and a very refreshing but not over powering gingerale that is sure to become one of my
summertime staples. Plus, these drinks are a bargain at $1.75 for a big 16oz biodegradable plastic cup,
or only $0.75 if you bring your own cup. Sample Menu: Pizza- Slices ($2 to $3,
Whole Pies Start at $10.00) Calzones - $6 to $7 Salads - $3.00 House Made Soft Drinks - $1.75 (or
$0.75 if you bring your own cup) Hours: Lunchtime Hours M-F

Just ate here today on your recommendation. It was good! The pepperoni was exactly what
pepperoni pizza should be. The mom's favorite (blue cheese, onion, garlic... i think) was intense
but good. The lemon mint soda was good, but the ginger ale was outstanding. Very reasonable
prices. I'll definitely be back to try the calzones and other specials. Oh, and the cold hummus salad
(?) pizza looked interesting.

Not only are the pizza slices and calzones absolutely delicious (ooey-gooey-goodness), the service
is fantastic. This has become my favorite pizza place downtown, and my co-workers' too. Don't
pass the homemade soda up! It's fantastic!

I just tried it, after wandering by and remembering your review. Fantastic! I got the special
summer squash with feta and a 3-cheese. Both were great, with a nice crispy crust even after
walking all the way back down to the WTC. The 3-cheese had a nice tomato flavor and the squash
was great with the salty cheese cut by the sweet slices of squash. And it was only $5. Hooray!

Fabulous thin and crispy crust and best red sauce I've tasted since leaving the east coast. Reminded
me of Pizzeria Regina in Boston. Couldn't taste that the crust was whole wheat until got to the
edge of the slice. Definitely will be heading back many more times. Tip: The slices with red sauce
are the best. Don't bother with the ones without, like the artichoke and pesto. The red sauce is what
makes this pizza stand out from other west coast offerings.

What a massive disappointment. I figured with all these positive reviews, they can't all be fake
(employees, owners, friends) right? Typical drizzly January day, ya dig? I step up, order a slice of
cheese and a Greek salad. I pays my $, I get a slice and a TINY paper 'boat' of sad, sad looking
salad on an eco-plate (not paper, but some corn concoction, I reckon). I remind the hipster chick
who serves me this that I asked for it 'to go'. Quoth she, "I can put another paper plate on top of
it." I have many blocks to walk to get back to the salt mine, so this will not suffice. I pull from
my raincoat pocket a plastic grocery bag I happen to have and scoop up my lunch- tying it off at
the top. I return to the yob and whip out my bag-o-lunch. Surprise! The slice is half soaked in
Greek dressing. The interior of the bag as well. And there is still a good 2-3 tablespoons of it
sloshing around in the paper boat. There are 5 pieces of soggy greens, 2 tiny cubes of brown
tomato, a sprinkling of limp red onion slivers, some very tired looking Greek olives and a small
balsamic soaked lump of feta. It all tastes of vinegar. Only vinegar. I cut away the unsoppy
portion of the slice and take a bite. The crust has good consistency, but all I can taste is salt. The
crust is salty, the sauce is salty, the cheese is salty. And not in a good way. I am really sorry I
gave pizza a chance.

TrappedDowntown. Weird. Must have been an off day or something. I've eaten there several times
(including once with a food editor of a local magazine) and all my visits have been fantastic (and
I'm definitely not a friend of the owner). I'll go back a few times to make sure they haven't
slipped. Thanks for the feedback.

Uh-oh. I work right by this place, and I love pizza, so of course I had to try it. I got a standard
cheese and pepperoni slice and a fancier slice- I forget what was on it now as it was a month or
two ago- but it doesn't really matter, because neither slice was very good. I lean towards the style
of pizza Pizzicato or Vincente's make, and this was at the other end of the scale. Thicker crust, too
much sauce which wasn't very good, kind of burnt. Overall, this was akin to the kind of pizza I
would tolerate in lieu of no pizza.

I just ate here on Tues, I got the veggie slice (Compost Pile, I think it's called) and I LOVED it.
Perfect amount of toppings, crust was thin and crispy on the bottom with a nice fat chewy/crispy
crust edge! Someone in front of me got a calzone that looked incredible, it literally appeared to be
the same size as a football! Next time I want pizza for lunch I'm heading back here for sure, as I've
been let down by most pizza places close to my work.

trapped downtown. sorry to hear about you bad experience with the place. I am the owner and try
very hard to only let the best product out the window. We also try harder than most to minimize
packaging while realizing that some people have a bit to travel before they get to eat. we do offer
bags and boxes upon request. From your post it seems like you may never venture to our cart
again, but if you do i would like to treat you to another lunch. I am a cart owner, but i am also a
food lover and there is nothing i hate more than eating a sub-par meal that i had to pay for, so i am
sorry that things were not up to standard and i would like the opportunity to make it right. just let
me know. i am there every day. thanks john eads givepizzaachance.com

THIS CART IS CLOSED. Location: SW 9th and Alder Parking Lot (located on
the corner of SW 9th and Washington) ***Readers Favorite*** Thanks to reader Derrek Wayne for providing me with the menu and photos
and for pointing out how good this cart is. Description: Ok, confession time. I work
within spitting distance of this cart. In fact, I work right across the street. However, and to my shame, I
never paid that much attention to it until a couple of alert fans wrote in to tell me how it is one one of
the best Thai carts in Portland. For some reason I was skeptical. Could it really be that good? Why was
the food a dollar more than the other carts? [caption id="attachment_193" align="alignleft"
width="221" caption="Thai Express Phad Thai"][/caption] Shame on me for taking so
long. I should have known better. This is pretty authentic Thai food like you get in Thailand with one
of my favorite Pad Thais out of any of the carts in Portland - and the portions are HUGE (which
explains the slightly higher price than other carts). I think I got three meals out of the Pad Kee Mao
noodles the last time I ate there, and trust me kids, this girl likes to eat. Plus the owner is just a gem, so
very friendly. Menu features all the regular Thai standards, but includes loads of vegetables. Caution
though - UNLESS YOU HAVE ASBESTOS TASTE BUDS DO NOT ORDER YOUR FOOD SPICY.
Really. You've been warned. In my office we now call it the Spicy Thai Cart and we have become fans
and regular customers. Give it a try yourselves. [caption id="attachment_194" align="alignright"

This is one of my favorite Thai carts. The owner is very sweet, if hard to understand. She makes
each dish to order, which can mean a longer wait if there are one or two people ahead of you. But
the food is authentic Thai and top notch. She can be seen making her own curry pastes and
crushing pepper between customers. The servings are VERY generous. I find lunch from Thai
Express can last two days or do for lunch and dinner if I am working late. Most dishes are $6.00,
$5.50 for vegetarian.

I'll throw this tidbit in here, since I don't think there's a "tips on new carts" thread. . . A new Thai
cart has opened at the Alder gaggle, on the west side next to the Taste of Europe cart, called "I
Love Thai Food". Cute name, probably very difficult to Google search for. They seem to be open
late--till at least 6pm; not sure about Saturdays. $5 for all dishes, don't know yet about
soups/appetizers. Looked like all the standards, and they do a couple more unusual daily specials.
The young lady who took my order new what "vegan" meant, bonus for some of us. So far I've
tried their Pad Ke Mao (usually my first gauge of a Thai place) and a spicy eggplant. The former
was better than average--noodles cut wide, three kinds of bell peppers, lots of mushrooms, not
skimpy on the basil, not overly spicy at "medium," not too oily--seemed to me the equal of
Sawasdee Thai around the corner. The eggplant was tasty, cooked to that lovely melty just-right,
but a little less generous in portion size and a little too oily for to be a frequent choice. Small note,
but they were still using some sort of long-grain, probably jasmine rice, while many places seem
to have switched to less flavorful medium-grain as a cost-cutting measure. Overall, definitely
good enough to make me want to return, and worthy of inclusion and a review here.

The fabulous pastry chef with the huge following is Kir Jensen. She's been in the industry for over
a decade. She started in Chicago and worked at the Ritz Carlton and a fantastic four star
restaurant called Trio. In Portland she has built up quite the resume- Blue Hour, Genoa, Noble
Rot, Clark Lewis, Criollo Bakery and many others. As her friend and fellow Chicago native I
have been lucky to be the recipient of all her goodies for last several years. So what if my jeans
don't fit any more? It was all worth it.

Ah, thanks for the info Nancy. I had a hunch the Sugar Cube cart wouldn't be your average stale
Costco donut hole. This is pretty exciting for me. Although it frightens me since I work so close
by and I really don't want to have to buy new (stretch) pants.

Hello out there fellow sweet treat lovers! Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and I'm so
excited to be opening my little cart soon. The Sugar Cube is located at 925 SW Alder next to all
the other awesome food carts and right across the street from Johnny Sole. If you got a sweet
tooth then this will be your destination...perhaps in the morning for a fresh baked scone served
with homemade lemon curd or a tasty vegetarian based soup and panini for lunch, or an afternoon
delight....sink your teeth into a melt in your mouth triple chocolate espresso cookie sandwiched
between a silky smooth layer of dark chocolate ganache. Even if you don't have a sweet tooth
there will be some healthier options on the menu, such as house made granola, fresh fruit
smoothies, delicious honey bran muffins and more. Oregon is a great place for fresh, organic,
local and seasonal products and I will definitely be taking full advantage of all of these perks.
There will even be some vegan sweet treats on the menu and if you have some suggestions please
feel free to share. I look forward to seeing you at my window for a cookie, scone, cupcake or just
great conversation. Tentative opening mid June. I'll give better dates when all is up and running
smoothly. Love, The Sugar Cube

Attention Sugar Lovers, Change of plans....The Sugar Cube will not be opening Tuesday July
first, due to construction delays. No worries I will definitely be open Monday July 7th and ready
to go. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, but that's how things go sometimes when you're
starting out. I hope to see you all there on the big day. Love, The Sugar Cube

I stopped by The Sugar Cube today at lunch. The cart itself is adorable. There's a strangely
fashionable older oven inside, and an interesting glass display rack of sorts along the back wall,
loaded with cupcakes and other goodies. Sadly, I ate only one cupcake. It had a moist chocolatey
cake, lightly filled with runny salted caramel, and covered with a rich chocolate frosting ($2.50).
Delicious. I'm already planning to have a sweets-only lunch sometime later this week.

Location: SW 9th and
Alder Parking Lot Description: Did you know Peru is thought of as having a
distinctive, well regarded and of course delicious street food culture? I had no idea until I ate at
Choza's and tried it myself. Choza's makes wonderful rice and noodle plates with distinctive Peruvian
tastes and techniques. And, as per Peruvian street food tradition, most entrees include French fries
mixed in the other ingredients and served with the addition of a tangy, creamy, slightly spicy Choza
sauce. That sauce is addictive! [caption id="attachment_174" align="alignright" width="284"
caption="Lomo Saltado: Rice, Salad, Meat, Special Sauce and French Fries!!!"][/caption] Lonely
Planet calls Peruvian street food some of the Best
Food You've Never Heard Of. Wikipedia even has a short blurb on Peru in their Street Food entry
page, although they do say, "Cuy, a species of Guinea Pig is served as a delicacy on religious
holidays." Yikes. You won't find Guinea pig at Choza's. Just rib sticking food of good quality at a
good price, different than any other street food in Portland. Choza's is a popular cart for a reason.
Sample Menu: Lomo Saltado (beef or chicken). Sauted meat, vegetables. Served
with French fries and rice - $6.00 Lomo Vegetarian. Same as above, sans meat - more veggies - $6.00
Tallarin Saltado (beef or chicken). Sauted meat, vegetables. Served with spaghetti noodles - $6.00
Tallarin Vegetarian. Same as above, sans meat - more veggies - $6.00 Chaufa. Peruvian fried rice.
meat or vegetarian. - $5.00 Hours: (Warning! This cart's hours seem to be anyone's
guess). Usually open Mon-Friday, Sometimes on Saturdays during lunch hours.

I just had the Lomo Saltado (with beef). Tasty. Any sense as to whether these dishes (and the
similar over Tallarin Saltado over noodles rather than over rice) are a result of the Asian
immigration of the 19th Century?

Any visitors to the Oregon Country Fair MUST seek out and patronize the Peruvian booth there.
The food is fabulous. The dish that really lingers in my memory is an emanada with a cassava
dough--deep fried savory goodness. Yum. Can't wait till July.....

City of Portland Releases Food Cart Study

It‘s Official – the City of Portland Food Cart Study has arrived. Some things in the
report are no brainers, there were a few surprises (people don't really seem to care about the design of
the carts for example) while other issues, such as neighborhood complaints and tensions over the carts
remain unresolved. I‘ve been writing about this study for a while now, and finally two weeks ago the
City of Portland posted the final version on their website. Here‘s a bit
of background: The Portland Bureau of Planning teamed up with a group of urban planning master‘s
degree students to look at the state of food carts in Portland including the land use, economic,
environmental and social impacts. This study was in response to a few issues including Portland‘s
rapidly expanding food cart scene, business and neighborhood complaints and issues against the carts,
and questions on whether the City should focus some efforts in protecting the carts and/or if they are a
good way to focus economic development resources towards potential future grants, loans and other
funding. Despite the misguided reporting over at the
Mercury, this study is not a policy document, nor was it meant to address specific complaints or
issues over specific carts. The study will neither start a city sponsored food cart program nor increase
regulations for the carts. It was simply meant as a baseline study to help the City better understand the
growing trend of food carts in Portland and to potentially guide future decisions regarding the carts and
better help address land use and neighborhood complaints in the future. As paraphrased from the study
itself, The study looked these basic questions: Neighborhood Livability: What effects do
food carts have on street vitality and neighborhood life? What are the positive and negative impacts of
food carts on the community? Community Economic Development: To what extent do food
carts serve as an entry-point into long-term business ownership? Do carts provide beneficial economic
opportunities for residents of Portland? With the following findings: Food carts
have positive impacts on street vitality and neighborhood life in lower density residential
neighborhoods as well as in the high density downtown area. When a cluster of carts is
located on a private site, the heightened intensity of use can negatively impact the surrounding
community, primarily from the lack of trash cans. A cart‘s exterior appearance does not
affect social interactions or the public‘s overall opinion of the carts; seating availability is more
important for promoting social interaction than the appearance of the cart‘s exterior. development.
The presence of food carts on a site does not appear to hinder its development. Food
carts represent beneficial employment opportunities because they provide an improved quality of life
and promote social interactions between owners and customers. Despite the beneficial
opportunities that food carts can provide, there are numerous challenges to owning a food cart.
While many food cart owners want to open a storefront business, there is a financial leap from a
food cart operation to opening a storefront. Food cart owners do not frequently access small
business development resources available to them, such as bank loans and other forms of
assistance. The study also provides the following recommendations: 1. Identify additional
locations for food carts. 2. Increase awareness of informational resources for stakeholders in the food
cart industry by connecting them with existing programs. 3. Promote innovative urban design elements
that support food carts. And that folks, is it for now. Whew, reading and recapping that study made me
hungry. May a I suggest an ice-cold gelato or affogato from Spella Caffe?

I would think that another question the city should ask is whether food carts provide needed and
wanted alternatives for getting good food to people. Perhaps that's a question that doesn't need to
be answered because the answer is obviously YES! But it should be stressed that the food cart
model helps to deliver good food at better prices (affordable prices) than a place that has to pay
rent and all the expenses associated with brick and mortar. Food carts are good for the consumer.

[caption id="attachment_160" align="alignnone" width="224" caption="A Giant Stage Prop Hot Dog
from the Band Phish"][/caption] No Fooling. It really is National Hot Dog Month. (But I'm also
including all kinds of sausages) Although a big juicy dog is fine any old time of year, there is just
something about summer that screams out thick Polish or kielbasa versions, aromatic Italian sausages
with grilled peppers, Chicago
style, beer wursts, smoky red hots, brats of all kinds (brown mustard and kraut with mine please),
long curvy Coney island dogs served with all the fixings, and the list goes on and on. If you are lucky
you'll even be able to find Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai or Lao versions; the latter highly seasoned
with things like garlic, ginger and/or lemon grass. I also enjoy a good corn dog or two every summer at
specialty carts found at fairs and festivals. Vegans and vegetarians can even find some pretty good
meatless varieties. Of course hot dogs and food carts go hand n' hand, and Portland has a good
selection scattered about from the fancy Altengartz, to the no-nonsense
Matlock's empire, to the more BBQ focused Smokin Pig, to the
Jamison Park Staple of NW Hotdog. There's even a new hot dog cart or two in
Portland's ever burgeoning cart scene. So relax, put on those bermuda shorts, flip flop sandals and
wayfayer sunglasses and get yourself a dog, but don't forget the sun screen. Summer is here. Finally.
Note: The above photo is a car-sized Hot Dog stage prop used by the band Weezer Phish and displayed at the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in
Cleveland, Ohio. Price of admission was a whopping $17.00. And that's all I'm gonna say about it. I
did have an excellent bratwurst though at the Cleveland
Westside Public Market at this venerable stand. Man, I wish Portland had brats like that one. Best bratwurst ever.
Oh, and will someone please tell me where I can get Stadium Mustard in Portland? I love that
stuff.

Thanks JG for pointing out who the giant hot dog belongs to, that has been corrected. I suppose I
should have known since there is also a GIANT stage prop of French Fries in a carton and a Giant
Soda cup with Phish written on the side right below it. I don't know about you but of course the
first thing I think of when I think of Phish is a giant hot dog. Weezer too for that matter. I missed
the Weezer 'W' though. I must have been to distracted looking at all the t-shirts, posters and crap
in the gift shop. Anyway, I am still on the hunt for Stadium mustard in Portland. If I find some I'll
let you know. Portland hot dog vendors take note, that Beaver mustard just doesn't cut it. Get some
Stadium mustard. That stuff is the bomb.

UPDATE - February 2009. This cart has closed, but the business has not! You can still do special
orders. Go to www.sugarcubepdx.com for more info. Owner Kir Jensen is now at the wonderful Two Tarts Bakery serving up some of her standards
treats along with Two Tarts' own signature cookies.
Location: SW 9th between Alder and Washington Description:
Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice that's what good pastry carts are made of. Much
anticipated, and already comes equipped with a legion
of fans. And I'm happy to report the Sugar Cube cart is worth the hype. Pastry
chef Kir Jenson is the real deal folks with some pretty impressive credentials including working at the
Ritz Carlton, Genoa, Blue Hour and Clark Lewis. Kir is whipping up some sophisticated yet
comforting food at her new cart including sweet treats, savory nibbles and meals, and serving excellent
Spella coffee and a few other liquid
things like smoothies and a refreshing vanilla bean lemonade. Specialties include a variety of moist
cupcakes that put most other cupcakes to shame, with flavors such as the My Goodness My Guinness
featuring a ginger Guinness beer stout cake with maple cream cheese frosting, or the the Lovely-Lady-
lump which is a lemon teacake cupcake with a lemon curd center, lemon cream cheese frosting and a
fresh raspberry on top. They even have my favorite cake - the booze heavy Harvey Wallbanger, in cupcake form. Whoa. (Although be warned: The
menu is still evolving and some cupcake varieties are only available on occasion or by special order)
Other sweet treats include excellent seasonal fruit coffee cakes, textbook scones (other Portland
bakeries take note), biscuits n' jam, and very very good cookies. Savory dishes include a savory cheese
and veggie strata, panini sandwiches, and a rotation of soups that could include tomato curry, dill
potato, vegetable dumpling, creamy shitake mushroom or a vegetarian chili served with buttermilk
cornbread. Smoothies feature our favorite yogurt brand Nancy's in either Strawberry Peach or Banana Flax, all
sweetened with honey and made with milk or soy milk. Healthy, and delicious! I know what I'm eating
for breakfast this week. Thank you, Kir for opening your little white Sugar Cube
and for making Portland, and Portland's cart scene that much sweeter.
Sample Menu: Coming Soon! Hours: CLOSED. Please refer to

It's long overdue that this pastry queen opened up her own shop, er, cube. Luckily I rode my bike

and ganache cupcake filled with salted caramel. Mmmmmmmmmm.

So a certain lovely blogger here shares an office with my S.O. and having received a pastry
sample from The Sugar Cube, actually shared with her officemates. Our lovely blogger (CBF) is
much more generous than I am - I tend to hoard food and don't like to share. Get your own!
Anyway...the afternoon of the Sugar Cube's opening, I got an email (subject line: "oh my
GAWD!!!!!") from my S.O. saying this: "thesugarcubepdx.com this lovely little cart right across
from my window just sent us a sample box of their pastries. ...wow." Since I work a short block
from the carts, I immediately catapulted into action and hauled over to the new sweet cart. I
ordered the salted caramel buttermilk chocolate cupcakes and holy COW. They are the best thing
I've ever put in my mouth. Seriously. Salted caramel? Chocolate? Buttermilk?!?!?! Come on!!!
I eyeballed other more lunch-type options that they have and will try those menu items soon.
Thank you, CBF, for being a food writer. My taste buds love you for it.

Damn good pastries. I had the biscuit with tart cherry jam and the chocolate and salted caramel
cupcake in addition to the vanilla bean lemonade. As if Spella and Sawasdee weren't already
enough reason to stop by this block, Sugar Cube is laying on the eating pleasure quite thick.

Hello! I really dig Portland food cart scene. They've been so fun to explore, especially since I just
moved from hot dog city Chicago! I just started a food blog myself. I would like to invite you to
check it out: www.theportlandpickle.com Maybe you might consider linking to it from your site?
Keep up the good work! Louisa Cooper

Sorry Ciaofun...I had a family emergency. I'm still trying to get my new sea-legs with the cart.
Please stop by sometime and have a cupcake on me. Love, The Sugar Cube

I made my husband walk over and pick up a selection when I read about the opening. A very,
very pleasant surprise, as I knew next to nothing about the Sugar Cube, other than it had cupcakes.
My husband's eyes completely lit up the minute he bit into his Highway to Heaven. Now, I make
cupcakes and he eats the ones I make, but his face has NEVER looked like that when eating a
cupcake before. With an apology to me, he said it was the best cupcake he's ever eaten in his life.
And then I bit into mine. And well, my cupcakes suck in comparison. It was the moistest, most
chocolately cupcake I've ever had. Delish! The others were just as good, and I think these are the
best cupcakes in Portland. Thanks Kir, we'll be back.

I had been wanting to visit ever since I heard about the cart when it was downtown forever ago,
but could never make it while it was open. I finally got the chance to swing by the Sugar Cube on
Saturday and it was closed because of a leak by the oven. The owner saw me as I was longingly
looking at her cart, and felt so bad she gave me a free cupcake. Let me tell you it was excellent!
Not only is the owner very nice, but her cupcakes are wonderful.

Location: SW 3rd and Oak, SW 5th and Oak, SW 9th and Alder and a small
pushcart hot dog stand in front of the County Courthouse on SW 5th. Description:
Hot dogs, sausages and hamburgers. A couple of subs and a bowl of chili. The end. Um, oh yeah, they
also sells chips and soft drinks. Carries a nice selection of Beaver brand mustards along with relish and
kraut. Pretty straight forward stuff, but sometimes straightforward is just the thing. Plus, am I the only
one who thinks it is pretty funny that the only food cart outside the County Courthouse is named Matlock's? Is that a coincidence?
Sample Menu: All Beef Hot Dogs: Small ($2.00), Medium ($2.75), Large Kosher
($3.50) Corn dog ($1.75) Sausages ($3.00 - $3.50) - polish, kielbasa, Louisiana Red Hot, German
Smoked or Bratwurst Hamburgers including a Boca Burger option ($3.00-3.50) Turkey or Ham Subs
($3.00) Bowl of Chili ($1.75) Hours: Mon-Fri Lunchtime Phone:

There's one at 9th & Alder. Dunno if it moved or what. I thought the large hot dog at $3.50
could have been bigger, but it was certainly tasty enough and dude in the cart was jonny on the
spot.

I'm in and out of the Multnomah County Courthouse almost daily, and I always smile at the name
of the cart. I'll try to remember to ask about the name tomorrow!

Just had the sirloin burger w.cheese and a chili. The burger was great, reminded me of school
lunch cafeteria burgers (which may/may not be a good thing). The guy was real cool, I'll be back
again someday.

MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 ***CLOSED MAY 2009*** Location: 4233 North Mississippi Ave. near
North Skidmore Street. Description: The only cart in Portland that I know of to get
a Filipino soul food fix. Located on a large lot just north of the hustle and bustle of the N. Mississippi
strip, this little brown wood clad trailer compound is also more reminiscent of a charming out of the
way beach shack than an inner city food cart. With a scattering of wooden lounge chairs, a picnic table,
and potted bamboo, Tita's is a fun little lunch or afternoon snack escape. The only things missing are
the hammocks, palm trees and gentle sound of crashing waves in the distance. [caption
id="attachment_205" align="alignright" width="261" caption="Abobo chicken, Pancit plate with Bat
Meat, Lumpia and Guava Juice at Tita"][/caption] Food offerings include wonderfully aromatic and fork tender
Adobo Chicken served with rice, soy sauce seasoned Pancit rice
noodles with vegetables (vegan), a variety of different Lumpia spring rolls and even
Monkey Meat (marinated pork skewers) or Bat Meat (marinated
chuck roast skewers). Sinigang soup made with pork, potatoes, onions and bok choy
is made with a tangy tamarind base surely a terrific cold weather remedy, while the wasabi slaw is
extremely refreshing and made with red and green cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts and sesame all served
in a creamy vegan dressing. The condiment table is generous and a great way to add a personal kick to
your meal. Featuring a variety of well known and lesser known sauces and toppings like fish sauce,
and a plethora of chili sauces and soy sauces, I'm glad to see my personal favorite represented, the
Filipino ketchup known as banana
sauce. Desserts rotate according to season and whim, but often feature fresh mango or papaya
swimming in a creamy sweet coconut milk sauce, while tropical ice cream flavors such as Lychee are
sometimes available in the warmer months. For a traditional treat, try the Ube rice pudding made with
soy/almond milk and purple yam (ube) topped with chopped nuts and coconut. Hours seem to change rather frequently at this cart, so if you are
coming from a distance you might want to call ahead first. Sample Menu:
Lumpia - beef, chicken or TVP (vegan) - $1.50 each Pancit rice noodles (vegan) -
$5.00 small, $6.00 large. Add a chicken drumstick for $1.50 or Tofu for $1.00 Adobo Chicken, served
with rice - Small $5.00, Large $7.00 Monkey Meat (pork marinated in lemon, peppers, herbs and
spices) - $2.00 per skewer Bat Meat - (chuck roast marinated in sweet chili sauce, ginger and paprika)
- $3.00 per skewer Wasabi Slaw (vegan) - $2.00 "Meal" - Pancit, Rice, and Protein (pork, chicken,
beef or tofu) or 2 lumpia and a drink - $9.00 Email: Titaspista@yahoo.com

Here are some hints:
1. This cart does not serve corn from evil looking cartoon characters dressed up like cowboy and
cowgirl square dancers. 2. In fact, this cart does not
serve corn. Period. (update 9/19/08. I was informed that yes, indeed, they do serve corn.) 3.
This cart does not serve American cuisine. 2. This cart is not located in Los Angeles, California -
despite the address listed on the side of said cart. 3. This cart is selling a type of food that is not
available at any other Portland area carts. Know what this cart is? Stay tuned tomorrow for the
answer... [caption id="attachment_214" align="alignleft" width="224" caption="C'est nes pas

***New Cart Alert*** Location: SW 10th and Alder
Description: Oh Number 1 Bento, how you perplex me but still
manage to draw me in. See, I know you are not Corn USA, as advertised on the side of
your cart. I know you do not serve corn (updated:
I guess they do sell corn afterall), nor are you located on Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles, California. I
also happen to know that you aren't really a bento stand. Oh how you tease and intrigue me! You coy
and coquettish little yellow cart. I would have never known you serve my favorite cuisine of all time,
had I never bothered stopping by to look at your little menu. Wait, is it what I think I see? Could it
really be a CART THAT SERVES KOREAN FOOD? In downtown Portland? Hell
yes. This makes Number 1 Bento the only Korean food cart in Portland. Sure, Number 1 Bento is
selling things like generic "teriyaki," "fried dumplings" and "grilled chicken" served with short grain
rice and a miso ginger dressed salad. But hold on there, because Number 1 Bento is also serving
Kimchee, Kalbi Korean beef ribs and my absolute all time favorite of rice, beef, egg
and vegetables: Bi Bim Bop.
Praise the food cart gods and pass the hot sauce. [caption id="attachment_223" align="alignleft"
width="224" caption="Kalbi Grilled Korean Beef Ribs"][/caption] [caption id="attachment_222"
align="alignleft" width="224" caption="Korean favorite Bi Bim Bap"][/caption] So
what's the deal? It seems they just opened and haven't yet had a chance to paint over their cart or add a
new sign. The nice woman behind the counter also told they will be adding more Korean specialties
like Chap-Chae noodles, seasoned Bulgogi beef and even the Korean sushi known as Kimbap. Now, if
they'd only wise up and serve Korean
Fried Chicken, I'd be in heaven. Prices seem very reasonable, and portions are HUGE. Keep an
eye on this cart - it could turn out to be one of the better carts in downtown. [caption
id="attachment_225" align="aligncenter" width="224" caption="The Bi Bim Bap Bop with Kim
Chee"][/caption] Sample
Menu: (kimchee served upon request) Bi-Bim-Bop, seasoned
vegetables, beef, and fried egg on rice - $5.50 Kalbi grilled beef ribs, served with rice and salad -$6.50
Chicken Teriyaki with rice and salad - $5.50 Chicken potstickers with rice and salad - $5.50 Seasoned

Tell me about it... i've been looking for korean food in downtown... for a reasonable price and i
think i found it. I've tried the bi bim bap and the teriyaki chicken and it was very very good.. at an
excellent price. I think i've found my hot spot to go to during lunch and take out for dinner.. The
workers there were very friendly too.

emergency take out dinner. yea! I was there on Saturday, but tried the new Thai food cart next
door. This cart is next on the list. BTW, that block now has 3 Thai carts, wow, that's a lot of thai
food in one block.

they have a shave ice machine, hoping they will serve that too. LC

A little background on this cute little trailer currently housing #1 Bento. It is a custom built trailer
originally designed for festivals selling primarily roasted corn-on-the-cobb under the name of
Corn USA with the main office in LA....yes, on Wilshire Blvd. The "Seoul Sisters" brought it to
the Portland area back in 2003. Where it has been in storage until just recently. It has a all
aluminum interior with a rotesserie oven for roasting a variety of items from corn to chicken to
baked potatoes. I'm sure, in due time, the markings will either be covered over or pain stakenly
removed (the external covering is NOT paint, but a stick-on material that can be challenging to
remove). So be perplexed no more and know that the sisters are thrilled to be a part of downtown
Portland and look forward to meeting lots of new and interesting people while delivering great
tasting food. Enjoy!!

I had the bi-bim-bap #1 today as well, it was very good! Although be forewarned, the fried egg is
not cooked in the middle, to the point of being liquid. I also had corn chowder and a free sample
of roasted corn, both of which were great. I guess they are expanding the corn selections to match
the cart!

I just dropped by #1 today (I work at the library and the carts at 10th and Alder are a godsend!)
and the owner/operator mentioned that they will be adding a bunch of new items to the menu next
week. I offered that I had already heard good things about #1 and she responded, "The internet?"
Yup. From our conversation I got the impression that this blog has contributed to a great start for
this small business. And the Bi-Bim-Bap was excellent!

the carts since that is the main reason I started this blog in the first place. Mr. Shogun: thanks for
joining the conversation and for giving us more background. Everyone else: Thank you for, well,

I walked by the cart on Sunday and watched as an addition was being put on the back. I talked to
the proprietress who might be in the top 10 of nice people in the world. I had eaten at the cart on
Friday and ordered the Bi-Bim-Bop which was excellent. We were also given samples of the
chowder and her freshly rolled California rolls (no mayo). Both were very good. Will return
many times I'm sure.

I'm so excited about this new cart. I was a bit wary at first with the interesting dancing corn decor
about the cart (at least you can't mistake it for a different drab cart), but was happily surprised to
find a new lunch option. Korean food at that! The ladies cookin up a storm inside are really
sweet. I tried the kalbi which is really good. I've had a lot of Korean in my lifetime but by far this
place takes the cake for value and quality. The bibimbap is also an excellent and healthy option
especially with all the vegetables, a fried egg to top it off and a delish sauce to seal the deal. This
place is great. I highly recommend trying it!

Let me start with saying: I have had a lifelong love of Korean food. I grew up with Kimchi as a
constant presence in my family's refrigerator and my mother NEVER let us run out of it. In my
family, we even went as far as to put Kimchi on our pizza. You might be guessing that I'm
Korean, but I am not, and I therefore do not have as much cred as a Korean person commenting on
this new - but weird - cart. But I think I have more cred than a person tasting Korean food for the
very first time. Now that that's established, I just wolfed down in probably less than 2 minutes
flat, a cheap, delicious, and wholly satisfying Bi Bim Bap. The only way it could have been better
is if it had been served in a hot stone bowl but I realize that is probably impractical for a food cart.
YUM YUM YUM YUM. I can't even say they didn't give me enough Kimchi. I ate all of it and it
was a perfect amount.

I'm posting again because this is SO GOOD! I've had several of their other dishes, all outstanding!
And if you feel like soup, get the corn chowder, it's excellent. The owner is very friendly and
always gives out samples while the food is cooking, including some excellent noodles.

This has been one of my favorite carts for the past months but has recently disappeared. They
were closed for vacation over the holiday but the entire cart has been gone since the new year.
Did they relocate somewhere else? If it is spotted somewhere else I would love to know; and why
they closed down and what happened to all those Korean grannies...

Yeah! I second what SadEater said. What happened to the cart? I never ate there and wish I
wouldn't have found out there was a cart with Korean food. Because I read the reviews and
comments and it got me pumped up to go there. Then I went there and sure enough the cart was
there but it was closed. So I tried again another time and the cart wasn't even there anymore. OH
WHY? Why did you inform me of Korean food in Portland (which there is never any) only for
me to find the cart closed and gone. It is soooooo difficult to find Korean food around Portland
which is why I still don't think much of Portland's cuisine. Korean food is the only asian food I
care about. Why can't a business offering Korean food never last or stay open? If only the Korean
community knew just how many millions of people all over the world desire Korean dishes. You
couldn't pay me to eat Thai or Japanese. Not interested. Oh well. Sounds like there was some
good stuff at #1 Bento. Portland loses again.

MRN, you and the rest of the us are in luck. I was over there right after I wrote that post and it
turns out they are just swapping out for a new cart. The gray trailer that is on the corner will be
the new cart and one of the ladies said they would be open on monday (1.12.09 I'm assuming).
HOORAH! I will miss the "Corn USA" cart though. I loved how it said "KOREAN BBQ" and
then underneath in smaller letters in quotes it said " 'Japanese Food' " as if offering an explanation.
plus the weird cobs of corn dressed up in western wear...

What are you talking about no Korean food in Portland? There are a bunch of good Korean places
near Uwajimaya.

were closed. I stopped by several times after that to see if they were open.. and sure
enough..FINALLY!!! i went there the other day and there were so many people waiting in line
but well worth it. It looks like they even expanded their menu.. i shared the curry and ramen with
my friend and it was the perfect meal for a cold day. I am going to try the spicy squid next time..
that sounds GOOOOD ..

Yummy stuff here. Not quite the upscale delight that Be Won is (hands down the best Korean in
the PDX Metro), but this place is much more affordable than Be Won. I'm a sucker for Bi Bim
Bap -- to the point that it's virtually the only thing I eat on a Korean menu. That's not to say I don't
like other Korean dishes, but I never seem to want one more than a good, hearty BBB. That's
exactly what you get here --- lots of fresh veggies, a smattering of beef, a pile of rice and the
perfectly cooked over-easy egg to slosh around the overall mix. The side of Kim Chee is always
on fire. The super nice lady who runs it gave me a free sample of Chap Chai one day, and it was
very good. I can't speak to anything else on the menu. I don't work anywhere near this cart, but I
do drive to downtown and pay for a friggin' parking spot upwards of once a week just go get my
fill of Bap. Now, if someone will explain why there's not a Korean spot anywhere on the east
side . . . except for Toji, which is fine, but nothing to write home about.

patio. A very popular brunch spot, Moxie serves things like smoothies, pastries, pancakes and
breakfast sandwiches. Beverages including fresh juices, coffee drinks, etc. round out the offerings.
Warning: This cart is very, very popular on the weekends so lines can be long. In addition, Moxie

I love this place! While my girlfriend gets a latte from Fresh Pot, right next door, I indulge in a
delicious vegan Berry Buzz juice drink full of yum. We love to sit at the picnic table and watch the

Will many of the carts on SW 9th and Alder have to move? Will these carts have to shut down
completely? [caption id="attachment_239" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="The SW 9th
and Alder Parking Lot, Home to Many of Portland's Best Loved Food Carts"][/caption] I've been
hearing mumblings from the cart owners for a few weeks now and it could mean big changes for carts
on that lot. The issue concerns a recent cap on electricity use by the carts as mandated by the site's
property owner, Greg Goodman. As reported in the Oregonian yesterday, the recent large increase in the number of carts on the
property means there isn't enough juice to go around. The cap, now mandated by Goodman at 20 amps
per cart, is a big problem for many cart owners who need a minimum of 20 amps or more just to
maintain operations. For example, Andrea Spella, owner of the popular espresso cart Spella, needs 20 amps just to operate his espresso
machine, not to mention electricity needed for his other equipment. Andrea told me earlier this week
that this mandated electricity cap might put him out of business. While Goodman indicates his
company is working to increase electricity to the carts, he also stated that some carts may need to move
and/or he may need to charge the carts more. This too is problematic for many of the carts since many
are stating they are already paying for more electricity as part of their agreement with Goodman. Brown Bag Bunny has already stated that as of next
week they are moving to SE 12th and Hawthorne due to this issue. Who will be the next to leave? I
applaud Goodman for allowing the carts which add to an active and culturally rich street life on that
block and make many many people happy and well fed on the cheap daily. The carts are certainly a
much better amenity than just a big ugly parking lot filled with cars. However, I also hope Goodman
and the cart owners can come to some sort of mutual agreement rather quickly. I would also suggest, if
necessary, assistance from the City's Bureau of Planning who have stated they support carts in Portland
and are interested in issues like this one. They might be able to negotiate some sort of city permit
discounts and other incentives that would allow increased electricity but still keep the model cost
effective for everyone. In addition, I'm just going to say it: why on earth would Goodman keep adding
carts without looking into the electrical capacity of his property beforehand? In addition, why on earth
does one parking lot need 4 Mexican carts and 3 Thai carts? Free market is good and I figure Goodman
is bringing in at least $12K per month just from cart rent alone, but thoughtful planning and safety nets
incorporated into free market is better. If you care about this issue please feel free to discuss it with
any of the cart owners at the SW 9th and Alder lot who can provide you with more information. In
addition, you can contact Greg Goodman directly at 503-221-1666 to tell him your opinion.

Thank you, for bringing this issue to the attention of your readers. It makes me sad to have to
move from downtown, but I am looking forward to being at my new location. The power issues
are affecting almost all of the vendors at this lot. The breakers pop at least 10-15 times per day.
Each time that this happens someone has to run out and flip the breakers. The interruption of
power affects food preparation as well as refrigeration temps. I chose to move because my
refrigerator temp was affected by these temporary power losses. I want to serve my customers
fresh and safe food. This started happening more recently with the introduction of several new
carts. It is not really any single vendors fault. Though the parking lot management tends to pawn it
off on some vendors, who may be using more than their fair share of power. In my opinion, the
Goodmans, and the parking lot management care very little about the vendors at this lot. The
vendors represent a paid parking lot space to them. Getting a straight answer out of parking lot
management has been a challenging and fruitless effort. They issued a memo several weeks ago
stating that as of October 1st, they would be capping each trailer's use to 20 amps. I have not been
at the lot since Monday, so I am unsure of whether they have done this. I suspect that they have
not. I find it hard to believe that the Goodmans who own almost every parking lot downtown
cannot afford to put in another box to support the vendors. I think that the carts are a wonderful
addition to the downtown scene. I have heard from countless customers, that they love the carts. I
think that some of the vendors do not want to complain, because they don't want to rock the boat.
Vendors are on a month to month lease at this lot. When I complained, I was told by the parking
lot management that if I did not like it then leave. I could be replaced in a heart beat. I just don't
think that the small business person matters very much to big companies like PMC. I really hope
that they find a solution at this lot. I hope to see some of you at my new location at 12th and
Hawthorne. Thank you, for reading my rant. ~Bunny.

We'd not heard any statements from the Goodmans that rent may be increased, (again this year?)
or that vendors may have to move. The latter makes far more sense; the latest additions should
have to relocate if there is to be any removal of any vendors. This certainly isn't the fault of the
most recent vendors - they had no idea the lot couldn't accommodate them. Ideally a lot would be
able to provide the same accommodations as an RV park with each vendor having their own
electrical plug-in and water hook-up. Look inside the box just in front of the Loco-Loco Burrito
cart, you can't miss it as there is a constant hiss of running water. You'll see a network of hoses
trying to draw from one water outlet. We assume the cap has taken place since power has not shut
off since last Wednesday, the 1st of October. Correction, the power for the Altengartz Bratwurst
stand hasn't shut off; I know some of our neighbors have had continued outages but they aren't
occurring as frequently. The Multnomah Health Dept had to temporarily shut down two carts as a
result of the electrical issue. The vendors were unable to maintain correct food temperatures; it's
impossible to get warmers to their correct temperature when the power is constantly going off and
on again. Another vendor relies upon electricity for their water pump and water heater which you
have to have unless you set up an acceptable hand-washing station and find a commissary for
doing dishes. This will be an interesting winter. Many vendors use heaters in their carts to keep
warm. They won't be able to do that now as they'll risk blowing the circuits. We are one of the
three original food vendors who set up business at SW 10th & Alder in 2000 and the only one
of the oringal which remained. We've seen many changes over the past 8 -1/2 years and we've
enjoyed the growth the lot has experienced. We're hoping that our neighbors are all able to
continue doing business this coming winter. We'll see.

One of the biggest rewards for me in running this website is in connecting with other food cart lovers.
It especially warms my heart to read emails like the one I recently received from reader, Sharon:
Dear CBF, Just wanted to say thanks for your site. It has been of great help in planning
my weekly get together lunches with my son downtown. I pick a different cart each week, and share
the goodies with him over his lunch break at work, and its a blast. Today we do Korean! Keep up the
good work! When I was a kid my family hardly ever ate at food carts simply because
there weren't many of them around, but if I bet we would have if we lived in Portland circa 2008. See,
my parents are extremely adventurous eaters, as well as being bargain hunting diners. Discovering and
eating at small hole-in-the-wall ethnic places, excellent sausage and kebab stands here, and even driving
near and far to Farmers Markets, community fairs and the like for cheap vittles made for some
wonderful budget oriented family outings and a lifetime of rich memories. Now that I am grown, these
culinary tours on a dime have become a special treat when I go home to visit. We all pile in the car and
drive all the way across town to eat at places like my Dad's favorite "Polish Cafeteria" or my Mom's favorite Vietnamese restaurant for their famous "Cinnamon
Beef Soup." I really need to thank my parents for introducing me to a whole wonderful world of food
at an early age and for teaching me that eating well does not mean you have to spend a lot of money
doing so. Thanks Mom and Dad for your wisdom! [caption id="attachment_269" align="aligncenter"

9th"][/caption] I'm also very glad the carts exist in Portland to allow other families,
either grown or young, to share in similar eating adventures, dine well on a budget and create their own
important shared memories. Bon Apetit, CBF.

I love your site, and am totally enamored with Portland Food carts...it started at Tabor...fried
muenster cheese!!!! and when Burritos Funny moved next door to work, I was in heaven...$3.00
for lunch, life is great! ( They have since moved to 50th and Burnside, so I have to go out of my
way). Now I love near the Hawthorne food cart park...and I'm planning a food cart party. I love the
variety and the quality. Check out the new Teriyaki BBQ there when you have a chance. I love
Portland!

Bertha, thank you so much for the compliment and thanks for reading. It means a lot to me.
Where is the Teriyaki BBQ place? I'm a bit confused on that (not unusual for me, I get confused
all the time). Anyhoo, let me know and I will check it out. CBF

***THIS CART CLOSED FEBRUARY 2009***
Location: SW 4th Avenue, Between College Street and Hall Street
Description: King of Rice may bill itself as "Middle Eastern" food, but that simply
doesn't do this cart justice. Sure, they serve a Vegetarian Plate made up of the typical hummus,
tabbouli, stuffed grape leaves and the like. However, that's about it for the ubiquitous "Middle Eastern"
offerings found at countless other carts and restaurants around town. See,
the King of Rice is serving incredible Arabic food rarely found in
Portland. With a focus on glorious, aromatic and perfectly cooked basamati rice, this food
cart in the PSU cart row on SW 4th Ave, wows me to no end. Silky curries and stews made with tender
chicken or lamb, perfectly seasoned biryani rice plates loaded with vegetables, exotic spicy sweet
Hejazi rice with pickled mango and a wallop of garlic are but a few of the more unusual menu items.
Food Cart Portland reader Chris, writes, I've eaten there several times, and I'd be hard
pressed to name a place that cooks and spices chicken and lamb better than they do. And
while I can vouch that the meat is indeed very tender and flavorful, the rice is the focus here. For rice
plays a huge part in the center of Arabic cuisine and holds an important place at the table, served
throughout the day from simple stews with a side of rice to elaborate baked rice dishes reserved for
weddings and other important occasions. And King of Rice is serving food from the Hejaz tradition which contains deep influences from
other cuisines as diverse as North Africa, India and Southeast Asia. It's a delicious, and ancient, form
of fusion food. King of Rice describes their food this way, In Saudi Arabia there are two
holy mosques and for 1500 years people from all over the world traveled to visit the holy lands. From
North Africa, South Asia, East Asia, people gathered in the melting pot known as Hejaz. Our menu
represents the evolution of Hejaz's foods... It's simply wonderful homemade
comfort food: a bit exotic, made with care and served in large generous portions. Really, I can't
recommend them enough. Sample Menu: All dishes come as vegetarian
(vegan too!) or with lamb or chicken. All dishes except the vegetarian plate are served with rice. Halal
foods and meats. All dishes are $6.00 Dishes (served with white basamati rice on the side) Bamya - Okra
with special King of Rice tomato sauce with onion, garlic and green coriander Basilia - Green peas
made with Special King of Rice tomato sauce with onion, garlic and green coriander Sabanikh -
Spinach made with special King of Rice tomato sauce with onions, chickpeas and garlic Vegetarian
Plate - Stuffed grape leaves, hummus, Tabbouli, baba ganouj and Arabic bread Quzi -(non-vegetarian)
Made from seasoned lamb or chicken, cooked with Arabic seasoned sauce Mix-Curry - (non-
vegetarian) Made from lamb or chicken, onion, garlic, coconut, red curry and other seasonings
________________________________________________ Special Rice Plates (and served with yogurt salad and made with your choice with
fish, lamb or chicken): Biryani - meat of choice, rice, onion, tomato, green pepper,
ginger and cooked with Arabic and Indian seasonings Hejazi Rice - vegetables and herbs, cooked with
Arabic spices. Your choice of meat Mandi - baked lamb or chicken, with white boiled basamati rice,
cooked with Arabic seasoning (has a smoked flavor) Fresh Juices and Desserts are Also Available Hours:

Thanks jojo and Ian. I am super picky about quality, so my endorsements don't come easy, trust
me. King of Rice makes damn good food. Ian, so funny you should mention the okra thing. I love
Okra! However, as you probably know, Okra is one of the "love it or hate it" vegetables. I had an
interesting discussion with the very nice people running this cart about Okra. You see, I'm from a
Southern family and so my Nana (grandmother) always made wonderful okra dishes. Okra for me
= love. So I told the owners how most Americans hate Okra, except in the South and they
screamed, "yes, we have heard this! People from Lousiana say our food is like theirs!" And you
know what, it is! Even the spicings are similar.

I completely understand it--I'm a Southern transplant, myself. And I haven't found many places to
get a good (vegan) okra fix here. Pretty much the only thing "Southern" about me is my love of
okra. Always disappoints me that none of the Indian carts does okra (nor eggplant) so this should
be a big help.

I went and got the bamyi--and it was very tasty indeed, and a nice change of pace. The proprietor
was also very friendly and helpful, and was very clear on understanding what vegan means versus
vegetarian. Only downside was that I absolutely destroyed my favorite pair of jeans, unwittingly
spilling some of the sauce that had leaked into the plastic bag all over them--turmeric leaving a
stain that looks like a yellow hi-liter pen exploded all over the jeans : \

Location: SE 12th and Hawthorne
Description: Ahh, 2am and you've had a couple of beers. Now what? You could
stop on by any one of the late night 24hr fast food joints for "4th meal" and pay for it in the morning,
or you could head on down to SE 12th and Hawthorne and get some Frites. Yep, I'm calling them
Frites instead of fries because they are that good. Potato Champion is Portland's only late night fry cart
and from my experience, the only cart in town specializing in Belgian style frites. Belgian style frites are potatoes that are
peeled, cut, washed and then blanched with a first fry before frying them again. This makes them
crispy on the outside while staying fluffy on the inside. I don't know about all that techno mumbo
jumbo, I just know that they are just what the doctor ordered after a few beers at the local microbrew.
When I visited, it was pretty quiet on the corner, so I walked right up. The owners are very friendly
and kind as I assume they get a few of their share of drunkards rolling by. I ordered a large cone with
the Rosemary Truffle ketchup. Plenty for one person and I barely got to the ketchup as I was
devouring the hot yummy fries without really thinking to pair them with anything. Next time I will try
the tarragon anchovy mayo or maybe Poutine. Yep, they have traditional Poutine, and even a vegan version. Cuisine Bonne Femme loves Poutine so much
she writes, Ah, how can I explain my love of Poutine? It's simply trashy, French
Canadian comfort food. Je t'aime la Poutine! See, Poutine is considered the national dish of Quebec,
Canada. Much to the chagrin of the "real French" who consider the French Canadians a bunch of
backwoods redneck idiots when it comes to cuisine. Sacre Bleu! Still, I dare you to not love anything
with crispy fries covered in a rich brown chicken gravy and cheese curds, especially after a night of
imbibing. I fell in love with Poutine while an exchange student in Quebec one summer, and I still crave
it. It's nice to see a place in Portland serving it. Sample Menu: Small cone: $3.50 Large cone:
$4.50 Choice of sauces: Horseradish Ketchup; Rosemary Truffle Ketchup; Mayonnaise; Pesto Mayo;
Tarragon Anchovy Mayo; Remoulade; Dijon Mustard; "Harder" Hot Mustard, etc. Poutine: Small:
$4; Large: $5 (Vegan and Vegetarian available) Hours: Wednesday-Saturday: 8pm
- 3am; closed Sunday-Tuesday Phone: Unknown Email:

The Frites are as close to a spiritual catharsis I've had in awhile, but that could be saying more
about me than the spuds. However, having watched Mike and his potato mill pump out thousands
of pounds of fries, he's definitely doing something right... The stumps are kewl too....

(wonderfully) greasy fries is a magical combo.

Had the poutine a while ago. Divine. In a really artery-clogging sort of way. Plus, it is the food
of my people, those suspicious French Canadians.

Great frites and poutin! We also had the remoulade, which is just terrific. I wish they were open all
day (though my arteries are grateful they are only open late). Rumor has it they are looking for a
store with a heavy emphasis on all things Belgium (frites, waffles, beer...) So good.

The Poutine is wonderful, and I like the Low Countries so it's great to have someone kicking it
frite style in Portland. Nice people, too.

I'm certain they clean those first-cooked fries - at 300 degrees, in oil.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="Q
BBQ"][/caption] Location: SW 4th and Hall by PSU
Description: BBQ'd Turkey leg! Need I say more? I was off to visit my buddy who
was working the swing shift at a local retail store and decided to stop in at the cart fest that is SE 12th
and Hawthorne. It was Tuesday evening, so only a couple of them were open so I opted for Q BBQ. I
knew I was in for a treat as I could smell bbq sauce coming around the corner and there wasn't anyone
around so I knew I would get excellent service. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="240"
caption="Q BBQ"][/caption] As I walked up, I was heartily greeted by Gary, the owner
and bbq master. Before I could even take a moment to look at the menu, he told me that this week was
Chicken. I must have had a look on my face of misunderstanding so he explained. Due to the size of
his cart, The G-Men stated he couldn't offer everything on his menu all the time, so he switches it up
by the week. Week 1 is pulled pork, week 2 is ribs, week 3 is brisket and week 4 is bbq chicken.
Week 4 is also BBQ Turkey leg. As with all BBQ, I don't have it enough, so always want to try
everything on the menu. I ended up with a Turkey leg and 2 pieces of bbq chicken for $9.75. Oh, and
he threw in some excellent rolls to sop up the bbq sauce when I was done. I have to say. I loved that
turkey leg so much, I wanted to ..... Not really, but it was tasty. I know the trick to good bbq is
making sure the meat stays moist. Well, Gary has that figured out. Like I said, I was taking some for
my friend who is a Texan and he too enjoyed every bit. Gary mentioned he wanted to expand in the
future. Well, Gary, I think that would be a great idea. Sample Menu:
Turkey Leg: $4.75 BBQ Chicken: $4.75 Brisket: $4.75 The Underdog
(Veggie dog): $3:50 Our Original Beignets (Hot Fresh): $2.50 Hours:

The tofu nuggets are awesome, too. They are lightly breaded and flash fried, with his fab BBQ
sauce on top. A superb veggie option. He's also planning to make his grandmother's sweet potato
pie .... Yummmmmmmm!

This was the best BBQ I have ever had, Gary was super cool and the beef brisket was so amazing,
I also had me some of the yummy beans. I wish there was one on the west side. Worth the drive
for me, I think I'm going right now!

**** THIS CART CLOSED EARLY 2009**** Location: South Waterfront District (located on corner
of SW Moody and Abernathy, near Portland Streetcar). Delivery available to OHSU for
$2. Description: If
you are a fan of Balinese and Indonesian food, you may be excited to know that Portland now has
exactly ONE outpost of these fine vittles. Indonesian fare is a distinct cuisine in its own right, but it's a
safe bet that if you dig Thai and Vietnamese food, you'll feel right at home with the curry, coconut,
tamarind-laced dishes at this new(ish) cart, which is doing its part to remedy Portland's dearth of this
very fantastic fare. And if you have not had the pleasure to partake....well, now you have no
excuse. "Waroeng Nasi"
roughly translate to "small roadside shack that serves rice", according to owner Mike Hillis. The cart
offers, of course, much more than rice - though the rice that accompanies the meals is far from
ordinary. Seasoned with yellow turmeric and wafting with the faint scent of coconut, each fluffy grain
is sepate and distinct - the opposite of sticky rice. Hillis' wife Priska,
a native Balinese, makes all of the food fresh to order from family recipes. The Kare Ayam (pictured)
consists of a generous helping of tender, cubed chicken breast that has been simmered in coconut milk
and spices. It is both sweet and savory, but relatively mild with regard to spiciness. The vegetables
(spinach, bean sprouts, blanched carrots and green beans) are fresh and vibrant, topped with a peanut
sauce that is rich and nutty, but less sweet than the standard Thai variety. And the cart's namesake rice,
as described above, is quite lovely and more than ample. I'm planning my
next visit to Waroeng Nasi for a Thursday, so that I can partake in that day's special: steamed fish in
banana leaves with vegetables served in a clear, piquant broth...heaven!

Update May 7: Recently moved to NE Alberta between NE 14th and 15th Location: New location - will update once
known. Description: Heritage. What does that say to you? To me it means old
world or something long lost that we need to remember. And that is what I thought when I saw a new
cart named Heritage Street Food on the way to get a taco. I had my heart set on a taco that day, but the
owner of Heritage Street Food beckoned us over with offerings of a homemade blondie - a light airy
brownie. Who can pass up sweets? While we munched on this little morsel, we eyed the menu and he
stated he had just made beet ravioli from homegrown beets. He even show us the deep purple pasta to
prove it. This engagement and what we saw on the menu was enough for us to give it a whirl. A
couple of us opted for the Cubano sandwich which was chipoltle port, honey ham, swiss, pickles,
cilantro, lime may on a panini. It turned out to be on a homemade honey wheat roll that he had baked
that morning. Are you seeing the theme? It appears he has a penchant for making
the food truly from scratch. Granted, a lot of food carts do that and that is why we go there. Yet, to
get a sandwich with homemade bread - that is a treat. You should see his breakfast special - 10 grain
beer pancakes with honey orange syrup. And the beer used is Deschuttes Inversion IPA. I'm not a big
fan of pancakes, but I would try those. Sample Menu: Cubano
Sandwich: $6 Fresh Pasta dishes daily: $6 (veggie options) 10 grain beer pancakes: 2 for $3 Roast
Beef Sandwich: $7 Coffee bbq tofu steaks with jicama apple slaw: $7 and deserts... Hours:
Please call for hours. Phone: 503 409 6884 Location:
NE Alberta, in between NE 14th and 15th. INSERT_MAP

Location: SE 12th and Hawthorne "cart pod" Economic meltdown be damned! Yarp! proves
the power of the Portland food carts: Good Food, Big Portions, Incredibly Low Prices. Yarp?! spells
their name with both a question mark (?) and an exclamation point (!) and it seems to fit. It's a
juxitoposition kind of cart and something you'll only find in "keep Portland weird" Portland. For this
bold cart calls themselves "Anarchist Gearhead Cooks" and the paint job on their
old school black and white camping trailer perfectly matches the vintage 70's muscle car parked next to
it. Gearhead Gourmets Unite! So what do gourmet Anarchist Gearheads cook? Pretty tasty food, it turns out
with an emphasis on wonderfully prepared noodle dishes. There are classics like
homemade Bolognase meat sauce over different kinds of pasta ($6) or a textbook Italian-American
Spaghetti and Meatballs ($6.5). Then there is the rib sticking comfort of the Beef Stroganoff ($6) or
the fancy pants smoked salmon fettuccine with lemon dill cream sauce ($6.5). Oh, and did I mention
that the portions are BIG? They are. [caption id="attachment_358" align="alignleft" width="300"
caption="I forgot, they also have a garlic, sausage and cream pasta. Whoa."][/caption] Yarp knows the Portland market and their "gateway to Hawthorne" location well, and
the menu includes lots of vegetarian offerings. While most contain dairy, the menu
simply states, "talk to the kook if yer a vegan." I take that to mean, yes, there are vegan options
available. The roasted tomato and red pepper spaghetti ($4) can also include "as many veggies as will
fit in the pan" for a mere 50 cents extra. Like I said, A BARGAIN. One of my favorite Yarp pastas
though has to be the Oglio Olio, that is described on the menu as, "it's an Olive oil, white wine, Ouzo,
Feta and Butter Sauce, also with as many veggies fit." ($4.5). Damn. [caption id="attachment_359"
align="alignright" width="224" caption="Yarp Marinara. Vegan? Just ask for no cheese!"][/caption] There are also a couple of different types of decently
prepared burgers, veggie burgers and cheeseburgers available ($4-5.5). The wilted spinach salad on the
opposite of the food spectrum brings high praise, ($4) with top quality greens and a choice of meat
(cow, fowl or swine) or vegetables ($2.5) and includes roasted peppers, roasted garlic and raisins with
a Parisian Dressing or an Apricot Balsamic. I have no idea what a "Parisian Dressing" is, but the whole
thing overall sounds quite good. The menu changes frequently, and hours are limited from dinner to
late night "closing down the bar" hours, but Yarp is providing exactly what many of us need right now:
comfort food, well prepared, at terrific prices. As Yarp states on their menu, ~Anything you're good at contributes to happiness. -Bertrand
Russell Rock On Dudes! Sample Menu: Menu v. 3.2 Carnivore Spaghetti

Yarp?!'s new hours are 8-3 (unless we run out of food, which has been known to happen; that
whole limited storage constraint) Wed. - Sun. Sorry Johnny, if I had been paying attention I
would have changed them.

I tried these guys last Friday night for the first time, and the Spaghetti Bolognese is very good.
Actually, I think the pasta they use is a little thinner than spaghetti, and a little thicker than angel
hair, but the point is, I'll be back for more!

If a cart has a phone number listed its a good idea to call ahead. Otherwise it's best to go in with a
laissez faire, catch as catch can, que sera attitude since if business is slow, the weather is bad, or
the wind blows a certain direction, carts close down for the night.

New hours!!! Yarp?! is open days again. We open at 11:30AM seven days a week, close by 2:30
on Mondays and Tuesdays, but still rock the late night (3:00AM unless we run out of food or
there's nobody hanging out) Wednesday through Sunday. Our menu will change around 5:00pm
or so from a lunch menu to a dinner menu. Lunches will be mostly quick foods like grilled
sandwiches, salads, quiches, soups, etc so people can get back to work quickly. Sure our cream
reductions taste awesome, but they take at least ten minutes; and who has the time to wait during
the day? We are also expanding our vegan menu during the day and as we develop yummy stuff
we'll transition them to the night menu. I am currently working on a vegan reuben using brined
(corned) portobello shrooms. I'm also working on my own sauerkraut, but it'll be a few weeks
before it's ready. Yarp?! invites all of you to come on down and check out the day menu.

Oh boy Yarp?! is needin' the love folks. Our landlords delivered a letter last night stating that we
need to pay off half of our outstanding debt by Monday morning (that's tomorrow) or we will be
evicted. We are okay with our current bills, and in fact are making enough money to pay ourselves
for the first time since we started, however the landlords are demanding that we pay off half our
outstanding debt immediately, and the rest within two weeks. We are doing a marathon fund
raising today: we are asking 36 people to pay 25$ for food to be eaten at a later date. 25$ works
out to be about 3 meals at Yarp?! (sometimes more, never less) so if you want to see Yarp?! stay
on Hawthorne, please come down and show your support today. We will be open from noon until
3am to rock the pod with yummy noodles. I am hoping that with enough community support I can
go to the landlords and work out a payment schedule for the remainder of our debt. If we can show
them that folks want us around enough to commit money then we have some leverage. So please
come on down and help Yarp?! stay at the Hawthorne pod.

The people in this town are amazing. Yarp?! has succeeded in our goal tonight. Our marathon of
inhaling garlic fumes and habanero pepper spray lasted 18 hours and didn't have much time to
interact with people who we'd really like to talk to. The greatest part for me personally was the
fact that we did get to start relationships with a great many of our neighbors; (freaks, everyone of
you in the good way of course) We are looking forward to remeeting these folks when we're not
half mad with REM deprivation and dehydration. At that point we hope to personally thank you,
so pipe up when you come by; talk over us if need be. We do respond to yelling. Thanks... Yarp?!

If the ? and ! were overlapped, it'd be an interrobang. That's right. An interrobang. That's a
outdated, but still legit, piece of English punctuation. It serves as a dual purpose question mark
and exclamation (also called bang) point. It's kinda rad, right?

Location: Pioneer Courthouse Square - Downtown Portland Description:
Shelly's Garden, another name for Honkin' Huge Burritos has been serving up some of the
best burritos in Portland for 17 years. I remember when I was in my last year of school coming down
for an anti-war protest and trying one of her gems. I was hooked. There are only a few carts in
Portland that keep me coming back and Honkin' Huge Burritos is one of them. A Honkin' Huge
Burrito features a grilled flour tortilla with refried pinto beans, fresh Spanish rice, cheddar cheese,
guacamole, romaine lettuce, tomato salsa, and sour cream/or yogurt. There is usually an additional
fresh salsa you can add if you choose. Do you see how simple that is? At first glance, many wonder -
where's the meat? Honestly, you don't need it. An HH burrito will fill you and your small family up
with leftovers. Seriously, I ordered a large once and had it for 3 days. I always order a small and still
it is too much and I like to eat! Thank you Shelly Sandoval and your Honkin' Huge Burritos for being
such a mainstay in downtown Portland this past 17 years. You probably have some great stories. Go
check this gem out and support a long time Portland Food Cart. Menu: Burrito: Small -
$5.75; Medium - $6.25; Honkin' Huge - $6.75 Hours:

UPDATED December 05, 2008 Recommended! Location: SW 10th, between
Alder and Washington
Description: A Vietnamese cart serving rice noodle bowls, grilled dishes, a Bahn Mi sandwich variety or
two, a couple of lesser known Vietnamese options and the great soup export known as Pho. Huong's has also recently expanded their
vegetarian menu. There are now an equal number of vegetarian and meat focused entrees. Once upon
a time I got stuck in Hanoi, Vietnam for an extended, yet unplanned stay. The story of this little
adventure is long and complicated, but the end result? I fell in love with this ancient city, met some
wonderful locals who adopted me as their friend and I absolutely fell head over heals in love with the
food. I especially loved discovering some of the thousands of street stands, carts and humble little huts
serving up some of the best food I've ever eaten, anywhere. Huong's reminds me of the little food
stands I came to love in Hanoi, and in subsequent trips, other parts of Vietnam as well. Especially the
Pho, found at street stands from Sapa on the border of China all the way to the Southern tip of the
Mekong delta. Pho is eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner and as a late night snack all throughout the
country, features many regional variations on a theme, and is cheap, filling and healthy. It's the perfect
cart food really, and I'm excited that Huong's is serving it. [caption id="attachment_258"
align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The best way to eat pho. Note the large Asian spoon."]
Huong's offers three types of pho: pho ga (chicken), pho bo (beef) and vegetarian pho. All come as a
generous portions that could easily provide 2 meals for less ravenous appetites. Huong's phos have
quite aromatic and richly flavored broths, contain a good ratio of broth to rice noodles and are served
with the accompaniments of lime, jalapeno peppers, basil and bean sprouts as well as the standard hot
and savory sauces. For the price of $6.00, Huong's pho certainly stands up to most others in Portland.
My one beef (no pun intended) is that Huong's doesn't offer a nice ceramic or plastic bowl to eat the
stuff at at their little table in situ, but the large paper carton they do provide works just fine. However,
the tiny little teaspoons provided with the wooden chopsticks and paper napkins do not hold more than
an eyedropper of broth at a time and make picking up the noodles, as per Asian noodle soup slurping
custom, impossible. Huong's, please invest in some Asian style soup spoons. My preference given their
current soup spoon situation, is to take the pho back to my office where I can transfer it into my own
large pho bowl to be eaten with my own chopsticks and spoon. [/caption]
Also, Huong's figured out that Portland has a proud, loud and strong vegetarian and vegan community
and is now offering, in addition to vegetarian pho, vegetable and tofu stir fried dishes over rice or
noodles, a lemongrass and tofu dish, and a hearty vegetarian curry. Yes, I checked and these are all
"true" vegetarian dishes in so far as they do not contain the fish sauce or fish oil that is ubiquitous to
many vietnamese dishes. I'm happy to report quality is top-notch and Huong's seems to have hit their
stride making thema pretty nifty new addition to the downtown cart scene. I know Huong's will
become a popular stop for hungry lunch eaters looking for healthy, quick and cheap Vietnamese food.
Sample Menu: 2 salad rolls - (shrimp, pork and vegetables) - $3.00 2 egg rolls
(pork, shrimp and vegetables) - $3.00 Bahn Mi Sandwich -$2.50 Pho Ga - Vietnamese Chicken
Noodle Soup - $6.00 Pho Bo - Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup - $6.00 Rice noodle bowl (with grilled
lemongrass chicken, vegetables and egg rolls) - $6.00 Vegetarian Dish - tofu with mixed vegetables
over rice - $6.00 Stir Fried Egg Noodle - with pork, shrimp and vegetables or vegetarian version-
$6.00 Sweet and Sour Soup with fish balls, squid, pineapple and other vegetables. Served with Rice -

I've wanted to try them out, but as a vegan, it wasn't clear to me that anything, including the tofu,
was vegan. It was called "stuffed"--did you get the impression it was stuffed with pork? You've
got to get down the row to the uninspiringly named but wonderfully tasty 'I Love Thai Food' cart.
They're already running a pretty smooth operation, not quite as quirky as the Corn USA Bento #1
Korean place next door--but charming in their own way, remembering names and favorites after
just a couple visits. So far I've been too hooked on their pad kee mao (among the very best, most
flavorful I've had in town anywhere) and their very fresh, multi-meal green curry to try anything
else. But based on those two--and their Mission-style burrito-sized spring rolls--and the fact that
they stay open till 7 even on Saturdays: I'm smitten.

Hi Ian! I have a hunch all their stuff has some sort of animal product in it. Not sure about the
stuffed tofu. I'll ask them today. However, I'm pretty sure they use fish sauce in copious amounts
in all their food. I will go to I love Thai today. Thanks

Monday (October 13th). Woot!

Walked by today before they opened. Saw at least three new "vegetarian" dishes featured,
including a vegetarian pho, a lemongrass tofu, and a vegetarian curry that featured tofu skins and
some sort of "gluten". So they seem to have taken your advice to heart. Pretty cool if they've
really cut out the fish oil, shrimp paste, etc.

I've been once so far working on our Stumptown Vegans review, and was overhwhelmingly
guaranteed that the veg options were indeed veg. I enjoyed the chewy gluten, though I found the
rice portion of my dish was incredibly larger than the actual curry. I'm not surprised that they
don't have separate friers, though.

the reason why i said "they do not contain meat flavor" is that they always use a separate pan for
their vegetarian dishes. for example, they don't have vegetarian egg rolls because they didn't want
to cook them in the same fryer as the meat egg rolls.

Tried out the vegetarian curry. Can't say I was thrilled by it--it was really heavy on the starches
(sweet potato, regular potato, taro root, plus "gluten," tofu skins, and fried tofu) with no
green/red/purple/etc. veggies. But it was rather sweet, which just tends not to be my preference.
With three times as much coriander & onions as they dropped on the top fresh at the end, it
would've been more flavorful. Still going to try the Lemongrass Tofu and the veggie Pho that they
offer.

just tried their pho today (after the banh mi). and as a vietnamese, i have to say they make the best
pho i've ever had in Oregon. their pho tastes like the pho they have in vietnam. very original.
Ian, i suggest that you go and ask them what they have in their food, don't just assume. As for the
curry, one of my friends said it was good. also, there's no such thing as fish oil in their food (i
asked them based on your comment). also, for vietnamese people, when they say it's vegetarian, it
is vegetarian, which means they do not contain meat flavor. they based it on the Buddhist dishes.
they think that those who don't eat meat might not want any meat flavor in their food at all.
therefore, i hope you go and ask. if they don't have what you want then you can go to a different
place. seems like most of your comments are basically your assumptions. you only tried one of
their dishes, which is not enough to judge them yet. but i have to say, it depends on the person's
taste. i don't like vegetarian dishes, so i might find them boring, but as far as i know, my friends
think they're good. so again, i hope you will get your answers soon.

Banhmiluver-- I hope I didn't come across as overly negative--tried to say "just tends not to be my
preference," knowing others might like they way they do their veggie dishes. And also I indicated
I'll try out other veggie dishes eventually. I didn't really have a concern about the vegetarian-ness
(or not) of their dishes--the fact that they overhauled their menu and included several explicitly
vegetarian dishes makes me think they've done their homework. Not sure quite what you mean by
"means they do not contain meat flavor." Nice people, I still look forward to trying their veggie
pho.

With the demise of Cafe Be Van, Huong's is the only place I get Banh Mi in Portland and they do
the best bánh mì thit theo nuong I've ever had. I grew up in Little Saigon and I'm pretty picky
about my Banh mi. The owners are very friendly and I've spent quite a bit of time talking with the
husband about Vietnam. They owned a Bun Cuon shop in Saigon before the city fell.

I had the chicken pho here and it was good. Chicken pho is very difficult to make, since it can end
up being smelly and downright nasty. But it was good here. No tables or bowls though. So you'll
have to eat at the counter or get it to go with the noodles on the side.

James, Cafe Be Van is not exactly gone. They do have new owners who have created a boring
Americanized menu but they still have Bahn Mi (although they refer to them as "Vietnamese
sandwiches"). I had one the other day. it was pretty good but the bread was a bit lacking. Have
you tried Thanh So Tofu at 103 NE 82nd Ave. I thought their Bahn Mi was pretty good. they also
serve Pho, Banh Uôt and Che

let me first say I have very limited experience with/knowledge of saigon street food, or vietnamese
food in general. However, I had banh mi today for lunch at Huong's, and it was so delicious, so
cheap, and just great. also, wonderful customer service, it was cold out and he gave me a warm
egg roll while I was waiting, then chased me up about two blocks when I forgot my sweet chili
sauce on the counter. great food, great people, great prices.

Well, the weather outside was frightful. Which is why you
haven't seen that much activity on Food Carts Portland lately. There hasn't been much going on really
due to Portland's Snowpocalypse '08 which shut down many of the carts and the city as a
whole. Along with the holidays and my own travel and work commitments, I've also been a twee
busy. I apologize for the lack of recent posts. However, now that we've recovered from the Great
Storm of oh-aught, I do have quite a bit of cart news to report: New Food Cart "Pod" Downtown? I was driving down
SW Naito near Skidmore Fountain (you know, where Saturday Market is located)
and noticed a sprinkling of new carts in one location, including a FISH AND CHIPS
cart. (Yes, Matt
Davis, this one's for you). This might be part of the Mercy Corps sponsored immigrant run food
cart program or something else, but I'll try to walk down there next week and check it out. Do Svidaniya* to Julia's Russian Cart I
don't have the whole story, but sadly it looks like Julia's
Russian Food on SW Alder near 10th has shuttered its window and door and is now closed. The
cart remains, but the sign is gone. I'll miss Julia's warm smile along with her rib sticking and warming
Borscht and tender Pelmini dumplings. If anyone knows the 411 on what happened or where she went,
please let me know. *means, "see you later" in Russian Sugar Cube is on Vacation until April Where is Kir, the
proprietress of our favorite sugar shack, the Sugar
Cube? One rumor reports she fell in love with a strapping Australian surfer and is living in a lanai
on a remote beach in Hawaii. Another says she's cloistered away in a Michelin starred country inn
outside of Lyon, France studying with a world famous pastry chef. However, an investigation reveals
Kir is simply taking a break from the daily food cart grind until the Portland weather is a bit more
stable and warm. However, she is still taking special orders (ahem, Valentines Day cupcakes anyone?)
and can be reached through her website. Don't Panic! Korean Number #1 Bento Did Not Get
Kidnapped by Aliens Number #1
Bento will be reopening for business Monday January 12th. I've received more panicked, OMG
emails over the supposed disappearance of this cart than any other cart news. Ever. It appears this new
comer to the cart scene, and Portland's only Korean cart, located on SW 10th and Alder is very
popular. After a short vacation, they seemingly removed their distinctive yellow cart with the mural of
the dancing corn people on the side and were replaced by a generic silver cart with zero signage.
However, the owner reports they are merely upgrading to allow better offerings and service and will
once again be open for business. I'll admit a big fondness for their killer vegetable over rice Bi-Bim-
Bap, and their lovable Korean grandmothers behind the counter. I'm glad they will soon be back in
action! You Don't Need to Eat Cart Food Outside,
Duh. I posted about this last year, but I think now is a good reminder. Sure, nothing
is better than sharing a garlicky gyro or big box of Thai drunken noodles with your sweetheart in the
park on a sunny day. And despite popular opinion, you don't need an office cubicle to enjoy the daily
Indian mixed plate special or a 4 pound burrito. Because seriously, there are lots of dry, warm and
comfortable places to enjoy food cart food during the winter. Several carts, like the carts on
SE 12th and Hawthorne have covered seating (some with heaters!). The
Galleria on SW Alder/Washington and SW 10th/9th has a ground floor atrium with tables
and chairs. The carts on the park blocks at Portland State University have the wonderful
Smith Center Student center just steps away, while the 4th ave. cart pod near
College and Hall streets has the PSU Engineering Building right across the street. My
favorite cart pod retreat however is the US Bank Tower on SW 5th and Oak. There's
a whole bunch of tables upstairs and the people watching is, well, priceless. It's like being in an
episode of 'The Office' without, well, actually having to work with those wingnuts. Office of Misc. Bric-A-Brac Winter can be a
difficult time for many food cart owners. Lack of pedestrian traffic, things like frozen pipes and now
the current economic slump can equal financial disaster for many of these small entrepreneurs. So,
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FOOD CARTS! Eh-em, outside of that and sadly, this
means we are probably going to see a few more temporary and permanent food cart closures in the
next couple of months. However, sunny spring will no doubt bring a whole blossoming of new carts.
So stay tuned! As always, if you have any news, tips, or ideas please drop me a line here. I can't always be out scouting the food
cart scene 24-7 (and I do travel quite a bit for work), so I'm especially reliant on my wonderful &
astute readers like yourselves to be my eyes and ears on the street. In addition, thanks for all your
support last year and for reading Food Carts Portland. This site is truly a labor of love for me, I make
zero money on it (in fact I lose money), but it really remains a joy to write. And seeing how excited
others get about the food carts in Portland and your feedback here keeps me going. Food Carts
Portland is also starting to receive a lot of national and international media attention, as is Portland's
one of a kind thriving food cart scene. Look for us in a couple of magazine articles soon, as well as a
potential presentation or two at an international food conference. Happy Eating and Bona Fortuna in
2009! Cuisine Bonne Femme

moving to Portland within months. I was thinking about getting into to the food cart business. But
there are a lot of them. What type of food is missing? Will keep in touch. Thank You!

Hi Kirk, Nice to hear from you! Winter is always a tough time for the carts in Portland, but the
recent arctic weather here has really caused havoc. Many of the carts experienced frozen pipes and
inaccessible sidewalks. However, its a nice balmy dry 49 F. here today. Downright tropical. And
time for lunch. I'm thinking the spicy eggplant stirfry at I love Thai on SW 10th...

One unfortunate bit of additional news--'I Love Thai Food' cart has been sold by its lovely original
proprietors Anne & Jay, and while the new owners seem friendly at first--they're
considerably less veg-friendly, less fresh-friendly, much less friendly to suggestions, and less
wallet-friendly. The change in commitment to quality is probably summed up best by the name
change they've come up with: "I Like Thai Food". While originally responding that they could do
any dish vegetarian, further questioning reveals (though not promptly) that in fact only the noodle-
based dishes can be. Unlike 'Love,' they only have chicken stock for their soups and curries--and
so far don't seem to understand that this makes them non-vegetarian; nor do they seem interested
in procuring a veg. alternative, despite being told that doing so would behoove them financially
here in Portland (perhaps they're just hoping most people will take them at their initial word, "yes,
we can do vegetarian"). They also raised the prices of the dishes to $6, decreased portion sizes,
reduced the number of ingredients in the dishes (no more winter squash, no more string beans, no
more mushrooms). A real bummer, because 'I Love Thai Food' was serving some of the freshest,
most vegan friendly, and most affordable Thai in town for a few months, cart-based or otherwise.
Hopefully the new owners will continue to get friendly suggestions to do a little work to become
vegetarian-suitable, whilst losing customers over 'I Love,' until they realise it's a worthwhile
investment.

It's further possible that not even the noodle-based dishes are veg*n, because they definitely don't
have the mushroom-based fish-sauce replacer. Asked to cut the fish oil, any shrimp pastes, any
animal-based stocks and eggs for a Pad Kee Mao, I was confident from the taste that they had
done so--but it pretty much just tasted like oil and noodles, unlike the complex flavors of 'I Love
Thai Food's rendition.

Damn. I loved I love Thai and was planning on writing about them this week. I really really loved
their spicy eggplant. Soon to be cart owner guy, thanks for reading and writing in! There are a lot
of carts, but if you are good, dedicated and in a proper location you should have no problem doing
well. You also need to decide if you want to try to locate downtown or in one of the other
emerging cart areas like Hawthorne, Sellwood or N. Mississippi neighborhood. Your hours,
offerings and demand for what you sell will all be affected by these contingencies. I can't really
answer what is needed. A really good East coast style sandwich (like what Bunk is doing in SE)
would probably do great business, and I've heard lots of screams for a proper British chips wagon.
My advice would be to come to Portland and spend some time scouting the cart scene. Also, it's
very important that you cook and serve what you know best and what you love to cook and eat
yourself. Perhaps some readers can chime in on what they'd like to see and eat?

reception. (Party between 6:00-9:00 in NE) We are trying to find a food cart that would like to

I just wanted to thank you for the great information you have provided, I have only lived in the
area for about a year so I am constantly trying to find good places to eat, I'm very familiar with the
taco trucks from down south but we didn't have any carts in my town. I spend a good deal of time
in the downtown area since I work in the industrial area and getting good food fairly quickly is a
must for me so I will definitely be making my visit to one of the local carts very soon thanks to
you, the Japanese food sounded very tempting, possibly today, thanks again, take care

good for people who just moved here :) Oh, I read from Ian's comment that ‘I Love Thai Food‘
cart has been sold, so today I decided to try out the new cart. The food wasn't as good and I was
sort of disappointed in them :( 'I love Thai Food was one of the best Thai food cart so it's sad to
see that they sold it.

The formerly-known-as-the-Russian cart at 10th & Alder has been bought by a Thai vendor
and is now a Thai place with an emphasis towards the Pho. I had the chicken dumpling soup last
week and it was fabulous. I recommend the new place, and the proprietor was very friendly.

those options. Now I won't have to smell up the whole Max car carrying it home.

***New*** Location: SW Alder and 10th (between 10th
and 11th) Description: Soup for the masses! Soup for the Soul! There is something
so primitively comforting to me about a hot steaming bowl of soup served alongside a grilled cheese
sandwich. It's what I want to eat when I feel blue. It's what inspires me and refuels me when I'm
having a rough day, a good day or simply just want some timber in my belly. Soup is the type of food
to calm ones nerves and revive when the world seems unsteady and uncertain. Soup and
a grilled cheese sandwich is the early lunch food of my roots. It makes me feel safe, warm and loved. It
reminds me of walking home in the cold from school to find a home cooked meal waiting for me in my
parent's cozy, steamy bright yellow kitchen. Yeah, I was lucky that way as a kid. Savor Soup House, a
new cart near the 10th and Alder cart pod, is this kind of nurturing soul food we call crave. Lunch
really doesn't get any better than this. The cart's owner and chef has a commitment to local, high
quality ingredients and is extremely passionate and enthusiastic about her new endeavor using quality
Grand Central bread, and environmentally friendly biodegradable utensils and containers. Beef
Stroganoff with egg noodles, Vegan tomato with orange and fennel, velvety potato with fresh herbs,
Hungarian mushroom with fresh dill, lentil with fried onion topping. The soups are inspired. Take the
SERIOUS CHILI for example, described this way: So serious, you'll lose your sense of
humor. A hearty, thick chili loaded with Angus beef, Italian sausage, tomatoes, and just enough
spice. Or the Smoky SPLIT PEA with fresh herbs soup, which also just so happens to be
vegan: This delicious soup will warm you from the inside-out. Fresh thyme, rosemary
and smoked paprika give this simple soup a ton of great flavor. The menu changes daily,
but this cart usually offers 4 different varieties of house made soup from scratch, a daily stew and a
CHOOSE YOUR OWN GRILLED CHEESE selection. Gruyere with ham and Dijon mustard, or
caramelized onions. Tillamook Cheddar with apple butter or applewood smoked bacon. The
combination of choices is unique and varied. With lots of vegetarian and vegan offerings as well, there
seems to be something to appeal to almost everyone at this spiffy new tan, pink and green cart.
Outdoor seating means you can warm up in the cold and share a friendly conversation with the owner,
or simply take your food to go. (mmmm....too busy eating soup and sandwich to finish this
post...mmmmmm...) Sample Menu: Changes Daily! Please
see the Savor Soup House website for details! Or
call 503-750-5634 Soups- Cup ($3.5), Bowl ($5). All soups come with Grand
Central Bread. Buternut Squash and Apple Bisque Curried Carrott and
Coconut Creamy Tomato Chicken and Matzo Ball Lentil and Onion

I had the Hungarian Mushroom soup yesterday and it was quite excellent. Quite possibly the best
cart meal I've had in quite some time.

I just tried the goods and was really impressed. I got a stew with butternut squash, chickpeas, red
lentils and saffron over brown rice topped with peanuts and fresh cilantro. It was vegan, which is
nice for lunch - filling without being heavy. I even bought a quart of the same to take home for
dinner! Next time I'd like to try the grilled cheese with yummy apple butter or truffle oil. Nancy,
the owner, is a trained chef from Chicago who has worked in many restaurants and owned a
personal chef business. I think she is opening this business at the perfect time - the food is great,
it's local, and it's easy on the wallet. Best of luck!

I had tomato soup yesterday - it was a little too much like eating a thick chunky marinara sauce. It
didn't feel like a soup. But the grilled cheese was fine. I like the concept so I'll be back to check
out the other offerings.

Hey Everybody- thank you so much for commenting and of course to CBF for writing such a
complimentary post! I'm so glad you all have been able to make it down for some lunch. JC- I'm
really sorry you weren't crazy about the tomato soup. I try to encourage everyone to take a sample
so they walk away feeling satisfied with their choice. Be sure to introduce yourself next time and
I'll hook you up with something you like more. :) See you all soon!

The tomato is heavenly and the Beef Stew made me cry tears of joy. Then there's the grilled

i was so excited to find this cart, because nothing beats a grilled cheese with soup. it was okay--
the grilled gruyere was quite mild, and i like my cheese to have bite. the tomato/fennel/orange
soup was tasty, but way too chunky-- felt like eating pasta sauce. i'll probably try it again, because
no fish go fish soup starts to all taste the same after a while, and this is my only known alternative.

The Tress is totally banging and it is really difficult to get a different grilled cheese. I have tap
danced through the daily soups, and while I have been happy overall, I am partial to the chilli,
butternut squash and the mulligatawny. Calamalized onion topping really brings together the
package. Oh what a package. S

Today was my first venture into FoodCardLand, and after strolling around the carts located in the
SW 10th & Alder area, my friend and I decided the build your own grilled cheese options
sounded the best. When we first passed by the cart, a line 6 deep waited eagerly to score some of
Soup Nancy's creations, but thankfully for us (both FoodCartLand Virgins) we found Nancy alone
and had time to chat with Nancy and not anger eager noshers behind us. Thanks for making our
FoodCardLand visit memorable as we will be back! My friend ordered a grilled cheese with
turkey and apple slices, which she man-handled once we sat down to eat. Nancy served me a
grilled cheese with caramelized onions, ham, apples, and dijon mustard that was simply
scrumptious. I could not figure out if my favorite part of the sandwich, so I will have to return to
figure it out; however, I will chat with Soup Nancy again to see what she recommends.

Location: SE 13th and Lexington, Sellwood
Description: If you've ever been 16, hanging out in Tijuana on Avenida Revolucion
on a school night chugging beer, cheap tequila and Cokes and brandy and needed something to eat to
soak it up before waiting in the always slow border line to get back to your suburban San Diego home
before your parents noticed you were gone - you always went to one of the many taco carts dotted
along Revolucion. That first taste of taco I still remember vividly: a simple corn tortilla, some carne,
maybe some cilantro and a squeeze of lemon - pure heaven. And pure simplicity. Unfortunately, many
Mexican restaurants in Portland - especially those offering tacos - drench soppy, sloppy red salsa on
their food that dominates what should be a simple affair. Enter Kiko's Taqueria Uruapan - a cart/coach
in the budding Sellwood food cart mecca. The menu is simple - and is small enough to display in hand-
painted writing on the side of the cart: tacos, burritos, quesadillas and tortas. You don't have to be
loaded on booze or cash or 16 to enjoy the food here either. Not only is the food fresh and delicious,
it's cheap- one dollar for a taco. One dollar. Theoretically one could get lunch for, say,
three bucks. In my opinion, a Mexican restaurant lives or dies by the quality of its carne asada. If you
have to disguise it with non-essential items it's not very good asada. That's why green or red hot sauce
is handed out separately - let your customers do the pouring. So, is Kiko's asada good? Oh yes. It's
moist, flavorful and fresh. And at a dollar a pop, it's even better. The quesadillas are a bit more
expensive at a whopping three dollars. I tried the plain cheese-only version with some hot sauce on the
side and enjoyed it - not very greasy but with a good toasty flavor. On another visit I tried the carne
asada quesadilla and it didn't disappoint. It was a bit greasy - c'mon it's cheese and meat - but it
definitely satisfied my craving. Portions of food at Kiko's aren't huge. But that's cool - the fantastic
flavors make up for it. It's also a simple affair - the way it should be. Sample Menu:
(prices in the $1.00-$6.00 range. A bargain!) Tacos - carne, pork, chicken
Quesadillas Tortas Burritos Look for the daily specials on the chalk board Cash
only! Hours: Monday -Officially Monday - Friday 11:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
/ Unofficially open Saturdays -though they never take down the closed sign. Phone:

I so agree about the dripping sauces ... and dripping melted cheese, too. (Usually, processed
cheese food.)

No one should ever be worried about going hungry. So perhaps you've already donated, or perhaps you've been meaning to get
around to it but please, please, please take a moment to give to the Oregon Food Bank. I can not over
emphasize how much your help is needed right now. Oregon is witnessing some of the highest
unemployment rates in the nation, with many families and individuals simply bordering on their own
economic collapse. In more and more households, food scarcity is becoming an issue. Children and the
elderly are especially at risk. The Oregon Food Bank is doing the best they can, but is also feeling the
pinch; demand is up, donations are down and food reserves are running dangerously low. According to
the Oregon Food Bank, demand for emergency food is at an all time high -up 15% statewide. Please
help. My grandfather Lemuel, a hard scrapple man of the 1930's Depression once told my father that
no matter what, you share your food with someone in need. It's the basis for a civilized society and is a
sin to have so much when others have so little. I take this to heart. "I may not give someone in need
some money, but I will always give them some food," my Grandfather said. You can click on the
above Blog for Food graphic to go directly to the Oregon Food Bank donation page. Otherwise you
can send a check to to the Oregon Food Bank at PO Box 55370, Portland, OR 97238. Please be sure to
mention the Blog for Food Campaign. Even if you can't give money, please consider dropping off
some canned or boxed food goods. Things like rice, beans and other staples are especially needed.
Many supermarkets and businesses have drop off boxes and this month, through March 01, places like
Savaveza on 1004 N Killingsworth, Vino in Sellwood at 1226 SE Lexington and the Gilt Club at 306
NW Broadway are accepting donations. Thanks for making a difference and for helping out.

Sounds promising! Thanks, CBF. Maybe possible to implement "later hours" and/or "open
weekends" type tags? Oh--and rumor is there might be good news re: the folks formerly known as
I *Love* Thai Food, according to someone posting on stumptownvegans.com-- sounds like the
owners plan to open a new cart in March?! Doubtful it'll be a few-minutes walk from my house,
but will still be better than I *Like* Thai Food. . .

Location: SW Alder
and 9th (between 9th and 10th) Description:
Maybe it's the weather, but I've been on a beef pho soup kick lately by "researching" different dishes
throughout the Portland metro area, including the wonderful Lavang Restaurant in Lake Oswego [near
my former work and in a non-descript shopping center] and most recently Pho Dalat, where I had a
decent bowl of pho served with traditional herbs, greens and other accompaniments for a reasonable
price. If push comes to shove, I can survive on noodles and broth alone. A couple weeks back I found
myself at food cart ground zero downtown at SW 9th and Alder [a not so subtle reference to the block
of some of Portland's best food carts] and spied a recent newcomer: Mai Pho
Vietnamese. By nature, or habit, I quickly ordered the beef pho without
really scoping out the other menu offerings. Admittedly I realize I have been missing out on some
great food from the various Vietnamese restaurants around town by ordering only the pho, though I did
notice other tempting dishes from the simple menu while waiting for my pho at the tiny, colorfully
decorated cart. The pho, available in beef, chicken or tofu, comes served in a 32 oz. paper bowl and
lid - with most ingredients already mixed in the dish for you. My dining partner ordered the
Lemongrass Noodle Salad with chicken. It smelled incredibly edible and I immediately started to feel
the pangs of food envy. The service was fast and the owner was very friendly. In no time we had
our food and off we went to empty Dawn of the Deadesque Galleria to enjoy lunch. A good pho is
only as good as the beef stock used to make it. Sure, freshness counts with the ingredients, usually
basil, mint, bean sprouts and chile. But if the broth doesn't cut it, the dish is doomed. My point? As we
sat down I clumsily grabbed the top of the container and proceeded to spill about 80% of the broth
onto the table and floor. [Yeah, I'm that guy.] My dining companion was very gracious in not rolling
with laughter; instead, gathering up some paper towels and helping me mop up the precious broth. So
how was the beef pho without most of the essential broth? Good. Very good and very flavorful. Still
moist and even a bit more complex with some of the flavors that are usually reserved as second players
getting a shot to shine what they offer in the absence of the broth. Another visit was warranted, so a
few days later, we hit up the cart again, but this time I opted for what my partner had on the previous
trip: Lemongrass Noodle Salad with Chicken. Like the pho, options include beef, chicken, or tofu.
And like the pho, the ingredients were fresh and delicious. Mixed with fresh greens, vermicelli
noodles, chicken lightly coated in a batter and a light side sauce that was part sweet and part savory,
the dish was well worth the $6. And a bonus: I didn't drop it this time. Quick takes: · If you're
really hungry you can add an appetizer with your entrée. Prices range from $3.00 to $5.00 and some
servings look like they could make a whole meal. · Unfortunately only one dish, spring rolls, was
vegetarian. · The meal would have been perfect with a nice, cold pale ale. Sample Menu: Appetizers - Crab puffs (6) $4 Vegetarian Spring
Rolls (3) $3.00 Pork Egg Rolls (3) $3.50 Shrimp & Pork Salad Roll $3.50 Tofu Salad Roll (2)

Thanks e-play. I do believe you are talking about the Brunch Bunch on SW 5th...yes, look for a
write up here soon. In addition, I am planning on a forums section here at some point where
readers can write in with new cart tips, closure info and can announce carts looking for spaces and
spaces looking for carts. However, this is going to require a bit of time and back end
programming so please be patient! In the meantime, please feel free to contact me directly using
the CONTACT form on this website. Thanks!

Hey, is there somewhere on this site when we can alert you to new carts when I find them? I don't
want to tamper with the thread of Mai Pho (which I just tried last week, thanks to your site..good
stuff) but I want to make sure you have heard there is a new cart on 5th that makes homemade
english muffins for your breakfast sandwich and they are yummy.

I've eaten here twice, and the food is really quite good. The woman who runs it is a one woman
show, but she doesn't skimp on quality ingredients or quantity. The chicken Pho is chicken soup
for the soul, for sure. Really, really tasty, fresh and balanced broth. My only beef (ha, ha, "beef"
get it), is that those paper Pho containers are really precarious. It's easy to spill them and they
aren't conductive to the whole Pho experience, ditto with the small shallow spoons. I don't have a
solution, but some budding PDX entrepeneur should make some sturdy biodegradable Asian Soup
Bowl containers, lids and Asian style soup spoons. I know there is a market for them.

I noticed this cart just the other day as I was walking back towards the Square with a Bahn Mi
from the other Vietnamese cart. I'll have to try it out, though it's almost too warm for Pho at this
point (personally I need <40 degrees outside for brothy soup).

They have several dishes on the menu that are supposed to be vegetarian, not just spring rolls. The
pho is listed as "beef, chicken, vegetarian". The noodle salad with egg rolls could be made with
the veggie rolls, too, and the lemongrass noodle salad should also be vegetarian. It's always good
to confirm that there's no fish sauce used, but based on the menu they had up yesterday, they
should have three entrees that are vegetarian. The sauces for the noodle salads appeared to be
served separately, so getting a fish-sauce free sauce should also be pretty simple, if they aren't
vegan by default.

I have eaten at this cart so many times I‘ve lost count! I‘ve tried pretty much all the items on her
menu and would say the Lemongrass Noodle Salad with chicken, the Beef Pho, and the
Pork‘n‘Shrimp Salad Rolls with homemade peanut sauce are my top favs!! The owner is a
wonderful addition to the cart-city there…a one woman show with a friendly disposition! She
doesn‘t skimp on fresh ingredients and the balance of all the flavors makes it a for sure stop on
many of my downtown visits!

Location: SW 9th and Alder Description: Sawasdee is one of the oldest, and one of the most
popular Thai carts on the scene, simply because they are so good. Fresh ingredients, big portions and a
deft touch give them balanced and satisfying offerings. Where some Thai carts go a bit overboard with
the soy and grease, Sawasdee has a lighter touch. Sawasdee makes standards like red, yellow and
green curries, fried rice, noodle dishes and stir fries. They also are one of the few Thai carts to offer
both white or brown rice. I'm particularly fond of their fried rice with pineapple and cashew. Oh, and they are often open on Saturdays!
Catering available. Please call Sunny at 503-330-2037 Kwap Koon Khah Sawasdee! (Thank you very
much). Sample Menu: Soups -
Tom Yum or Tom Kha (with coconut milk) - $6.00 Salad Rolls - $3.00 Curries - House curry (red
curry with peanut sauce), red curry, green curry, or yellow curry Stir Fried - chicken ($6.00), shrimp
($7.00), or tofu ($6.00). garlic lover (mushroom, onion, broccoli, carrot), spicy basil (bamboo shoot,
bell pepper, mushroom, onion, basil), emerald (cabbage, mushroom, carrot, broccoli and peanut sauce).
Noodles - chicken ($6.00), shrimp ($7.00), or tofu ($6.00). Pad Thai, pad kee mao (onion, basil,
bellpepper, mushroom, or eggs), pad se ew (cabbage, broccoli, carrot and eggs). Fried Rice - chicken
($6.00), shrimp ($7.00), or tofu ($6.00). Spicy, pineapple with cashews, curry or regular.

I would say this is my fave Thai cart, too, of the ones I've tried. Less of a gut bomb/oil blob. My
favorite dish is their pumpkin curry - it's on the specials menu, I think, but it seems to be there
most of the time, and they use kabocha squash, which is this lovely sweet-meltiness in contrast
with the spicy curry.

Description: A sample of Asian street food delights from Singapore to Shanghai! A
few months back I received an e-mail from a woman interested in opening an Asian cuisine based food
cart. She asked me what kind of food I thought she should serve. I didn't even flinch when I spit out the
following, ...things like Malaysian roti flatbreads and curries, stir fried Chinese noodles,
Shanghai soup dumplings (also known as xio long bao), and Vietnamese Bahn-Mi sandwiches. You
know, food found in some of the best Asian street food cities. Yum, I'm hungry just thinking about
it. The owner knew exactly what I was talking about and replied, Oh my
god it's like you are reading my menu right now! I'm originally from Hong-Kong, and you know we
Chinese, and Asians in general, are all about good street food. We practically obsess over
it. Well, yes I do know because I've been to Hong Kong and eating, especially eating at
food carts, seems to be that city's number one past time. I was excited we might get a little more of it in
Portland. Thus Asian Station was born. In a city swarming with Thai carts (nothing wrong with that by
the way), Asian Station is taking a different route along the spice trail and serving street food one
might encounter in multi-cultural food meccas such Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and yes, Hong Kong of
course. These are things like the well loved and elusive (hard to find in Portland) Shanghai Soup Dumplings. A bit like dim-sum
type steamed potstickers, these meat dumplings magically retain little bursts of steaming hot broth on
the inside making for a perfectly filling, but not heavy lunch. Trust me, this is a taste sensation you do
not want to miss, although Asian Station warns to call 10-15 minutes ahead so they can make them
fresh to order. Or, try one of the combo meals with things like Vietnamese caramelized chicken wings
served with rice and green papaya salad ($6.50), yellow chicken curry with rice and pot-stickers
($6.00) , or a grilled chicken with roti (a wonderful Malaysian flatbread) ($6.00). Other items include
dim-sum specials (revolving types and prices), Spicy Garlic and Chicken chow-mein ($6.00), and a
Vietnamese chicken Bahn-Mi Sandwich for $4.50. Asian Station has refined their menu over the past year, adding
some vegetarian/vegan options like tofu to substitute for chicken in some of the dishes. Overall, this is
a wonderful new addition to the downtown cart scene and has developed devoted fans over the past
year. Their commitment to quality and their customers is bar none. As the owner wrote to me,
I think my heart and soul is in serving the absolute best because it means a lot to me --
it's the perfectionist side of me and food feeds not only the stomach, but to me, it feeds the
soul. Good words for good food indeed. Sample Menu: see the Asian Station Website for details
Hours: Mon-Fri 11ish to 3ish. Sometimes open on Saturdays. Call to confirm!

Had lunch here for the first time today. (As in I just placed my empty take out box in the trash.) ---
Mel, working the cart today, was so enthusiastic about the food and offered me a sample of a
shrimp dumpling (that's not on the menu) that was perfect! Shrimp, dumpling - perfectly steamed
and flavoured. Didn't even need sauce to enjoy it though the Siracha was nice. I had the curry and
even tried the flatbread. Great service, great food (easily will be one of my stand-bys), great Mel
... "put the shrimp dumplings on the menu!!" So worth passing the other carts for a diversity of
asian street food flavors. Though the menu is limited, what they do, they do well. Thanks!

A friend recommended this cart to me. I am currently sitting here enjoying their pork dumplings,
and couldn't even wait to finish them to make this posting. They are SO GOOD! I could eat them
all day long. They are really filling me up, but they are also light and not making me feel gross, as
other cart food tends to do. The person who ran the cart was also extremely friendly and really
went out of his way to make me feel welcome. A great experience!

I called this cart when the owner, Mel, was getting ready to close down for the day. He offered to
stay thru my order, even though I explained that wasn't necessary. When I picked up my order
"Shanghai soup dumplings" he had also made a couple of pork dumplings that he just threw in. I
was amazed at how DELICIOUS it all was. I got back to my office and was offering a soup
dumpling to a couple friends because I couldn't experience them by myself!! I will definately
return!

Hi everyone. We have added a couple new items to our menu. 1. Spicy Sichuan Mein -- a thick
spicy and garlicky sauce very similar to a Dan Dan Mein sauce over noodles. 2. Asian Hoisin
Sandwich -- Hoisin glazed baked tofu or chicken in a soft french roll topped off with a sweet chili
asian slaw. We are also going to serve some veggie only potstickers soon. We had a lot of
requests for some vegetarian/meatless options and the above items are definitely in that category.
Come on down and give it a try! Thank you. Cindy

I know this is a tough request, but is there any way you could come up with vegan xiao long bao?
They were one of my favorite foods when I lived in Hong Kong, but I haven't had one since I
stopped eating meat seven years ago and it's killing me! There are vegan substitutes for gelatin
that I think would work well in holding the soup together (agar and others), and the filling could
be seitan or tofu or gluten or just vegetables. I would love you forever if you made these and
come eat them all the time!

I love maps. I really, really do. Sometimes I get these emails from other map lovers too. They
generally sound like this, Dear Cuisine Bonne Femme, Have you ever thought about
making one BIG map of all the food carts in Portland? I
usually answer, Great Idea! I'm a bit too busy stuffing my face with a chile relleno
burrito from a food cart right now to make any maps, but have you checked out the more than
absolutely wonderful AUDREY'S FOOD CART
MAP of Portland? Well, you should. (Thanks for being so fantastique Miss Audrey.
And thanks for being so very open source and for allowing me to steal use your data. It's folks like you that make Portland so very, very cool indeed).

Thanks for mentioning the map! It's publicly editable through Google Maps, so anyone can add
and update carts. If you haven't worked with custom maps before, there's a guide here:

I really do wish you'd have one of your interns update Audrey's map with all of your latest
reviews. For instance, I see no "Bro Dogs" on Audrey's maps. And I am really too busy stuffing
my face to do it for you.

NOW OPEN FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS 2 ~ 8 ! Homemade Ice Cream
Only..More Open Times and Panwiches coming soon! Check out updates at Rudy's new website: Everything is new, new, new!
Location: The lot next to 4734 N. Albina (on N. Albina near the corner of N.
Blandena) Description: To describe this neat orange cart as specializing in
"*panwiches and ice cream", is to say Alice in Wonderland is merely a book about a girl and a rabbit.
For eating at Junior Ambassadors is to transport yourself to another world. I guarantee you there is no
other food cart like this anywhere else. Well, in this stratosphere at least. Perhaps they eat like this all
the time in the land of Mostlandia, a
topsy-turvy place inhabited by the likes JR. Ambassadors' owner Rudy Speerschneider. For you see,
Rudy is a mad food cart scientist. An evil gourmet genius. The Salvador Dali of the Portland food
carts. A poet the likes of Ferlinghetti with a griddle. A cook
who shares certain DNA with Alice B. Toklas. A man who basis his menu on dreams and
premonitions. Inspired by the seasons and whatever force of nature artistic muse possesses his spirit.
I'm not kidding. [caption id="attachment_183" align="alignright" width="224" caption="Rudy with
his signature Mostlandian panwiches"][/caption] But is the
food good? Yes. Very Good. Made fresh and made with care, everything I've had here is balanced and
a delight on the tongue. Satisfying to the tummy and presented with flair. First off there are
the panwiches. Described by Rudy as, "*griddled cornmeal and whole wheat
pancakes are the bread, panini grilled.*" These sandwiches (of sorts) are like flavorful toothsome soft
bread paninis stuffed with all sorts of goodness. They are wonderfully inventive and include things
such as the Turkey Ruby - "like a Reuben, but with a homemade Applekraut ( red cabbage ) &
Swiss cheese, Tangy sauce, on the New Rye Panbread", or the Tuna Melt (the time I tried it, it was
made on a cornmeal panbread, and contained Lime-Cilantro, Tomatoes, & Cheddar cheese). Sides
for the panwiches include a refreshing ginger slaw or Cheez-Its. It's like comfort food made by your
mom. If your Mom was Bjork. Soups are whimsical but substantial
and rotate daily. I could never do the descriptions justice, so I'll just let Rudy do the talking:
The soup of the day is not only guided by the season, but also the weather. Like Split Pea
on a foggy day or a brothy stew on an under the weather day, or a goulash on a muddy
day. Finally, In Rudy's world, ice cream is not just a dessert but is
perfectly fine anytime. Indeed, Rudy states Mostlandians consume almost every meal and beverage in
ice cream form and well, that's something this Portlandian can certainly groove on. Thus, the menu
guide is divided into breakfast ice creams such as (cantaloupe or maple syrup "strip tease bacon"),
lunch ice creams (caprese sundae, strawberry chipotle), dinner ice creams (coconut curry, corn on the
cob), snack ice creams ( ginger snap cookies n' basil, or chocolate and pretzel stick), drink ice creams
(green tea, apple cider for example), and dessert ice creams that are a bit more mainstream (chocolate,
orange, etc.) [caption id="attachment_184" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="We All Scream
for Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Ice Cream!"][/caption] At first I was
horrified, then intrigued, then amused by the thought of the Smoked Salmon and Cream
Cheese Ice Cream Sundae. Yes, you read that right - Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Ice
Cream (WTF?). Then I tried it. Whoa. Riddle my taste buds. It was...delicious. It took my brain a
couple of minutes to compute the cold, the creamy, the savory, the smoky fish and sweet of the cream
cheese together with the added elements of dill and capers. But be damned, it somehow all worked in
harmony. Served with flat bread type crackers and a sprinkle of dill and caper relish it was the bagel
and cream cheese as reinvented by leading molecular chef Ferran Adria. Seriously,
it was wonderful. Yes, it might all sound a bit out there and obtuse, perhaps even childlike. And yes, it
is certainly different than your standard Pad Thai, burrito or Indian combo cart meal. Yet there is
something entirely charming, entirely transportive and entirely satisfying about the food at Junior
Ambassadors. Plus covered seating, amusements like a chess board and the friendly chef/owner make
this cart a wonderful addition to the Portland food cart scene. Highly recommended. Sample
Menu: (changes frequently. Be sure to check out their WEBSITE) Spring PANWICHES: Griddled
cornmeal and whole wheat pancakes are the bread, panini grilled. Served with side of house made
ginger Slaw or Cheez-its or Soup (add $1.50). TURKEY RUBY ~ like a Reuben, but with a
Applekraut ( red cabbage ) & Swiss cheese, Tangy sauce, on the New Rye Panbread. ~ $6 VEG
OUT ~ a roasted & seasoned assortment of vegetables with melted cheese ( Currently: Red
Peppers, Zucchini, Sweet Onion, Garlic & Feta. ) ~$6 TUNA MELT ~ with Lime-Cilantro,
Tomatoes, & Cheddar cheese. ~$6 GRILLED CHEESE ~ with Sharp Cheddar & Blue
Cheese. ~$5 ( Peanut Butter and Jelly is always available ~ $4 ) * homemade ICE CREAM: Flavors
change with the season and as each new batch that has to be made. $2.50 a scoop ~ $4.50 for two
scoops ~ $6.50 a pint ~ Crazy Ice Cream Flavor of the Week: Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese
Sundae (yup, that‘s right…topped with Dill sprinkles and a Capers relish, served on a Cracker. ) Ice
Cream Flavors ―On Scoop‖: Gingersnap Cookies & Basil Maple Strip Tease Coconut Curry

i cant recommend this cart enough. i scoffed at first at the ice cream flavors, thinking they were
mere gimmick. i think it was one with basil that finally won me over. now i am sad when i miss a
flavor. and other semi-odd flavors i have seen tried elsewhere (cider comes to mind), but never
seem as good as jr ambassadors. (seriously, the cider was so apple-y that it seemed impossible it
wasnt ruined by ice crystals or bad texture... and i lucked out and got it served with cinnamon
donuts -- a mix that rudy and i talked about not being common on the west coast. fresh cider at
the mill, with cinnamon donuts of course.) go, and have some flavorful fun.

I visited this cart over Memorial Day weekend. I had asparagus almond ice cream and my friend
tried the strawberry chipotle. Both were great - the asparagus was light & springy, not
overpowering and a nice match with the almond flavor. The strawberry had an awesome boost of
smokyness after the sweet strawberry flavor slid down your throat. The cart guy was super
friendly and showed us his cart set-up. The location is one of the nicer spots I've seen for a cart -
several shady tables near the cart, plus a little hike up a hill to a big grassy expanse, perfect for
lazy day lounging.

Location: SW 5th, between Oak and Stark
Description: Welcome to the strip Brunch Box. So excited for you to join us. The
Brunch Box is a new cart in the 5th avenue cart pod where Matlocks used to be. They've only been
open a couple of weeks now and you can see by their menu, they are making it a go with a broad array
of lunch choices. I love how new carts quickly take over a space and make it their own. Brunch Box
specializes in sandwich and burger fare. They also do breakfast. I was lamenting earlier this winter
that there weren't any breakfast carts that could serve me up a breakfast bagel or sandwich and what
not. The other morning, I ventured to Brunch box for a yummy homemade English muffin, egg and
cheese breakfast sandwich. So good. That English muffin was so fresh, I could still taste the baking
going on. Talking with the owners, they stated the muffins had come out of the oven only 20 minutes
before I arrived. Oh, and looking around, they were one of 2 breakfast spots at 8am. I see success. And
for $3, it beats any other breakfast sandwich downtown unless you're opting for fast food at the mall.
When I first discovered
Brunch Box, I thought they were an old cart that just revamped the menu, but then I took a closer look.
They had burgers. Not just any old $5 burger, but a $3 burger and then more options for more money.
I opted for $6 OMG burger because A) anyone who incorporates texting speak into food names is a
win in my book and B) I hadn't had spam with a burger yet. Yup, SPAM! and bacon. and egg. The
burger was put together with care and wrapped well so I could transport it over to my lunch eating spot
at the US Bank Tower. When I bit into it, I was in heaven. Everything was proportionate and stayed
together while I munched it down. It was messy, but what do you expect from an OMG burger? I
would suggest grabbing a few extra napkins if you order one. The meat was cooked just right - not
well done and the egg was firm enough not to drip the yellow guts all over everything else. After
finishing and having a mild heart arrhythmia, I vowed I would go back. And I did for the
aforementioned breakfast. I will become a regular at this cart. The owners are nice and friendly and
they have a great menu for everyone. If you are downtown, check them out and tell them Food Carts

I can attest to the quality of this cart. I adored my burger there the other day. Fresh, big and lots of
fresh vegetables. One of the owners is a former manager from Voodoo Donuts by the way.

*gingerly scuffs sidewalk/blushes* Aww, shucks. Brunch Box <3s foodcartsportland too!
Thanks for the warm and generous review! A few words: I made a minor menu error, there's
spam on the "5-oh! Burger" instead of the subsequent "Reuben burger"; Our email is
brunchboxpdx@gmail.com and we're currently on facebook, here; And we are
always open to customer's menu suggestions. There will now be two people present for lunch
rushes (we're happy too). Check out our St.Patrick's Special--"JLT's Fatty McPaddy" (There's
beef hash, fried egg, and potato involved!), and an upcoming special by request--spam musubi!
Huzzah for Portland food carts!

delicious. I can't wait to give breakfast a try. This spot could prevent me from venturing out and
trying new locations for quite sometime. Cheers!

So cheap, so generous with the toppings and condiments, great all around...they will be getting a
lot of my food cart money, even at those OMG! prices.

Brunchbox, once again you have come through with another wonderful lunch today. Can I also
say that your AM coffee is delightful. I'm not always hungry for breakfast (though I do say, there
is nothing finer than the bec on a fresh muffin...), but you do the simple things, like a good cup of
coffee FOR A BUCK, very well. Thanks for your attention to the details.

I TRY ;-) to not be drawn to Brunch Box, but I seem to fail. My breakfast a couple times a week...
a grilled cheese sandwich (Swiss or American) with their great coffee. They make the most
delicious burgers... Ruben --- YUM 5oh --- YUM Black and Blue --- YUM
youcanhascheeseburger --- oh my... I don't eat a lot... and I knew this was a BIG sandwich. So I
expressed my concern at ordering... and was told, many just eat half and save the rest for later...
WELL, YES, I stopped after I ate half... for about 10 minutes, then went back! and finished it off.
So yep their food is great... but best of all, the are wonderful people. They keep things fresh... and
they do at times run out of meat or muffins... but we should thank them for this happening...
because of the YUM factor!

Our machine was supposed to arrive about a month ago, but due to address errors was sent back to
the co. and then resent twice. Ha! Our rep assures us it will be here Monday, according to tracking
info. Simple setup, so provided there's no unforseen wackiness, we should accept credit/debit
starting Monday 7/13.

Best Burger in town. I've been there twice. The first time I dared to split (alright, so it was with
my bare hands, but what else was I supposed to do) the grilled cheese "You can" burger with a 20-
something who was "broke and traveling"--or, at least that's what his cardboard sign said. I looked
back minutes later to see that he was throwing the half away. I asked first if he was a veggie, so it
must have been because of the germs. Beggers can't be choosers buddie. You've ruined it for
others in the future. Bottom-line: too good to share.

hi CBF - One of the things I really enjoyed about the food carts in PDX, was that each had it['s
own, for the lack of my ablility to really explain, "personality"...some of those carts add such
vibrance and color to the neighborhood.

It may be of interest to folkks that the man does the cooking while the woman takes your order.
They are both really nice. I like the chili relleno burrito - a great vegetarian option (but not strictly
vegetarian, since they use the same grill for meats, and certainly not vegan!!! ).

If you go, try the Al Pastor. It is very good. I typically get the Torta with All pastor as the bread
blends well and soaks up the yummy juices. The tacos are a bit lighter and focuses on the flavor of
the Al Pastor pork.

Taqueria Villanueva is by far THE best Mexican food cart in downtown Portland. The owners are
so sweet and truly want to see your happy face when you eat their food. You go there enough and
you almost feel like you're family. Plus, the usuals are pretty fun to talk to too. Aside from that,
the food is amazing! Tamales, enchiladas, tacos, burritos...ALL delicious. I like the quesadillas too
but they tend to be on the greasy side. My partner and I can't get enough of this place!....I mean
we eat Mexican food four times a week...can't get enough! If you want good Mexican food and
good company, Taqueria Villanueva is the way to go.

Location: SW 4th Ave. in between College and Hall streets (near PSU) Description: I have no idea about the name Inter
Selects and what it has to do with Thai food. However, I do know that this cart is pumping out one of
the largest Thai cart menus with far from the standard Portland Thai cart fare. In addition, this cart
wins the cart award for most menu photos. The menu is blasted all over the cart, and someone in the
operation must be a passionate photographer, because all the food looks fantastic. Sure, you can get your Pad Thai or green curry cravings met, but dig
a little deeper and you'll discover one of my favorite Thai salads: Som Tom. I call it the "Thai
Coleslaw". Shredded green papaya and carrots, mashed together with peanuts, tomatoes and a spicy
lime/fish sauce dressing. Served with sticky rice and the BBQ chicken, this is the essence of Thai street
food. For an Isaan Thai treat (Isaan is a Northeast region of Thailand), try the larb ground chicken
salad. Stirfried dishes like the Ginger Perfect with your choice of sliced meat or tofu and fresh ginger,
mushrooms, celery and onions is a standout. As is the rib sticking hearty muslim inspired Musaman
Curry (Musaman means muslim in Thai) with potatoes, carrots and meat in a deep red curry sauce.
Inter Selects is also one of the few Thai carts serving Thai Dim-Sum type dumplings and fried treats
like fried chicken or the decadent Heavenly Chicken - ground chicken and spicy seasonings bundled in
a crepe like wrapper and fried to a golden crunch. Inter Selects. Whatever the name means or comes
from, I don't care. The food here is darn good. Sample Menu: The
Menu is far too big to list all of it here. In addition, they have a printed menu that they gave me, but it
doesn't really match up with everything they offer. (Prices are in the $3.00 to $7.00 range, but you can
grab the standard lunch stuff for around $5.50. A bargain!) Summer Rolls (tofu) - $3.00
Spring Rolls (vegetarian) Satay Chicken Steamed Vegetable Dumplings
Tom Kah Kai (coconut) soup Tom Yum Chicken Soup Pad Thai Noodles
Drunken Noodles Fried Rices (variety of different types including curry and
pineapple/cashew) Variety of different stir fry dishes Variety of different curries
(red, yellow, green, musaman, panang, etc) Fried or Grilled chicken with sticky rice and som
tom papaya salad Hours: Generally lunch - late afternoon Mon-Fri. Call

Thanks Sarah! I think it's hard to say which is better. I've found, especially with the Thai carts,
that a lot of it is about individual preference. Also, some carts seem to specialize in one or two
dishes, so one cart might have the best pad Thai in the city and everything else might be merely
fine, while another cart may have killer curries, but their fried rice might be meh. I say try it for
yourself, and to each his own!

I had a stir fry here, and it was so oily that it seeped all the way through the rice and left pools in
the bottom of the container. The pictures are great, drew me in, but the reality... not so much.
Possibly just a bad day, bad order, whatever.

I've given this cart two tries, and it's failed me miserably both times. On my first visit, I asked for
a recommendation and ended up with the Pad See U. I ended up with scant amount of broccoli a
pile of greasy, tasteless noodles who's only saving grace was that they were piping hot - so much
so that the plastic tray started to melt - yikes! Next visit I gave the Tokyo Wraps a try. $5 later I'm
eating what should have run me $2 - a smallish flour tortilla (grilled nicely) filled with so-so
tasting teriyaki chicken and (WTF?!?) mayo. The lettuce in the picture was missing from my wrap
and the mayo surprise was an appetite buster - not to mention the absurd ratio of tortilla (too
much) to chicken (not near enough).

I tried this place Friday afternoon, and was pleased with my Basil Chicken. It was a bit on the
greasy side, but not enough so to be a problem - it was tasty, on the spicy side, and cheap.

I have to agree with the comments about it not seeming NEARLY as good as you found it, CBF. I
had the larb (chicken), which I love, but I know it to be a salad-y concoction of minced chicken,
herbs, shallots, maybe rice powder, etc, and very refreshing. At Inter Select, it was steaming hot
and somewhat paste-like, and so incredibly salty it was hard to eat. I love salt and probably eat far
too much of it, so it was shocking to have to throw away some food because of over-salting. Also,
the accompanying rice was pre-steamed in a saran-wrap pouch, so it had a bad texture. And the
portions were kind of small, too (w/a tip of the hat to Woody Allen). Far better is Boonrod around
the corner. Bonus: lovely people run that cart and the portions have always been generous.

I just tried their Pad Thai and it was HORRIBLE. I'm so disappointed. it was so bad, I felt
compelled to cal them and let them know how bad it was. He was nice on the phone and offered to
replace my meal but I work several blocks away, don't have the time to walk back to get a
replacement dish. I'm not sure if I would want one based on what I am stuck with now.

[Updated Nov. 2009: Best of Kazakhstan has closed. The cart has re-opened as Creperie.] Location: SW 5th between Oak and Stark Streets
Sometimes I feel like eating at the many Portland food carts scattered about town is like being on a
gourmet version of the It's a Small World After All ride at Disneyland without all the
freaky dancing, singing robot puppets and Saccharine headache inducing music. Today's stop on the
world cuisine express: Kazakhstan! Hold the Borat jokes please. This
shiny, shiny new cart is a welcome addition to the SW 5th Ave. "Cart Row" and so far has a teeny-tiny
menu, but it looks quite promising. Even though "BofK" is only offering about 7 different menu items
right now, most of them are vegan, making them a terrific alternative to all the heavy meat offerings
found at most carts. And you may not know I'm a lover of all things okra (yes, I know okra, love it or
loathe it), so I'm happy to report Best of Kazakstan is serving one of my favorite stews found all over
the Middle East: the okra and tomato spice laden Bomae (sometimes spelled Bayme or Baymia). It's
like a middle eastern version of vegetarian gumbo and is certainly akin to Kazakh soul food. Other menu items include fresh made to order grilled shish-kebab, beef
kofta and the spicy vegetable noodle soup known as Lagman. Most entrees come with a generous
portion of rice and a salad. Drinks are limited to a few soft drinks for $1 each. With the demise of the
wonderful Arabic King of Rice cart near Portland State University, I'm happy Best of Kazakstan is
filling the rice cuisine inspired void in cart land. Welcome to the Portland cart scene! Sample
Menu: Chicken Shish Kebob with rice and salad - $5.25 Kofta seasoned
grilled beef with rice and salad - $5.25 Salad of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and seasoning
- $2.95 Lagman vegetable noodle soup with lagman spices and red pepper - $5.00
Gulpi (cauliflower stew with tomatoes, onions and spices) served with rice and salad - $5.25
Lubyo rice, red beans, vegetables and seasonings - $5.25 Bomae okra and tomato stew with
salad and rice - $5.25 [caption id="attachment_700" align="alignleft" width="224"

I keep looking for this cart on 5th between Oak and Stark and haven't seen it yet. Has it been out
of commission lately, is it somewhere else, or am I just blind? I love okra and want to really try
the bomae.

Finally made it over today, and got the bomae (okra) and sampled the gulpi (cauliflower). Both
were very tasty--rich, simple, comfortable, perhaps slightly on the salty side for some tastes--and
were balanced very nicely by the jasmine/basmati rice and the simple tomato/red pepper salad, all
with a slice of lime. Definitely falling somewhere between Indian, Persian, Provençal, Lebanese
and Louisianan, it was tomato-based joy. Hearty but far from heavy fare, a nice lighter addition to
the cart scene; not the two-meal portions one often associates with the carts, but seemed
reasonable to me for $5.50. And true to what others have said, the proprietors were wonderfully
friendly and happy to have a vegan diner. I will definitely be back regularly.

I wanted to like this cart -- it was, after all, my first taste of Kazakhstani food, and I was excited
about that. I had the bomae, the okra/tomato dish on jasmine rice. It was, well, fine. I guess I was
expecting something more interesting. It struck me as a fairly simple Indian-style dish. The salad
that came with it made me a little sad, with its iceberg lettuce. Perhaps I was expecting too much -
- something more different, that was conjured up in my mind by the name Kazakstan. Or maybe
this cart is more beloved by vegetarians/vegans?

I tried the Bomae and though it was very good. It was very close to Indian okra curries I've had
around town, but with slightly different spices. And the salad was a nice touch -- makes the meal a
little lighter than the $6 lunch special at (New|Real) Taste of India. I'll definitely come back to try
the cauliflower and the soup.

I've tried a couple things off the menu here, and everything was tasty and a great bargain..Really
friendly folks running this cart, too. A nice alternative to the usual Thai and Indian options
downtown.

I had the noodle soup today and it was AMAZING! Really light broth and fresh veggies and beef.
Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Plus the women who work there are really
sweet and are happy to give (huge) samples of the food before you order. Definitely not your
typical heavier cart food!

I had the vegetable beef noodle soup today. Very delicate flavor and a super good value. I am
excited to try everything else on the menu too. They will let you sample any dish before you get it
and my gawd they were SO friendly.

Wish I knew! So far, it's just a rumor posted over at stumptownvegans.com from someone who
says they spoke with the proprietors and were told they would be returning. But I haven't heard
any new information since then : \

ha! so it's on my site, that's funny. ; ) I'm keeping my eyes open - saw a newish, colorful Thai cart
near the Park blocks on NW Couch yesterday with $5 prices and tofu mentioned a lot, but it wasn't
open so I couldn't ask about vegan stuff.... I might post about it on yelp...

Well--I'd have to say the one at Couch & North Park blocks is not our dearly missed I Love
Thai Food under a new name--ingredients were different, portions smaller, everything less
flavorful. It wasn't bad really, but nothing to get excited about and only moderately vegan-
friendly (pad khee mao was doable as were some stir fries and fresh spring rolls; pad thai, fried
spring rolls weren't; didn't remember to ask about soups and curries). So the lookout continues,
with fingers crossed!

The quality of the food notwithstanding (I've yet to try it), the dishes on offer are kind of...weird
from the perspective of someone who's actually spent some time in Kazakhstan. First, for those
who prize authenticity, you're largely out of luck here. Besides the kebabs (aka "shashlik"),
nothing on the menu is actually Kazakh, but that in itself is no bad thing. Like their southern
cousins, the Kyrgyz, Kazakhs are a historically nomadic culture and, as a result, real Kazakh food
is pretty bland fare that would never sell well at a Portland food cart. (Beshbarmak, for example, is
not much more than boiled mutton and pasta in broth.) However, like the British, Kazakhs have
absorbed food from other cuisines and made it their own. Lagman is a Uighur dish, for example,
though it's bizarre to see it here without meat! What's weird about this cart, though, is not what is
on the menu ("Gulpi", "Bomae" - nobody eats that in Kazakhstan!), it's what's missing. The rice
pilaf variant known as "plov" that arrived in Kazakhstan by way of the Uzbeks is pratcially a
Kazakh staple, as are the wonderful steamed Central Asian dumplings known as "manti". This
cart's offerings might be tasty, but without these two you can't really call it a Kazakh cart. It would
be like having a British cart with no Chicken Tikka Masala! ;)

Best of Kazakstan has combined with a gyros cart (I think the one that used to be around the
corner, next to "Give Pizza A Chance"), in the same location as before, and seemingly with its
menu intact. The obvious addition is the gyro, though they also offer a vegetarian (not sure if
vegan) gyro and "super gyro," which is apparently "made with soy". Could be interesting, though
I'm not big on the faux-meat, myself. Hopefully this is a good business decision for the
proprietors, and will help them better compete.

Is it me or did they give up their name and go with "Gyro King"? I haven't seen "Best of
Kazakhstan" posted anywhere for awhile...

I tried this cart (now called Gyro King) for the first time today, and, I'm sorry to say, wasn't
impressed. I ordered the Bomae and didn't dislike it -- just didn't have much going on. The main
flavor was sweet tomato sauce, and the dish was a bit oily. The side salad did have some nicer
vegetables (cucumber, bell pepper) than some places, but it seemed to be dressed with plain
vegetable oil -- yuck. The best part of the lunch was the fragrant rice studded with seeds (rye?
cumin?). The service was pleasant, and the portion was plentiful for the price ($5.50).

These are our neighbors (if that helps you find them)! Friendly and inquisitive people. They're a
family, and they also owned Gyro King (which used to be next to Give Pizza a Chance). As
planned, they moved that operation into the current new-and-shiny hand-built cart. Unless
something's changed, they currently have one of those Gyros! posters with the pic of the girl who
looks like Cindy Crawford attached to their sign frame. Members of the family also own a similar-
looking cart in the same lot as Nuevo Mexico and El Masry. They can hand-build a cart for you
too, apparently--but heads up, the carts they make are probably not-so-cheap.

Hmmmm...this cart's new menu looks suspiciously similiar to Perierra Creperie at 12th and
Hawthorne. I mean, "more than could be considered a coincidence" similiar. Pretty gutsy move
considering how good Perierra is. Guess we'll wait and see who they take "inspiriation" from after
this one.

Location: SE Division and 50th (NW Corner Lot)
Description: I love many things about Los Gorditos. I love their psychedelic
spaghetti western inspired mural, I love the nice owners and staff, I love that they are open for dinner
and on Saturdays, and I really love their tacos. This is no mere truck with a kitchen, but instead has
morphed into a cozy "cart complex" of sorts including a large covered deck and plenty of tables and
chairs for eating in situ. Hipsters, Hispanic families and everyday working class folks of all types stop
by this busy truck daily to fuel up on tacos, burritos, tortas and the like from lunch through the early
evening. All Portland neighborhoods should be so lucky to have such terrific cheap eats. Los Gorditos
has a particularly deft hand with their meats, including some killer melt in your mouth cabeza, carne
deshebrada and wonderfully seasoned encebellados. If you have no idea what these things are, I would
suggest reading this excellent guide to Mexican
Food for Gringos. Gracias! Finally, Los Gorditos has figured out Portland has a
large and hungry vegetarian and vegan community and has developed a whole giant menu including
the additions of Soyrizo, tofu or grilled vegetables in lieu of meat offerings. Sample
Menu: (Meat Menu - choice of carne asada, pollo, carne deshebrada, pastor,
lengua, cabeza, encebellados) (Vegetarian Menu - choice of Soyrizo, tofu or grilled
vegetables) Tacos - $1.50 Quesa Tacos - $2.50 Burritos - $4.50
Stacy Burrito - Choice of meat and beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, grilled onion, cilantro, red
sauce - $5.00 Super Stacy Burrito (same as above, but with extra red sauce, beef and
jalpenos) - $5.00 Garbage Burrito (rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, onion, cilantro,
CHICKEN, BEEF AND PORK!) - $6.00 Quesadilla - $5.00 Mulita (layers of corn
tortillas filled with cheese and your choice of meat). Served with a side of rice and beans - $5.50
Enchiladas - Comes with a side of rice and beans (chicken or vegetarian) - $5.50 Fajitas -
Comes with side of rice and beans - $6.50 Torta - Toasted bread with beans, choice of meat,
cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, onion, cilanto - $4.50 Hours: Mon-Sat 11-8 Phone: (503) 875-

Their vegan nachos are one of the better deals in town--simple, tasty, lots of avocado, lots of
marinated tofu, best beans & rice in town, $5, feeds two-three. I need to go to the vegan one
Sfl mentions more. . . if only it were downtown, I'd go every week.

I had the garbage burrito last night, and I have to say I was not impressed. The quality of the meat
was low compared to other Mexican carts in the neighborhood.

thanks for posting this. I'd been there once, and then forgot where it was. I live in Hood River, so
am not in Portland every day, so just couldn't remember the name of the place or where it was
until I found this blog. Which is fantastic by the way. I will look here often.

I agree with Ian - the vegan nachos are the bomb. This is one of my favorite carts and I don't
make it enough to this one or the all vegan location on Ankeney in SE. I usually just get the
beans, rice and avocado with chips instead of tortillas for $4.50 to keep it simple, but sometimes I
crave the soyrizo. They're also the sweetest folks.

This is a great place for the vegans, but the traditional meat offerings are uninspired and bland. If
you're into the real deal there is a cart on about 35th and Powell that is way better.

Another tip of the hat to their nachos. Good with tofu, soyrizo, or soy curls if they have them.
Grilled onions and peppers, fresh tomato, lettuce and avocado, and the portion is enough to fill up
anyone. I recommend this place highly.

Hmm...the mexican food for gringos, contrary to your advertisement, only gives a definition for
cabeza, not deshebrada or encebellados. You might want to link elsewhere.

Location: SW 3rd and Ash
Parking Lot Description: Look, a cart that goes by two different names! Turns out
there is a "discussion" of sorts between the partners who own this cart. He says Headwaters Cafe, since
that's the catering company he's been running since 2000, She says Empress, since that's the brand of
this snazzy 1968 airstream trailer. I say, who cares, since this place is rocking quality sandwiches in an
area of downtown that could certainly use more cart food. The Empress (or whatever you want
to call it) provides nice lunch options in the $6.00 range with things like meatloaf, pulled pork or
eggplant Parmesan sandwiches. Although they don't have a printed menu, and unfortunately the
Headwaters Cafe website doesn't offer up a menu for the cart (ahem), the day I visited, the menu items
included the above three sandwiches as well as a large spinach chicken salad. I did enjoy my eggplant
parm sandwich very much, which was on a large piece of French bread similar to the kind used in New
Orleans for Po Boys. It was substantial, hearty enough to hold the marinara and cheese, but still soft in
the middle making for a delightful mix of crunchy exterior and then a toothsome soft bite with the soft
interior of the bread and the eggplant and cheese filling. Although open M-F for lunch, The
Headwaters Cafe is also one of the few late night carts downtown. I'm certain the cheap eats are much
appreciated by the nearby club and bar goers after a night of revelry. The
Headwaters Cafe has been in business since 2000 serving up specialty catering with an emphasis on
local, seasonal ingredients. In true Portland fashion the cart runs on biodiesel, uses biodegradable
utensils, and they do compost their food wastes as well. The still do catering, and will cater for
lunches as well with a minimum order of 10 lunches. Sample Menu:
The Fonz: Braised pork on a baguette with hoisin sauce and Asian slaw ($6) Ralph the Mouth:
Vegetarian Eggplant Parmesan on baguette w/ sweet basil ragout and provelone cheese ($6) Brown
Bag Meatloaf sandwich with caramelized onions, lettuce and condiments ($5) Hours:
Lunchtime Mon-Fri, Late night hours Friday and Saturday

I love the pulled pork sandwich and the veggie options (eggplant parmesan sandwich and huge
delicious spinach salad). Perfect lunch option for my daily trip to Stumptown coffeeshop. Jason -
the owner - is really friendly and a cutie too! I have a good pic of him in his really cool vintage
trailer which I would love to share with you! Valerie

Oh man...so many choices for lunch downtown but this place is so good! I thought, "anyone can
make a sandwich" but The Empress has some secret technique. Good bread, fresh ingredients, and
friendly service. You can't ask for much more. The website now has the menu posted...same as
what's listed above. I've tried each sandwich and they are all top notch. Something magical about
The Fonz that makes me want to order a second sandwich for later. A must try for the downtown
lunch crowd!

I've had food from this cart several times now and my experiences have been wonderful! The
eggplant parm baguette was great and the daily specials are what keep me coming back. The
owner is really flexible with the ingredients, if there is something you're not so down with. I work
right around the corner from the cart and it's definitely one of my favorite carts in portland - you
can find me there are least once a week!

Stopped by last Friday, 7/24/2009. I couldn't make up my mind... so I ordered all three
sandwiches with the intention of taking them back to work to share. What a find and what
GREAT food! Nothing but compliments when I got back to work. I've got to find out where they
get their bread for the sandwiches.

Location: 3360 SE Division Description: No-Fuss, No Muss, No surprises
Mexican taco truck in the heart of SE Division. Beloved by neighborhood residents, the employees
from the fancy Lauro Kitchen across the street, and just about anyone looking for quality food at very
affordable prices. Everything, from the whopping burritos to the double big-mac sized tortas are under
$5.00, and I think the tacos shine most here with flavorful and tender Barbacoa, and Carnitas being my
favorites. For those looking for some more adventurous taco toppings, ask for the Cesos (beef brains),
Birria (goat meat) or Cabeza (beef cheeks). Sopes, those satisfying soft corn pancakes with choice of
meat toppings are also available for a mere $3.00. In addition, because this is Portland, Lindo
understands the concept of food for vegetarians and vegans; you'll have no problems here asking for
lard free beans. The Tortillas are also especially good: fresh and tender and made daily. A sign on the
truck says, TORTILLAS HECHAS A MANO! Is this the
fanciest cart in town? No. it the most imaginative food around? No. Is it as good as your favorite "just
like the tacos back in Fill-in-the-Blank?" No. But Lindo Michoacan serves up perfectly decent food at
prices that are affordable by just about anyone. In this age of economic freak out, Lindo is doing a
wonderful public service in my opinion. Good food for the masses! Finally, with one of the best covered seating
areas of any Portland taco trucks (complete with heaters!), Lindo Michoacan makes for a comfortable
dine in option during Portland's gray and wet weather months, which generally means 10 months out
of the year. Sample Menu: (Meat Choices - Asada, Al Pastor, Cabeza, Legua,
Barbacoa, Chorizo, Fish, Cesos, Pollo, Birria, Carnitas. Vegetarian and Vegan options also available).
Burritos - $4.00. Super burrito $6.00. Choice of meats, vegan or vegetarian, chille relleno. Tacos -
$1.50. Choice of meat, vegetarian. Fish tacos $1.75 Quesadillas - $4.00. Choice of meats, cheese, or
vegetable. Tortas - $4.00. Choice of meats, or vegetarian Enchiladas - $4.00. Choice of meat.
Tostadas - $3.00. Choice of meat or vegetarian. Sopes - $3.00. Choice of meat or vegetarian.

Spotted on NE Alberta Street between 15th and 14th next to an
auto repair shop. Although I have no other info, it would be great to have some more carts on Alberta
St. Except, no more Mexican or Thai eateries please, the street is already swarming with those choices.
My ideas? Vietnamese Pho and Noodle Bowls Indian Food Ethiopian or
African Kebabs /Falafel/ Gyros/ Middle Eastern

Hi Ryan, Cart spaces generally don't get advertised or listed like normal commercial leasing
opportunities. Your best bet is to look at geographic areas you like, check the zoning and approach
the owner of the property. Many owners of commercial properties might be more than willing to
lease out space to a cart. Expect to pay anywhere between $200-$700 per month, and don't forget
to negotiate for things like water, electricity and garbage. Good luck!

You can find out zoning of a specific property at portlandmaps.com -- this is an official city-run
site using city,county, etc GIS data. Search for the address, then click on "Maps" on upper right
hand side of page to pull up a zoning map. If you click on the underlined zone type, it takes you
to the code that explains what is allowable in that zone. You also could check out the pods
around town and see if any of them seem to have extra spaces or vacant carts. The ones near SW
9th/wash seem to change frequently, but I know there were issues there with the electricity -- don't
know if that was resolved.

City Center Parking are in charge of most of the downtown lots. The guy in charge is Al. His
number is 503-803-3959. He will run down a list of addresses downtown that have spots
available.

Location: SW Alder between 9th and 1oth Description:
Coney Island Hot Dogs! Hot dogs are such a varied regional food. And trust me, people get a bit
passionate and territorial about how a "proper" dog should be made and what kind of condiments
should be served with it. There's Chicago style with its multiple condiments and distinctive bright
green "nuclear relish." Kansas dogs come with melted Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. Carolina dogs are
served covered in chili, mustard, onions AND coleslaw. Not to be outdone, Norwalk, Connecticut has
"split dogs" which are deep fried after being boiled. Arizona even has the Southwestern inspired
"Perro Caliente", which is basically a flour tortilla wrapped hot dog burrito, with refried beans, salsa
and rice. I grew up in a city where spicy "Polish" dogs reign supreme, and are served with loads of
kraut and the distinctive and regional Stadium brand
brown mustard. The list goes on. Then there is the exhaustive chili dog variations found all over
our great land. Los Angeles might try to claim the chili dog as America's number one hot dog, but it's
really the Coney Island dog that rules the chili dog style (I bet I'll get hate mail
because I just said that). However, as New York might claim it, it turns out someone in Michigan
actually invented it. Go figure. Regardless, Coney Island dog lovers are a
particular breed - the bun must be a certain way, the preferred choice of meat is often the famous Nathan's brand, the chili is always beanless,
and the toppings are usually just chopped onion and yellow mustard. However, you can pretty much
get a Coney any way you want. For a Coney Dog is the most American of dogs - we are a free country
after all, filled with free thinking individuals and we are free to choose what condiments we want on
our hot dogs! God Bless America! Ah, hem, anyway, Taste of New York
specializes in what else, HOT DOGS. Not fancy, not fussy, not frilly; this little hot dog stand is a
humble affair but is sure to satisfy hot dog lovers of all types. For a mere $3.00 bucks, it's a perfectly
filling and satisfying meal. Sample Menu: All come with your choice of
condiments. Nathan Dog - $2 Nathan Big Dog - $3 Nathan Double Dog - $4 Nathan Coney (with
chili, onion and mustard) - $3 Big Coney - $4 Hours: Lunch hours Mon-Fri

Anyone been to/noticed a new cart at the 3rd & Washington mini-cluster, Elmasry Egyptian?
I've heard Egyptian food is pretty similar to Lebanese food, but I don't really know. Could be
good--took down their phone number, 503-487-7267.

Thanks for the tip Ian. Egyptian has Lebanese qualities but has some distinctive dishes of their
own too. Can't wait to try it!

(Thanks Tim!) [caption id="attachment_788" align="aligncenter" width="225"
caption="Thai Iced Tea!"][/caption] Description: A Thai cart serving up
all the Thai cart standards such as curries, noodle dishes, stir fries and fried rice as well as things like
salad rolls and Thai Coffee or Tea. Food here comes in the normal Portland Thai cart humongous
portions with a decent amount of veggies to noodles or rice ratio. Asia Express also serves the comfort
food known as the "gravy covered" Rad Nah Noodles; a rarity from
most Portland Thai carts. Check 'em out and let me know what you think. However, I will say the
"Express", in the Asia Express might be a misnomer. My order took quite a while to make the day I ate
there, and certainly took longer than other Thai carts I've been to. Could have been an off day though.
Still, the food at Asia Express was perfectly good. And the $5.00 portion of Rad Nah noodles with
chicken was big enough for three meals, so I'm not complaining. Another funny quirk about Asia
Express is that this isn't a purists Thai cart. Other Asian dishes and influences are evident on the menu
including Korean kim-chee fried rice and Vietnamese beef Pho noodle soup. [caption

Location: SW 5th and Morrison
and SW 10th and Yamhill Spring is here and with spring comes
baseball. With baseball comes dogs. Not little pooches, but hotdogs and sausages. A few weeks ago,
a new dog cart appeared on SW 5th and Morrison across from the remodeled Meier and Frank building
and the entrance to the shishi Nines Hotel. I can only imagine what the manager thought the first time
he saw a food cart out his door. This area, the brick sidewalk surrounding the venerable old Pioneer
Courthouse is home to some great fountains, a burrito cart and a soup cart. Now, dogs. Pirate Dog is a father and son business with, well, a pirate theme. Their motto
is "Eat ad Pirate Dog or DIE!!!" I don't think they will really run out and cut you with a cutlass if you
walk by, but... They offer numerous dogs ranging from an all beef hot dog to specialty sausages like
brats and Louisiana hots. Instead of offering just a dog and some condiments, they have a full menu
with different options already put together. I had the "Fire in the Hole" - a Louisiana Red-Hot. I
added some mustard (which you always should do with sausages) and sauerkraut for a pretty good
tasting dog. Even the beaver in the fountain liked it. Most of the dogs range from $3-5 with
extras running around 50c. The cart is pretty nice with a great umbrella, so if it is sprinkling, you can
hunker inside while they prepare your lunch. Head on down some day and try a Pirate Dog. Sample Menu: Pirate Dog - all beef frank -
$2.50 Grog Dog - bier sausage - $3.50 Shanghai Smokey - double smoked sausage
- $3.50 The Land "Lover" - Vegetarian dog - $4 East Coast Pirate - all beef frank
topped with cole slaw and deli mustard - $4 Long John Silver - 1/2 lb beef and pork frank
with chili and cheese - $7 Condiments include Sauerkraut, tomatoes, pickles,
jalapenos, chili, cheese, and cole slaw and range from 25c to $1. Hours:
Weekdays at lunchtime (though they hope to also be open evenings in the bar districts.)

have 10 different options for dogs. I'm still awaiting someone to have Leberkase.

Arrr, matey! These dogs ROCK. I had something called the "Zach special"- I think it was a brat.
Cream cheese and grilled onions. SO GOOD that I went back an hour later and got another one.
My daughters and wife also had their fill and loved 'em. Don't miss this cart. 10th and Alder.

University of Portland baseball game on 5/9. We're a bunch of Portland-based Pepperdine grads
trying to show some love for our baseball team, welcome back our Portland-based students, and
express our connection to the Portland community. Looking for 2-3 PDX Food Carts to
participate!

***New Cart*** Location: 804 SW 12th Ave and Yamhill
(located on Yamhill, next to India Chaat House) Description: The Chaat is back!
(Updated May 17) There was some sort of family split WHICH IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS, but
the former cook/owner/or something from India Chaat next door just simply reopened a new name and
a spiffed up cart-bus of her own. The lesson here? HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A CART OWNER
SCORNED. Anyway, I'll keep out of this War of the Roses style cart drama
henceforth, but I have to say that Bombay Chaat is certainly exceeding expectations in value, quality
and service. It's basically the same menu as before with 100% vegetarian (or vegan on request) Indian
snacks, bean or vegetable dishes, curries, rice dishes and some of the best Naan bread to grace
Portland. The $5.00, 5 piece lunch special should be illegal at this price. Easily enough to serve two
for lunch, it comes with basamati rice, dal tarka spiced lentils, a hubcap sized piece of tender made to
order naan, and two main dishes such as creamy vegetable korma, aloo saag spinach and potatoes. A
free cup of chai tea is usually offered up while you wait, so technically this could be considered a 6
course meal for $5.00. Whoa. That's a bargain! Although the above lunch deal is the reason many eat
at this cart, I'm particuarly fond of the Chaats (snacks). These are things like made to order garlic naan
bread ($1.25), sev-poori crispy Indian noodles with tarmarind and mint sauces, homemade yogurt,
garbanzo beans and onions, or aloo tiki deep fried mashed and spiced potato patties. The Samosa Chaat
is one of my favorite things: two close to baseball sized potato and vegetable samosas, deep fried and
served with the same sauxe as the sev-poori above. At $3.50, the Samosa chaat makes a terrific lunch,
while my tweet tooth often steers me to the Pishwari bread stuffed with almonds, pistachios, raisins
and cashews with a rose syrup. Sweet or mango yogurt lassis are also quite refreshing. I'm not going
to say which cart I prefer or which one I think is better. Dear reader, I'll let you be the judge of that. I
will say however that I'm really glad Bombay Chaat is open for business. Sample

Hi, just want to object to the description of "selling out from under her". There was a bad divorce
scene, she tried to put him in jail when he traveled to India. She had relatives there arrest him and
he had to pay tons of cash to get out and not be tortured etc. She had her own business elsewhere
and did intentionally put the new cart directly next to his. When he escaped and returned to the
U.S. her family all threatened him (really!!) so he sold out to be safe. She had not wanted to work
in a truck anyway originally. Weird. To me it just stinks of revenge and hatefulness on her side,
but also not someone I want to patronize ever! Maybe someday he'll return. I hope so. He is a
great person. He is also a talented chef. So ICH is not him anymore, that is why it sucks. But I
won't buy her food, since she did such dangerous and bad stuff. Read about it online...families in
the Punjab punish someone who breaks the rules of their culture - often it is the women who give
the orders to do someone in. He is in trouble for daring to seek some happiness in his life. She
wanted the divorce anyway, always told everyone that...I heard her say it...right at the truck too.
He lost 20 lbs before he left her, if that is any indication of her effect on someone's health. I really
am sick of all the fuss over this issue, but no matter how good the food, I'll never buy from BCH! I
am an activist and vegan and vegetarian, but people like me cannot feel good about saving the
lives of animals by eating food at a place that tried so hard to have another human life be
destroyed! Enough said!

Thanks for the good word. Not trying to get into the post-marital drama, but the former face of
India Chaat House (who's been conspicuously absent in recent weeks--that means he sold it to
someone else?) gave a slightly different version of the story, when Bombay Chaat first opened,
that convinced me there were shenanigans going on from the other side, so I chose to be "loyal" to
ICH. Hearing things may be the other way around, and given a recent very negative experience
with the food at ICH and the absence of the familiar friendly faces there--I'll have to try the new
place. I just hope they don't halve the former business of ICH, and both end up going under or
moving elsewhere. Now if we can just get those damned fur protesters to get a sense of priorities
and to decide to go do good works for their cause--rather than just annoying everyone in earshot
(including me in my apartment) and making people hate vegans--perhaps at least one of these carts
will become an appealing option again. . . (I say this as a vegan of 14 years, so I'm not
vegan/vegetarian-bashing). Yikes--carts get political!

Ahh... thanks for solving that mystery. Stopped by the ICH yesterday after a long absence, and the
food was honestly not great. I also wondered what the deal was with an Indian cart moving in right
next door! Will have to try BCH next time I'm downtown.

Yeah I was seriously pro ICH until I started hearing more and more about support for the new cart
- and comparing meals at both - Bombay Chaat House was where it was it. And it's $5! My
recent meals at the under-new-management ICH have not compared to two at the BCC. My only
qualm is that ICH started making the daily lunch special all-vegan a year or two ago, and at BCC
you need to request it - and the vegan additon isn't always as 'fresh' as the rest.

I went today and found that the proprietor was very happy about vegan business, saying it
accounted for a lot of her business. So I wouldn't be surprised if the lunch special becomes default
vegan, or at least that the freshness issue you noticed doesn't change. Got the "lunch" special (at
5:40pm) and it was plenty tasty--how I remember ICH's being: simple, maybe not the most
flavorful Indian food one could imagine, but wholesome and tasty. The naan was superior to all
but the aloo kulcha I remember from ICH. Plus she made the free chai vegan without even being
reminded, which I thought was a really nice touch. Good to see others confirming that the food
itself has changed at ICH, so we know it's not just an off-day or off-week.

Thanks for the scoop. I finally tried BCH last night and got tons of food for just a little over 10
bucks. By chance, I got the sev-poori and it was one of the weirder thing I've chowed down,
couldn't stop eating though. The naan was huge!

Ian - the naan I've had twice now has been bigger and better than I ever had at ICH. Not to
complain about theirs, but the quality/size/well done-ness varied.

I asked the husband/owner at Chaat House a few months ago what the deal was with the new cart,
and he said his ex-wife's family were 'very dangerous people' who were threatening him. He also
said something about a failed restaurant in the suburbs that she had maybe gotten in the divorce,
and that he had to buy her the cart to avoid retribution from her family. He repeated the
'dangerous' part a few times. Yikes. As the Naan turns, people. Either way, the Palak Paneer is
not the same at the Chaat and I am saddened. Perhaps I'll try Bombay Chaat today and see if that is
where my beloved cheese has gone.

I believe the BCH version of the story especially since their sons are also with them.. ICH guy
sold the truck to someone else and did allegedly leave her in debt.. It is she who taught him in
ICH ..My support is there for BCH and the continued great food ..

You know, I've updated the above post. It really is NONE OF OUR DAMN BUSINESS what
happened between TWO MARRIED PEOPLE WHO GOT A DIVORCE. It's all about the food,
not speculation, drama and/or slander. Right? Let's keep it on topic then. But This is one of those
rare occasions where I speak out about the food quality. Bombay Chaat's Food is terrific. India
Chaat has gone downhill. I don't care who said what to whom in a back alley with a kidnapping
using the Colonel's knife because that's how they do it in the old country nonsense.

**I posted this review in the wrong section - so copying it here** Okay so after all these
comments about how Bombay Chaat House is the true heir apparent to ICH etc etc we decided to
try it out yesterday. I must open by saying it was the most HORRIBLE food we‘ve ever eaten - it
would be a travesty to call that stuff "food" and an insult to the culinary profession to call the folks
that run this place "cooks". We were fairly frequent visitors of the erstwhile ICH and if anyone
says the ―food‖ that BCH purports to "cook" is anywhere close to ICH, I‘d love to smoke what
they‘re on. We are Indian by origin and loved the old ICH (was about as authentic as Portland has
to offer). Now for the details. We picked up 4 items from BCH and brought them home - bhel,
papdi chaat, aloo paratha and aloo-matar. The bhel was completely tasteless (akin to eating small
pieces of white cardboard). We struggled and finished the bhel and turned to the papdi chaat
hoping for some respite. Apparently BCH believes that papdi chaat does not need to include the
papdi (the small fried flour discs that give it the taste).. helllloooo!! Even so we tried the first
spoonful and promptly spat it out - the item was well past its expiration date - I suspect the yogurt
in the chaat had gone bad. I cant believe the ride home (about 15 mins) could have caused this so
the dish as served was bad. The aloo paratha, though nothing to write home about, was atleast
edible. The aloo matar dish (potato and peas curry in a tomato sauce) was terrible (flavorless and
weird tasting) and was placed on a bed of half cooked rice - I swear you could almost hear the
crunch of the rice as you tried to eat it. We made a valiant effort but ended up tossing that out as
well. So in summation we had 1 okay, 2 terrible and 1 inedible dish - what a telling strike rate!!
Needless to say we wont ever be going to BCH again and to the readers here - caveat emptor!!

I cannot overstate my affection for this place. The food here is so fantastic, I've never had any
other indian food that measures up. I especially like the very creamy dishes like the Mutter Paneer
and the Navratan Korma, which is often included in the lunch special.

Whew, this place isn't the old ICH! I just went to try it again, the young man was there alone so I
thought I'd give it a go. Man, I'm really wondering where the good reviews are coming from. The
naan was gummy and the dish I had tasted like it had been sitting around for more than a few days.
The subtle change in smell is known to me, as I also cook Indian food. It has to be fresh every day,
and in the old days ICH always had super fresh dishes. I used to eat there alot. I've been following
the chat on this place and all the articles and posts have gotten the story pretty messed up about
what happened. I'm not sure anyone ever consulted the previous chef of ICH to verify facts about
their breakup. As I would've expected, he never bad-mouthed her or anyone and has graciously
just moved on. Anyway, I sure miss the old ICH food from that super great Chef, Mr. Daljit Singh.
But anyway, this is a about BCH. I'm sad to say I don't recommend it. Would've liked to.

There is a taco truck parked here sometimes...and
sometimes it goes elsewhere. There seems to be no rhyme or reasons to its mysterious disappearences
and reappearences. It's on the corner of NW Davis and 4th Ave. Anyone have any idea?

I live two blocks away, so I can tell you with relative certainty: It's only here on Friday and
Saturday nights. I think I've also seen it at last thursday. It appears to be one of the elusive few

Fork 'N' Spoon is currently closed for business. Updated July 20, 2009. I was down by the 5th and Stark
pod and ran into JD Khar of Fork 'N' Spoon
Delivery, a new food cart delivery service downtown. This group of guys will utilize
their feet and bikes to delivery your favorite food cart lunch direct to your home or office (downtown
only right now.) I think this is a fantastic idea. There are so many carts and we all have our favorites,
but sometimes just can't get away from our desk to go get it. Also, on these spring days when the
weather is sunny one minute and torrential downpour the next, let someone else brave the puddles.
Fork 'N' Spoon is a weekday service and takes the orders via phone (503 568 0004).
They have some menus on their site, but you could probably check out our list of great carts and they'll
go pick up your order within their designated zone. They are currently only delivering from the SW
5th and Stark food cart pod according to their website. I wish the guys at Fork 'N' Spook great
success. Hopefully they can expand east because there are some carts on the eastside I just can't get to
for lunch. Fork
'N' Spoon Delivery Hours: Monday through Friday - orders taken
between 10:30am and 2:30pm; delivery 11am to 3pm. Current delivery area:
Delivering from SW 5th and Stark food carts; Delivery zone from SW Oak to SW Salmon and SW 1st
to SW Broadway Website: Fork 'N' Spoon http://www.forkandspoondelivery.bravehost

My peeps over at Willamette Week are holding their
second annual EAT MOBILE event this coming Saturday, April 18, from 5:30-9:30 pm, at the
Disjecta space at 8371 N. Interstate Avenue. Disjecta is conveniently located one block from
the Interstate MAX stop at N. Denver. Get off MAX at the Kenton/N. Denver stop. The cost is only
$5.00 and includes plenty of generous samples from a whole bunch of different food carts and live
music. Cocktails and other drinks available for separate purchase. All ages are welcome and last year it
turned out to be a terrific (and cheap) family event. This year also includes Portland's first ever "Carty
Awards" for the best food carts in Portland as chosen by a panel of local judges. I do have to say, get
there early though. Last year proved to be so popular that food ran out after just a couple of hours! Oh,
and could Eat Mobile 2009 get any better? It's also a benefit for Mercy Corps NW, a group I highly respect and
support for their efforts in local microeconomic development and entrepreneurship. Go Mercy Corps!
For more information, check out Eat Mobile on
Willamette Week's Website. See you there! Disjecta: INSERT_MAP

Also, the Blazers game will be showing on 3 screens. I think the sound will be off when the bands
are playing, but no one will miss the game! Or, if you are lucky enough to have tickets to the
game, take the Max here and get a cheap and wonderful bite to eat and some good beer before the
game. Much better than $8 beers at the Rose Garden!

food carts here in Porltand. Unfortunately we went in and turned right back around and got our
money back. Don't go hungry or with hungry kids. Prepare to wait, wait, wait. If you went with
this attitude you may have had fun.

***Updated*** Location: SW 10th and Alder Parking Lot
Description: Bratwurst. Brat. The best known and most basic of German
Sausages. Everyone knows it and everyone has had one - even veggies brats. George Wittkopp, the
owner of Altengartz has built a business behind the Brat. Not the bier sausage, not the weisswurst, not
the kielbasa - just the Brat. George's bratwurst are all natural pork sausages and he prides himself that
the dogs are hormone free and Made in Oregon. I have enjoyed a few Altengartz Brats over the years.
The truck has been in the 9th and Alder lot for a few years now, kinda the elder statesman of the
bunch. I recently visited and enjoyed the garlic brat. I assumed it may be a brat with chunks of garlic
in it, but as I pointed out above, there isn't anything but a traditional brat sold there. The dog I enjoyed
was a perfectly cooked brat with fresh garlic mixed in with Sauerkraut. Throw in some stone ground
mustard and...well...yum. The Altengartz cart offers both a traditional Bratwurst and a Veggie Brat
with all the fixins. They also do a hamburger if that is your thing. Salads? Yep. And they are
affordable. Sample Menu: Bratwurst - $4
Double Bratwurst - $6 Veggie Brat (chickpea base) - $4 Toppings - 5oc each -
grilled onions, sauerkraut, cheese, garlic Potato Salad - $1.25 Baked Beans or 4
bean salad - $1.25 drinks and sodas and chips also Hours:
Lunch weekdays Phone: 503 699 4962 or 1 866 Top Brat

Closed as of Oct. 27, 2009. Cart now under new ownership. Location: SW 9th and
Stark (9th and Alder parking lot) Description: I was looking for something
different for lunch on this beautiful sunny spring day. One of Portland's first of the year. I had seen
that some new carts had sprung up in the 9th and Alder parking lot further down 9th. We opted to try
out DNA Thai food - we were drawn in by the Mango and Cashew nut dish. There were a couple
people there, so that was a good sign - people waiting for their food. I opted for Basil fried rice (my
Thai fave) with Tofu and spicy. I was so glad they offered spicy. After I paid $5.50, the young
woman offered me my free drink. Wait, I get food and a drink for $5.50? Wow, what a deal. The
Basil Fried Rice with Tofu was excellent. It was a pretty hearty portion with plenty of fresh veggies
and some great spice. I dove in and actually had to slow myself down. It was that good. The rice and
tofu, mixed perfectly with onions, carrots, peppers, mushrooms and basil made my day. My
lunchmates also picked up DNA Thai. One enjoyed the Mango/Cashew dish and commented that it
was well made and was glad for the large portion of mango chuncks. My other friend had one of the
curry's. I think we all enjoyed our lunch more than we ever expected. If you want some yummy
Thai at a great price, check out DNA Thai. Sample
Menu: Pad Thai (Tofu or Chicken) Thin rice noodle stir fried with egg, green
onions and bean sprouts. $5.50 Pad Kee Mao (tofu or Chicken)Stir fried wide noodle with
bell peppers, egg, onion, tomatoes,mushroom and basil leave. $5.50 Pad See Eaw (Tofu or
Chicken) Stir fried wide noodles with broccoli, egg, carrots, cabbages and sweet soy sauce. $5.50

pepper,eggplant and basil with noodle$5.50 Green Curry Noodle( Tofu Or chicken) Green
curry in coconut milk with bamboo shoot,bell pepper,eggplant and basil with noodle $5.50

DNA Thai sounds great! On a side note though, If I were to write my own review on grilled
cheese grill, I mean, I haven't tried it yet, but--it might mention that the "soon-to-be-famous
cheesus" burger is very, very similar to the "(already quite popular) YouCANhascheeseburger". A
fact which brings me a certain awkward situational discomfort, as if I were in an episode of "The
Office". Maybe somebody should pitch a reality show called "The Carts".

Sounds worth a try. I guess the trend in Thai restaurant names has gone from puns (ThaiPod,
Beau Thai) to the avant-garde-- DNA Thai, InterSelects : ) I noticed a new cart this morning at the
3rd & Washington lot that uses the same stenciled font and hearts as I Love Thai Food, and
also I Like Thai Food. It's called simply "Just Thai". So it might be the long-awaited return of
Love--or it could be the Like guys have opened a second cart. . .

Ian, Yeah, I saw that too yesterday. So, today, I returned and found that they put up the "I Love
Thai Food" sign in with "Just Thai." Apparently, they are the same people from the old I Love
Thai Food cart. I'm glad they're back, because, now I can have my favorite vegan green curry.

thanks pdxstump. We haven't quite figured out the best system yet for geographic categories.
Since this one, in theory, is along the perimeter of the SW 9th and Alder "cart pod", we are using
that category. I've noted the location in the post. The challenge is to have enough general
categories, but not have too many categories which turns into a cluster*fck to manage and
navigate Thoughts?

Woohoo--Thanks for the confirmation, Jenny. I went down to Just Thai/I Love Thai Food
Revival--and it was just as good as ever, and the proprietors and their daughters were just as kind
as ever. And now their menu is explicit about what is/can be vegan. I got the pad kee mao, and
they even remembered that I used to get it with eggplant added, and they gave me more than I
could eat in two meals, and gave me an iced coffee made vegan! They're so nice--I hope they're
not too nice to stay in business! CBF--didn't you say you just about had a review ready for them
before they closed? You should be able to put it up with only minor modifications--and
apparently they just opened this week, so it should be a boost to them when they need it : )

Update on DNA Thai. Last week or week before, there was a sign on their cart saying "New DNA
Thai will be back." I'm not quite sure if the owner has changed though I see the same girl at the
front. I went there today, and their price had gone up a bit ($6-$6.50) and no more free drinks.
Food was OK. Last few times food was really good, so I'm little disappointed. Since I tried
something I haven't tried previously (basil fried rice) today, I will go back and try something I
tried before next time.

Location: Here, There and Everywhere! This one was spotted on NW 4th and Davis,
downtown. [caption id="attachment_871" align="aligncenter" width="225" caption="Oli and his
pedal powered ice cream cart. Go Oli, Go!"][/caption]
Description: Cute little tricycle powered ice cream carts found in a neighborhood
near you. Sample Menu: All the usual ice cream cart
suspects. Fruit Freezes, Creamcicles, Ice Cream Sandwiches, Rocket Pops, Push-ups, Choco-Tacos,
Drumsticks, and more! Personally, I love the idea of pedal powered ice cream carts. No annoying
music either! I mean, could Portland's ice cream vans and trucks at least branch out please? I'm a twee
burned out on Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer." Phone: 971-

Location: SW 3rd and Washington Description: I
have been a fan of Tito's Burritos for a few years now. I moved back downtown for work in 2004 and
quickly jumped back into the food cart scene. I was so jones'n for some great tacos. It took me a few
years to actually discover Tito's and thier $1.25 (at the time) tacos, but when I did, I was a happy
young man. Last summer I decided to do a comparison, so hit many of the local taco carts specifically
to sample their wares. In the end, I kept coming back to Tito's. Tito's does a traditional taco (as far as
I can understand is traditional.) This isn't the childhood taco I nor any of my friends had in the burbs
when we were kids. They offer up tacos, burritos, enchiladas, nachos and tortas. They offer many of
the traditional meat options you would normally find at a Mexican restaurant including vegitarian.
Chorizo, Carnitas, Pastor, Machaca, Pollo, Asada, and Fish. I picked up 4 tacos - Carnitas, Asada,
Pastor and Fish and none dissapointed. Tacos are only $1.50. That's cheaper than a latte. There is also a Tito's
Burritos II at 9th and Alder. Sample Menu: Combo Plates: $5.50 -
Nachos, Chile Relleno, Enchiladas Burritos: $5 - Chicken, Asada, Carnitas, Machaca,
Chorizo etc - with beans and rice Tacos: $1.50 - Asada, Pastor, Carnitas, Chicken, Machaca,
Chorizo, Fish Veggie Tacos: $1.25 Beans and Cheese: $3 Beans and
Cheese and Rise: $3.50 Assorted drinks and hot sauces available Phone:

As it happens, Tito's was the closest food cart to where I worked, so I started going there on my
breaks. I got some of my coworkers hooked on their tacos. I have tried these tacos: veggie,
carnitas, asada, chicken, fish. I crave them afterI haven't had them for a while. The veggie and the
fish tacos are my favorites. The meat tacos can be a little too salty to my taste. I also LOVE the
veggie torta. I still visit often even though I no longer work nearby.

I almost had them cater my wedding. I love them that much. Small caveat: don't eat there if Tito
isn't cooking. I got the worse food poisoning. Otherwise--food-cart perfection.

*Photos provided by Tim Roth. You should hire him because he's
really good. Location: NW 8th and Couch Description: Eating
good Thai food can be a revelation. Julia Child once said she never really knew good French food until
she went to France. Thailand is my France. My initial visit to the "Land of Smiles" was in the early
1990s and I fell in love with both the country and the cuisine. Sure, I had my fill of perfectly fine Phad
Thai noodles, coconut milk based soups, and green curries stateside before that. But it was my first
meal at a simple outside street cart in the notoriously seedy Pat-Pong area of Bangkok that I finally
"got it." It was simple food, but prepared so incredibly well that I realized what I had been eating back
in the States was but a pale comparison of the real thing. This is what separates great Thai food from
the merely ok stuff - Hot, Sweet, Salty, Sour and an underlying "Umami" to bring it all together in harmony. Food
perfectly balanced with the right combination of fresh herbs and exotic spices; sauces that don't
overpower or drown what's in them; noodles and fresh vegetables cooked to just the right bite; and
food made by people who have a light touch and have perfected their own special dishes. It's an art
form really. Eating food in Thailand has ruined me forever. I just can't get too excited about most Thai
food in Portland with the tendency towards candy sweet curries and oil heavy overcooked noodle
dishes. That's not to say Portland doesn't have some terrific Thai restaurants, we do. It simply seems to
be a case that there are more of the mediocre ones that ones I am impressed with. This is especially
true at many of Portland's Thai carts. Several seem to have only four elements available: Fatty, Salty,
Chili Hot, and Starchy. It's a pity really to be served such slop, no matter how cheap it is. So when I
was given a tip by my friend Food Dude about
Poompui, a new Thai cart on NW 8th and Couch, I was skeptical. Then I tried it. Wow. Just wow. Poompui makes food like
you get in Thailand. It's not that they are offering any out of the ordinary menu items or serving
obscure regional Thai specialties. It's just that the food at Poompui is somehow better. It's brighter and
fresher and lighter. I don't know how or where the young Bangkok born and raised owner and his team
learned how to cook, but whatever the reasons, they are doing Thai food right. Sample Menu: Appetizers - $3.00. #1 Choice of
Salad Rolls (vegetarian) #2 Popia Tod (vegetarian fried spring rolls) #3 Fried Wonton (stuffed with
marinated pork, and seasonings) Soups - $3.00 #4 Tom Yum (Thai hot and sour soup) #5 Tom Kah
(Thai coconut milk soup) Noodles - $5.00 #6 Phad Thai #7 Kua Gai (wide rice noodles with egg,
green onion, bean sprouts, wonton stips, lime) #8 Pad Kee Mao (wide rice noodles with egg,
vegetables, basil and seasonings) Fried Rice - $5.00 #9 Pineapple Fried Rice #10 Tom Yum Fried
Rice (carrot, mushroom, egg, dry chili, peanut, cucumber, onion, green onion, cilantro) #11 Curry
Fried Rice Stir Fries - $5.00 (served with rice. Choice of beef, pork, ground chicken or tofu) #12 Pad
Pug (stir fried veggies) #13 Pad Gaprao (basil, vegetables) #14 Pad Cashew (with vegetables) #15 Stir
Fried Eggplant Curries - $5.00 (served with rice. Choice of beef, pork ground chicken or tofu) #16
Praram Curry (red peanut curry with vegetables) #17 Green Curry #18 Yellow Curry Beverages $1.00

Went back May 5th, we had Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao. Tasty but drier than I prefer, I'll
probably head to 9th ave when I want noodles. Still, their curry was so fantastic I'll be back to try
more dishes.

I'll have to give it another try, the pad khee mao I tried left me unimpressed. Then again, the
young man working there that day said he wasn't the usual person. Thanks for the review.

I love the eggplant dish there. I had eaten eggplant dishes in many restaurants around town but I
never got impressed as much as the one at this simple food cart. After trying out their eggplant
dish recommended by a friend, I started to crave their eggplant every now and then. If you haven't
tried their stir fried eggplant, you are missing out big time. I should stop ordering eggplant every
time I go there and try something else too, I might be missing out on a lot of things after reading
this article.

The food at Poompui is extremely addicting! The Pad Kee Mao I had ordered was made to order,
which was EXTRA hot. I highly recommend the stir-fried eggplant. Afford prices and friendly
customer service, wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.

I've been to Poompui a couple of times since the cart openned. The person who runs the cart was
really nice and friendly. Each time, the food looked and tasted amazing! I took a couple of my
friends there and they were very impressed with how good the food was.

I was completely impressed with everything that these young men had to offer. Their cooking
skills are fantastically authentic and the food is just delicious. I spent four months in Thailand and
I am convinced that these boys know what they're doing. I highly recommend this little gem to
everyone- Meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans ( they are sensitive to people's health and dietary
concerns) Thai food buffs as well as stubborn palettes. They also have a very convenient location
right next to the park on 8th and Couch near Powell's and many businesses. You can even text
them your order and they'll confirm it right away! I'm so happy to have this colorful edition to my
neighborhood.

Thank you for writing about Poompui Thai Food in your website. We strive at all times to create
high quality, tasty, and most of all, healthy food at very reasonable prices. To see that what we do
is appreciated is in itself a reward. Since we opened Poompui, we've had nothing but very
gracious and generous costumers who continously inspire us. We are so grateful. Thank you
again for the boost.

I just went to Poompui today for the first time and had the Praram Curry. I am addicted! It easily
rivals some of the high end Thai restaurants in town -- for half the price! The service was also
wonderful and polite.

Delicious Thai food made with quality ingredients. Have been twice now. Ground chicken dish
today and tofu/veggie the first time. Doesn't serve in plastic clam shells. Forks look like the corn-
based kind. (Pretty sustainable for a food cart!) I'm going to be a regular.

Food is great (had the Pad Kee Mao, my usual when first visiting Thai places), but D Mo's right
about the dry noodles. Still, the taste is up there with the best I've tasted, and the Thai iced tea is
good too.

I don't usually comment on blogs but had to on yours. You have a very unique writing style. A lot
of people don't have that touch, they just drone on and on in the most boring way. But not you -
thanks! I can't wait to try out some of the recipes you have here (after a trip to the market to get
the ingredients). Cooking is my favorite hobby. I don't have time to read it all right now, I found
this site when looking for something else on Bing, but I've bookmarked your home page and will
visit again soon to see the latest recipes. Visit
my site if you'd like to read more. Thanks again!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="245" caption="The Grilled
Cheese Grill"][/caption] Location: NE 11th and Alberta
Description: The grilled cheese sandwich is as American as apple pie and everyone
you know has eaten one in their lifetime. When I was a poor post-college student, I survived on grilled
cheese and top ramen. I think we even put pre-cooked ramen noodles in a toasted cheese, but I
digress. Portland has a new food cart - the Grilled Cheese Grill. [caption id="" align="alignright"
width="126" caption="The Kindergartner"][/caption] On a corner lot up off NE Alberta, The Grilled Cheese
Grill setup shop with picnic tables, an old school bus and an airstream for their kitchen. They do a
traditional grilled cheese like mama use to make called the Kindergartner. You get to choose your
bread and whether you want American or Cheddar cheese. A perfect grilled cheese. [caption id=""
align="alignleft" width="168" caption="The Babs"][/caption] If you want to mix it up a bit though, they have 15 other
versions of the grilled cheese for your to choose from. With ingredients including apple, bacon,
jalapeno, artichoke, turkey, hummus, and numerous choices for cheese, you will find a favorite. I
opted for the Babs, with apple, bacon, blue cheese and swiss on rye bread. Such a great sandwich. The
Grilled Cheese Grill is a great place and they do the sandwich justice. I'm looking forward to visiting
more as we get out and about as the weather warms up. Sample Menu:
The Kindergartner - the classic, however you like it - $4 The Pre-schooler - same as the
Kindergartner but with crusts cut off - $4 The Gabby - cheddar, colby jack, swiss, mozzarella
on while - $4.50 The Southsider - artichokes, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, mozzarella on
grilled sourdough - $5 The Moondog - provolone, salami, pepperoni, olive and pepper
tapenade on grilled sourdough - $6 The Babs - bacon, apple, blue cheese, swiss on rye -
$6 additions: tomato, avocado, pickles, onions, sauerkraut, etc - 50c; bacon, turkey, salami,
egg, etc - $1.75 Gluten Free options Phone: 503 206 8959

Got any photos of their "Cheesus Burger"? "We‘ve done away with the bun and replaced it with
two grilled cheese sandwiches. That‘s right, two of them. One on top, another on the bottom.
Pickles and American Cheese inside one, Grilled Onion and Colby Jack in the other. Lettuce,
Tomato, Ketchup, Mustard, and 1/3lb Burger in between. You won‘t need to eat again for 2 days.
Comes with a bag of chips and napkins." Jesus Christ!

*sigh* Thanks Tim, Hi dieselboi, Hi CBF; This is a very specific type of burger presumably not
seen for sale in Portland until BrunchBox introduced it. I'm sentimentally attached to this burger.
Honesty for you? I'm bothered that somebody like Dave might see this on their menu and go
"How original! What a great idea "Grilled Cheese Grill" has had. So glad they brought this to
Portland". BrunchBox "did away with the bun" before GCG ever opened. Given the specific
nature of their cart and their distance from ours, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt
and only ask that they not claim to be the originators. If we approached carts as restaurants it
would be inappropriate for GCG to introduce this burger without researching first. This could have
been avoided by a simple courtesy call on their part saying, "Hey, Head's up, we'd like to do this
burger that's incredibly similar to yours. We did/did not get this idea from your menu". An
unannounced facsimile of BrunchBox's signature sandwich is a legitimate issue. Not a petty one or
a friendly challenge. Dammit. I haven't tried theirs but will say that ours is on lovely local thick-
cut TX toast. Comes with lettuce, grilled onion, tomato, any condiments, and we'll add pickles for
free if you'd like. Our burger is 100% Black Angus, hand-pressed and cooked to order. Kettle-
cooked chips available. Our "YouCANhascheeseburger!" is $5. Take all the free napkins you
want. Grab a $0.50 soda to wash it down. And a grilled cheese sandwich, your choice of cheese,
on TX toast? We charge $1.50. If you're feeling whimsical, we'll cut it into dinosaur shapes for
free. Just...Sayin'.

Hi. I'm going to jump in here and respond because I see a lot of resentment brewing here that
really shouldn't be.... The guy that owns the Grilled Cheese Grill is just about the nicest person
you'll ever meet. He is also exceedingly honest and genuine and I know there was *nothing*
intentional about the similarities in these sandwiches. That just isn't his style. I remember when
he first came up with the Cheeseus. He was so excited and I received an email and photo from his
kitchen about it. This is one person who definitely deserves the benefit of the doubt in this case,
so I'm glad you're giving it to him. I'm sure you remember what an incredibly challenging
endeavor it was to get your cart up and running...all of the thought and planning and logistics that
had to go into it. It's been a whirlwind of excitement for a dream fulfilled this past year, not a
opportunity to rip someone else off. I hope you'll take a moment to stop in and say hi to him
someday. I think you'll find a good guy, and maybe a good friend, just excited to be doing
something he truly loves. And NOW...I have to tell you...**I** emailed him (from the east coast
no less) to give him the *IDEA* of using a giant cookie cutter to cut his "Pre-Schooler" sandwich
(grilled cheese without the crust!) into DINOSAUR or Butterfly **shapes** for little kids! Since
I am in Raleigh, NC, I can assure you I didn't see that at the Brunchbox cart! I will admit to
seeing it on Martha Stewart...as I have two young kids and this is how I cut their lunch sandwiches
everyday. I don't know if the Grilled Cheese Grill is going to use that idea....but if they do...I can
promise you...he got the idea from ME and he's not stealing that one either. : )

Hi Everyone, Cuisine Bonne Femme here. You know, the owner and editor of this here little
website Food Carts Portland. Anyhoo, while I love a little Bad News Bears, Meatballs, and
Summer Camp rivalry, I would like everyone to Ixnay on the who-stole-what-from whom say.
The food cart community is a strong one - incredibly positive and supportive of one another. In
addition, I started this site as a place to share the love and joy of this super cool thing we have
going in Portland - not to dis' the carts. There are enough food sites out there that deal with that
sort of stuff. I think it is especially important to support small local, and independently owned
businesses as much as possible. Surely there's room for at least two variations of the grilled cheese
burger in PDX? Of course it's a free world (in theory), so everyone is welcome to their opinions,
but there's really no need to turn this into a pissing match over, um, a grilled cheese sandwich. So
all I'm asking is, let's move on... As someone once said, "there are no original ideas, just original
people." Or, as one of my favorite filmmakers (Jim Jarmusch put it):
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2mhhtap&s=5 Jean-Luc Godard (from the Jarmusch quote
above) got it right when he said, "It's not where you take things, it's where you take them to." I
want more grilled cheese burgers! This is the revolution of open source. Here's my theory: There
are two ways of looking at the world. One is to look at the world as a pie with only a certain
number of pieces to fight over who gets what amount. Or, you can, like I do - just get together
with more people and make more pie. Peace and love and grilled cheese for all, oh and sweet
delicious pie of course. Thanks for reading and thanks for supporting Portland's cart community.
CBF.

CBF ~ Beautifully stated! I am with you...no scarcity thinking! I had wanted to say that there is
plenty to go around and room enough in this world for *everyone*, but I didn't want to sound,
well...too *cheesy*. : D Coming from Raleigh, NC - Home to more 1 star restaurants than
anywhere else in the world, deep sigh - I am totally envious of your PDX and the amazing food
you get to choose from everyday! I wish we had just *one* grilled cheese burger available to us
here. In the meantime, I can only hope my next trip to Portland is sooner than later!

Red, we never accused him of "stealing" it. I'm sure he is nice--so are we. We don't just run
around complaining about everyone copying everything. Sweet to the B, we'd like to make it clear
that we've never claimed that we invented the burger. There's also a double version in Richmond,
VA missing from your list. I only stated first in Portland, and we do not have a bad attitude at all.
And we don't bad-mouth. We stated a conversation-relevant, carefully-worded legitimate concern
and shouldn't be vilified for it. Most every review of us commends the friendly owners.--the
friendly, light-hearted, much-experience-as-restaurant-managers owners. We agree that this is out
of hand. The owner of GCG asked us to amend our comment and state that he's had the burger in
the works long before he opened. We also agree with everybody that there is room for more than
one in town and never asked that he change it or stop serving it.

The irony bristles. "I'm sentimentally attached [to the "I Can Has Cheeseburger"]" ...especially
the day I stole the name from Caturday internet macros. I wonder if anyone called Fark.com to
say... "hey- just a head's up I'm naming my signature cheeseburger after your submitters memes"
Next week I'll be opening my "Cliche' Kitty" disco and signature Flying Spaghetti Monster
brewpub.

CLOSED MARCH 2009 Update: May, 2009 Location: SE 12th and Hawthorne This charming little cart
relocated from SW 9th and Alder to SE 12th and Hawthorne, but sadly closed in early 2009. However,
the equally charming owner wanted to let everyone what's been happening in her fine cooking
universe. "Dear CBF, I wanted to update everyone about my situation. I know I am listed in the
closed cart section, and was wondering if you could post a little update for me. I obviously closed
Brown Bag Bunny in March. The Hawthorne location never produced enough for me. I wish I could
have stayed downtown. I am going to put the cart up for sale in the next week or so. I have found a
new home baking my pies at Guapo Comics and Coffee on Foster. I will be making some of my
signature salads, potato salad, almond cranberry chicken salad, and homemade pie daily. I also will be
providing delivery for Guapo. Guapo is located at 6350 SE Foster. 503 772-3638. I
would love it if you came by sometime and tried some of my pie, and Guapo's delicious coffee. Thank
you, for your consideration, ~Bunny." Good hearing from you Bunny! We'll be sure to stop by and
grab some of your wonderful treats. Keep us posted!

Brown Bag Bunny Inc is moving to a new location. Some of you may or may not know that the lot
at Alder between 9th and 10th has power problems. There are too many carts on the lot, and the
parking lot has not upgraded their power supply. As a result, cooking at this location can be
challenging, not to mention that when the power goes out refrigeration units do not work. I have
been struggling with this problem since opening a few months ago. In order to bring you the best
food that I can, I have chosen to move to a lot at 12th and Hawthorne. I hope to make this my
permanent home. The new lot I am moving to has assured me that they have an adequate power
supply to meet my needs. I will be at my new location as of next week. I am currently serving
custom made grilled cheese, homemade soups, salads, and home made desserts. At my new
location I am going to serve both lunch and dinner. You also can expect the return of my fried
chicken served hot and fresh. I hope to see you soon, ~Bunny

I wanted to update everyone on Brown Bag Bunny Inc. I started out with a much larger and
ambitious menu. What can I say, I have a passion for feeding people, and there was so much that I
wanted to bring to Portland. Maybe my eyes were bigger than my stomach? We have started on
our new Fall menu which is smaller, but still has lots of wonderful options. I am currently unable
to do breakfast at this time, but am hoping to be able to revisit this option at a later date. We will
still be featuring panini, as well as turkey chili, and a daily soup. I am experimenting with some
homemade desserts. Come on by, and ask us for a sample. We are happy to let you have a taste of
our many savory choices. We will be open 11 am-5 pm Monday through Saturday. I hope to see
you soon, ~Bunny.

I did close Brown Bag Bunny Inc. Business dwindled this Winter, and I just could not keep it
going. I may reinvent my cart at a different location at a later date. Thank you, to all of the loyal
customers that did support my vision. ~Bunny.

I miss you! Please come back! I kept going to the carts and you were never there and I thought
maybe I was missing you or you moved. I am so sad. I have dreams about your grilled cheeses and
I've been steadily telling my friends. You should move to near Montgomery park near my work
(24th and Vaughn would be best)! There are lots of people by foot in the area and I miss you!

Location: SW 5th
and Oak Description: Caraquena is the newest cart on the scene, only 4 days old. On the side of the cart and on the
menu, Caraquena is listed as Michelle's Amazing Venezuelan Kitchen and today I enjoyed the first of
what I believe will be amazing lunches. I'm not sure I can describe
what Venezuelan food is, so I won't try. I suggest you go peruse the menu and head on down with
your questions. What I do know is that Michelle makes her signature dishes from scratch. When I
arrived around 12:40, you could tell she had been busy and she confirmed that. I wasn't sure what to
order from the pretty sizable menu, so she started describing items and making recommendations. She
offered up empanadas and or arepas, describing the differences. I opted for Arepas which turned out to
be sandwich like instead of a pocket like the empanada. They have an arepa special that gets you 2
arepas and 2 sides. While I stood around chatting with another patron, Michelle began to prepare my
meal. She pulled out a Tupperware container of dough that she kneaded into a ball to make the arepa
corn flour patty. Right there, she made it. I was floored. She then moved on to her cutting board to
pound out freshly cut sweet plantains for plantain chips - just for me. I felt so special. The meal I ate
consisted of 2 arepas - one of chicken and one of pork along with black beans and plantain chips with
her signature sauces. [caption id="attachment_915" align="aligncenter" width="225"
caption="Arepa Especial"][/caption] The food was excellent. Flavorful
and a plenty. There was a lot there, so be prepared. I'm glad I stopped by. As stated, Michelle has been open only 4 days and admittedly is still working out new cart
kinks. Trust me, it is worth the wait. Welcome the neighborhood Michelle and Caraquena. Sample Menu: Cruzado - Traditional
Venezuelan stew - belly warming stew made with beef shank, chicken, exotic jungle roots, corn,
potatoes, carrots, scallions and cilantro - $5.50 Pabellon - Traditional Venezuelan plate -
shredded cumin and sweet peppers, beef with house rice, black beans, sweet plantains and iceberg
salad with house vinaigrette - $5.50 Plantains - fried with choice of toppings - between $3.50
and $5 Empanadas - fried corn flour turnovers - choice of chicken, beef, cheese or black bean
- $4 Arepas - corn flour patty sandwich - choice of beef and black bean, ham and cheese,
beef with herbs, chicken, veggie - $4.50 Combination plates for Empanadas or Arepas add 2
sides - between $5.50 and $6 assorted drinks available Phone:

I happened across this cart today as well, after passing it by but never seeing it open for a week or
more. I was so glad I stopped to read the menu. I had the empanadas special, and for $6, got more
food than I could handle. The empanadas were freshly made and fried, and that perfect
combination of light and crispy. I had the cumin chicken one and the "domino" -- black beans and
a light, white cheese -- though I preferred the chicken ("mechada"?). A side of white rice topped
with more of that cheese, plus a side of fried plantains with two tasty sauces (one of which she
described as a "horseradish aioli") rounded out the meal. Not the lightest or healthiest fare, but
really good, and very unique, to my taste. I definitely need to go back and try the arepas. Michelle
is a great cook (she previously worked at the nearby, rarely open Golden Saigon cart on 5th) and
very nice to talk to. She was a little slow today, but I think she's still working out the process, and
for food that fresh, it was worth the wait.

I've already eaten here twice! Everything I've had has been fantastic, and Michelle is the best- not
only does she make amazing Venezuelan food to order, she also found and returned my wallet that
I had dropped near her cart. Highly recommended!

Oh, so good! I had: *2 arepas - one w/beans and one w/the special for today - chicken pineapple
*plaintains - which were not squashed flat like the photo, but more like little cubes of bananas
with cheese crumbled over *beet salad *Michelle also gave me a lovely little plate of red beans
& rice to tide me over as I had to wait for a little while (there was a mad rush all at once!).
The beet salad was more like a cabbage slaw with little slivers of beets and peas (?), I think.
Slightly sweet, crunchy, and a refreshing touch after the hefty arepas. Everything was flavored
just right - not too bland or too salty, for my taste. The arepas (new to me) were really enjoyable -
they were more crunchy than I expected and a nice change from the usual bread. I also liked that
she served my food with a paper plate w/foil on top. I love eating at the carts, but I always feel
bad tossing the giant plastic take-out containers afterwards. I will be back there soon! Just be
patient, as she is the main cook, so don't be in a rush.

I just tried this cart for the first time today. I was somewhat disappointed. I had the plate of the day
which was one arepa, one empanada, coleslaw, white rice, and black beans. It was $8!!!! I wish I
would have asked how much it was before ordering it (the prices were not listed on the board).
The bacon-something empanada was delicious although the size of a potsticker. The maple pork
arepa was amazing and slightly bigger than the empanada. The scoop of coleslaw was bland and
the rice and beans that filled half the plate were, well, rice and beans (I only ate a couple bites). $8
should fill my belly but it didn't and I'm not a huge eater. I feel like a sucker having paid that much
for so little but at least I can say I tried a new (to me) cart.

You know, it was 'ok'. I like "alternative meats" like goat and beef cheeks, and they brought 'em.
They were quite tasty. The tortillas were warm and fresh too. The day I ate there however, I was
starving, in low blood sugar mode, the rain was whipping up a frenzy and I just ate really fast. I'd
be more interested in what others think, so let us know. And for $1.25 per taco, it's hardly a risky
proposition eating there.

I eat here once a week and I can't say enough about their carnitas tortas. They are much more
flavorful and twice the size of everybody elses torta. Another good choice is their pambazo which
is a torta dipped in chile sauce and griddled.

The Barvacoa burritos, birria (goat) burritos, birria tacos too good to try anything else. We need to
double-budget so we can get our favorites + try new stuff too. I love this place. Love.

Description: Khao means rice in Thai. Gai means chicken. Khao Man Gai is one of my favorite
Thai street food classics. See, Thailand is a country obsessed with food. They are also a country
obsessed with street food. It's not unusual to see Armani clad businessmen sitting next to their limo
drivers slurping noodles or chowing down on dumplings from the morning through the night. School
kids grab breakfast at a cart, an afternoon snack, then pick up dinner for their hurried and harried
parents. Street food is a way of life in Thailand and eating at street carts seems to be the number past
time. Anyone who has visted "the land of the smiles" also knows that the best meals are often found at
the thousands and thousands of street carts., [caption id="attachment_933" align="aligncenter"
width="225" caption="Thai Chicken and Rice is Very Nice"][/caption] And
unlike most Thai carts in Portland with their 70+ menu items, Thai carts in Thailand often specialize in
one dish, and one dish only. Everyone debates who makes the best Khao Man Gai - is it the single
burner vendor near Wat Po or the guy with the small truck on Sukumvit Road 38 near the Skytrain
stop? You get the idea. Nong's is doing something a bit different for Portland, but something right in
line with Thai street food- she offers only one menu item (with a couple of variations), and has
perfected it. Khao Man Gai is deceptively complex, which is one of the reasons it is so good. At first
glance it doesn't seem like much; some rice, some steamed chicken, a bit of seasoning, a cup of broth,
some sauce and a few cucumber slices as garnish. Oh, how deceptive! Khao Man Gai is one of those
foods, when made by deft hands, is food of the gods. It's highly addictive. Tender chicken, soft rice,
seasonings meant to be mixed to taste, and a clean broth served alongside. This IS the essence of good
comfort food. Nong doesn't skimp - and her Khao Man Gai would stand up to any of the best street
vendors in Thailand. It's garlicky, it's got a whallop of ginger, the depth of bean sauce and the kick of
chilis. Khao Man Gai is perfect. [caption id="attachment_932" align="aligncenter" width="300"
caption="Humble Looking Package of Khao Man Gai"][/caption] Nong offers a few variations on the theme such as the add on option of chicken liver
(wonderful), extra chicken for a dollar, extra rice or the "Piset" which is really just a giant portion.
Currently, a vegetarian version is available on Fridays. If more people ask for it, vegan/veggie
offerings might become a permanent menu fixture. [caption id="attachment_935" align="aligncenter"
width="300" caption="Khao Man Gai: open and ready to mix in the sauce"][/caption] Drinks include some interesting palm, aloe, Asian pear
and lychee. Iced or hot Vietnamese (not Thai?) coffee also available. It's
wonderful to see such high quality, and such authentic foreign food make it to our little Portland
shores. Welcome to the Portland food cart scene, Nong. We are pleased to have you! You can read
more about the passionate following for Khao Man Gai and Thai Street food (Bangkok specifically) here, here and here.
Menu: Khao Man Gai - $6.00 Extra Chicken - $1.00 Chicken Liver - $1.00 Extra
Rice - $1.00 Khao Man Gai Piset - $10.00 Drinks - $1.50-2.50 Vietnamese coffee (hot or iced),
ramune soft drink, Aloe juice, palm juice, Asian pear juice, Lychee juice,

may have to go for extra sauce next time. And is it ok to say I really liked the presentation in the

I tried the regular khao man gai the other day, and it's some of the best food I've had in Portland,
whether from a cart or in a restaurant. Amazingly fresh and delicious. I want it every day. I want it
NOW. Nong, I bow before you in abject gratitude!

Cool. The menu is laid in simple way but rocks. "Khao Man Gai" is one of my favourite Asian
street food that I really miss but hardly find it in any Thai or Chinese restaurants here. I would
definitely check this cart out when I am in the area. Chicken thigh and liver are to die for.

I went there and asked for a description of the food. The really sweet lady tried to explain it and it
sounded a bit boring - boiled chicken and rice. However, once I unwrapped the meal at my desk I
was pleasantly surprised at the great flavors (there is a yummy ginger chile sauce you pour over it)
and at how filling it was. Definitely worth a visit.

It's worth adding that Nong does vegetarian Fridays. Go on Friday and get some veggie food, too,
so she'll keep vegetarian options on the menu, and maybe even add them to other days of the
week.

My family is from Thailand, and yes, we are a people obsessed with food, dining out, who has the
best what where! There are a bunch of really good Khao Man Gai carts in Bangkok, where we are
from but my parents are really picky that we only go to a certain cart. It's a funny dish. It's actually
considered a Chinese dish, but has been "adopted" into Thai cuisine! Can't wait to try Nong's. It's
one of those foods from home I crave.

link in the NYT's most recent feting of Portland!

Congratulations on the NYT's! And the Video! About the vegetarian option at my cart. I'd like to
explain. I originally want to make only Khaomangai also that cart function for only khaomangai
but then I have lots of friends who are vegetarian and they cant eat there when I told them I'm
gonna open the cart. So I think I'll make one dish veg as the special every Friday. But not
khaomangai vegetarian. Cuz I dont know how. However, when I open, I realize I have limitation
about the space. In that 8 by 8 cart I cant do much there's not a lot of room. Only thing I can think
of is I can make another pot of soup I was thinking of Ka por Pla Veg or Kai Pa lo. I'm still not so
sure if I gonna make it. I want to focus on one dish right now. I hope vegetarian not mad at me I
can cook real thai vegetarian stuff and also other thai food but my kitchen is limited. Thank you
very much. nong

Nong, you're awesome! I love the simplicity of your menu and feeling like I'm being transported
instantly to Thailand by the flavors you've chosen to highlight. I'll be back regularly.

CBF, do you know what Man means? :) There is no way to make vegan/vegetarian Khao man gai,
it's inconceivable. 8) I'll drop by and try Friday.

Yeah, it's the problem with the name. Rice with CHICKEN. Chicken and Rice. But hey,
semantics. She's doing something vegetarian once a week - go check it out and let us know what it
is!

Man means fat or oil, chicken fat in this case. The rice is cooked with chicken stock instead of the
usual water to make it khao man. That's why I said you can't make this disk vegetarian. You need
chicken stock for the rice. She'll probably come up with another dish for the vegetarian crowds.

I agree with Tom - amazing food for a cart or restaurant! It was fresh and tasty - seemed pretty
healthy since the chicken is boiled, not fried. The packaging was so elegant - when I unwrapped
it, there was a perfect sprig of cilantro placed just so around the mound of rice with chicken
resting atop - best presentation I've seen at a cart. The sauce - wow, can I get this in a bottle?
And, it sounds strange, but my favorite part was the delicious sticky rice, it reminded me of eating
at my SE Asian friends' houses in high school. It was a good hot day meal with a little kick of
spice, but I can also see enjoying this in winter, especially if I was feeling sniffly with a cold. My
only wish would be a few veggies tossed with the chicken, just to make it feel more balanced.

Ok, I'm at PSU and starving, so I remembered the NYT article and went online to look it up. I
ended up at the food carts website, then this one -- and oh MAN I'm getting excited! There's
nothing like being hungry and knowing that something amazing is coming up just blocks and
minutes away -- anticipation is the spring between one foot and the other on the way to MMMM.
One thought: I understand that vegetarians want options and that some people think there should
be more vegetables for balance, etc. BUT Khao Man Gai is a traditional dish, it has specific
ingredients and there are rules about it. The variety comes with the the signature spice
combination and tiny adjustments made by the individual cook making the dish her own. Sure,
some rules are made to be broken, but it really sounds like Nong is dedicated to giving us the Real
Thing -- an authentic Bangkok food cart Experience, no less! Plus, in such a tiny space as she has,
there's no room for a huge variety, just enough to do one thing perfectly. Sounds like she's got it
down, so why mess with success? :) Ok, off to check it out!

Okay, I came here for the chicken, which was good, but the Vietnamese iced coffee was out of this
world. She uses just the right mixture of Stumptown coffee and condensed milk. I can only
remember a handful of times I had such good Cafe sua da. Many Vietnamese restaurants use
cheap coffee and too much condensed milk, so you end up drinking sweet syrup-y coffee. She
may be the only one that uses Stumptown coffee to make Cafe sua da. I'm not a coffee drinker
myself, but this is going to be a regular stop when I'm in the area.

I finally had the regular Khao Man Gai last week and it was very very good. The sauce is just right
and very authentic with yellow bean sauce, preserve garlic and more. The food cart scene has been
losing its luster for me lately, but this cart renewed my faith in Portland street food. 8) The palm
juice is also very good and fresh tasting, try one if you haven't had fresh palm juice before.

It was a nice day and I was intrigued by the (June 26) Oregonian article on Nong's Khao Man Gai,
so I walked from the Lloyd Center all the way to SouthEAST 10th and Alder, just like the article
said. Naturally, there was nothing there but a bunch of industrial shops and garages. What a burn.
I'm just posting this message here so others who might have read the article and want to try Nong's
offerings can be forewarned: Her cart is on SouthWEST 10th and Alder. [Note to Oregonian: Get
a fact checker!]

Vince, couldn't agree with you more on the Cafe sua da. Fantastic! And using Stumptown classes
the whole thing up. Yesterday at Nong's, I sat next to a glamorous lady from Thailand. She said
that the Kao Man Gai here was very good, very authentic. Needless to say, it was better than most
Portland restaurant Thai food. Anyway, this Thai lady kept folding her paper in on all sides,
forming a bowl out of the paper. I tried the Kao Man Gai again today, and did the fold technique.
I found it helps keep all the food in your arms, instead of all over Alder! Give it a shot.

Went there for lunch with my family yesterday. The food was really awesome. Taste just like food
in Thailand. They are very polite and honest. It was really busy when we got there. She said it'll be
a while to get our food ready which was fine. After we got the food it was really worth the
waiting. By 1:30-2pm They sold out. That's just how good they are I guess :)

Damn. The secret's out; the last great food of Bangkok is now officially introduced to the world.
Ah, well, enjoy it! *The literal translation is "Greasy rice chicken". "Mun" means "oily/greasy",
and is sometimes used derogatorily.

Eating Portland: Nong's Khao Man Gai... Portland's food cart scene is
ridiculous. The food carts in Portland don't seem to be of the mobile variety (like the ones in
NYC), but mostly parked in parking lots around the city, and mostly concentrated in the
downtown......

Location: SE 12th and Hawthorne Description: 11:47pm on a Saturday night and you
have the munchies. You've had too many tacos and pizza in your life and you're looking for something
new. I suggest you head down to SE 12th and Hawthorne and grab a Crepe. Perierra Creperie makes
both sweet and savory crepes with all kinds of ingredients. Want something with smoked salmon?
They got it. What about asparagus? Yup. How about lemon or nutella or pear or strawberry? If you
can think of it, they probably have it and can make it into a yummy crepe. I was indeed there around
12:15am one Friday evening and the carts were as my friend puts it "popping off." Potato Champion
next door was pretty crowded, but I wanted something more substantial, so I opted for the mozarella,
soprasetta, basil and red pepper. mmmmm, soprasetta. Look at that yummy goodness: It seemed like it only
took a couple of seconds for the crepe pancake to brown enough for her to flip it and then add the
ingredients and then a few seconds more and it was in my hands then in my belly. Such a great
replacement for the late night nosh. The New York Times even took in some crepes on a recent visit. Sample Menu: Lemon and sugar -
$3.50 Nutella and banana - $5 Chocolate and prosciutto - $5 Walnut +
honey + cardamom + corriander - $5 add frangelico or grand marnier to any of the sweet for
$1 Gogonzola, pear, walnut, honey - $7 Ham and Gruyere - $6 Mozarella,
soprasetta, basil, red pepper - $8 Smoke salmon, cream cheese, arugula, lemon - $8
Shakes and smoothies available also Hours: Tues - Sat: 8am-3am;
Sunday: 9am - 3pm Email: perierra@gmail.com Website: Perierra on Facebook INSERT_MAP

Yarp?! is really glad to have them next door. Not only do we appreciate the good food, great
people and awesome music (we no longer play music at Yarp?! because of it) we appreciate
having them as neighbors. My kid really enjoyed the banana and nutella crepe, and my favorite
so far has been the ham, egg and Gruyere. I recommend all you foodies come down and give them
a try.

Heads up, Peri--how do you spell--Perierra creperie is open most hours of most days! They are
friendly, listen to great music, and feed you delicious crepes. Props for the original cart idea too
huh. I'm just obsessed with the proscui--how do you spell that--prosciutto and chocolate!
Mmmmm, crepes.

Cuisine Bonne Femme: no, they do not make a buckwheat crepe. I wish they did. That would be
nice. Me: Original cart idea? Not really. There have been several crepe carts/stands in Portland
over the years. I tried this place tonight and I'm sorry to be the lone curmudgeon here, but shoot,
it just wasn't great. At all. The crepe was gummy and chewy. The fillings are inspired, I suppose,
but...yeah, too many sheckles for what it was: a pancake and a little lemon curd and lingonberry
jam. That should cost $3, tops. There are better crepes in Portland - The Village Creperie at The
Hollywood Farmers Market, for starters (which makes a buckwheat crepe, btw. As does the crepe
joint on 29th and Alberta). J

I had the honey and spices crepe and it was really good. I thought it was a good amount of food
for $5, especially considering the cost of honey and labor.

I LOVE this place! This is by far the best cart at cartopia. My favorite is the smoked salmon
crepe with cream cheese, arugula, and lemon juice. I usually get in on Friday night so I call it the
Shabbat crepe. Also, the smoothie is delicious! Very berry with just enough tangy citrus.

*** NEW CART *** Description: El Masry has a prime location. On the corner of SW 3rd and Washington, it is
one of the first food carts one would see when arriving into downtown Portland after crossing over the
Morrison Bridge. And such a nice cart too. It is brand new and very welcoming with two windows to
server the masses. El Masry opened just a week or so ago and already has people waiting to be
served. El Masry is an Egyptian Food Cart. Egyptian? Yep. They
have an extensive menu covering one whole side of the cart including colorful pictures of each meal.
They have gyros, falafal, hummus, kofta, stuffed grape leaves, lentil soup, and so many other options, I
couldn't keep up. As a newbie, I always try something I know I'll like, so I opted for the kofta kabob
sandwich - similar to a gyros. A kofta kabob is like a beef meatball, but better and with more diverse
flavors. The sandwich was pita with kofta, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, carrots and yummy sauce all
wrapped up. When I bit into it, I knew I would enjoy every last bite. My lunchmate opted for a
schwarma sandwich. He stated it was one of the best lunches he'd had all year - and I quote him on
that. Welcome to the food cart scene El Masry. Sample Menu: Falafel Sandwich: $5.25 Kofta
Kabob Sandwich: $5.50 Mahalbya - $1.99 Mixed rice, shish thwouk, salad -
$6.75 Grilled Chicken, mixed rice, salad - $6.75 Stuffed grape leaves, kofta, salad -
$6.99 Hours: lunchtime weekdays Phone: 503 476

I am looking forward to trying this place out. Any place that can make good grape leaves is
usually a good indicator of their other food.

Wow - excellent food. We tried the chicken kekab (by the owner's own admission not his best put-
out) and were amazed by the succulent meat. The bed of rice cooked with almonds and raisins was
to die for as were the grape leaves. The crowning glory was the falafal though. I've never had
better - this was about as "melt in the mouth" as they come. The owner was very courteous as
well. A definite recommend!! A quick add - the hours listed here are incorrect. The owner said
he's open 7 days a week until 8pm.

I went to this cart tonight after work as it was the only cart open in that area late. The shish
tawouk and stuffed grape leaves were delicious and even better the owner threw in some of the
tasty Egyptian rice for free. Can't wait to try the falafel and other offering off the menu!
Definetly my favorite new cart in that part of town.

I tried this cart today at 2 p.m. and got the chicken schwarma sandwich and fries. The sandwich
was excellent. Very fresh and tasty ingredients and delicious sauce. The fries were also really
tasty. There was some kind of magical seasoning sprinkled on them that made them extra good.
Everything was obviously prepared and packaged with a great deal of care and pride. I will
definitely be hitting this cart often.

Location: SE 12th
and Hawthorne, Portland Description: I had the pleasure to meet Greg,
the owner of Whiffies, a month or so ago when he first announced he was opening his pie cart. We
linked up on Twitter and then enjoyed a food cart lunch downtown chatting about his cart. I was
intrigued by fried pies as I wasn't sure really what he was going for. When he described them as similar
to empanadas, I could envision it better. After a few weeks of final preparations, Whiffies is
celebrating its opening weekend with some tasty pies. Upon arriving
this evening, the corner of SE 12th and Hawthorne was abuzz with food cart goodness. After greeting
Greg, we ventured to the window and ordered up our pies. Whiffies offers both sweet and savory pies,
the sweet ones being completely vegan. Tonight the options were bbq beef brisket, salmon with
chipotle mayo and veggie for savory pies. Sweet pies included apple, lemon and cherry. The bbq beef I
had was excellent. It had the tangyness of the bbq sauce along with some thick mozzarella cheese
layering over. The salmon pie, well that was just plain tasty. The actual pie texture was the best part of
each pie. It was flaky and crunchy and delicious. We finished the night out with an apple pie. Trust me,
there are leftovers. If
you're out and about in the evening, and you have a craving, check out Whiffies. They will continue to
change out the menu options and may expand to breakfast and lunch. Welcome to the club Greg.
Sample Menu: BBQ beef brisket with
mozzarella - $4 Salmon with chipotle mayo - $4 Vegan pot pie - $4 Sweet
pies (all vegan) - apple, cherry, lemon - $3 Drinks - $1 Hours:

Oh man, I had a cherry and a blueberry pie on Friday night, and at the time, they were the greatest
things in the history of the world. Then, unfortunately, my blood sugar plummeted about an hour
later and I got really sad. But the pies! Oh the pies! I was weirded out by a fried pie, but it was
AWESOME!

well Yarp?! is super happy that Gregg is here in the pod. Yeah his pies are fantastic (at least the
ones that I've tried) but more than that is Gregg is a stand-up guy; willing to help out, eager to
promote all the other carts and shares more than a little of Yarp?!'s weird business model and
attitude. His cohorts are good people as well, and the dogs are tooo cute for words. All in all we at
Yarp?! think that Whiffies is a fantastic addition to the 12th and Hawthorne scene. We know that
they're going to be successful and are glad to welcome them to our little gypsy encampment.

Gregg (Whiffies stud) doesn't open on Sundays, except when he's rocking a benefit like he was
last night. I've tried all the pies now, and I haven't had a "ridiculously" greasy one yet. Perhaps his
oil had cooled a little because of so many pies. Regardless, he appreciates that kind of criticism so
keep it coming. You should come by on Wednesday; I know he's open Wednesday night.

Wow. I like Whiffies cherry pie. Alot. Perfectly flaky crust and delicious cherry pie filling, piping
hot of course.

3 strikes rule already for me! I went by twice when they were closed (after 8 pm, don't know
what's up with that) and a friend who had an apple pie said it was ridiculously greasy. He's pickier
than me so that alone wouldn't have kept me from trying them.

his cart in order to open. Please give him another chance. I'll try and publish some more precise
hours.

I tried the beef brisket pie with mozzarella and I was skeptical. But this was seriously so good. I
kept thinking about it that night and if I lived close to the carts, I might have gone back for more
that same night. It was tangy, but not too BBQ-y, and the mozzarella was the perfect combo.
Cheddar or something more strong would have ruined it. I definitely will go back and check out
the other ones.

Location: SW 6th and Yamhill Description: Lunchtime and you need
something quick, filling and tasty. You don't have the time to run up to 10th or out to Stark, but you're
close to Pioneer Courthouse Square. If that describes you sometimes, you should definitely try Fuego
Burritos on the corner of SW 6th and Yamhill. Here in Portland, I
think we're spoiled by our burrito choices. For food carts, we have numerous excellent Mexican carts
along with Honkin' Huge Burritos and also Fuego. When you arrive, you are usually handed your
scorecard - a slip of paper where you get to choose what you want for a burrito. You can choose from
large or small, chicken or veggie, flour or whole wheat tortilla, sour cream or yogurt, mild or hot salsa.
You can then add cheese or chipotle or guacamole etc. All of this for between $4 and $6 depending on
what you chose. When I first discovered Fuego oh so many years ago, I loved that while they were
making the previous customer's burrito, they engaged you on what style of tortilla you wanted so they
could pre-steam it. Such thoughtfulness. I usually order a small chicken with sour cream, hot salsa,
hot sauce and guacamole on a whole wheat tortilla. I'm a big guy and the small is usually more than I
really should eat in one sitting. All burritos come with rice and black beans, so it is pretty filling once
you put it all together. All
burritos come wrapped in foil so you can be mobile without it splooging all over your nice pants. You
can grab a napkin, a fork and a little paper tray if you like. I prefer to let my burrito rest a little prior
to eating - like when you cook a good steak. I want all the juices and such to relax and meld together.
When they are prepared, everything is spread out, so when you are eating it, you get a mix of all the
sauces, spreads, meat, rice and beans. There aren't pockets of each hidden throughout the burrito. Due
to the nature of how they prepare the chicken and if you get salsa, the burrito will get a bit juicy at the
end, so have a napkin ready. You won't be disappointed. One of the better non-Mexican burrito carts
in the city. Oh, and there are more than one. Sample
Menu: Grilled chicken burrito with black beans and rice - $5.25 small, $6
large Vegetarian burrito with black beans and rice - $4.50 small, $5 large Add
cheese 50c; add guacamole 75c, add extra chicken $1 Drinks - $1 Hours:

Thai sweet chili sauce on a burrito is genius. I'm usually kind of a purist, burrito-wise, but this is
inspired. So good. I usually hit the one on NW 12th and Hoyt, and I think there's one @
Montgomery Park, too.

And one at SW 4th - between Main & Madison. It's behind the Portland Building - one block
from City Hall. There's a great park right there, too, to eat your burrito in.

There's a new Fuego Burrito cart setting up today in Old Town! It's in front of Northwest
Resource Credit Union at 221 NW Second Ave. They'll be there at least all summer.

Morrison, near the #15 bus stop if I remember right.

The burrito I bought from the cart on 2nd was very tasty and the server was great, but she handled
customer's money and then handled my spinach and my tortilla. I would have liked to have seen a
little more hand washing going on.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="Nuevo Mexico"][/caption] Location: N Mississippi and Skidmore (Mississippi
Marketplace) Description: You may think this is another taco cart review. Sure you jest. Nuevo Mexico is a food cart
cuisine we have yet to discover in Portland. While the food does have Mexican influences, it is New
Mexican. And with Jesse Sandoval, who worked in a food cart with his mom at the age of 12, in the
kitchen, you know it is going to be tasty. Oh, and Jesse was the drummer for The Shins to boot.
I ventured down to Nuevo Mexico today at lunch, along with many others
who have been awaiting its opening for a few weeks. I didn't honestly know what I was in for. I new it
wasn't going to be traditional Mexican fare. The menu is pretty simple with only a few items on it. I
like that because it makes deciding so much simpler. I sometimes wish I could walk up to a place and
they would tell me what I was going to eat instead of me having to choose. While I waited to order, a
group of people received their orders of Sopapillas. That is the first item on the menu and what I was
going to order and just seeing it sold me. A sopapilla is made with pressed dough that is then deep
fried until golden brown. It then puffs up, creating a perfect vessel for stuffing. The sopapilla I ordered
was the carne adovada which is described as a "traditional New Mexican pork in adobo sauce."
Marinated Pork? Sold! This carne is served with some beans, lettuce and cheese to fill out the
sopapilla. It was so good. I know adobo can sometimes be hot spicy, but in this case, the spiciness was
more flavorful and not overpowering. The sopapilla pocket, while it is deep fried wasn't greasy, but
more light and fluffy. And Jesse was making them from scratch. Normally I venture off to eat
my lunch at a park or back at the office. Today I stuck around and listened to all the well wishers come
by and welcome Nuevo Mexico to the neighborhood. Jesse hopes to eventually offer some breakfast
burritos, so watch for those in the near future. I love being introduced
to new flavors and spices and other ways people prepare their food. Jesse grew up in an environment
where cart food was paramount and worked with his mother and grandmother for years. Some of that
expertise obviously rubbed off. Welcome to the neighborhood Nuevo Mexico. Sample Menu: Carne Adovada Sopapilla - $5.50
Sopapilla with beef, beans, green chilis - $5 Carne Adovada Burrito - $5 Beef
beans and green chili burrito - $4.50 Green chile chicken stew - $4 Sweet Lunas (a
small sopapilla with honey and powdered sugar) - $3 Mexican Coca Cola - $2
Hours: Wednesday-Friday, 12pm-7pm; Saturday, 11am-7pm; Sunday, 11am-5pm

Great story on them in the latest MIX:
http://www.oregonlive.com/mix/index.ssf/2009/07/how_to_open_and_run_your_own_food_cart.h
tml ... but ... I tried to go there last Tuesday (July 14) and they weren't open then either. I wish
Jesse would at least post a sign explaining why the cart's closed.

Walked 13 blocks today only to find the cart closed, with no explanation. Having grown up in
northern New Mexico, this confirms for me that the cart is authentic New Mexican. Manana, por
la manana.

I ate there for the first time today....great sopapilla...but I'm always a bit fussy about "bare hands"
handling all that stuff that I'm going to be eating...especially when those bare hands are touching
so many other things,including money, etc.

Just wanted to note there is also a vegetarian sopapilla option for $4.50 (as well as a veggie
burrito). I got it on Friday - I think it came with pintos, salsa, chiles, lettuce, and cheese. I assume
this could be easily made vegan without the cheese (but ask first). I'd never had a sopapilla
before, and I wasn't sure quite what to expect. It was really tasty and fluffy - not greasy, like the
review says. Good flavorful filling - a little kick of spice. Overall not too heavy, I was sated but
not drowsy! Important factor for a workday meal. Don't go if you're in a rush, as these are made
to order (and so far, just Jesse working), there was a bit of a wait. Plus, many of the customers
seemed to be friends of his, so lots of chatting going on. Jesse gave me a sample of the sweet
lunas - yum, reminded me of country fair food (in a good way!). A small triangle of sweet puffy
pastry laced with honey & powdered sugar - like a bite size elephant ear. Topped it off with a
Mexican Coke (in a bottle) - so refreshing.

If you can find out the hours, let me know and I'll post them. Until then, and as I always advise
people; if you really want to visit a specific cart it is always a good idea to call first to check if and
when they are open from day to day. Carts often have volatile hours. I've learned this from
experience.

I didn't see a number, but I asked the guy today what the official hours were. The answer: 11 am
- 4 pm every weekday as long as he doesn't run out of dough. Apparently, he arrived to the cart
yesterday to find that someone had unhooked his gas line and let all his fuel run out, so he couldn't
make anything.

Thanks for the update Kody. I think it is important to remember that it is sometimes hard for the
carts - they are often one man or one woman operations with limited resources and extra
challenges (like the above fuel line vandalism).

I ate here for the first time today (lived in NM so always craving green chile!). I was very pleased
with the QUALITY of the sopaipilla but not the QUANTITY. It seems like a snack rather than a
whole lunch. I have been back to my desk for an hour and I'm already hungry again...

Just got back from trying a stuffed sopaipilla from this cart, and all I can say is FINALLY!
Finally, a tiny oasis of New Mexico flavor in this town. As a native New Mexican, I have tried
and been sorely disappointed with the two restaurants who have tried their hands at New Mexico
cooking, The Adobe Rose in Sellwood and Encanto in North Portland. The thing they never got
right was the GREEN CHILE. This new cart got everything right, from the flavor and hot
spiciness of their green chile sauce, to the flavor and texture of the beans, to the light crispiness of
the sopaipilla. I am a New Mexican transplant who goes to great lengths to get my green chile
from Hatch every year and roasts and freezes it so that I can have my chile throughout the year. I
have often wondered why no one has opened a restaurant serving the soul food of New Mexico
and can only surmise that obtaining the right ingredients from the food service companies in town
would be a deterrent. Where are they getting their chiles? The only complaint that I have is that
there needs to be more items to choose from, like maybe blue corn green chile enchiladas with a
fried egg on top, or some posole! I realize these might surpass the capabilities of a small cart, but a
girl can dream can't she? I have a good feeling that they could do these dishes justice. So, KUDOS
and THANK YOU, to the Nuevo Mexico cart, you got it right!!! -- Your new regular customer

Just ate at Nuevo Mexico. The hungry man that I am ate two lunches. I ordered the carne adovada
sopapilla first. It was slow roasted, shredded seasoned pork with pintos, tomato, cheese, and
lettuce in a fried, crispy flour tortilla. Delicious but I was still hungry and wanted to try another
item I ordered the green chile chicken stew. This was SPICY! Had pintos, green chiles, tomatoes,
chicken chunks, and potatoes. Topped with cheddar cheese. My mouth is still cooling down 15
mins later. I am nourished & satisfied. Spent $9.50 on lunch though.

Over all I enjoyed the food. It mostly new to me, I enjoy it though. Growing up around families of
Latin and Native backgrouonds this food seemed familiar to me. The sopapias (yummy) are
basically indian fry bread and the "adovada" is just like the very tasty Mexican beef "adobada".
Seems like they just changed the letter in the Southwest. I think this place is great to start for
those wanting to explore new foods and this can be a bridge to being more experimental with
traditional Mexican and Native American food. Give yourself some time when going. Sometimes
it can be busy or people just visiting and hanging around. Oh and these are not normal business
hours. Make sure to check before you go.

VendrTV, a webisode production that travels America checking out local street food is in town this
week filming. I met Dan Delaney and his crew yesterday just after they finished up with Ziba's Pitas and Spella Cafe up
off SW 10th and Alder. This isn't your typical "hey, check out this food cart" type of filming. Dan and
crew were up early yesterday while they prepped the dough for the Pitas and ground the coffee for the
espresso. I'm really excited to check these episodes out once they air in the near future. Check back,
I'll post a schedule. [caption id="attachment_1000" align="aligncenter" width="300"
caption="Vendr.TV in Portland"][/caption] VendrTV is in
town the remainder of the week and then off to San Francisco and LA. Today, Wednesday, they will
be at Savor
Soup House on 10th and Alder and then at Potato Champion
this evening down off SE 12th and Hawthorne. Thursday takes them down to Sellwood to Garden State and
then in the evening out at The Grilled Cheese Grill and Whiffies. If
your out and about, they would love to meet you. Full schedule here.

Location: SW 6th and College;
PGE Park Description: Koi Fusion burst on the
scene a month or so ago on Twitter. By the time they had their "soft opening," there were lines 30
people deep. Now that is marketing. Koi Fusion's ace in the hole is that they are food cart that is truly
mobile. Koi Fusion does Korean tacos. I was out last week on a
foodcart binge and while we were taking in some Grilled Cheese Grill, I saw a tweet that Koi Fusion
was open up by PGE Park for the Timbers game. No way was I going to miss out on the Korean tacos
on this glutenous day. We headed out in the rain and braved predatory tow trucks to try them out. I had
met Bo, the owner, about a month ago while wandering around the 10th and Alder carts. Bo is one of
those individuals who exudes excitement about what they offer. I got a contact high just from talking
to him. I actually feel bad that I hadn't visited sooner. When we arrived, Bo shouted welcome from
behind the counter to everyone walking by. With such a welcoming gesture. I knew it would be a good
night. We decided to try everything on the menu except for the
burrito. On Thursday night, Koi Fusion was offering up Soul Sliders- traditional sliders made with
their spicy pork. A plate of those and a mixed plate including beef bulgogi tacos, spicy chicken tacos
and spicy pork tacos and we were set. When I think of tacos, my mind goes to the traditional tacos the
Mexican carts offer - smaller in size, but full of carne or pastor and maybe some lettuce. Koi Fusion's
tacos are similar in that they aren't full of extraneous stuff, but I would say they are a bit larger. Bo's
mom is in there making the tortillas by hand. She has her own tip jar. Once you taste one of the tacos,
you'll know why. The sliders were great. The spicy pork isn't spicy until the back end, kind of a
creeper heat, but not overwhelming. There were bean spouts on the top which gave it a little crunch,
mixing with the pork for an perfect taste. The tacos were the real treat. Hefty with either spicy pork or
beef bulgogi on freshly made tortillas, you just can't go wrong. They too are topped with a little slaw,
some bean sprouts and fresh cilantro so you get numerous flavors while eating a single taco. Koi Fusion moves around, so you you
need to keep up with them on Twitter - @koifusionpdx. They announce any specials and location
every day. Most recently they have been parked up by PSU and by PGE park for different events. I
wouldn't be surprised if they show up at some street fairs over the summer. Keep on the lookout.
Sample Menu: Beef Bulgogi taco -
$1.50 Spicy Chicken taco - $1.50 Spicy Pork tco - $1.50 Tofu taco -
$1.50 Burrito - $5 Hours: Lunchtime at SW 6th and College;
evenings at PGE Park (follow Twitter stream for updates) Contact: Twitter @Koifusionpdx or via their website KoiFusionpdx.com INSERT_MAP

I stopped by their cart today, mainly because I wanted to compare their tacos to Kogi, the super
popular Los Angeles-based Korean taco truck. They were out of spicy chicken and I didn't see
tofu on their menu, so I ended up with the spicy pork and beef bulgogi tacos. The spicy pork was
really tasty as it had a caramelized coating. The toppings are really generous and the two tacos
were just enough to satisfy me for lunch.

I love Ko fusion, but it's getting really annoying trying to follow their website schedule (which
isn't being updated) and tweets will list three different times on any given day. I wanted to take a
bunch of people from my office today but we have to drive from NW to PSU so we have to plan it
carefully and at first they said 12:30, then later said 1:30 and finally around 12:15 said they would
be there at 12:40. I know it sounds like I'm griping over nothing but we only have an hour for
lunch its frustrating, especially because the food is so good.

Location: 13732 McLoughlin Blvd - Milwaukie, Oregon
Description: If you ever find yourself zipping down McLoughlin in Milwaukie and
have a sudden hankering for a cheap, delicious food cart taco, there's hope - it's called Maria's Taco
Cart. It's a welcome site for many reasons, mostly because it offers some decent Mexican food for
hungry eaters that don't want to make the trek to downtown Portland food carts or downtown
Milwaukie's Cha Cha Cha or Casa de Tamales. The cart, parked almost across the street from
venerable Bomber restaurant, sits in the parking lot of a closed "gentlemen's club" [the kind with the
signage spray-painted on the awning] and is pretty easy to miss if you don't happen to catch the small
roadside sign. Trust me; you won't be casually strolling by on a leisurely walk. The first thing I
noticed on the freshly printed menu was its lack of prices, but if my order was any indication, the
prices are pretty cheap. Two carne asada tacos, one quesadilla and one burrito totaled $8.50. The two
tacos were spot on - simple, moist and delicious. Toppings? Onion and cilantro, with a lime on the side
making them the perfect combination for the 80+ degree day I visited. Though the quesadilla was
inexpensive [my guess is $2] it was bland and mediocre and made from what tasted like store-bought
Mission flour tortillas and white cheese. That's a deal breaker for me and inexcusable. The bean and
cheese burrito on the other hand was delicious and made with refried beans - greasy, fatty, creamy
refried beans made with God-given lard. I've noticed many carts in town use whole beans in their
burritos or as a side. Though I've been coming around to that style, my money is still on the
traditionally made refried bean dish, the more lard the better. But, the standout of the visit wasn't the
food itself but the red hot sauce - it's some of the best I've had in Portland. Seriously. Most hot sauce
served with meals around town is too smoky for my taste. Maria's was a bright red, chunky goodness
bordering on being too hot without being overbearing. Great colors, texture and taste. My advice: stick
to the simple and delicious tacos and while waiting for your order from Maria, marvel at the non-ironic
1970s soda stickers still adorning the sides of the former roach coach and gaze at the WWII bomber
across the street that rules McLoughlin. Eat standing up, sitting in your car or on the lone picnic bench.
Maria's is a welcome addition to this part of town - here's hoping she starts a trend. Sample Menu: Prices weren't listed, but it's safe to
assume that entrees other than tacos are in the $2-$4 range. Tacos, tortas, burritos, tostadas,
quesadillas, sopas are offered with choices of the following: Chicken, beef, pork, lengua, cabasa,
carnitas, tripas. Maria's also offer a special Tostadas de Camarones - shrimp, cilantro, onions,
tomatoes, avocado, lime. There's also a nice variety of traditional Mexican drinks including Jarritos,
Sidral and Jumex, and Mexican candy. Hours: Daily, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

I think - sadly- that Maria's is kaput. Her cart hasn't been at the spot for a couple of weeks. Will try
to track her down - hopefully she moved and didn't go under.

Hi Everyone! Sorry for the long absence. Been traveling and stuff. Dieselboi has been stepping in to
run the food cart site while I've been gone. So a big shout out to him for keeping things humming right
along. Now for the news: Jr Ambassadors Summer Concert Series. Music and Ice
Cream. Tonight (Friday, June 12), Jr
Ambassadors on N. Mississippi is starting their first Friday night summer concert series! 6 pm,
with the delectable sounds of: Grey Anne, Sally Ford & The Sound Outside, Petoskey, &
dou'ver. Sounds like fun! Food Carts Needed June 17-19th.
Reader Peter Eschright writes: While working on the catering plans for the Open Source Bridge
Conference this June 17-19th at the Oregon Convention Center I realized how difficult it is to access
Portland's food cart cuisine from our location on the east side. Our delicious food carts put Portland's
DIY spirit right in you face. They make you savor it. So, I'm putting out this ‗Call for Cuisine' to see if
there are any mobile food vendors that would be willing and able to set up for lunch or morning coffee
near the venue. Let's show off what the Portland spirit is all about. Please contact me with any
questions you have: Peter Eschright (peter@bridgepdx.org) links: Open Source Bridge Conference
Media Frenzy! There's been so much local and national media interest in Portland's
food carts lately that I really can't even begin to keep up. In May and June we were mentioned and/or
did interviews with the NY Times, Serious Eats, CNet, Associated
Press, on VendrTV, MSN, and have been getting a lot of support
and lot of mentions from Patrick Coleman at the Portland Mercury. (Thanks Patrick!). Upcoming articles in Portland Monthly
Magazine and Bon Apetit. As someone who started this site on a complete whim after a couple of
cocktails one night, it still blows my mind that people actually read it. Thanks so much everyone for
your ongoing support. You have no idea how happy you all make me. National Cart
News Carts are catching on all over. While it is true that food carts have been around ever
since some guy hitched a mule up to a wagon to sell apples, and more global cities have a proliferation
of carts, food carts in different U.S. cities range wildly. Sure NYC has carts, but they are now highly
regulated with new permits next to impossible to secure, and per capita NYC has fewer carts than even
Madison, Wis. Chicago has a growing cart scene, as do Los Angeles, San Franciso and Austin. Seattle
remains a little ass-backwards in my opinion regarding how and when carts can operate, and where
they can set up. Some cities, like New Orleans, have recently passed laws that severly limit carts,
almost making them obsolete. Other cities however, recoginizing the economic and social benefits, are
working to get more carts; case in point Cleveland, Ohio. My mom sent me this
recent article on the city's plans to work with non-profits to bring carts to the downtown area.
Even the high-falutin' Vitra Museum is currently doing a conceptual exhibit on food carts around the
world. Check it out here. So You Want to Open a Food Cart? Ok, it could be because there
are a lot of out of work people right now, while others might just be catching a whiff of the
entrepeneur cart spirit. Whatever it is, I'm now receiving between 3-5 emails per week from people
wanting information on opening up their own food carts. I simply can not respond to these emails
individually. Sorry! That said, I am working with the fabulous Ali and Evan from Little Red Bike Cafe (they started out as a cart) and other cart
owners on a big old resource that spells it all out in graphic detail. Look for it within a month.
Twitter Cart Mania! I'm compiling a list of Portland food carts that are on Twitter.
My goal is to add these twitter addresses to all of the current and future cart listings on the site. Thanks
to my many gracious readers for sending in these addresses. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks to you (and dieselboi) for doing this in your free time! This is such an awesome resource
for those days when I start thinking, what's for lunch today?? And the geographic info is great,
too, for when I'm in other parts of town. Just a note, (not sure where to submit this), there is a
newish cart at PSU (4th/Harrison) that now serves primarily banh mi sandwiches for about $3.50
each. Several varieties including vegetarian. Pretty decent, too - bread is a little crunchy at times,
but good fresh fillings.

Thanks Wayne! No seriously, it still surprises me that people find, read and enjoy this site. I was
so naive when I first started it that I thought it might only take me a couple of weeks to hit all the
PDX food carts and then, that would be that. Ha! That was in that late summer of 2007 and we
(and I say we because I now have other writers) have barely made a dent. Portland. Food Carts.
Portland Food Carts. Who Knew? Maija, you must be a mind reader because I was just writing
about the Banh Mi place when you wrote in. I do like their Banh Mi very much. A wonderful
addition to the Portland cart scene. I'm going to make a prediction and say, I'll bet you a Banh Mi
that in the next six months we see a lot more Banh Mi carts pop up around town. It's the perfect
cart food.

In addition to compiling a list to food carts on Twitter, it would be pretty cool (and simple) to have
a running feed to cart tweets in the sidebar.

i forget if you already posted about this, but i walk by this every day and cant help but (selfishly!)
hope it is a successful venture (since its close to my house). but maybe its a nice match for the 3-5
queries a week about opening food carts.
http://www.missmarketplace.com/topics/announcements/ (food cart "pod" on mississippi?) also,
fwiw, i would be *way* into a quick guide/how-to on opening a cart. my wife actually used to run
one, and maybe some day we will again!! (and yes, THANKS for all you do here.. i love it. the
food carts should subsidize this site! not kidding. haha)

I stumbled onto this page and thought some folks might be interested: we have space for 1 or 2
more food carts in a shady garden with a common family-style seating area. Electricity and water
hookup available. It is located in the back of the same building as Albina Press coffee and
Mississippi Health Center. Rent is $385 per month when in business, $150/month when you keep
your cart here but are gone. There is very little food on this end of the Mississippi corridor so this
is a great opportunity! Landscaping will evolve further in the next month and the handmade family
style table and seating will be delivered this weekend. Call Beth at 503-267-1565 if interested.

Location: SW 4th near College St. (Portland State University area) Description: I love Banh Mi, those distinctive
Vietnamese sandwiches that cause people all over to swoon. In Florida I've heard they are often
called, the "Saigon Sub", while in New Orleans they are known as the "Vietnamese
Po-Boy." As poetic love letters to this humble sandwich, there exist essays*, articles
and even websites in homage to what has to be one of
Vietnam's great French/Asian hybrid exports. Portlanders also love the Banh Mi, and our city has
several different Banh Mi shops, from the hidden hole-in-the-walls, to the elaborate fast food style
California Banh Mi chains. Yet until this colorful little cart popped up a couple of months ago at the
PSU "cart row" on SW 4th, there were oddly few Banh Mi specialty shops to be found anywhere in
downtown Portland. Glad someone finally figured out there is a demand for them downtown, because
Banh Mi makes for the perfect office workers lunch; cheap, quick, easy to transport, and substantial
enough to be filling, but never overly heavy like a "foot long" from that certain sub-sandwich chain
that shall not be named. The no-nonsense named Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwiches
cart does the Bahn Mi right. No stale, refrigerated and shrink wrapped versions here; these are freshly
baked french bread rolls, slightly crackly on the outside and soft within. Made to order sandwiches
come stuffed with one of eight choices of fillings such as traditional "pic-nic" pork pate and other
Vietnamese "deli" meats, grilled chicken, or an occasional Vietnamese meatball special. However, the
Banh Mi here are not as generously "stuffed" as others I've encountered and sometimes seem a bit
toned down for American palates; some are missing some of the funky, fish sauce taste or lemongrass
and other aromatic herbs found in many other Banh Mi. Still, these are still all very good and tasty
sandwiches indeed. A bargain at $3.50, all come dressed with the traditional condiments of
mayo, shredded and pickled carrots and daikon radish, sliced cucumbers, cilantro, and jalapeño
peppers. Vietnamese Cafe Sua Da - iced coffee with condensed milk, a choice of three rice and meat
plates, and a few other drinks round out the simple menu. (End Note* My favorite essay on the Banh
Mi is by one of my favorite food writers, John Thorne. It isn't available online, but is available in his
outstanding book, Pot on the Fire. If you want to know what makes Cuisine Bonne
Femme tick, buy this book and read it.) Menu: (Their words, not mine) 1.

Awesome! That's funny timing that you were just reviewing this place. Banh mi is perfect cart
food - I like it as it's one of the few foods you can eat while you walk. Sometimes I'm in a hurry
(or starving or there's bad weather) and many dishes require sitting down to eat properly. I think
I've seen banh mi at a cart in the 5th/Stark pod as a side item, but never a cart focused on them.
Plus one of the reasons I started eating at the carts was the goal of eating lunch for around $5.
Many carts are now inching up to the $6.50-8 range. I understand food costs, rents, etc have risen,
but still, cart food should be somewhat cheap. So $3.50 for a great sandwich leaves me some
extra $ for chips!

Baked Potatoes
http://foodcartsportland.com/?p=1044
***New Cart*** Location: NE Alberta and 27th
Description: Remember the "baked potato bar" craze of the 1970s and 1980s?
Shopping malls, all-you-can-eat buffets, and school cafeterias all seemed to bust out with some version
or other. One could buy a pre-baked spud, then load up on toppings such as your standard butter and
sour cream, goopey melted American Cheese, steamed broccoli, and "ethnic" offerings such as "Fiesta
Mexica" (some seasoned beef taco filling and mild canned salsa) or "Pizza Italiano" (marinara sauce,
pepperoni and mozzarella). Although the craze didn't seem to quite become the Starbucks of its era, the
baked potato remains a brilliant fast food idea and is perfect cart food since they are easy to prepare,
infinitely customizable, quick to serve and fill the gullet on just a couple of bucks each. The Spud Locker on the site of a former service station on Alberta St.
The owners have put a lot of effort and thought into the overall concept and design; a nice hand
painted mural advertises the cart on the side of the building, the cart itself is a quirky tall one-and-a-
half story affair, there are painted picnic tables under the covered awning, and everything is done up in
shades of gray, orange and green. It's a cute little cart compound, and a great addition to that section of
Alberta St. As stating the obvious, the menu features baked potatoes. But these are
no mere middle America spuds with processed food toppings. The Spud Locker takes the baked tuber
into new territory with menu items such as the Aircraft Carrier ($5.50); a big burrito
sized tater stuffed with peanut curry, mixed vegetables, cilantro, sour cream, peanuts and a slice of
lime. Or there's the dairy lover's Cruiser; described as "Tex-Mex style cheese and
broccoli sauce topped with more cheese, tomatoes and Fritos ($5.50). Those with creative palates can
simply choose their own toppings added to a basic baked potato ($3.00). The Float Your
Boat section of the menu includes things like chicken or veggie sausage ($1.25 add on);
pesto, guacamole, pico de gallo, or cheese (vegan or Tillamook cheddar) for $0.50 each; or other
condiments such as avocado, tahini, sauer kraut, baco-bits, corn, onion, chives, etc. ($0.25 each). There
are even a couple of sweet dessert varieties, including a sweet potato version with a cinnamon roll like
topping. Drinks are simply sodas or bottled water, but The Spud Locker does serve frozen pink
lemonade (16 oz for $2.50) or rotating frozen fruit granitas (16 oz for $3.50). Since they just opened, I was informed by the nice server that "we are still experimenting
with our hours," and "sorry, we don't have a phone number." So, y'all will have to deal with your own
crap-shoot when trying to visit them. Sample Menu: 1. Aircraft
Carrier - $5.50 - Mildly spicy peanut curry sauce, mixed veggies, topped with cilantro, sour
cream. peanuts and a slice of lime 2. Battleship - $5.50 - Three bean chili topped
with cheddar cheese, sour cream and salsa 3. Destroyer - $5.00 - Imported English
baked beans, topped with cheddar, and vegetarian sausage 4. Cruiser - $5.50 - Tex-
Mex style cheese and broccoli sauce topped with more cheese, tomatoes, and fritos 5.
Submarine - $5.00 - Cottage Cheese mixed with seasonal fruits and pine nuts 6.
Patrol Boat - $3.50 - Sweet potato served dessert style (vegan cinnamon roll
topping) or savory style with sour cream and nutritional yeast Float Your Boat (Basic Baked Potato with Butter and Your Choice of...)
Admirals ($1.25 each) - Chicken or veggie sausage Officers
($0.50 each) - Pesto, Guacamole, Fritos, Pico de Gallo, Cheese (vegan or Tillamook)
Crew ($0.25 each) - Avocado, Sour Cream, Tomatoes, Tahini, Nutritional Yeast,
Sauer Kraut, Spicy Mayo, Baco-Bits, Olives, Onion, Corn, Chives Sea Water Frozen Fruit Granita - (16 0z. $3.50) - flavors vary
Frozen Lemonade - (16 oz. $2.50) Soda - ($2.00) Water ($1.00) Hours: Unknown

Definitely survived off cheap "jacket" potatoes in school in England more often than I care to
remember. That, chips, and kebabs were pretty much the only street food in Oxford. This place
sounds a lot more creative than just beans and "salad" added.

As another ex-pat and someone who has already visited this cart, I have to say the (real) baked
beans and sausage Tater is brilliant. The other flavors are all really good as well but the old
standby takes me back to Finchley High Street. Good work fellas + gal.

they were moving downtown at least for the winter, as of my visit on the 2nd September.

SW 2nd? I would love it, as this sounds like perfect lunch food (which is when I'm downtown). I
live near NE Alberta, but I would only be able to hit them for dinner or on weekends & I
generally do more of my cart eating at lunch.

Location: SW Moody and Abernathy in South Waterfront [caption
id="attachment_1065" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Po'Town Vittles"][/caption]
Description: Vittles. Love that word. Vittles. I think I actually use it more in casual
conversation than I am aware of. When I heard there was a cart named Po' Town Vittles, I knew I had
to check it out. It was worth it. Po' Town Vittles had a great menu of sandwiches and salads. I was
drawn there by the lure of fish and chips. I'm a huge fan of good fish and I haven't discovered a cart yet
that offered it. The fish is creole seasoned tilapia and the chips are double fried for extra tastiness.
When we arrived and eyed the menu and specials, I almost changed my mind. Wow, some of the best
sounding sandwiches I have seen offered. They even offer a muffuletta which makes my mouth water
just thinking about it. The special of the day when we were down there was a Carolina Sand Lapper
pulled pork sandwich. My buddy who foodcarts with me daily ordered that and in his words - it was
one of the best he'd tasted. My other foodcart friend ordered a
Spring Chicken Dijon salad with cherry tomatoes, currants, blue cheese and tender fried chicken pieces
on a bed of fresh salad greens. We were all pretty jealous of his meal. I almost abandoned my tilapia to
go order the salad. Wow, what generous portions. Po' Town Vittles is located in South Waterfront, the area down
south of the Marquam bridge where the new condo towers are going up. You can get down there by
car, but it is challenging. I would suggest taking the streetcar or riding your bike. An added bonus
would be riding the tram up to OHSU on a sunny day. Sample Menu:
Fish and Chips - $5 Seafood basket - seasoned tilapia, shrimp and oysters - $6
Spring Chicken dijon salad - $6 Muffuletta - salami, mortodella, olive spread - $5
Fried Chicken - spicy chicken breast with comeback sauce - $5.50 Fries - old school
twice cooked fries - $1.50 and $2.50 Hours: Lunchtime weekdays

I apologize to anyone who's been by the cart lately, because I've been closed. I had some
problems with refrigeration and now after 3 replacement refrigerators I finally have one that is up
and working. I will reopen on Friday the 21st of August. Also, thankyou for the wonderful
review and I will continue to improve my offerings. Soon I plan to add red beans and rice to
complement meal plates like fried chicken, seafood and pulled pork. Later skaters; I hope to see
you in the future.

Over the past month, I have had the pleasure of meeting a new friend, JohntheKiwi. Interestingly
enough, he's been friends with another buddy of mine for years and I am now just meeting him. Small
world. John is also an avid food cart lover and at the beginning of June, he set out on a quest to try 30
unique foodcarts in 30 days. As of Saturday, he's been to 23, so I foresee success. I met up with John
over beers and a meatball sub from Garden State to chat about his adventure. JohntheKiwi (his Twitter handle) has some favorites that he
has returned to a few times- Whiffies and BrunchBox. He even attempted to break the Whiffies PieChamp record,
but only got 6 pies plus some bites of a seventh down in that 1 hour. The first cart of the quest was No
Fish Go Fish, a cart in downtown that serves up soup and little sandwiches shaped like fish. John's
strategy isn't necessarily to grab whole meals everywhere and No Fish Go Fish offered up the ability to
get just the little fish sandwich for $1.50. Eating at carts daily can get expensive. John uses Twitter as a
resource for finding new carts, so if you know of one he should try, tweet him. One feat I haven't even
done is eating all of a day's meals at carts. John did that. The farthest John has travelled for a cart was
to Grilled
Cheese Grill and Po' Town Vittles during the lunch hour. From downtown on public
transportation, those are quite a distance. John's most recent meal as of our conversation was a fresh
taco from Kiko's Taqueria in Sellwood. I can only assume he's been somewhere else since. Way to go
John. Yet another example of how foodcarts can change your life.

What an ignorant comment. Po Town Vittles isn't claiming to be a proper British Chips wagon.
Anyone who's spent any time in the American South, and sometimes the Midwest for that matter
knows that Catfish, not cod is the preferred fish for fried fish including the traditional
accompaniment of french fries. In addition, I've encountered fried tilapia and "chips" in Louisiana
on more than one occasion. Plus, a fish very similar to Tilapia is made in a similar manner in
Vietnam and Thailand. And it is delicious. Finally, food cart food is meant to be cheap. Cod is an
expensive fish. Catfish and Tilapia can be quite good. Who cares if they are "bottom feeders" So is
lobster, crab and monkfish - are they cheap? The lesson. There's more than one way to prepare
fried fish and chips.

Po Town Vittles - Talapia is a very cheap fish to buy. It is along the same quality of Cat Fish.
They are scavengers. In England - Fish and Chips - is Cod Good quality fish makes a good fish
and chips. I would never eat talapia or cat fish.

Location:
SW Stark, just south of 5th ave. Description:
I wander down to the 5th avenue pod almost daily for lunch and when I saw that a certain
gyros cart had moved, I began to wonder what would go in its place. For a couple of weeks, the spot
was unused without indication of whom would join the food cart scene. Then, suddenly, The Swamp
Shack arrived. Do you like Cajun food? Southern flavors? You will enjoy The Swamp Shack. I'm a big fan of rice and beans. Honestly, I could eat it daily and one of my
goals in life is to master really good and spicy (but not overly hot) rice and beans. When I visited The
Swamp Shack, I saw they offered Jambalaya, which is a traditional creole dish of Spanish and French
influence similar to paella. Served with rice, chicken, sausage, tomatoes, celery and spices, you just
can't go wrong. The Swamp Shack's version of Jambalaya was spot on for me. Just the right amount of
sausage, chicken and flavorful spice. I walked down to the fountain and ate it up. The right amount of
everything - even spiciness. The service at The Swamp Shack was fast and cordial, what
one would expect from a southern restaurant. I'm glad they have joined us in foodcartland as I'm a
huge fan of this style of cooking. They do some specials with duck, so I'm intrigued to go back and see
what that's all about. I call it comfort food, but know it may not completely fall into that category. The
Swamp Shack does offer vegetarian and vegan options of their dishes. Sample
Menu: Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya - rice with chicken, andouille sausage,
onions, peppers, garlic, spices, tomatoes - $6 Duck and Andouille gumbo - $7.50
Crawfish Pies - pie filled with crawfish, creole cream cheese, onions, peppers, rice and cream -
$3 Vegan Jambalaya - all the fixin's except the meat, made with veggie stock, eggplant and
caramelized onions - $6 Specials most every day Hours:

I tried the Swamp Shack today...Damn Tasty Gumbo!!!! (Duck and Andouille Sausage) The
price appears to be a bit high and the proportion a bit low (in my opinion), but the taste exceeded
in value. The spice and heat were awesome! And the flavor kept on delivering...until my big belly
finished my lil proportion. I crave more.

I've totally had their jambalaya. It was really good, but I think I still preferred the shrimp
jambalaya from the Southern food cart on 12th & Hawthorne. Still, a great food choice for
you downtowners.

They added crawfish etouffee to their menu. I just tried that yesterday. It was quite yummy -- rich
and creamy with a nice touch of spiciness. Served over rice. Yum.

This place is great! Just had the meat jambalaya (veg sold out) and a crawfish pie. Great flavors
& spice, and perfectly cooked. He apparently keeps the menu simple and executes the shit out
of it. I lived in NOLA for three years and am glad to finally find good jambalaya here. I will be
back to try the etouffee. I love the downtown food cart scene - my kind of food court!

The owner, Trey, is from as close to Cajun country as you can get, without going West of I-10,
and worked for a bit at Galatoire‘s, one of the oldest and most influential New Orleans restaurants.
Trey‘s offerings, in my opinion (and I value my opinion VERY highly), are well thought out,
carefully executed, and are as good as any you‘ll find in this genre anywhere in Portland. We had
the crawfish pies, and the etoufee, and both were spot on for ingredients, flavor, and execution.
I'll be back!

Location: SW 9th
and Alder (on Alder) Description: Sometimes, even during spring and summer, I want a nice warm soup. It has
something to do with that feeling of your whole body warming up from the inside out. Add spice to the
soup and I'm in heaven. In downtown, I have made an attempt to seek out all of the great Phở locales.
Early on, one had to venture to NW to get it, now we have it offered in numerous carts. Phở Sam is the
latest to join the ranks. Phở is a traditional Vietnamese beef noodle
soup. Phở originated in Northern Vietnam more than a century ago and was first served by street
vendors. It wasn't until the 1920's that the first Phở restaurants opened in Hanoi. The dish isn't just
Vietnamese, but has French and Chinese influences. The vendors set up shop in an area of Hanoi that
catered to textile manufacturing and attracted both French and Chinese workers. The chefs drew from
all three cultures to make what we now enjoy as this amazing soup. Phở is strong beef broth with
thinly sliced beef, cilantro, thinly sliced onions and rice noodles. Phở Sam serves the dish how I have
usually enjoyed it - with bean spouts, jalapeno pepper slices, basil, and a lime wedge on the side. You
can then choose how you want to build your soup. Hot sauce and hoisen sauce are always included.
Adding that sweet plum flavor to spicy noodle
soup is a taste I cannot do justice in describing. You just have to try it. Phở Sam also offers Banh Mi sandwiches and
numerous other rice and noodle dishes. They even have Phở with chicken if you are not a fan of beef. I
have been back for a Banh Mi sandwich and for $3.50, it is a great deal and a very good sandwich.
While summer is indeed here, there will be cool days. If you are out and about on one of those days,
check out Phở Sam for some great soup. Sample
Menu: Phò - beef noodle soup - $5.95 Lemongrass chicken with
rice - $5.75 Grilled pork or lemongrass chicken over rice noodles - $5.95 Banh Mi
grilled pork sandwich - $3.50 Hours: Lunchtime, Monday through Friday

The more banh mi the better, so I might have to try this cart. I hate to be "that guy" but... while
that is indeed hoisin sauce, hoisin never contains any plum.

Les, thanks for the correction. Hoisen sauce is one of those items I took for granted, thinking I
knew what it was. I stand corrected. I'm intrigued about what is in it traditionally, because those
flavors individually don't sound too sweet to me. Water, sugar, soybeans, white distilled vinegar,
rice, salt, wheat flour, garlic, and red chili peppers. I understand they sometimes use sweet potato
also. Maybe that is why I was thinking plum.

caption="Rick's Wild Seafood"][/caption] Location:
SW 3rd and Ash St Description: One of those days. You wander and you wander by 10, then 20, then 30
different food carts and nothing strikes your fancy. You just about to grab something you know will
be good, but it isn't what you're craving when you decided to walk another two blocks. Those two
blocks will be the best decision of the day. What I discovered at the end of those two blocks was Rick's
Wild Seafood, a brand new cart serving up fish and chips. Exactly what the doctor ordered. As I walked up to this shiny new cart, wondering what they were serving, I
spied the giant fish on the top and chuckled. Not many carts have mascots or signage that depicts their
food. Immediately, I saw Ben, the part owner and head chef. I met Ben in the past year through friends,
so was immediately excited to see what he was cooking up. The menu spelled it out simply - Fish. This
is the type of cart I will love. They offer one item and they put all their energy into making that one
item perfect. Funny thing - when I was chatting with John about his 30 carts in
30 days, we discussed the need for some more good fish and chips in this town. Well, now we
have it. Rick's fish and chips come in either red snapper, cod or halibut. I believe cod is the tradition,
yet when I asked for a recommendation, Ben suggested the red snapper and I'm glad he did. It was
excellent. Ben batters both the fish and the fries with a coating of spices. I would lean towards lightly
breaded. It wasn't one of those heavy on the coating type of scenarios. The fish and chips are served
with a little chunky slaw and your choice of sauce. [caption
id="" align="aligncenter" width="240" caption="Red Snapper Fish and Chips"][/caption] I was there only a few minutes to enjoy my
meal and catch up with Ben when suddenly he was busy. People were coming from every direction and
soon he had a line. First day and he was busy. How's that for Portland. Way to go. I really enjoyed the
fish and chips I had at Ricks. A good portion for the price and a notch above a traditional style of the
meal. I'm intrigued to try some of the other items on the menu to see Ben's take on them. I will
definitely be back. Congratulations on opening Rick's, welcome to foodcartland. Sample Menu: Fish and Chips - Red Snapper, $5.50; Cod,
$5.50; Halibut, $8 Fish Tacos - 2 for $4 Fish Sandwich - Red Snapper, $5.50; Cod,
$5.50; Halibut, $8 Shrimp Burger and Fries - $5.50 Shrimp Cocktail - small, $2.50;
large $4 Hours: Every day (including weekends) 11am to 4pm

I just had the halibut fish-n-chips for lunch today, and it was quite seriously the BEST. HALIBUT.
EVER. The fish was firm, flaky, lightly breaded with herbs and spices, and fried ever so gently.
The fries were nicely seasoned, not too salty, and also fresh and flavorful. The portion size was
just perfect for me -- I hate going to restaurants and getting an enormous plate, half of which ends
up going to waste. I've had some good, good halibut in my adult life, but Rick's halibut
completely eclipses anything I've had since childhood. I think I shall have to go back tomorrow for
the red snapper!

I was literally in line at another food cart when I saw the Twitter buzz on opening day. I
skedaddled down there, only to find they were already out of fish! But 'm not complaining, I work
a stones throw from this cart, and give me a week I'll have tried all 3 fish types. Day 1 all they had
was Salmon burger or Shrimp Burger, but I'll be damned if it wasn't the best Salmon burger I've
ever had! Can't wait to try the rest!

Hey there, Mr. B., I'm curious to find out whether it was happy coincidence or sly photo-mastery
that had that portion of the billboard visible behind our fish: "not one ounce [of] compromise"
We'll make damn sure to live up to that! Nicely done. :) -=the other Mr. B.

Really good fish tacos. The snapper was great! Once they get used to the pace that they could
draw, it will be quite a little place.

So I went down today, and as I waited in line was told they were working out some bugs, please
be patient. Roughly 20 minutes go by before my order is taken. Once placed it was about 5
minutes before it was ready. I gave the man 20$ for my Snapper fish & chips and a coup of
chowder which should have been 8$. I got 9$ in change meaning they charged me 11$. Now the
portion was pretty small, both the soup and the meal. I did not notice my change until I was back
at the office... so what to do? The food itself was ok, the fries bland, but the fish good, just not
enough of it for my money even at 5.50$ there needs to be more than just one patty of fish. I don't
think I'll go back.

Thanks for all the comments. Shane, that is too bad that you didn't get the proper change. I bet if
you go back, they'll rectify the situation. I say let them work out any kinks and check back. I
know I will because I enjoyed the food.

Hey Shane, come down when you're able and I'll personally make you lunch and return the $2 to
you to make up for the the missing fillet (the fish & chips is supposed to have two) and the
oversight with the change, too. We were slammed on our second day open (its GREAT) and
figuring out the labor required to meet the wonderful demand. Just ask for Benjamin and I'll make
amends! Thanks for trying us out, sir. We will sink or swim depending on Portlanders love for
their food carts. Oh, and I can confidently say that the fries' blandness was certainly a fluke! (Ok,
no more fish metaphors!) -=B

I had the red snapper fish and chips. The fish was nice and moist, the batter good and crisp. A bit
bland for me, but I don't know much about what snapper tastes like. I could definitely use a more
flavorful batter, though. I really liked the fries, though. Too many places serving fish and chips
kind of overlook the "chips" aspect. Theirs weren't soggy, and were seasoned/coated in something
tasty.

JohntheKiwi: We're working out new ways to meet the wonderful demands of PDX's avid
foodcart aficionados, so look forward to a full compliment of backstock in the coming days. Also,
to clarify, though we sold out of fresh fillets by 1pm on our first day, we were more than happy to
offer our delectable Alaskan Salmon Burgers and Southern-style Shrimp Burgers. I'm happy that
you enjoyed yourself! :) Todd: Much of the mainstream chip shops serve battered & fried
Cod or Halibut, either out of tradition or price concerns. We, on the other hand, are able to offer
the more flavorful (and under appreciated) cousin to the Perch, the Pacific Red Snapper.
Additionally, I've chosen highlight the flavor of our fish with a lightly seasoned breading instead
of the typical thick batter that tends to restrict the palate's enjoyment of the meal. We're always
open to guests' criticism and are glad to hear that you appreciated the new take on the chips!
Shane: Thanks for that, we'll look for you tomorrow! Just ask for Benjamin :) -=B

Well, it was worth going back that's for sure. I brought some friends with me and we had a great
lunch sitting in the sun, enjoying some good food. The fries were crisp and flavorful, the
Sandwich was very filling. Ben gave me a refund, but it went strait into the tip jar. Well done my
man, well done!

to spend a ton of money and the food is tasty. I'm hoping they might consider adding shrimp
cocktail to their menu for these warm summer days though :) I will definitely be back!!

Finally I can get fish and chips on my lunch break! I ordered the cod basket yesterday, my friend
had the halibut and another friend the red snapper. The cod was excellent, thick portions, the
texture was perfect and the seasoning just right. The staff was friendly and the food was
outstanding. I would like to see a 3 piece basket option for the cod and root beer canned soda, for
some reason root beer goes great with fish and chips. The cole slaw was tasty and the fries as
well. Today I'm heading over for some more cod and chips and this time I'll rate the chowder!
Thanks Rick's Wild Seafood! I'll see you at noon (c:

wow! I devoured my order of cod & chips & slaw last week when I ate here. Things I
appreciated: clean, sharp-looking cart; fish wasn't over-battered; fish tasted good not funky; tasty
fries; vinegar for said fries; not-too-much-mayo-slaw. I will definitely go back here - reasonable
prices for the quality plus several other options that sound great (tacos, etc). I spent my early
childhood years in NZ where fish & chip shops are standard for every neighborhood, so
eating fish & chips outside just feels like summer to me.

Please update the prices. They have gone up. I had snapper fish tacos the other day. And
although they were quite good, I felt they were on the wimpy side. I'm not a huge eater, but I was
left not-quite-satisfied with the portion size. Hope you can work that out!

discussed the need for some more good fish and chips in this town. Well, now we have it. Rick‘s

asked for a recommendation, Ben suggested the red snapper and I‘m glad he did. It was excellent.

The prices have gone up $.50, at least on the items like sandwiches and fish & chips. This
seems to be de rigueur for new carts, though, as they try to differentiate based on price to gain a
following, then increase to improve (or recover) a margin. Or maybe they're initially bad at
pricing. I ordered the red snapper sandwich. The portion size for the fish was on the niggardly
side. There was a single, breaded fillet in the sesame bun, leaving half of the sandwich as spongy
wings with cole slaw. Picture an isosceles triangle of fish, about 3/4" thick, that occupies 1/2 the
total surface area of a Franz hamburger bun, and you'll have an accurate image. It was definitely
not what I expected for $6, but I didn't discover this until I'd walked the 8 blocks back to my
office. This seems to have been a problem for other reviewers; there were no others in line when
I ordered, so I have a hard time believing it was a simple error. However, the food was fairly
good. The fries are like thicker versions of those found at McMenamins, but are seasoned nicely
and do not come across as greasy. What little there was of the fish had a light batter with a well-
balanced seasoning, and the flesh was flaky and moist. Overall, the food was good but in terms of
price/performance, it was lacking. I'll probably give their fish & chips a shot in a couple of
weeks, but will plan to eat at one of the tables, in case there are similar issues with that order. Six
dollars for a handful of fries and a smallish wedge of snapper is unreasonable.

Went there on Saturday. The fish was very fresh and cooked perfectly. I found the fries to be
greasy, soggy, and bland. The person working was friendly and efficient. I look foward to trying
different items besides the fish and chips. Also, they sell fresh fish at a very affordable price.

I tried the cod fish and chips, the fish was good. The slaw was just okay. The fries were sadly
disappointing: soggy, mushy, slightly greasy and overcooked, and very bland. I added salt and
pepper just to make them edible. Judging from the reviews so far they seem to go back and forth
between this description and a better version... maybe cooking up too large batches and then
reheating too long? I am glad to see a fish and chip cart around as the fish and chip options are
sadly lacking around here, and will probably try this again for the fish. It would also have been
nice to have third piece of fish at the expense of some of the slaw.

When I started Food Carts Portland in September of 2007, I had no idea what it might become. I had
no idea how many carts there were in Portland. I had no idea how popular and outstanding many of
them are. I had no idea there would be a fierce, fun and rapidly growing community of incredible cart
owners and food cart fans; not just in PDX but on a national level as well. I had no idea how many
wonderful people I would meet, and how many new and fantastic opportunities running this site would
bring me. I had no idea how much work this site would be, but I also had no idea how much fun I
would have running the site. Fast forward to June 2009. It is with some sadness, but a whole bunch of
excitement, that I am announcing some big changes coming to Food Carts Portland. Due to work
duties and other priorities, and a mostly full-time relocation to somewhere far away from the
Northwest, I am now handing over the site to Dieselboi. He's been doing a swell job
helping me the past few months anyway, and has already stepped in to take over a lot of the day to day
operations. I know he'll do a great job. So here's the deal: I'll still be involved for at least the next six
months. I'll still be writing for the site when I'm back in Portland (if Dieselboi will let me), and I will
still be just as committed to supporting Portland's wonderful food cart scene. Dieselboi is now in
charge of the site including moderating comments, editorial content, media relations and all other
communications. I want to thank everyone here who's helped us make Food Carts Portland what it is.
There are too many to list all of you by name, so my apologies in advance. Thanks to our readers and
commentors; all those writers who have graciously provided the site with your voices; Guilty Carnivore for creating the banner; and the Portland and
national media and bloggers who have been terrific about mentioning and linking to the site. Of
course a GIANT WET KISS and BEAR HUG to all of the hard-working, creative and talented cart
folks. You all are the real heroes here, and I know how hard you all work and how intense and grueling
your jobs can be at times. Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing Portland with such terrific
food at such terrific prices. I'm even going to thank some of the good people at the City of Portland
and Multnomah County who, unlike most other municipalities in other places, are actually quite
supportive of Portland's food carts and work hard to keep advocating for the carts within the city
"machine". I know it ain't easy sometimes. We have something very special here in Portland with our
food carts, and it's because of all of you. I do need to give extra special thanks to Food
Dude from Portland Food and Drink.
He's the invisible hand and guiding force behind Food Carts Portland. He's the one who built the site,
let's me hog up his server bandwidth, responds to my 2AM panicked emails when I need something
fixed, and has always been nothing but encouraging, helpful and inspirational. In fact, you all can
really thank Food Dude for this site in the first place. He's the one that got me back into food writing
after an absence of many years, and was the one that suggested I start a special site just for food carts.
Thanks Food Dude. Your absolute patience, mentoring and friendship means more to me than you'll
ever know. And if you want to thank him yourself, please go leave a donation over at Portland Food and Drink. That said, please feel
free to stay in touch. I can be reached at Cuisinebonne at that gmail dot com address, or Dieselboi can
get you in touch with me here. I travel a lot, all
over the world in fact, and love meeting up with old friends and new faces. But if you ever find
yourself in my newly adopted home city, give me a holler. We'll grab a Lucky Dog or a Snowball
together. So Dieselboi, take it away... Happy Cart Eating, Cuisine Bonne Femme

I think I speak for most of the cart owners when I say thanks for all the support. You've been
instrumental in making the PDX cart scene what it is. We at Yarp?! hope that your new life in a
new city will be full of good food and good people. Anytime yer in Puddleton come down to
Yarp?! and let us show our appreciation. Fortunately you are leaving the site in good hands.
Dieselboy is a worthy replacement, although I don't think I've met him personally, I do think I've
seen him lurking at Whiffies waiting for pie. So the offer goes out to him as well. Wander over to
Yarp?! sometime and introduce yourself; we'd like to extend our appreciation to you as well.

honored to have been asked by CBF to write for FoodCartsPortland. This site was one I put on a
pedestal. CBF is an amazing resource for all things food and drink and I have learned so much
from her over the last few months. I can't say enough how thankful I am to know CBF and be
included in this amazing period of Portland's food culture. Keep it up. I only hope I can live up to
all of your expectations. See you at the carts!

comparison posts. Which cart makes the best pad thai, steak burrito.. you get the idea. This is one
of my absolute favorite blogs, thank you so much to everyone for making it possible!

Best of luck big sis! You've been a great supporter of me and my cart. Once you're settled...I'm
coming down to see you and we can sit in Southern slow time...eating up some fried
deliciousness...like beignets. This blog is super fantastic and I think it's a great inspiration to food
lovers and dream seekers. Much Love!

Thank you for this site!! When I first started working downtown about 4 yrs ago, my goal was to
keep lunches out around $5, which obviously led me to the food carts! This site has been huge in
keeping me updated about new carts and new pods, and I am eternally amazed how I can eat food
from around the world within a mile of my work. Thank you, thank you! And thanks to
dieselboi for stepping up to continue its prosperity.

Our good friend JohntheKiwi emailed me the following about his experience in Portland's
FoodCart scene during the month of June. Well, it's over folks. 30 food carts in 30 days. To be
honest I thought I could do 30 in less than 30 days, and I set a pretty good pace at the beginning. But
the thing about Portland's food cart scene is that there are just so many good ones, and I found myself
returning to a handful of them more than once. I'm a purist, and I didn't count return trips, nor did I
count the crappy fry carts down at the "Fun Center" on the waterfront. I didn't even count Saturday or
farmers market carts in my final tally of 30 unique carts in 30 days. All in all, I visited food carts 39
times in 30 days. Here is the final list of the 30 unique carts (alphabetical, with general area noted): #1 Bento Korean
BBQ (SW 9th and Alder) Brunch Box (SW 5th and Oak) Bubba Bernies (SE 12th and Hawthorne) Choza's
Taste of Peru (SW 9th and Alder) Eurodish (Polish) (SW 9th and Alder) Francisco's (SW 3rd and Stark) Garden State
(sellwood) Grilled Cheese Grill (NE 10th and Alberta) Huongs Vietnamese
(SW 9th and Alder) Jean's Hot Dog/Square (Pioneer Square) Just Thai (SE 3rd and Stark) Kiko's
Taqueria (Sellwood) La Jarochita (SW 5th and Oak) Lady Thai (SE 3rd and Stark) No Fish Go Fish
(SW 5th and Yamhill) Original Chopollos (SW 4th and Hall) Perierra creperie
(SE 12th and Hawthorne) Phillies (SW 5th and Oak) Po' Town Vittles
(SW Moody and Abernathy) Potato Champion (SE 12th and Hawthorne) Rick's Wild
Seafood (SE 3rd and Ash) Rip City Grill (SW Moody and Abernathy) Savor Soup
House (SW 9th and Alder) Shelly's Garden/Honkin Huge Burritos (Pioneer Square) Smokin' Pig
(SW 5th and Oak) Spoons on 5th (SW 5th and Oak) Spud Locker
(NE 27th and Alberta) Tito's Burritos (SE 3rd and Washington) Vietnamese Banh Mi (SW 4th and Hall) Whiffies (SE
12th and Hawthorne) I hit Whiffies, BrunchBox and Savor Soup House multiple times, and, had
Rick's Wild Seafood opened earlier than this week I would have been there more than once too. So I
guess you could consider those my favorites. Notable mention goes to the Spud Locker, the best Baked
Potato I've ever had; Shelly's Garden, an old school favorite; and No Fish Go Fish, cuz John is
awesome! Not counted in the 30 are Nut Love, frequently at Saturday market, and Zuppa, which was
at the organic brewfest and frequent at various Farmers markets. I spent $185.75 in 39 visits, an
average of $4.76, although this is thrown a little out of whack by including $25 spent in one visit at
Whiffies, in my unsuccessful attempt at a pie eating record The average of the actual 30 is a budget-
friendly $4.05 per day. Stay tuned for August, in which I attempt 30 breweries in 30 days!
Thanks John for your report. See you at the carts!

Congrats on your success & hope you have a frequent buyer card with us. We're sympathetic
to beer munchies so if you find yourself a bit sloshed (in the daytime?) and in need of greasy
sustenance, come on over, brave pineapple-Ucanhas-eater!

Location:
SW 3rd and Ash [updated 9/09] Description: Up on the west side of 10th ave
some new carts have sprung up - Nong's, Savor Soup house and now The Limp Noodle. I chuckled
when I first saw the name - pretty cheeky and a good play on words. You cannot miss this cart as it is
bright and shiny - a fire engine red cart standing out on the lot. [Update 09/09 - Limp Noodle has
moved their cart down to SW 3rd and Ash] The Limp Noodle is a
pasta cart. I think it may be the only one in town that focuses specifically on pasta dishes. They offer a
few different types of noodles and your choice of sauces. Whenever trying something new, I always go
for a favorite of my own, so when I visited, I picked up penne with meatballs and marinara. The
amount of food I received was more than I expected. The flavor was just what I expected - a marinara
sauce with meatballs. Usually, sauces are either missing something or have too much of something.
This sauce was spot on and didn't have that acidic quality that sometimes happens with tomato sauces.
While I was eating it, someone walked up and inquired as to where I had gotten such a great looking
meal. I'm pretty sure that's a good sign. The Limp Noodle also gets props for keeping it
mobile. While they are permanently parked on 10th and Alder, they broke away recently to serve up
their plates at the recent Sunday Parkways event in North Portland. They are listed as one of the food
vendors all summer, so if you are out this month in NE or in August in SE, say hi and pick up some
pasta to replenish the calories you burned while riding your bike around without cars. Sample Menu: Soup - Tomato Basil -
$2.50 Salads: Caesar - $4.50; Chicken Caesar - $6.50 Pasta - choose from
Spaghetti, Fettuccine or Penne; Tortellini or Ravioli add $1 Sauces: Marinara -
$4.50 Meatballs with Marinara - $6.50 Alfredo - $5.75 Chicken Alfredo -
$7.50 Creamy Clam - $5.75 Hours: Lunchtime,
Monday through Friday Contact: 503 780 0519 Twitter: TheLimpNoodle INSERT_MAP

My name's Matt and I'm the owner of The Limp Noodle. I moved my cart for the summer because
I will be attending special events and county fairs until september across Oregon/Washington.
Business was a bit slow at this location but I may return there in the fall. I also might move to a
different location. But my trailer will be gone for the whole summer.

The Limp noddle was one of my favorite carts. I love pasta, so it was always a simple choice for
me. I have ordered most of the items on the menu and was pleased with all of them. The food
isn't too heavy or rich, it's just right. I am sad that they will be gone for the summer, but at least it
gives me something to look forward to fall for.

I have to write in about this food cart and comment on their meatball subs! These meatball subs
are truely the best I have ever had! Their Italian sodas are really good too! Great combination.
Visited them at the Sunday parkways here in Portland...can't wait until Fall so I can have some
every week!

Ate there today (9/23/2009). The menu was less extensive than is listed on this site and the food
was cold by the time I walked back to my office in big pink. I tried the raviolli and marinara and
thought the raviolli was a big undercooked. Maybe a bad day for them. I look forward to trying
the meatball sub.

I have some news to report in the land of foodcarts: There are two new "pods" being opened in North
Portland in the near future. On N Williams and Shaver, they
will be developing a spot for 3 carts. I also understand the space may offer some sort of indoor
seating. Rumor needs to be confirmed once carts have opened. If you would like to contact the
developer, please contact me
and I'll pass it on. The second pod, called Mississippi Marketplace is to be
located at the corner of N. Mississippi and Skidmore where an old church was recently remodeled.
The corner lot has a large open space where Tita's Pista used to call home. According to Mississippi Marketplace's
site, they will be striving for a sustainable lot with a focus on recycling and the use of recyclable
containers. I love that they have a mission statement. I also love that it will be just a few blocks from
my house. All the information about the site is on their website. [caption
id="" align="aligncenter" width="240" caption="Future of Mississippi Marketplace"][/caption] __________________________________________________ There is a cart for sale down at
SW 4th and College. That location has exploded in the last 6 months with new carts opening once a
week. The For Sale sign on the cart states $10,000 and to contact Amanda, 503 750 4904. I
understand from the comments that this cart is sold. Thanks. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="240" caption="Cart for sale"][/caption] __________________________________________________ Willamette Week is doing their yearly Best of Portland Reader's poll. This is
your chance to let Portland know what your favorite FoodCart is in the city. Check out the poll here. That's it. If I hear more, I'll pass it on. This week takes me to
some old favorites to check in and see that our info is current. See you out at the carts.

That Mexican cart was sold and is already open as Asaase Ital, an all veg Afro-Caribbean cart! I
ate lunch there today and it was great. I don't know anything food cart related, but I do know that
N Williams and Shaver is the location that the old Cyan leasing office is supposed to be moved to.
It's been fully deconstructed here on 4th, so I don't know where it's at now. It be kind of cool if it
had anything to do with the carts, but sad if it's going to displace them.

i also am anxious about some cart action on skidmore/miss. (crosses fingers for an indian cart.)
today they have really torn up the lot and are doing tons of landscaping prep. fwiw, if people are
looking for food carts to buy, craigslist probably has around 10 a week (some repeats, sure) up for
grabs. just for kicks, i watch this rss feed:

I had the "red-red", black-eyed peas in spiced tomato sauce with fried plantains and cassava grits.
It was actually a pasty consistency, and really dense, but different and tasty. They do a couple
combos like that - there were some lentil/bean and leafy green curries, they have a tofu scramble
breakfast with potatoes and "Fry Bake" - little puffs of fried bread it looked like. Sambusas,
peanut soup, and palm nut soup. The small curry plate was $6 and the large was $9. And jerk
chick-un, of course. :) They are kind of in a bad spot in the corner of the lot - so go show them
some love!

not exactly food-cart related (sorry), but apparently this is what is going to go into the *building*
at skidmore/mississippi, to be surrounded by (hopefully) many carts: http://www.prosttavern.net/
if you are to trust the giant posters in the windows there, anyway. haha

@devlyn -- sorry to disappoint, but there won't be food carts at Director Park. The owner of Roux
in N PDX is opening a restaurant there though called Violetta. I think there will be a lot of
outdoor seating, so it will be a nice spot to eat food cart lunches in.

Description: EuroDish calls their food "Traditional Polish Home Style Cuisine."
When I see the words traditional and home style together, I get a little excited. To me, it means
someone is trying to harken back to days of yore and replicate what they know to be the food of their
homeland. At EuroDish, the owner is succeeding. EuroDish has been around now for a couple of
years, so obviously has worked out any kinks and has a strong following. I have visited a few times in
the past and have always enjoyed my meal. EuroDish's traditional Polish fare is made up of many
different options. You can go simple and get a kielbasa sausage on a french roll or get crazy and have
one of the combo plates which could include pierogies, salad, schnitzel, blintzes, and bigos. A pierogi
is a polish home style dumpling filled with seasoned potato and cheese or cabbage and mushroom or
meat. Bigos is traditional hunter's stew - beef, pork, sausage and tomato sauce stewed in sauerkraut...
All that together would truly fill one up. And these are just a couple of the items on the large menu of
lunch and dinner options. Recently, I opted for one of the combos shown in pictures outside the cart.
A huge plate of food including a salad, some rice, pierogis, and two pork schnitzels, smothered in
grilled onions. I dove in and was in food heaven. I lived in Austria for a time, so am familiar with
schnitzel, but haven't had it in a few years. The schnitzel I had that day brought back some great
memories. It was perfectly breaded and seasoned and cooked perfectly. The crust had a sweetness to it
at times that surprised me and forced me to eat more. The dressing on the salad was surprisingly good
as not many side salads at carts impress me. The pierogis were what I expected, little dumplings of
yum. The entire meal was fabulous. I actually wasn't able to finish. [caption id="" align="aligncenter"

Great stuff. I eat there every so once in a while for lunch. Got to get my perogi fix. And the
"Bigos" hunters stew also makes me come back. Its a excelent mix of meat, sauerkraut, and
chopped sausage. And then theres the actual sausage on the side. No words necessary. Add all
that together and you get the best combo 1. Its my favorite.

caption="Mississippi's Delta BBQ"][/caption] Location: SW 4th and
Columbia Description: I was wandering down 4th ave on my way to the carts down by PSU when I wandered by
Mississippi's Delta BBQ. I paused for a second then walked on, not sure if I wanted BBQ or not. It
only took me about 1/2 a block until I turned around, walked back and met Brian, the owner of
Mississippi's Delta BBQ. And I'm glad I did. Mississippi's Delta BBQ
offers up pulled pork, beef brisket, turkey and sausage. Nothing fancy here, but good food. Brian
began describing how long he had prepped the pork and beef, making me salivate and wishing I had
the BBQ gene. Since it was a new cart and Brian had a nice smooth southern accent, I asked if he had
recently moved here. Nope. Brian came to Portland a few years ago to attend Western Culinary
Institute and stuck around. I'm glad he did. Mississippi's Delta BBQ is his way to venture off on his
own. Eventhough the pulled pork looked and smelled divine, I opted for the beef brisket sandwich. I'm
a sucker for beef brisket. Brian prepared the thinly sliced brisket on a bun with spicy BBQ sauce and
then topped it with slaw. What a monster of a sandwich. While it is raining today, it will be sunny again and
that means BBQ weather. Head on down to Mississippi's Delta BBQ and say hi to Brian. He'll set you
up. Brian, welcome to foodcartland. Sample
Menu: Smoked pulled pork sandwich with slaw and BBQ sauce - sm. $3; lg.
$5 Smoked beef brisket sandwich with slaw and BBQ sauce - sm. $3; lg. $5
Smoked turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato, cheese, slaw - $5 Sides - Mac slaw, cole
slaw, BBQ baked beans - $1 Hours: 11am - 2:30pm Monday through
Friday Phone: 503 869 8184 Website: www.mississippisdeltabbq.com

These guys were out in the same spot last summer. I think they also offer catering as well. I don't
see it on your sample menu, but last summer they offered a vegetarian option that was an awesome
BBQ portobella mushroom sandwich (with slaw on it). I'll have to swing over & see if
they're still doing that.

***New Cart *** Location: SW 4th and College Description: I was waxing poetic about
another cart the other week on Twitter when one of our followers asked if I had tried the Portland Soup
Company. I hadn't, so we set a date. Thank you @sarahsthreads for introducing me to such a great cart.
Upon arriving, I knew from the craftsmanship of the cart itself, the food had to be great. The Portland Soup Company offers up soup obviously, but also sandwiches
and salads. The day we arrived, I was drawn immediately to the slow smoked pork butt sandwich and
almost ordered it with a yell, but then I saw the Cajun andoullie and chicken gumbo. The choices. Oh,
and an arugula salad. What is a boy to get? I inquired about a soup and sandwich combo and they offer
$1 off either one if you do that, so I got a 1/2 sandwich and a cup of soup. While they were prepping
our food, I inquired about the cart since it was beyond what normal carts do - cedar siding, trimmed
windows, scroll work on the cart name. One of the gentleman inside stated they built it from the
ground up on a flatbed. Looking inside, you could probably make a home out of it it was so
roomy. The gumbo was just perfect. When I popped the top, I was
greeted with large chuncks of okra, one of my favorite vegetables. I realized I didn't get a spoon and
only had a fork, but that gumbo was so chunky, I didn't need one. The gumbo was fabulous. Half way
through my rather large "cup" of soup, I remembered I had this 1/2 sandwich to explore. The slow
smoked pork butt sandwich is served with a slaw made up of thinly sliced apples and red cabbage. I
ordered it on ciabatta, but couldn't pick it up and bite in due to the shear size of the sandwich. Mind
you, this was a half order. I slowly ate the slaw by itself until I could manage the sandwich. That first
bite of slaw, ciabatta and pork butt was worth the wait. The pork was moist with that hint of slow
roasting. These guys know what they are doing. Portland Soup Company has joined the numerous
carts now filling up the lot down at 4th and College by Portland State University. When you head
down there, take your food across 4th ave behind the city buildings to the nice hidden park. It offers
shade and quiet from the usual downtown bustle. If you visit Portland Soup Company, tell them
FoodCarts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu:
Roast tomato w/ Argentine Regiano soup - cup $4; bowl $6 Cajun andouille and
chicken gumbo - cup $4; bowl $6 Slow smoked pork butt sandwich w/ purple cabbage apple
slaw - 1/2 $4; whole $6 Hand made mozzarella w/ basil, tomato, balsamic syrup and olive oil

I ate here for the 1st time about 2 weeks ago. Really excellent menu -- it was a struggle to decide
what to get. All fresh ingredients, very seasonal - really amazing options for a food cart - and
healthy options to boot. I had looked the menu another day - they really seem to change up their
offerings frequently, so I like that. I ended up having the Draper Valley chicken sandwich. I
think it had arugula, tomatoes, harissa, and perhaps aoli (?). The soup & salad options all
sounded good, too. I think they offer a soup discount if you bring your own vessel.

Over the past year, the growth in the number of foodcarts has spawned a different cottage industry -
delivery service. While I know some of the foodcarts have worked with Delivered Dish in the past,
these new services are offering to bring you your favorite food by bike. Portland Pedal Power:
This overall delivery service by bike is now partnering with many foodcarts downtown to offer
delivery service. Next time you have a corporate lunch needing catering, pick a cart and call Pedal
Power to bring it to you. Pedal Power can be contacted at 503-764-1415 or
info@portlandpedalpower.com SoupCycle: Self proclaimed Soupetarians, Jed and Shauna launched
this venture out of love for soup and bicycling. Combine the two and you get fresh organic soup
delivered to your door. You can also flag them down and buy it right from the bike. They offer up both
non-vegetarian and vegetarian soups - $9-10/quart. It may not be soup time here in the heat of summer,
but when autumn rolls around, they're going to the top of my Twitter. SoupCycle can be contacted at (503) 320-9610 or
Yesplease@soupcycle.com. ForkFly: While this service isn't specific to foodcarts, they are
partnering with some to offer up special deals for their supporters. ForkFly is a service and Iphone
application that allows businesses to offer up coupons on the fly. Instead of carrying around paper
coupons or spending Sunday morning clipping, you can just download their application and show the
merchant the coupon on your phone. Currently, there are three foodcarts on ForkFly - Rick's Wild
Seafood, Whiffies and Brunchbox. Have a great week and remember to tell them

The Oregonian has started to publish a new magazine that focuses on food, drink and entertainment in
Portland. Our own Cuisine Bonne Femme wrote a great article on Nuevo Mexico called How to Open and Run you own Food Cart. It is such a great article on the
trials and tribulations of opening a new cart and how Jesse Sandoval succeeded. For all of you intersted
in becoming a cartrepreneur, you should read this article. Great writing CBF.

I've seen the magazine and It's a nice slick covered brightly colored production much like Imbibe.
It had some good articles about areas within the city and had real nice adds. I'm trying to find it at

It's actually a monthly mag. We get a ton of them dropped on the doorstep of our building. We've
gotten three so far. They also sell it at the Saturday market by the info area.

It would have been nice if the artical "How to Open and Run you own Food Cart" actually had
information on HOW to open and run a food cart. There wasn't any instructional information in
the article. It was more of a story about a guy who started a food cart.

Also, the latest issue of Bon Appetit (Sept 09) has an article & nice photos of Portland food
carts, including Tabor, Potato Champion, Taqueria Los Gorditos, Junior Ambassador, Ziba's Pitas,
& Crown Q. It's written by Nancy Rommelmann, who I believe is a Portland-based writer.

**New Cart** Location: NW 10th and Hoyt
Description: Beyond buying local, what can a person actually do on the food
security issue? Well, how about start a food cart? That's what Lickity-Split, which
appeared July 20th on the corner of NW 10th and Hoyt St. in the Pearl, did. Once profits start rolling
in, their LLC will donate everything beyond cost and two livable wages to improving the area's supply
of locally grown food. What specifically that will be is up in the air while they go through the early
stages of the venture, which for now focus on feeding customers well and breaking even, but moving
the idea from "local, seasonal and fresh" to "local, canned/preserved and year round" is one goal. One
benefit of stopping at Lickity Split is that you can multitask while you wait to place your order by
engaging the owners in lively conversation on food security. I stumbled upon the cart on its third day
of operation along with a few other curious onlookers, and from the aroma was instantly disappointed
that I'd already eaten my lunch of leftovers. I wasted no time getting there the day after. Shelly O'
Grady, who some of you may know from her days at Whole Bowl in the Pearl, and Daniel Drumright
hook up their serving cart to a tiny all-electric GEM ES series shiny black car and under a ladybug-
motif umbrella serve two kinds of meatballs daily, one vegan and one pork, with a choice of
peppery marinara or spicy green chili sauce and either Tillamook Cheddar or vegan cheese
topping. You can get all this in a panino for $3.95 or on heirloom, sundried tomato
polenta for $4.50. I tried the moist, light pork meatballs in the peppery marinara on the
creamy polenta with the Tillamook. This meal tastes of home-kitchen freshness! And why wouldn't it?
All the produce is from their garden, and the pork from Sweet Briar Farms in Eugene. Yes the choices are limited, but I'll bet there will be little waste and
lots of satisfied bellies with this model. Whole Bowl
has done well with a one-dish approach, as has Nong's Khao
Man Gai as two cases in point. During the summer Lickity Split will also be serving a
cucumber-basil lemonade for $2.50. A cool weather drink will be offered after
September, most likely a hot chai. Hot Lips soda for $2.50 is always a fall back. Kettle Chips are
$1.25. Shelly and Daniel's venture is a welcome addition to the Pearl, where food carts are known by
their scarcity. I hope their arrival augers well for the "cartrepreneurs" in this neighborhood where a
good, inexpensive lunch can be a difficult at worst or repetitive at best experience. Sample Menu: See above description...

Shelly is so alive. I've known her for many years and any place she has worked knows how
blessed they are. This cart went from a dream to reality and it shows. Amazing food, great idea,
healthy for us... healthy for our planet. I'm not shocked as I knew already it was going to be great,
but none the less I am still ultimately impressed. I will definitely be a regular customer.

I eat at carts often and Shelly was a real standout in the cart world when she worked at Whole
Bowl; always a smiling friendly face, remembering customer's names and preferences. People
liked going there because both her and the food made them feel good. Once she started a new
venture, many of us regulars were happy to try out her new cart. It was super yummy and a much
better start than I imagined possible. Plus, it will only improve, as they are still learning as they
go, because a new business is a new business. However, they have all the right ingredients:
excellent service, delicious, healthy food, sustainable practices and making a difference. I will be a
regular, and I too welcome another affordable place to eat lunch. Thanks for the site and the
reviews. It's a useful resource.

OM to the G! I am eating the vegan meatballs with polenta and spicy green chili sauce right now,
and it is delicious! Everything is handmade from scratch with locally-sourced and organic
ingredients. And, the prices are great even by cart standards! I too enjoyed visiting Shelly at
Whole Bowl, and agree that her warmth and friendliness- paired with an uncanny memory for
faces, names and food preferences/restrictions makes her a PDX all-star! Can't recommend
enough!!!

however, the cart wasn't there. my friend and i walked around in a 2 block radius, but found
nothing. are they closed on certain days, open during others other than when i showed up, or just

I stumbled upon this cart today while taking a lunchtime walk in the opposite direction of my
usual route that takes me to the food carts on Alder. The supersize ladybug umbrella caught my
eye - enough to make me curious about the menu. Although pork meatballs sound oustanding, I
opted for the health conscious vegan style with spicy green chili sauce and vegan cheese topping
in a panini. Remarkably good, and a solid fill-the-belly portion. Highly recommend giving it a
try. I know I'll head back there soon.

Location: Various farmers markets and other
locations; also available in certain retail locations. Description: Let's face it, it's hot
outside. So the craving for frozen juice treats on sticks is a natural. Yet outside of the wonderful
Mexican Paletas found at many Hispanic markets, most popsicles found around town
are mainly fake flavored water with food coloring that's been sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.
Yuck. Sol Pops: Sustainable. Organic. Local. Describing themselves as, "handmade gourmet and
wellness pops," Sol Pops makes creative fruit, vegetable and herbal frozen treats sweetened with things
like cane sugar, agave and fruit ciders. Using local and organic ingredients when possible, these are
pops that are highly ethical and fortunately, highly flavorful as well. In the Paletas tradition, Sol Pops
combines things such as cucumber-lime jalapeno; a lemon basil, raspberry coconut milk; and
strawberry lemonade to make quality, refreshing treats that are not too sugary, not too heavy, and super
refreshing. Found at several farmers markets around town in the spring and summer, Sol Pops can also
be picked up at stores such as Hot Lips Pizza, the People's Food Co-op, and New Seasons Markets.
Stay Cool! Locations: (See Sol Pops Website for Updates). Locations include
Eastbank, Portland, King, Hollywood, and Montavilla Farmers Markets. Hours:
Varies Phone: (503) 560-9778 Website: www.solpops.com Twitter: @SolPops

I've always thought Portlanders would
really go crazy meshugeneh for a
good Jewish Foods cart. In fact, rumor has it a certain cafe owner in town thought enough of the idea a
few years ago to consider opening a cart called, 'The Wandering Jew." Still, while The Oregon Jewish
Museum isn't planning on a cart of their own anytime soon, they are hosting the following event: The Oregon Jewish Museum, located at
310 NW Davis, in Old Town/Chinatown is holding a food cart oriented event this
First Thursday, on Thurs, August 6th starting around 6 PM. According to the OJM,
"This is going to be an incredibly unique opportunity to sample a bunch of carts not usually found all
in the same location. It will also be a great chance to hear a bunch of free music, create a bunch of free
art projects, see a great exhibit, and hear the artist talk about his work! AWESOME. But really, the
food carts!" Participating Food Carts Include: Fat Kitty Falafel
Spud Locker Voodoo Donuts Staccato Gelato New Leaf
Organics + maybe a few surprises! LIVE MUSIC will feature
the local bands Sound Semantics, Svila and Gypsy-Klezmer-Punk sensations
Chervona. FREE ART PROJECTS, You know, the fun arts and
crafty kind. ARTIST'S TALK: The museum will be open (with AC!), showing our
summer exhibit, "48 Jews" by Jac Lahav. Jac will talk at 7pm. His work is pretty rad. Take a look at
http://www.actiondocument.com/ You can find out
more about the event at www.ojm.org The OJM also adds, "A
final note about the food: Because we're the Jewish Museum we're asking our vendors to serve only
dairy vegetarian food (i.e. no meat, but dairy and eggs are on the menu!) at the event. So this is a great
opportunity for the veggie-loving food cart fans to try options not normally all found in the same
locale." QUESTIONS? email: education@ojm.org

That is a new cart called Wolf & Bear. Its a middle-eastern, all-veggie cart, run by an Israeli.
But I think it might be a little bit of a stretch to call it a "Jewish Food" cart. But you should check
it out and see for yourself!

Let's see: no meat and dairy mixed? CHECK. Run by an Israeli? CHECK. Serves Falafel, which
just so happens to be Israel's number one street food? CHECK. I'd say they are serving Jewish
foods. Maybe this cart isn't serving Ashkenazic Jewish foods like blintzes, bagels, borscht and
latkes; Sepharidic Jewish or other Jewish cuisines but, it's EXCITING anyway. Wonder if the
Wolf and Bear is Kosher?

[caption id="attachment_1196" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Cobra Dog"][/caption]
Location: Government Camp, OR on Mt. Hood Description:
I've been out on a roadtrip for the past few weeks seeing America. As we rolled through Oregon on the
way home after 8500+ miles, I thought to myself - "hey, we should stop by Cobra Dog while we're in
the neighborhood." I'm glad we did. Cobra Dogs is a food cart up in Government Camp at the base of
Mt. Hood. Cory Grove opened the cart up there during the summer months to cater to the snowboard
and ski crowd. Did you know that Mt. Hood, specifically Palmer Glacier at Timberline, is the only
place in the continental US that you can ski year around? That is why Government Camp is bustling
with teens from every state in the union and beyond who just want some lunch after a long morning on
the mountain. Captive audience. Cobra Dogs sells hot dogs and brats, including veggie dogs. I opted
for the Hot Snake Brat with Cobra sauce and jalapenos. Sounds good doesn't it. A Hot Snake Brat is a
bratwurst on the hot side, similar to a Louisiana Hot. The dog came served on a larger than normal
french roll type bun with the aforementioned Cobra Sauce and a sprinkling of jalapenos. Holy smokes
was it hot. My mouth was burning for awhile after I noshed it down. The Cobra sauce is Cory's famous
spicy sauce that he offers on any order and I highly recommend it. My wife enjoyed the "Very Veggie"
dog. Served up hot, it was a great dog I was told. Cobra Dogs is in its final days of the summer
session. I'm glad I stopped by when I did since they close their doors for this summer on Friday,
August 15. But don't fret, Cory plans on travelling around with the cart to different events, so if you
can't get up there before Friday, you may be able to find him in the fall. I suggest a roadtrip. Oh, and
when you do get your Cobra Dog, be sure to ask for it "Cobra Style" and tell them FoodCartsPortland
sent ya. Sample Menu: All Beef Boa - 100% beef dog - $4.50
Cheddaconda - Frankfurter infused with real Tillamook cheddar - $5 Brattlesnake Brat -
German brat with a hint of black pepper - $5 Hot Snake Brat - German brat on the hot side -
$5 Very Veggie - tofu based veggie dog - $5 assorted drinks and munchies - $1-
$2 toppings include jalapenos, onions, relish, cream cheese, sauerkraut, cobra sauce, etc.

strange weather day back in the first week of June when a freak storm rolled through Portland. Just as
we started filming, the wind was picking up and coming down Alberta st. Such a crazy afternoon.
Made all better by the tasty sandwiches from Grilled Cheese Grill. Enjoy. More at VendrTV

I think you need a new host. Perhaps someone local, hip, stylish & witty. You need someone
that is relatable, flexible and easy to converse with. Dan is awkward and not very influential. Carts
are HOT and trendy and your host looks sloppy and out of style. There isn't anything about him
that screams "take my advice and visit". His interviewing skills are lame and unrehearsed and he
seems to make these vendor owners/employees uncomfortable. Find someone else who looks the
part, acts the part and makes a person really want to go out of there way to check these places out.
Maybe a person with knowledge in culinary training, food trends, fashion trends, design trends,
business sense-not just a person who has a like for food, funky glasses and bad shirts. I like the
written blog and video. I did found a few new carts to try.

Advice, VendrTV isn't part of Food Carts Portland. VendrTV is a production out of New York
that is traveling all over the nation to taste street food and Dan is the host. We posted the above
video as it highlights a Portland food cart and me.

Square (near the corner of SW 6th and Yamhill); SW 5th and Stark Pod and SW 4th and Hall Pod
Description: [Originally written Nov. 2008; updated Aug. 2009] Philadelphia
Freedom! Perhaps it is this monumental 2008 election year, but after dropping off my ballot at the
Multnomah County drop box downtown, I found myself craving a cheesesteak. I mean, really, what is
more patriotic than life, liberty and the pursuit of melted American cheese on tender grilled and thinly
sliced beef? For it was in 1776 that the founders of our great nation declared, in Philadelphia, the Declaration of Independence. In 1976, during
our nation's bicentennial I traveled to Philly for the festivities. Wearing a red, white and blue bell
bottom jumpsuit, star printed tennis shoe laces on my converses and sporting a Dorthy Hamil haircut, I
made the Spirit of '76 pilgrimage. I went to the Liberty Bell, visited Independence Hall and watched
actors and actresses in period costumes and white wigs talk in big words that I had no idea what they
were saying. I do however, remember my first cheesesteak on that very same trip. It was dripping with
grease, filled with grilled peppers and onions, thinly sliced tender beef and loads of oozing American
cheese. It was heaven on a hoagie bun. Philly Cheesesteaks and Burgers knows all
about this particularly American sandwich. Their version is also pretty darn close to the ones found in Philly. With a simple menu that
also includes that other quintessential American food, The Hamburger in all its forms, Philly
Cheesesteaks is a quick, cheap and filling bite of Americana. Sample Menu: Philly Cheesesteaks - Thinly
sliced steak grilled with onions, green and red bell peppers, mushrooms topped with melted white
American cheese and served on a soft hoagie roll. Small - $4.25 Medium - $5.25 Large - $6.25
Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers - $4.00 - $6.25 Soda - $1.00 Extra Steak - $1.75 Lettuce, tomato, extra
cheese, pepperoni - $0.75 extra Hours: Lunchtime Mon-Fri

The election gave me a cheese steak hankering too, however I got mine from Christopher's
Gourmet Grill on MLK. I look forward to trying this one!

My only question is how on earth you managed to write a review about this fabulous PDX cart
without even a mention of Ben the wonderful gentleman that serves up those delicious
cheesesteaks and burgers every Monday-Friday without fail?!? Some days I make the trip down
from PSU not because I'm actually craving that delightfully cheesey, perfectly-seasoned thin
sliced steak on the best hoagies in town (although I usually am by the time I get there), but simply
because I know the five minutes of friendly chit-chat with Ben will be one of the best parts of my
day. From your first time at the cart you will feel like a regular, Ben just has that great style of
banter that pretty much anyone can relate to, and is almost always hilarious. I know that Portland
has more than its fair share of incredibly friendly and wonderful food cart servers, but I have yet to
have another one brighten my lunch hour like Ben does.

***New Cart*** [caption
id="attachment_1209" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Addy's Sandwich Bar"][/caption] Location:
SW 10th and Alder (facing 10th) Description: Sandwiches. Is there anything
more satisfying than a good sandwich for lunch. I have fond memories of making basic cheese and
ham sandwiches when I was a kid. My parents always opted to add butter which I thought was gross. I
used mustard to mix it up. These days, one can find gourmet sandwiches almost anywhere and the
influx of sandwich culture from other parts of the world keeps us on our toes. Yet, I still crave a
simple, tasty, filling sandwich. Enter Addy's Sandwich Bar. Addy's is
brand new, having only been open for about 2 weeks now. I had seen the shiny black cart arrive back
in July, but didn't know it would be Addy's until towards the end of the month when Addy invited
some to a "tasting party." Addy was a sous chef at Sydney's Cafe in NW Portland and had a little get
together to show off what her cart would be offering. Sadly, I was unable to attend that event, so
yesterday was my first foray into Addy's Sandwich world. Addy offers
up a range of sandwiches, both for meat lovers and vegetarians. She servers her sandwiches on mini
baguettes from Little T Bakery. They are
called mini, but they are not hat small, a little larger than a stadium bun or french roll if you can
imagine that. I chose as my first sandwich the Tuna with hardboiled egg. Hadn't ever been presented
with that selection option, so thought I would give it a try. Tuna is one of my favorite lunch sandwiches. This
isn't a chuck of tuna steak, more like the tuna fish spread mom use to make, with a little extra love.
After taking my first bite, I remembered why I love fresh baguettes. There is a chewiness that isn't too
hard, nor too soft. It forces you to truly taste the bread and the work put in to make it. The tuna was
just right. I could taste the tuna, capers, and a hint of red onions. The spread was the right mix of tuna
and the other ingredients without too much mayo or binder. Mix that with the chewy bread and the
sliced hardboiled egg and you have a great sandwich. I finished it. It wasn't too much sandwich.
Upon arriving yesterday, I had to wait in line, which is a good sign for a
new cart. While standing there, a gentleman walked by and peaked in the window to tell Addy the
sandwich was the best he'd had. What an endorsement! Addy's Sandwich Bar offers up both meat and
not meat sandwiches. She also has drinks, including my favorite - Fizzy Lizzy. Next time you're out
looking for a good lunch, check out Addy's Sandwich Bar and tell them FoodCartsPortland
sent ya. Welcome Addy. Sample
Menu: Sandwiches all served on Little T Bakery mini
baguette: $5.50 House cured ham with gruyere and butter Tukey with brie
and cucumber Country Pate with mustard and cornichon Duck Confit with apricot
sauce Tomato basil and mozzarella Brie and cucumber Chocolate with
sea salt and olive oil Organic Salad - $2.50 assorted drinks and chips - $1.5

Thank you for the nice welcome!! I love the eggplant idea, and since I got some in my produce
box this week, (from Organics To You) I think they are destined for a sandwich special. A friend
mentioned a book on terrines that got me thinking about making a vegetable terrine that could be
used in a vegan sandwich. Could be good!

chocolate with sea salt & olive oil?? oh, yum, that sounds dangerous & deliciously
French-y & I can see myself rationalizing that as okay for lunch - it's a sandwich, right? And
chocolate has antioxidants! Little T bread is excellent, so this is very good news. As to Tara's
comment, I guess I'm a little confused by the complaint. Tomato, mozzarella & basil seems
like more than just condiments, and to me, more than just a "salad on bread". I eat mostly veggie
myself & I think the 2 veggie options sound great, especially since it is tomato/basil season.
I would just hope they may change their offerings in the winter when good tomatoes are hard to
come by. A little harsh considering they've just opened & you haven't even tried their
sandwich yet. plus, there's always chocolate if you want a really original veggie sandwich!

I've been to Addy's a couple of times now. Fantastic bread, and the brie and cucumber sandwich is
fabulous. The cukes were thick and fresh and salted very lightly. The combination is simple but
winning. My one constructive criticism is with the duck confit. When I had it, the apricot sauce
completely overwhelmed the duck. Perhaps heating the duck confit before adding it to the
sandwich would kick up the flavor of the duck and balance things out? At any rate, I recommend
Addy's and will continue to hit up the cart.

Stopped by this week to try the "house cured ham" and gruyere sandwich and was pretty
disappointed. More like plain roasted pork (and fairly unseasoned bland pork at that) and the
gruyere tasted suspiciously like plain old swiss cheese. Bread is absolutely delicious, however. I
may be back to try another sandwich on the menu, but I really think advertising "ham" when it's
not is quite misleading.

As tasty as tomato, basil, and mozzarella are, I would really really like to see some more creative
veggie sandwiches. That's like a salad on bread, and disappointing when I see the creativity put
into the meat sandwiches. I do not want condiment sandwiches for meat sandwich prices. :(

I stopped by for lunch today, and tried the Country Pate with Mustard. It was served with sliced
pickles, and nice gourmet mustard. It was really tasty. The bread was excellent, but of course
gives your jaw a workout. I'll be back to try the Tuna next week.

Chocolate, olive oil and sea salt is my absolute favorite dessert. It's a really big in Spain. First time
I had it I just about fainted from the goodness. If they want to up their vegan/veg sandwich
offerings they should try Escalivada on Pan con Tomate. It's a Catalan thing: basically get some
good french bread. Slice in half, grill for a minute, rub with fresh tomato (garlic too if you want),
drizzle with best quality olive oil. Now, add the escalivada. That's slow roasted eggplants that
have been peeled, onions, red pepper (I also like zuchini but it's not traditional). Add sea salt to
taste. Amazing.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a sandwich snob. I also expect the world to cater to my whims. (Maybe
you missed that menu) But *everyone* does caprese sandwiches. I like my cheese as an
occasional garnish, not a meat substitute. To me, caprese is a salad, and just isn't as hearty as the
meat sandwiches. Maybe it's unfair, but I find caprese sandwiches boring and am not going to buy
them anywhere when I could get a good banh mi for half that price. I don't begrudge it being on
the menu, I know lots of people like it, I just really wish we had some more creative veggie
sandwich options at the downtown carts. Now, Cuisine Bonne Femme, that sandwich sounds
amazing!

Tara, I'll let you in on a little secret I've learned over the years with the food carts. Go talk to them
and tell them what you want. Simple as that. Chances are they will listen and respond. I've done
that with several carts and am proud to say I even have a sandwich named after me at Savor Soup
House because of it. Also, do keep in mind they just opened so they most likely will be tweeking
their menu and are looking for ideas of what's in demand. For the wonderful thing (one of
thousands of wonderful things, actually) about the food carts is that that diners have direct access
to the folks in charge of the menus and food. Keep us posted.

Yes, I am rather fond of chatting up the cart owners, too. Haven't gotten a sandwich out of it yet,
though. ;) Only problem is, if I don't want to order what they have on the menu, I feel really bad
walking up and asking questions and then going to order food somewhere else. :(

Everyone, thanks for the comments. See, sandwiches are a huge deal here in this city. I'm excited
for Addy's since they are the first sandwich bar I have found. Granted, others do do sandwiches,
but they are to augment other items on the menu. Addy's just does sandwiches. Tara, I've met
many food cart owners and they love to talk about their options and menu. Honestly, I have
ordered from cart A and then chatted up cart B while I wait for food from cart A and have had no
issues. AND, it wasn't because I write for this site. It was because they want to engage their
current and possibly future customers.

I had the duck confit, but I have to disagree with heather about the apricot sauce (maybe they've
cut back?). I could definitely have gone for more apricot sauce to balance the sandwich better, it
was mostly just duck. All in all it was a very good flavor combination though. The baguettes,
however, are too tough and chewy for me, I'm not a fan of sandwich bread that is so hard to bite
through... it monopolized the sandwich with the toughness and the sheer amount of bread. The
bread is probably going to be the deciding factor in not experimenting with other offerings at this
cart, though it seems like it has a lot of potential. Bread is one of my favorite things to eat, but a
large hunk of bread of this size and consistency isn't what I want to make up the majority of my
lunch.

I actually loved the bread - it was my favorite part, but I like a little chew to my bread, esp
baguette-style. I appreciated how itt really held the sandwich together well (much better than soft
bread), so that I was able to eat it while walking back to work with no spillage. I had the
turkey/brie/cucumber and my only complaint was the turkey seemed a little bland. Maybe I'm just
used to buying more fancy turkey for my sandwiches at home (I usually get honey-roasted or
peppered at the New Seasons deli). I also noticed the day I was there, she has a batch of
homemade sauerkraut started. She said no specific plans for it yet, but I love sauerkraut!

I love this cart. I think it's only gotten better since I started coming here. And she changes it up...
not too much, but enough to keep it interesting. As for the baguette... that's how it's supposed to
be! The secret weapon at this cart is the soups and salads... A lot of carts treat soup and salad as
an afterthought. Glad to say there's no shortage of flavor here. I've had a great mushroom and kale
soup, and I think a lentil soup of some kind. Both were seasoned really well.

Location: NE 27th and Alberta St. [updated 10/09] Description: All Vegan Barbecue. Got
that? All Vegan. I know that immediately throws a curve ball, but once you've tried it, you will say to
yourself - "where has this been all my life?" Homegrown Smoker is taking barbecue in a different
direction, yet with reverence to barbecue's history and style. What is
vegan anyway? Vegan is a the choice to neither use nor consume animal products of any kind. Vegan
is taking vegetarian to the next level. Homegrown Smoker decided to head in that direction and is
succeeding. Having been open now for only a month or so, they are keeping busy. We visited the other
evening for some take home dinner and I wanted to try everything. Luckily, I was with my partner in
food crime, so we did try everything. We opted for the two plates of HomeGrown specialties - smoked
soy curls, field roast chorizo, chronic tempeh ribs, mac-no-cheese, BBQ beans, chipotle slaw, and corn
on the cob. All meals come with molasses gluten-free cornbread. The meal was great. Flavorful, unique, and very
filling. The tempeh ribs were sliced chunks of tempeh marinated in BBQ sauce and then put on the
grill. They had a smokiness I hadn't tasted in a long time, especially with veggie faire. Homegrown, in
standard BBQ tradition, uses fruit wood and other hardwoods to create the smoke that gives the food
that unique smoky flavor. One immediately smells and tastes that element when diving into
Homegrown's meals. The veggie sausage was chorizo style, so, along with the BBQ sauce they put on,
it had some kick. The soy curls tasted just like thinly sliced brisket. The mac-no-cheese is just as it
sounds, mac and cheese without the cheese. It isn't dry or flavorless, just the opposite. The beans and
slaw kept up with the standards we had tasted so far - simple and great tasting. HomeGrown Smoker is launching a new adventure for Portland's food carts. Vegan
barbecue. If you're out and about in NE and are looking for something new and unique, check them
out. Tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample
Menu: Proteins: mini tofu steaks, smoked soy curls, field roast chorizo,
chronic tempeh ribs Smoker Sandwich - any 1 protein served on warm pita with peppers and
onions - $6 Homegrown Specialties - 2 proteins served with 2 sides - $8 Sides -

I was slightly skeptical after a recent review, but if a non-veg likes it, I might, too. What I really
miss is vegan soul food, a la Soul Vegetarian in Chicago. Amazingly, my home town of Little
Rock, AR had such a restaurant and it was amazing and considerably more made-from-scratch and
fresh than this food appears to be. Sounds like Homegrown Smoker really, really needs to add
some greens, maybe some fried okra or fried green tomatoes, or at least some slaw.

As a long time vegetarian, I was SO HAPPY to find this place. Nay sayers take heed, give me
some more of those soy curls. Protein galore and sooooo satisfying - and just $8 for a huge plate
that was easily two meals. I hope they are around for a long time. DELICIOUS.

The new corn bread is not always gluten free - that was a recent change, and they've been going
back and forth on it. So GF folks, make sure to ask! I'm curious to know if the tofu or tempeh are

Here is your midweek Food Cart News roundup: NBC Nightly New producer Joel Seidman was in
town the past couple of days doing a segment for NBC on Portland's Food Cart scene. He's a good guy
and was excited Portland has taken Food Carts to the next level. They got in some great footage of the
carts both during setup and during the lunch hour, an interview with Mayor Sam Adams, an interview
with Jesse Sandoval of Nuevo Mexico and finally an interview with yours truly. We met up at the 12th
and Hawthorne "CARTopia" to chat about the advent of the late night cart scene and honestly, how
awesome it is. No word on when the segment will air, but check back, we'll keep you posted.
___________________ Speaking of Jesse Sandoval, he and his new cart Nuevo Mexico were profiled
by the one and only Cuisine Bonne Femme in MIX magazine. If you ever wanted to know about the
trials and tribulations of opening and then owning a cart, you should read this article. Jesse is a great
guy with a great story. Read the article here. ___________________ Whiffies, everyone's favorite late night
fried pie cart is trying something new this week. David Siegel of Belly Timber in SE is acting as guest
Pie filler. David put together some signature pie fillings and they are available all week at Whiffies. I
enjoyed a pork belly, peach and pecan pie that was to die for. Head on out before Belly Timber hangs
their proverbial Pie hat. Whiffies is @ SE 12th and Hawthorne and opens @ 8pm.
___________________ The Portland Mercury is reporting that Food Carts will be part of this year's
TBA (Time Based Arts) festival. TBA's late night performance event "The Works" will
feature the following Food Carts for your noshing needs: Koi Fusion, Al Forno Ferruzza, Ziba's Pita's, Pirate Dog, Los Gorditos, and ice
cream from Rudy Speerschneider of Junior Ambassador's. TBA starts September 3rd and you can find the entire
schedule here. ___________________ Nancy Rommelmann, one of our favorite food
writers from Portland did a great article in bon appétit magazine. The article showcases Portland's "foodquake." I love that
term. Carts profiled include Tabor, Potato Champion, Taqueria Los Gorditos, Junior Ambassador's,
Ziba's Pita's, and Crown Q BBQ. Portland is truly becoming the place to be for Food Carts.
___________________ More articles profiled Portland's Food Cart scene recently, including a great
article by Mike Thelin in Portland Monthly, numerous carts
documented in Women's Day magazine and Fuego Burrito profiled as one of the
nation's best street foods in ForbesTraveler. ___________________ Mississippi Marketplace, a
new Food Cart pod opening soon up off N. Mississippi and Skidmore is beginning to announce the
carts thy will be hosting. Nuevo Mexico will be moving up there in mid September with a brand
spankin' new cart and expanded menu. SugarCube will reopen their tasty cart there. Others include The
Big Egg, focusing on breakfast; Leroy's Familiar Vittles, a barbeque spot; Patty's Wagon, serving West
African and Jamaican food. It is my understanding from chatting with others that the spot's owner
Roger Goldingay has seen upwards of 100+ applications for a spot in this location. I'm excited as I'm
only a few blocks away. See the first carts opening by month's end. ___________________ Gregg
Abbot (from Whiffies Pies) and I will be interviewed on StrangeLoveLive this coming Friday night.
StrangeLoveLive is a local "webisode" produced by Cami and Mike Kaos. They have been doing this
for over a year now every Friday night and focus on the tech scene. Gregg and I will discuss Portland's
Food Carts and the latest news. The show was recorded on Monday since Gregg works Friday nights,
but will be streamed with a chatroom on Friday evening. More information at StrangeLoveLive. ___________________
Lastly, news from beyond Portland about Food Carts. We hear stories of how carts in Portland can cost
upwards of $20,000-$30,000 to open and operate. To some, that is daunting, to others, that is cheap.
Well, in New York, if you want to have a simple hot dog cart outside the MET, you gotta throw down
around $450,000 for your license. A cart was recently evicted from their spot for missing their $54,000
monthly rent. Slate has the details.
Can I just say I love Portland! That's it for now. If you're out and about, enjoy a Food Cart.

(cartsplosion?) in interest and great cart-food. I hope you're not jonesing for the carts too bad in
NOLA--I know they'd be one of the main things I'd miss if I had to leave Portland.

***NEW CART*** [caption id="attachment_1236" align="aligncenter" width="300"
caption="Built to Grill, Portland"][/caption]
Location: SW 3rd and Washington Description: When I
walked by Built to Grill the other day, something caught my nose, intriguing me. I had already eaten
lunch, so vowed to return the next day. Luckily, my lunch buddies wanted to head in that direction for
a new Italian cart. We were headed in the exact same direction. I guess I had missed the big Italian flag
on the side of the cart. Built to Grill is new on the scene, having
opened just two weeks ago. The owners, Brooke and Aisha, had the cart built special for them in
Florida and then shipped up - hence the name. Oh, and such a beautiful cart with everything they need
to product a great meal. Built to Grill specializes in Italian sandwiches and pasta dishes. Looking over
the sandwich choices makes one's mouth water. There aren't many places in Portland where one can
find a grilled muffuletta. I sometimes need to hit up the local charcuterie and make it myself. I've been
on a sandwich kick of late, so discovering that Built to Grill is more than pasta encourages me that the
food cart gods are listening to my pleas. I opted for the grilled
muffuletta while my partners chose the Italian hero and the penne with basil pesto. All three meals
were top notch. While I was noshing on the first half of my sandwich, my friend offered up a trade for
half of his grilled hero. Who could pass that up? The chance to try two different sandwiches in one
sitting was great. [caption id="" align="aligncenter"
width="180" caption="Italian Hero courtesy of @Mondofresh"][/caption] [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="240" caption="Grilled Muffuletta"][/caption] The muffuletta was a perfect layering of thinly sliced salami,
mortadella, roasted red pepper and provolone, topped with green olive tapenade. All that between
artisan bread and thrown on the grill and pressed. The hero was a mix of prosciutto, salami, mortadella,
spinach, arugula, peperoncini, provolone and red wine vinaigrette. Both sandwiches were the perfect
size and tasted amazing. I've tried different olive tapenade both from stores and restaurants and
Brooke's was at the top. Reminded me of the first time I ate a muffuletta in New Orleans. I asked him
about it and he informed me that he makes both his tapenade and pesto from scratch. Further, he gets
all of his cheeses and meats direct from Italy. Now that's authentic. Built to Grill is probably going to
become a go to cart for me. I'm a huge fan of paninis and Italian meats. I think I could eat salami and
prosciutto for every meal if it were considered a health food. When your out looking for something
new, go give Built to Grill a try. Tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample

Found this place a week or two ago and have had the pesto penne twice. I vowed to do a panini
last time but went with the pesto again. One of the best carts I've been to in a long time. Give it a
shot-you won't be disappointed!

These guys caught my eye yesterday (after a disappointing search for fish tacos), and I came back
today with with husband. I went for the pesto pasta which was AMAZING. My husband had the
muffaletta, which apparently was also great (although he didn't share any...). The cart itself really
is lovely as well. Big, airy, and obviously very clean. Thanks for the Sunday cleaning! I can't
wait to go back.

I stopped by Built To Grill for the first time today. The food was a pure comfort on a beautiful, if a
bit chilly, day. I ordered the Gnocchi, which was really flavorful with sundried tomatoes and
cheese, and cooked to the exactly right texture. It's hard to find good Gnocchi in Portland. It's
always either overcooked or bland. This was neither--and cheap--at $5!! While I was enjoying
lunch, the owner Brooke, gave me a whole cup of pasta fagioli ham soup to try. It was the perfect
thing to warm up to on a cool autumn day. Bonus: these folks are nice!!

A superb indian summer mid-day downtown with brilliant skies, "It's the change in the weather,"
says Brooke. That's why I am craving fried food, opting for the fried calamari with roasted red
pepper citrus mayo. "It's really good," says Aisha, turns a knowing glance, it is decided, then - the
Mediterranean Meltdown will wait until another day - I am not a glutton and cannot have both.
But perhaps it won't be enough food. How can they afford to sell it for $5? The lunch hour
rambla on 3rd & Foodcart teems with texters and fleece, the sun of the neighborhood snow an
orderly district above and below a prominent grid, the degree carved from an existing context of
fields, orchards and forests. A chattilyphoned Dave Allen strolls by, headed towards his desk. I'm
up. The brood of pink and white tentaclettes fill its wax-card house, the generous portion of mayo
a chimney into which to plunge Santa-like into the hearth of the old continent, obliterated from
memory by the savory herbs, the delicate breading, the soft chewiness almost unnoticeable - what
cracked peppercorn so playfully lurks between crust and casting director's dream cephalopods! I
was a changed man, I smiled, uttered, regardless, iridescent, "Miss Quigley," I began, half-closing
one eye, "I have had to make some very detailed explanations. Substantial reparations have been
demanded. In this instance, the value of your unique capacities to our research program has
persuaded the Chancellor to pay them in full. Any repetition of this incident will not be tolerated.
Captain, if you would be so kind?" I was soon stumbling in a southerly direction along 3rd
Avenue, past the haunts of eateries I'd once known, now seeming abandoned, dusted over
windows, sundown guest flannel hand-me-ups from a by-gone world, but their loneliness stirred
nothing within me. I was content, happy even, as can seldom be said in this endeavor. Thank you,
Aisha and Brooke, frigga me tutto tuttavia i giorni per trasparire!

***New Cart*** [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="DC
Vegetarian"][/caption] Location: SW 3rd
between Washington and Stark Description:
Portland is a great city to get fresh produce in. The city hosts a farmer's
market almost every day of the week in almost every neighborhood in the city. You would be hard
pressed not to be able to find fresh veggies on a random Tuesday afternoon. And in the summer? Well,
I think we all become vegetarians a little bit. Enter DC Vegetarian, a new cart that focuses on
Vegetarian and Vegan eats. One of our writers, KMazz, visited DC
Vegetarian the same day I did and has this to add. Good old American comfort food usually screams
"Watch out, arteries!" And yet, when the moment strikes we just gotta have that bacon burger or BLT
served up with some ice cream. How about a planet friendly safe and tasty alternative? The DC
Vegetarian cart supplies all of the above with vegan and vegetarian traditional standbys. You can have
vegan or dairy cheese and vegetarian or tempeh bacon with your veggie burger, or vegan or dairy
cream cheese with a veggie sandwich, for example. There are "chicken" salad and "steak" and cheese
and Italian sub sandwiches and almost everything comes with the option to add avocado or that non-
meat bacon. And if you really really need to, you can get a real grilled Tillamook cheddar and Pepper
Jack cheese sandwich. Not being a vegan myself, I tried the apple, goat cheese, spinach, mayo and
spicy mustard sandwich on Dave's Killer whole wheat bread -- a perfect combo on a warm day if
you've got a lot of city blocks to cover and don't want to be weighed down by a hearty lunch. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Apple and
Cheese by KMazz"][/caption] Upon my arrival at the
cart, I did have to pass a few other's with enticing meat smells, so was glad to see that DC Vegetarian
offered up Vegan burgers and even a BLT. After perusing the menu, I decided I didn't really need meat
alternatives and really wanted to get some vegetables in me. Normally, that would be a Seinfeldish
"big salad," but that day, when I saw that DC Vegetarian served their sandwiches up on Dave's Killer
Bread, I just couldn't resist ordering one. If you haven't tried Dave's, you need to. Such care is taken
with that bread it is criminal how good it tastes. In the end, I chose the hummus and veggie with
avocado on rye. Before I could even finish reading the entire menu, my sandwich was ready. They are
fast. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="180"
caption="Hummus and veggie from DC Vegetarian"][/caption] The rye was
lightly toasted which is exactly how I prefer my sandwiches. Further, this is sliced bread, so it doesn't
take olympic chewing to get through that first bite. The mix of the hummus and sliced fresh veggies
was a great match. I could taste the sweetness of the tomato along with the cucumber and avocado and
the slight bitterness of the greens. The hummus had that hint of garlic that you catch on the back of
your tongue and then remember a few minutes later. All in all, a great sandwich. Simple, tasty and just
what I wanted. As stated, DC Vegetarian offers up what we eat almost
every day - just vegetarian style. Almost everything on the menu can be made Vegan also if that is
what you prefer. When you are out looking for a great alternative to your normal lunch, give DC
Vegetarian a try and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. [Note: DC
Vegetarian will be closed Sept. 3-9] Sample

I think I must be the only person in the world that can't stand Dave's Killer Bread. I've tried, but I
guess I just like plain old wheat too much.

As a long-time vegan, I appreciate the even-handedness with which you guys cover veg-friendly
food. I've tended to find that most of the best veg*n food in Portland is found at "normal," non-
veg-exclusive restaurants and carts; and, conversely, some of the worst (or at least most boring) is
sometimes found at the veg-centric places that seem to spring from ethics more than love of food
(coughVegeThaicough, coughVitaCafecough, coughPapaGscough). But this recent crop of
vegetarian and very veg-friendly carts you've reviewed are calling for a second look--they seem
like they might actually love food.

Ian, I've had similar experiences. There's just so much great veg food out there that it's sad to see
these veg-exclusive places totally blow it on quality. I had the chicken salad sub at DC last
Friday, and it was completely awesome. I'm known to be a little picky about my sandwiches, but
this one was really perfect. For the price, I was honestly expecting something kind of small, but it
was huuge. I added lettuce and tomato, which is an odd thing not to include, but even with it the
price was under $5. The bread used was also noteworthy, though I don't know where they got it
from Mmm...just thinking about it makes me want to go back there again this Friday.

We are from Seattle and stopped into Portland on a whim while visiting McMenanins Edgefield.
It was about lunch time and we just happened to park nearby the row of food carts. As we scouted
the menus at restaurants along the streets, DC Vegetarian jumped out at us. We got one Steak and
Cheese one Chicken Salad + veggie bacon. Yuuuuuuuuummmm! We sat in the mall up the street
to eat them and decided to grab two more Chicken Salad + Bacon sandwiches for later in the
evening! (We could have gone for the Steak and Cheese, too...and it would have been good to try
the others!) One thing, I think they may want to make the chicken salad, which is premixed with
celery, etc., with the veggie mayo instead of the real thing! We want a DC Vegetarian in
Seattle/Tacoma!!

***New Cart*** [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="side
cart"][/caption] Location: SW 5th between Stark and
Oak Description: Remember that first time you visited a really nice expensive steak house and were shocked that
your steak didn't come with anything but the steak on a plate? Those amazing mushrooms or curly fries
or green beans were an extra $5 each. How could they do that? Oh, and since then, at every restaurant
you go to, you wish you could just order sides. I know you do. I do. Well, now you can get all the sides
you want. From the creators of the wonderful BrunchBox, they give you side cart. I first saw the menu for side cart on FaceBook and it immediately made me drool. So
many options for sides, and almost everything on the menu is vegetarian. Hushpuppies, seasoned curly
fries, onion straws, cheesy tots, vegetable medley, okra bites, mac and cheese. And all of the offerings
are under $3, so you can get a couple. Upon my first visit, I really couldn't decide what I was hungry
for and then I saw the option of mix and match - 3 items for $5. I opted for okra bites, mac and cheese
shells and baked beans. [caption id="" align="aligncenter"
width="240" caption="side cart mix and match"][/caption] As you can see, these aren't
tiny portions, but enough to sate you for lunch. You can order larger portions of each item on the menu
if you so desire. The okra bites were my favorite that day. Little crunchy nibbles of goodness. I know
many don't like okra, but for me, it is one of the best tasting veggies out there. The mac and cheese was
appropriately cheesy with the shells perfectly al dente. The beans were simple, like those you would
pick up at a BBQ. Nothing here was over the top nor too fancy and that is what I liked. They served up
a great meal at a great price with a great portion. side cart has daily
specials and "Meatless Monday." You should watch their Twitter feed for those or just swing by. They
do offer desert in the form of a battered and deep fried candy bar. Lastly, there is a line item on the
menu - How's-this-for-awesome - you bring us
something edible, we batter (sweet or savory) & fry it. $1-$3 I understand a certain someone who likes food carts is challenging them with items like
squash and thin mints. side cart is yet another example of a cart I wouldn't have thought of, but
Portland has embraced and loves. When your out and about, even if you already have your lunch, drop
by side cart for a little extra...and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: [prices reflect side portions. full orders are available]
Seasoned curly fries - $1.50 Zucchini sticks - $3 Hushpuppies - $2
Tater tots - $2 Cheesy tots - $3 Okra bites - $2 Mashed potatoes -
$1.50 Mac and cheese shells - $2 Stuffing - $2 Thanksgiving: mashed
potatoes, stuffing, vegs - $5 Mix and match any 3 dishes - $5 Smorgasfry: curly
fries + tots + onion straws - $5 Battered and deep fried candy bar - $2-$3

The mostly-veg menu started out unintentionally b/c most side dishes happen to be meatless. We
do have stuff like chicken tenders and corn dogs on the side cart menu and plan on adding popcorn
chicken soon. Starting next week, brunch box's 7" all-beef hot dogs will be moving over to side
cart (less wait for dog fans). Make sure to check with the guys in the cart as to which items on
side cart's menu are veg. On Mondays we roll out a new vegetarian meal option each to run all
week (this week is vegetarian-chicken-tender basket w/curly fries! It's pretty yum!) Sincere
thanks for the write-up, we're big fans of the site!

Maybe they are encouraging YOU to be meatless on Mondays?? "Meatless Monday is a non-
profit initiative of The Monday Campaigns, in association with the Johns Hopkins‘ Bloomberg
School of Public Health. Our goal is to help reduce meat consumption 15% in order to improve
personal health and the health of our planet." http://www.meatlessmonday.com/ Although this
may not necessarily improve personal health since nearly everything is fried or cheesy! Sounds
like it will a great winter cart - esp the Thanksgiving one. Yum!

Dear god....amazing...even more amazing with a Brunch Box burger as well....One thing missing
from the menu above is MAC AND CHEESE BITES ($3 and $5)!!!!! My ultimate college drunk
food! Amazing..had a few people along so got them, plus cheesy tots and fries...it was all great.
Are you guys going to be open late like on Fridays/Sat? I gotta believe that theres a pretty good
chance of selling your deep fried delicious wares in that area.....

It's true, side cart's goal w/rolling out new vegetarian plates is to encourage people to try a veg
meal on Monday (uh, Brunch Box is a different story. Ha!). Unfortunately there is a clause in the
contract w/City Parking that does not allow carts in our lot to operate late-night, but we will
probably open a late-night Brunch Box/side cart hybrid cart somewhere eventually. No plans
currently for side cart to be open Saturdays.

Damn tasty--but not something I could handle more than once in a blue moon. They stated most
things are vegan, except for the stuffing, beans and gravy (and I assume things that were obviously
not vegan like mac'n'cheese). The batter is vegan--and really pretty unique.

The lovely Audrey Eschright, part mastermind behind the Portland Food Cart Map, is seeking submissions
for her newest endeavor: I < 3 Food Carts Magazine.
Details are on Audrey's Website, or here is an excerpt from
her personal blog: In the last few months, Portland‘s food cart scene has
been getting an increasing amount of media attention. I don‘t really want to duplicate that: I think Food
Carts Portland is doing a great job of documenting what carts are out there. Instead, I‘m looking to
make a sort of fanzine about what we like about our carts, and street food around the world. What
makes this fun? Why are you at Whiffies at 1am three times a week? What surprises you (in good and
bad ways)? To that end, I‘m looking for photos, essays, pirate maps, and other documents about street
food experiences. You can find more details about the format and what I‘ll be doing on the website,
and the link to submit. Hey, count me in!

I'd love to see an essay on carts as human-scale capitalism; the role they play in business
incubation and entreprenurialism; increasing interaction between proprietors and consumers
(immediate feedback, knowing where your money goes, etc.); the place of family in cart
businesses (lots of family-run operations); the phenomenon of carts as urban catalysts, turning
urban voids (street-level parking) into vibrant living urban fabric that exhibit characteristics of
classic markets/bazaares/public squares; social interaction via carts (as opposed to social
separation via chains); personal stories of the proprietors as to why they wanted to create a cart
(with probably many fascinating travel stories and histories), etc. So many fascinating topics to be
explored. Kudos on the project. I'd be interested perhaps in doing some interviews--maybe you
could sort of also create a cart-questionnaire to get some data on carts, or to create little profiles of
the owner-chefs of various carts?

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="Just
Thai"][/caption] Location:
SW 3rd, between Washington and Stark Description: When I was looking for some
good spicy Thai noodles last winter, a few friends recommended a place named I Love Thai Food.
They thought it was down off 3rd avenue, but when I went down there, I couldn't find said cart. I opted
for a different meal that day. Since then, I have discovered that I Love Thai Food, a Portland favorite is
now named Just Thai. The two names are on the side of the cart if only I had looked closer. Just Thai is exactly what their name suggests. A menu full of the Thai dishes
we have come to love and expect. They offer soups, noodle dishes, fried rice and curries. Normally,
when I try a Thai cart, I choose basil fried rice. It is one of my favorite dishes and they do it well there.
Most recently, since I had already enjoyed their fried rice, I opted for Pad See You, a dish made up of
wide rice noodles, eggs, broccoli and carrots. You can get it with either chicken, shrimp or tofu and a
range of temperature - mild to spicy. I chose tofu and medium.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Pad See You from Just Thai"][/caption] I have to say - when you
get lunch at Just Thai, be prepared to eat some for dinner also. My Pad See You was so large, I had it
for lunch, an afternoon snack and then a late night nosh for my wife. Crazy big. All for $5. The dish
was adequately spicy - medium is just that, medium. The noodles are my favorite. Rice noodles have a
texture that when it hits your tongue, it seems like they begin to dissolve. I just love that. Everything
else was top notch. If you're in the market for some great Thai and hungry to boot, check out Just Thai
down of SW 3rd and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu:
Tom Yum soup - $5 Pad see you - stir fried wide rice noodles w/ eggs, broccoli, carrots -
$5 Red Curry/Yellow Curry - $5 Thai fried rice - eggs, onions, green onion,
tomatoes, cilantro, cucumber - $5 Tom kha - $5 Pad Thai - $5 Dishes can
be made with chicken, shrimp or tofu Vegan dishes available Hours:

I couldn't agree more. Just Thai is awesome. I just discovered it a couple of weeks ago when I
went down to 3rd and Washington to check out D.C. vegetarian. D.C. was closed that day so I
went to Just Thai instead and have eaten there (well got food from there and eaten elsewhere)
about three times now. Every time I've ordered the same thing: the vegan yellow curry - which is
to die for. The first time I picked it up off the counter I almost dropped my entire order on the
ground because for $5.00 they give you about 10 pounds of food. You can work out by lifting
your food up and down while you walk back to your office to eat. It's enough for two servings
each (i.e. FOUR total) servings for my coworker and myself. Also I couldn't agree more that the
woman who works the counter is totally friendly. I still haven't tried D.C. vegetarian - will have to
try them eventually. Thanks Ian, by the way, for your great blog.

Just to add a little to the vegan angle, which is pretty significant at this cart, I'll quote my Yelp
review: [Added by FoodCartsPortland: a link to the original review]
(5 Stars) While I loved them as 'I Love Thai Food,' the name change to 'Just Thai' doesn't
represent a loss of enthusiasm or an embrace of mediocrity--it simply gets at the fact that the
owner-family-chefs create simple, wholesome, flavorful and unpretentious food at what is, as
everyone notes, an unbelievable value. There is surely fancier Thai to be had, but when you want
simple, clean, fresh Thai in a casual setting (can't get much more so than a cart) nothing beats Just
Thai. Go more than once and you'll be a regular, and you'll feel that you're being welcomed into
the family (in a non-affected, non-mawkish, completely sincere way). The incredibly personable
and kind proprietors are far too modest to ever say so themselves, but at least as far as their vegan
offerings go, no place in town makes fresher, heartier fare. It's the freshness of their veggies (and
tofu) and the deft balance of flavors that sets them apart, even more than the massively generous
portions and prices. The secret weapon that I'm always amazed I don't hear more people talk
about is their vegan Tom Kha. It's the best-balanced tom kha I've ever had--which is saying
something, since it's a soup that uses creamy, sour, and savory in an intricate blend of galangal,
lemon grass, lime, coconut milk, coriander, chilis, and kaffir leaves. Just Thai's is oil-free, rich-
yet-light, and each ingredient speaks individually and in concert. It's a great alternative to spicier,
bolder curries. The only downside (for the cart, not for me) is that it's so flavorful that it can be
"stretched" over enough rice (or quinoa with dinosaur kale--not remotely authentic but simply
delectable) to satisfy literally three or four people. One other ace up the sleeve for Just Thai is that
they stay open later than most carts--7pm, including Saturdays--which means a great dinner option
for those of us living downtown, something generally lacking (especially for vegans). A
wonderful place for omnivores and veg*ns to enjoy together. At first after their absence of several
months and their move from 10th & Alder to the slightly more "remote" 3rd Ave, they were
concerned things might be too slow to make it. The fact that only weeks later word of mouth had
things on solid ground, with many devoted regulars willing to make the "trek" across downtown
(and from all around the city) says it all.

So then whats the story with the "I love Thai food" cart in the 10th and Alder pod? Its still there
isn't it? Thought so? Is the the new cart started by the original owners of the "I love thai food" cart
(heard/believe the rumor they moved on, as the menu did change a bit)...

The owners of the original 'I Love Thai Food,' who now own/run 'Just Thai,' sold the original--
which is now actually subtly changed to 'I Like Thai Food,' a change which sadly does reflect a
step down in quality. The food at 'Just Thai' is the wonderful stuff many of us enjoyed at 'Love,'
and missed when it became 'Like'.

Thanks for the great review, Ian. I will definitely seek this place out again. I used to go to I Love
Thai on 10th and noticed something had changed but didn't understand. Now I know. And I totally
agree about wishing more carts would stay open later so that I can get dinner on the way home
after 5.

Drew--glad to hear it's good for the meat-eating crowd, too. Given that they're so accommodating
to us veg*ns, I know they'd be more than happy to adjust the fish sauce level (or leave it out
entirely) to your liking. And don't miss their Tom Kha--I'm sure it's as good in its original chicken
orientation as it is with tofu.

Great place. I ordered the massaman chicken curry with medium spice. The spice level was great
and everything was cooked nicely...you could cut your potatoes easily with a fork, but they weren't
mushy. Chicken, carrots and onions were tasty. One of the annoying parts of ordering curry from
most carts is that they usually dump the curry over the rice in a to-go box. Instead, Just Thai gives
you a huge container of curry and a box of rice, just like the brick and mortar places do! For
people like me, who prefer to have full control of your rice to curry ratio, it's an added bonus.
Combine that with the huge portions and it's a great deal for $5. The only improvement to make it
a five star cart experience would be to ease off the fish sauce a bit. I'm not opposed to fish sauce at
all and it certainly didn't ruin my meal, but the taste was somewhat prevalent. Super friendly
people, good food, more care than your typical cart and enough food to share with someone else at
a cheap price makes this a standout place.

Los Angeles Cracks Down on Food Trucks

Politics, land use and economic development are complex issues in cities. The growing popularity of
food carts in some places is causing friction between the carts, neighborhoods, businesses, and often
police. Take Los Angeles for example, where police have started chasing off mobile food vendors
from the area known as "Miracle Mile". The Los Angeles Times reports in this article: ...But last week, the lines disappeared after police officers
swooped in and forced Green Truck and several other mobile food vendors parked in the mid-Wilshire
area to move on. Some drivers said they were cited for minimal violations such as parking too close to
the curb, or parking too far away. Others said they were ordered to pack up and leave. I
have a few problems with this article. Specifically, the article fails to explain whether or not the carts
are allowed by law, and why Police have the authority to remove carts on grounds of,
"They don't have city and health department permits," said Lt. Dan Hudson, watch
commander at the Los Angeles Police Department Wilshire Division. "Restaurants complain because
the lunch trucks are taking their business, and they don't have [proper] permits." My
take? If the carts do not have proper permits, then that is a valid health and legal violation, but should
be handled in a consistent manner across the board and in a way that follows standard city and county
procedures. Laws do exist to protect consumers. Carts, like any other business, need to operate on the
up and up. Yet, the pesky questioning journalist in me keeps coming back to this line in the article,
"Restaurants complain because the lunch trucks are taking their business, and they don't
have [proper] permits." Is this a case of "just following the rules", or is Los Angeles
bowing from political pressure of restaurant owners who feel the carts are too competitive? Portland's
own Koifusion Korean Taco Truck (Koifusion is friends with the LA based truck
giant Kogi BBQ), weighs in with their feisty opinion here What are your thoughts? LA taco truck crack down, justified or
not? Is this something food carts and their adoring fans in Portland should be worried about happening
in our fair city?

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="210" caption="No Fish
Go Fish"][/caption] Location: SW 5th and Yamhill
Description: No Fish Go Fish is one of those great food cart success stories. The
cart, on the corner of SW 5th and Yamhill has been at this location ever since I can remember, serving
up unique soups daily, along with their signature No Fish sandwiches. The success story is that the
owner went from food cart to store front and still makes some great soup. Oh, and the fish? None to be
found... No Fish Go Fish gets its name from the little sandwiches they create called No Fish. Shaped
like little fish, they are cornbread based and come with different fillings, both veggie and meat. The
soups No Fish Go Fish offers are some of the best and unique I have tried. The day I visited, I was
offered up green split pea, cream of jalapeno and bean and bacon. I tasted samples of all three to see
what I would like and it was suggested that I have the bean and bacon, but topped with the cream of
jalapeno. Boyo, that was a great combination. I love that they serve up the soup
in what amounts to a large coffee cup. It is easy to transport and for me, easy to sip and eat at the same
time. The mixture of the two soups was genius. I'm a fan of spiciness, but felt the cream of jalapeno by
itself may be too much. Putting it on top of the bean and bacon gave the entire mix a great level of
spice. Perfect for a cooler summer day. No Fish Go Fish is one of the
original Portland Food Carts and is there every day, even when it is snowing. With autumn coming and
the need to begin donning sweaters and rain slickers, we get to the time when we want something
warm and comforting for lunch. Soup is that something and I'm very glad Portland offers us some great
choices. No Fish Go Fish does publish their soups daily on their website or you can get the daily list
from Twitter. When you visit, have a No Fish sandwich along with your soup and tell them Food Carts
Portland sent ya. Sample Menu:
Soup of the day - changes daily - $4.50 No Fish sandwiches - cheddar cheese; spinach
& feta; curried veggie, tomato mozzarella - $1.50 Soup with 2 No Fish sandwiches -
$6 Hours: Monday through Friday - 11:30am -2pm Contact:

Yay! Thanks for writing about No Fish. It's definitely the first food cart I ate at in PDX and must
be one of the longest running. It's perfect food for our PDX winters & great when you want
something comforting & fairly healthy - most options are usually veggie if not vegan. It's not
just for winter though as they usually offer chilled soups on the hottest of days - my fave soup ever
of theirs appeared a few weeks ago - watermelon/apple/sour cream with mint & salt &
cinnamon. Sounds weird, but it was so delicious I had it two days in a row. I love checking the
website for the soups of the day, and the cart owner John is always friendly and funny.

*** New Cart *** [caption
id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Asaase Ital Palace"][/caption] Location: SW
5th and College Description: I didn't realize that what Portland's food cartopia sorely needed was African-Caribbean
specialties until I made a visit to the Asaase Ital Palace by PSU's cart cluster. It's only about two
months old, and my previous attempts to sample its wares were foiled by random closures. At least,
they appeared random. So today when I noticed from two blocks away that a small crowd was gathered
'round, I made a beeline. Where do I start? It's vegan and vegetarian.
That means there's jerk "chicken" and "fish", and a tofu scramble, but most everything else eschews
the ersatz and sticks to real rice, beans and vegetables. The pretty extensive menu is divided up into
Starters, with the prize being the Samosa-like Sambusas ($2.00) but with fry bread (4
pieces for $3.00) and plaintains (5 pieces for $4.00) as other choices; Meals, consisting
mostly of rice and greens cooked with spicy oil, or coconut milk, or tomato sauce with a side of fried
or boiled plantains; and Soup, apparently called "Sip" in the islands ($6.00). You can try
the Groundnut Sip or the Palm Nut Sip. I tried the Jollof Rice Special, touted as a "real African
favorite", and whatever the origin I can say it was very satisfying: moist red rice mixed up with black
eyed peas, a little onion and cabbage topped with slices of cucumber. [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Jollof Rice"][/caption] If you are a fan of coconut, you'll have to give
the Ites Gold and Green Plate a try. How can anyone resist a taste of the tropics with these southern
staples? Red beans on yellow rice cooked with tomato and coconut milk with a small side of boiled
collard-like greens and cabbage could hardly be improved upon. [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Ites Gold and Green Plate"][/caption] Assaase Ital Palace can up that with Asaase's
fresh smoothies. This cart is all about health, nutrition and feeling good and these fruit drinks deliver
($2.50 each). I had the Blue Monday even though it was Wednesday: blueberry, banana and a shot of
vitamin C powder. I perked right up. A patron ordering a Sun Splash of Mango, Strawberry, Banana
and Orange meant the remains at the bottom of the blender became taste tests and happily I indulged.
There was no dairy in these drinks to dilute the flavor. Asaase opens at 9am. Breakfast smoothies
anyone? Oh, about those random closings. The cart owner's husband is a reggae musician and
sometimes they have to play. Sample Menu:
Jollof Rice - small $6, large $9 Starters: Jerk veggie fish - $2 see description

Mmmm. Just finished eating a tasting and satisfying lunch of Jollof Rice and Sambusas with spicy
jerk sauce. I am still licking my lips for the last bits of flavor. Often when I finish a cart meal I can
feel heavy with grease, but not so after this meal. If you are looking for something with real flavor
and character, I recommend it.

can. Awesome!! I had the "Ite...?" and the chickun. They were just wonderful. I love how the
lemongrass sticks really look like the chicken leg bones. I would reccomend this cart to the
vegans and non-vegans.

Dogs"][/caption] Location:
SW 5th and Stark Description: Need a bro-licious dog for lunch? Well, Bro-Dogs is here to help. When I
walked by and saw that they offered up a jalapeño and cheddar dog, I had to bite. Also, if you're in for
a laugh, have a chat with the owner Scott and inquire about his "bro-tastic" day. Bro-Dogs opened earlier this summer along the populated 5th and Stark pod -
interestingly enough, right next to the now closed Dreamer's vegetarian cart. Bro-Dogs serves up
exactly what you would think - hot dogs and sausages. The one thing different than your standard hot
dog offering is their choice for bun. Instead of a standard hot dog bun, they use a large flat roll that is
soft and tasty and fully encompasses the dog without splitting out the bottom. That way, you can add in
the extra grilled onions, maybe some extra cheese or even jalapeño slices. While my friend got the
highly recommended chicken and apple dog, I chose the jalapeño and cheddar. My dog came hot and
spicy with the grilled onions. Scott kept saying something about how the cheese "exploded" and I for
some reason didn't head the warning and BOOM!, I had some hot cheese on my nose and cheek.
Nothing scarring, just more of an embarrassing jolt. It was a great laugh also. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Bro-Dogs"][/caption] The dog served up was one of the
tastiest I've had. I did add additional jalapeño slices and some yellow mustard to give it an extra kick.
It wasn't over the top spicy as I would have expected since the jalapeños were inside the dog. The bun,
as stated earlier as unique, was the best part of the whole meal. I want to find some of those buns for
my next cookout. Bro-Dogs is a great addition to Portland's cart scene.
They have two carts, one on SW 5th and Stark serving the lunch crowd and one for late night down at
W 3rd and Burnside. On my next visit, I think I'll pick up one of their shirts with the slogan 'Ask Me
About My 10" Wiener.' Gotta love it when a cart has fun with the food. Check out Bro-Dog before the
rains come and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Bro! Sample Menu: Classic Bro-Dog: all beef Sabbrett - $4
Derek's double dog: 2 x Sabrett - $6 Polish: 1/4 pounder - $4 Jalapeno cheddar
- $5 Chicken apple - (huge) - $5 Vegan - $4 grilled onions upon

Really nice to have natural casing Sabretts available in PDX. I like this bun concept, too, which
today he called a "panini bagel bread". Grilling the bread and wrapping the dog in it gives you a
great platform for whatever condiment you want to pour or ladle on the dog. Having celery salt on
the condiment table is a great homage to a chicago dog, as well. I hope these guys are around for
a long time!

***New Cart*** [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Wolf
& Bear's"][/caption] Location: corner of SE
20th and Morrison Description: Field Trip. That's what I call it. See, I work downtown, so it is pretty easy to visit most of
the carts in a given lunch hour. When you expand to the east side though, then we call it a field trip.
We line up, hold hands, count off and get on the bus; two by two by two.... Seriously though, I had my
time concerns for lunch, yet Wolf & Bear's made it worth the trip. Wolf & Bear's is a new cart run by a young couple with both ties to Israel and it comes out
in their food. I hadn't heard of it until a friend of mine tweeted that she took her daughter there and the
owners were so excited that she pronounced the name of one of their sandwiches properly. The Sabich
(pronounced s-ah-biqh) is a traditional Jewish/Middle Eastern breakfast sandwich which I would eat as
an every meal meal. With a fresh large pita, they put together hummus, grilled eggplant, hard boiled
egg, onions, cucumber, pickles, parsley and salad greens topped with house tahini sauce and amba
(mango pickle.) [caption id="" align="aligncenter"
width="180" caption="Sabich from Wolf & Bear's"][/caption] When I saw the
reference to breakfast and the inclusion of eggs, I wasn't sure what they were concocting, but boy was
that a great pita. The pita itself was chewy and fresh, the hummus garlicky, but not overwhelming. The
grilled eggplant mixed with the fresh onions, cucumbers and greens gave the entire sandwich such a
bright fresh flavor. I have been enjoying fresh veggies all summer from the garden and the veggies
they used had that same freshly picked flavor. I devoured that sandwich at the provided picnic table
while sitting under a large umbrella with my house made lemonade. Not a bad way to escape from the
office for an hour and relax. When you read through Wolf &
Bear's menu, you see they have taken their time to put together some signature dishes. Each dish is
vegetarian and can be made vegan at request. They pride themselves by making the hummus and
labneh (creamy cheese made from uncultured yogurt) from scratch. All sauces and dressings are vegan
For those concerned about gluten, they use sprouted garbanzos in the falafel so those are gluten free.
What more could you ask for. You need a break today from the
downtown hustle. I suggest a field trip. Put on your backpack, grab your permission slip and head on
over to Wolf & Bear's - and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Roadside snack - homemade labneh or
hummus on pita topped with salad greens and drizzles of olive oil - $5 Sabich - (Jewish
traditional breakfast) - pita filled with hummus, grilled eggplant, hard boiled egg, diced onions and
cucumbers, pickes, parsley and salad greens topped with tahini and amba - $7 Falafel - pita
filled with hummus, caramelized onion, roasted red peppers, grilled eggplant, fresh falafel and salad
greens topped with tahini - $6.50 Out to Lunch - pita layered with labneh, gorgonzola
crumbles, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, falafel, salad greens and ground pepper - drizzled
with olive oil - $7 Salads - $5.50 Housemade lemondade with mint - $2
Kombucha - $3 Cold brewed iced coffee - $2 Hours:

A couple weeks ago I tried the sabich. Two days later I had to go back and have it again. This is an
excellent sandwich, and the zhug (green hot sauce) is phenomenal.

Food Carts! PDX or NYC?

There's some light discussion regarding Portland and New York's cart scenes going on out there on the
Internet after a story was published in the New York Post this week. After NBC News was
here in August and interviewed Mayor Sam Adams about our cart scene, I guess Mayor Sam stated our
carts are better than in New York. Well, New York Mayor Bloomberg took that to heart and went out
a carting to taste what is offered. Our fellow cart enthusiasts at MidTownLunch.com have joined in the conversation, asking their readers who's
best, PDX or NYC. I don't think it is a matter of who's best because each city has much to offer. I will
point out that here in Portland, if you want a choice, we got something for everyone. With the 5 pods
in downtown alone, I counted about 75 carts available for the taking, all within walking distance. One
could easily check out all the carts in an hour. What do you think? Have you visited New York and
tried their cart offerings? We'll keep you posted as to when the NBC segment will air.

Having gone to school in New York for four year and also having lived the majority of my life in
Portland I definitely prefer the food carts in Portland over the ones in NYC. Yes NYC has had
them longer but they just can't beat the sheer variety and concentration that PDX has. In NYC
most of what I've found has been your average hot dog cart (hot dogs, really bad pretzels, and
knishes), carts with either chicken or beef kebabs topped with bbq sauce and served with bread for
a few dollars (they can be really good), and carts that serve halal meat (it reminded me of gyro
meat but I can't remember what type of food it was exactly). There are also dessert carts (well
more like vans), "Mexican" food carts, and I've seen some Indian food as well. One of the other
things that, logistically speaking, sets PDX apart is the ability for carts to set up and stay in
parking lots. It allows for the ability for little pods of street carts to crop up. Along with that, the
clusters of food carts in Portland allows people to be able to go to one location and still have a ton
of variety, something I haven't found true in NYC.

I don't think it is an equation of NYC vs PDX and who's cart scene is "better". Tsk-Tsk Sam
Adams for your lack of diplomacy. Both scenes are different. Different populations, different
population densities, different ethnic demographics, different levels of support for the carts by the
two cities (City of Portland supports the carts, City of NYC not so much), different geographies of
development, and different laws around the carts. My take? Both are damn good, but considering
the size of NYC vs. size of Portland, the PDX cart scene is certainly a phenomena. The cart scene
in NYC is more established, but is also more rigid due to the city's laws. It is older and based more
on carts that must move every evening, not the "permi-carts" that sit in Portland's parking lots 24-
7, 365 for years at a time. NYC also has a lack of vacant land meaning that carts have no room to
be grouped into rows, pods and the like. NYC also has a fluid ethnic and immigrant population
that is much more diverse and intense than PDX. That's why you'll see more carts there serving
things like Jamaican Jerk BBQ, Afghanistan rice plates, Halal food carts, carts serving nothing but
Polish Pirogi of all kinds, Goat BBQ from Trinidad on fry bread - you name it. New York also has
a much more organized group of cart owners, with a whole nonprofit dedicated to legal, financial
and other resources. It is also much more expensive there to start and operate a cart and permits
are difficult to procure. Portland's scene is younger, more experimental and includes more
gourmet and offbeat carts such as Whiffies, the Grilled Cheese Grill, etc. We also have a much
bigger focus on artisan, organic, vegetarian and local foods carts. Our City is much more relaxed
about cart zoning and other permitting, and it is easier and cheaper to rent cart space here because
we have more vacant and underutilized land. The cart scene in PDX is also more collaborative and
less competitive overall than NYC, which honestly can be brutally cut throat (including threats of
physical violence) between cart owners. Finally, Portland has a whole website dedicated to food
carts that is quite popular and has a dedicated following of readers and commentary (if I do say so
myself). In case you haven't noticed. NYC has wonderful websites that include food carts, but no
single online community around the carts.

I want someone to start a real street meat cart in PDX. I tell you, that stuff is to die for. I work for
a company in midtown Manhattan and when I get there, I basically eat street meat for every meal,
since I can't get it here!

I have yet to go to NYC, but I was born and raised in and around the Portland area (I lived just
north of PDX in Battle Ground, WA for a good portion of my life but always was finding myself
in PDX because of friends, family, food, etc) So I can only speak for PDX when I say that you can
find just about any type of food there, where as in other places in the country you can't find it with
out looking all over (mainly the middle of the country as I haven't been to many east coast towns).
I'm sure that NY has many varieties but I'm not certain how easy they are to come by. I've been to
quite a few large cities on the west coast and out of all of them PDX is the easiest for me to find
different types of food easily. This is especially easy during festival times and Saturday Market
where all of the different food vendors manage to gather in one area. They arn't all hamburgers
and fries, hot dogs, or gyros but a large variety of different things to suit different people. Now
that I'm extremely homesick, I'll cut my comment off here :D

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="280" caption="Sonny
Bowl"][/caption] Location: SW 3rd and Washington
Description: I was in a discussion with some
cartivores the other day and we arrived on the topic of uniqueness for carts. There are some carts that
offer a menu that while focused maybe on a type of cuisine, the offerings are so broad, it is difficult to
choose one item. Like when you go to the local restaurant which as a 4 page menu. We all agreed that
if you do one thing very very well, just do that and you will succeed. We see this type of focus with
food carts daily. Sonny Bowl is such a cart. They focus their energy and skill on creating a bowl that is
vegan, yet fills you up with everything a growing boy needs. Sonny Bowl specializes in what these
days are called rice bowls. Anywhere you see bento advertised, it is usually a chicken skewer over a
bowl of rice with a few veggies. Not here. Sonny Bowl takes it beyond veggies and rice by adding in
black beans or chickpeas, salsa, soy curls, green beans, and robust sauces. I don't know why I haven't
discovered this gem all these years. I chose the One, and for $5, I got a pretty large bowl with brown
rice covered with black beans, mixed veggies, cilantro-lemon sauce, green chile and salsa. I added in
Soy Curls for the extra $1 since they are my newest soy favorite. [caption id="" align="aligncenter"
width="180" caption="Sonny Bowl"][/caption] I almost couldn't get the top on. Further, I didn't want to put
the top on and crush that beautiful presentation. When I see green chile listed as part of the dish, I think
more of a sauce, but the green chili here was a chunky thick salsa that didn't disappoint. The beans and
rice were cooked just right, not mushy, but not al dente. As far as mixed veggies go, I wonder if they
shift with the season. My dish had thinly sliced steamed yellow and green zucchini. The soy curls were
great. If you haven't tried soy curls, either BBQ'ed or in a dish like this, you have to. They have the
best flavor and texture; a great addition to the meal. Sonny Bowl offers three different vegan bowls
with simple names like one, two and three. All are $5. Like I stated, I love it when someone specializes
in one food type and does it right. Sonny Bowl does it right. If you are down off SW 3rd looking for a
filling and healthy lunch, give Sonny Bowl a try and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya.
Sample Menu: One - black beans, mixed veggies, brown rice,
cilantro-lemon sauce, green chili and salsa - $5 Two - chickpeas, mixed veggies, brown rice,
sweet-pineapple curry sauce - $5 Three - BBQ soy curls, brown rice, green beans in ginger-
citrus sauce - $5 add soy curls to any bowl for $1 drinks, $2; water $1

I've been hitting the food carts for the past year or so now. The #3 at Sonny Bowl is hands down
the best meal that I've ever gotten at any of the food carts anywhere at any time for the entire time
I've been in Portland. I can't recommend this cart enough. Good music too - also nice guy
running the place behind the counter.

I wanted to add my comments now I've tried all three bowls & urge others to try this one if
you haven't yet! First off - the 3 bowls all were great and very satisfying - especially for $5! All
of them have interesting, flavorful sauces; a nice veggie protein element; fresh veggies; and brown
rice. What's nice is you get a lot of food for the price, but because it's so healthy, I don't feel
sluggish or over-full afterward. My favorite bowl was definitely #3, because of the fresh green
beans and ginger sauce. #2 was my 2nd favorite with another great unusual sauce, and #3 was
delicious, too - I just thought it was less unique (black beans + rice) than the other 2. He also
offers a great selection of hot sauces (including Aardvark!), soy sauce, etc to doctor to your taste.
And, because the bowl he serves it in is so sturdy, I've been washing mine & bringing it back
to reuse.

Awesome. Yeah! RE-USE!! : ) In fact if you bring your own bowl, Sanjay will just use
whatever bowl you bring, which is great. --> Less plastic getting pulled into the ecosystem =
lower impact on the environment. I think that if you bring your own bowl - then you can also get a
discount on a drink. Also if you go to www.portlandpedalpower.com - you can have them deliver
(by bike!) anything on the Sonny Bowl menu. in one order you can accomplish - no excess plastic
ending up in a landfill - no animals harmed since all menu items are vegan - promote bike
culture/bike businesses in Portland (of course no pollution that goes along with a typical delivery
by car) - *awesome food* This is the most progressive food cart in Portland and... also just
happens to have the best food. Check it out!

Over the weekend, we welcomed a new "pod" into the fold of Portland's Food Cart scene. Mississippi
Marketplace, up off N. Mississippi at Skimore did a soft opening on Saturday to show of their new cart
lot and show the neighborhood what they plan to offer. I ventured down as it is down the street from
my home and had the wonderful opportunity to chat with the owner and developer, Roger Goldingay.
Such great people who in, in the face of an economic downturn, moved forward with a complete
remodel of an old abandoned building and built a lot to support the carts. Well done sir. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Former church - built in
1894"][/caption] And [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Mississippi Marketplace
2009"][/caption] Mississippi
Marketplace has space for 10 sites. As of Saturday, there were already 7 carts landed, including Nuevo
Mexico, The Ruby Dragon, Southwestern Pizza Company, Leroy's BBQ, Vittles and Sushi Tree. Yep,
a mobile sushi cart. Pretty awesome huh? Not all the carts were open on Saturday as some were still
working out details with plumbing or inspections. The carts that were open were busy, with a constant
stream of neighbors coming to welcome them. In speaking with Roger, he stated that the carts will be
open from morning to night since some offer breakfast, while others are more geared to the dinner
crowd. The building they remodeled, a former church, will become a German bar named Prost - slated
to open in October. I see heaven in that mix. Food carts and beer? Hmm, honey, I won't be home for
dinner tonight... The best part of this project for me as a resident of the neighborhood is how they took
this abandoned dilapidated building and vacant lot and turned it into a viable business - geared toward
entrepreneurs. All along N. Mississippi and other sections of North Portland, there are new storefronts
or old buildings remodeled for businesses, but the rents are sometimes prohibitive to someone starting
out. Taking the vacant land and quickly populating it with revenue generating businesses from the start
is what we need both in this community and for the economy as a whole. I'm excited for the next few
weeks as every day we'll see changes to the lot with the carts opening and fine tuning their offerings.
Come on up to my neck of the woods and say hi to the newest crop of carts. Oh, and tell them Food
Carts Portland sent ya. Location: SW corner of N. Mississippi and Skidmore

Thanks for all the comments everyone. So exciting. I agree, an Indian or Chinese food cart would
be a great addition. Regarding Sushi Tree- we spoke with them and they are a vegetarian cart, so
no raw fish is sitting around at the cart if that is what you are concerned about. They have a very
detailed mission statement on how they plan on running their cart. I'm looking forward to it. See
you there.

Just found your blog for the first time... I am amazed at the explosion of food carts in Portland
over the last 5 years or so. At first it was just downtown and now it's spreading like crazy! It's
gone from, "I'm tired of these restaurants around here where should I eat?" to, "I gotta go try that
new cart!" I wish there were more crepe carts around here though, I got hooked by all the crepe
shops and crepe carts in San Francisco the last few times I was there. P.S. Have you had a chance
to check out Parker's Waffles on SW 4th and College? I haven't been able to make it over to that
pod area for a while, but I've heard good things.

Hello everybody, I just wanted to let everyone know that I will open up in about a weeks or so.
I'm still waiting for the carts to go in next me so I can set my trailer down permanently (yet still
mobile). I tried to open up on Saturday for free Samples but couldn't work out all the bugs in my
new trailer. It was very exciting to see so many people there on Saturday. Thanks everyone for
supporting our new "pod".

I ate at two of the new carts on Sunday: Ruby Dragon and Sushi Tree. Both meals were great. I'm
very excited to have great vegan/veggie options in the neighborhood. Hoping some of the carts
stay open late on weeknights as well as weekends since cheap late night dining in the area is
lacking. Permanent outdoor seating and lights would be nice too.

I live near there, wish I would have known about the opening. I'm really wishing we could get an
Indian food cart there. I go downtown now for that. There are already plenty of Mexican and
barbecue places around close. Not sure that I would trust sushi from a cart. As for waffles, there is
a great cart near Rebuilding Center at the other end of Mississipi. Also Moxie does buckwheat
waffles when they're open.

Sounds great. I love the "pod" phenomenon--strength in numbers, rather than cut-throat
competition. And as you point out, it's a fantastic adaptation towards reurbanising space that
suffered the "urban renewal"-style destruction of the 60s-80s. One of the two drama-laden Indian
carts at 12th & Yamhill really needs to move, either to Miss. or Alberta--surely in either
location, with no Indian food anywhere near (and probably plenty of vegetarians) they'd make tons
of money, or at least quit halving their potential intake with a competitor. My idea for the cart I'd
open if I couldn't get a job a couple years ago was a vegetarian "sushi burrito" cart--basically a cart
that made only large-ish uncut rolls with two or three (seasonal?) ingredients to order with
wasabi/ginger/tamari already inside, with maybe miso, udon, tea and simple desserts. Easy to eat
on the go, minimal cooking equipment required, potentially pretty affordable food. So I'll be
curious to find out how Sushi Tree is approaching sushi-from-a-cart. . . Maybe not the place to
ask--but does anyone know why there are no Chinese food carts? Seems to reflect the general lack
of (good) Chinese restaurants inside of 82nd--30 Thai carts, a growing number of Vietnamese,
even a couple Korean carts, and no Chinese food. . .

Hey all, I just wanted to give you an update. Sugar Cube will be moving in soon. Our landlord is
waiting for some equipment he ordered, to help move the rest of the carts in place without using a
tow truck. Another exciting detail about this new "pod" of food carts is the german pub Prost.
The owner seems to be real excited about a symbiotic relationship between the Pub and the Carts.
There is on going dialogue about having the bar patrons able to purchase cart food and bring it
into the bar. Beer and Cart food................ QUE VIVA!!!!

Hi Everyone, Kir here from The Sugar Cube....yes the rumors are true! The sweet treats cart will
also grace the Mississippi Pod within the next few weeks, but probably won't officially open for
another month(keep you posted). I've been hard at work getting this lovely cart ready. There are
some new changes to the menu...think dessert bar! Along with some of the oldies but goodies
there will be several fine dining style desserts on the menu that will rotate seasonally. Some
flavors you might see on the new menu: Ovaltine malt, grassy green olive oil, beer, cheddar,
brown butter, bacon and sea salt...you know how I like the salt! Just a quick shout out to all my
good friends and awesome supporters that have stuck by me. I very much hope that I make you all
happy with my new creations and you can taste the love in each and every bite. Suggestions
always appreciated and I hope to keep your tatse buds on their toes. Sugar+Love=Happy, Kir

New Mexican food by chance, are you? I love Mexican, don't get me wrong, but my New Mexico

Southwestern Pizza Company rules! The crust is perfectly crispy. I have tried to go to the Ruby
Dragon twice. I have to say, they weren't much for customer service the first time. They said they
were only serving brunch, then when I tried to order, they said they were closed. boo. The second
time, they were closed too. Bad timing I guess. I will try again, but 3 strikes and they are out.

Looking forward to SugarCube and seeing what other tasty treats await NoPo tastebuds. Happy at
all the vegi/vegan options, however fear that the neighborhood needs more variety of sorts to keep
this corner thriving. We were there today sampling the pizza and orange cream drinks - all
delicious and good people. Future cart ideas - French fries, good sandwiches (Bunk-ish), and I
echo the call for Indian chaat or Ethiopian.

Tried Southwestern Pizza Company today...OUTSTANDING! It's a pizza on a baked tortilla. Had
the Macho. Going back tomorrow for another. The flavor comes from the toppings because of the
ultra thin crust. Cool new idea.

re: indian food (a sub-thread of these comments?), as Kas says above, try "Mum's Kitchen", a cart
at the corner of fremont and vancouver. it is *amazing*! i had a great chat with the woman
running it, and while its not strictly indian food (she seemed to be debating what she would put on
a sign to describe it), i will clumsily sum it up as: "indian by way of south africa". mostly though,
the food is delicious! she gave me a lot to sample and the blend of fresh ingredients and varieties
of spices were all fabulous. i didnt try a dish that i didnt like. she has chosen to dispense with
some of the heavier milk-based fat, so you dont get the downtown-indian-food-cart heavy, oily
feeling. however, there are pork and chicken dishes, and fried foods (samosas, etc); so its not
about cutting fat out entirely! i tasted great vegetarian versions of the dishes as well, and sampled
some fresh roti. all on a bed of fluffy rice. wow. and the prices are right ($6-7)... worth every
penny. lest i sound like some sort of fanatic, know that the 3 other people who came up to the
window while i ate had all been there before and independently said they had told "all their
friends" about it. maybe the spices have caused some kinda of trance, but my opinion is, if there is
any justice in the portland food cart world, this cart will have a huge line forming; so please hurry!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="245" caption="Cora Y Huichol"][/caption] Location: SE 82nd at Holgate
Description: I grew up in rural SE Portland out by Powell Butte, so venture in that
direction every so often to visit family. When I do, I try to take a circuitous route traveling down those
streets I haven't been down since I was a child. Earlier this fall, it was SE Holgate. As we crossed
82nd, I eyed this cart in the lot of the corner market and decided to check it out. Cora Y Huichol is a
Mexican Taqueria truck offering up an extensive menu of Mexican favorites, including many seafood
and vegetarian options. When we were there at around noon on a Saturday, they were doing brisk
business, telling me that this was a favorite among the many taco trucks that line 82nd blvd. I have
been to Cora Y Huichol twice now. On the first visit, I tried the carnitas burrito. I love carnitas. Who
doesn't love braised spiced pork served up with beans and rice, a little guacamole and some spicy
peppers. This wasn't your traditional giant burrito which makes you wish you hadn't finished it. The
size was perfect for the price and I was sated, albeit my mouth was burning from putting on a bit to
much hot sauce. On my second visit, I chose tacos. I normally get tacos to gauge a new taco truck, so
had to try theirs. I am use to paying $1.50 a taco, so was happy to see that out in SE, they are only
$1.25. Woohooo, saving some money! Cora Y Huichol didn't disappoint. You can get tacos served
with your choice of meats from carnitas to asada to chorizo and even lengua (beef tongue.) You can
also get it vegetarian. I picked out three different meats and chowed down. [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Tacos"][/caption] If you are out and about in SouthEast Portland, check out some of the taco
trucks out there. Cora Y Huichol is one of many who offer up excellent Mexican food at a great price.
The Portland Mercury just finished a story on Taco Trucks to give you an idea of
what others like. If you go, grab a lengua taco and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya.
Sample Menu: Choices of meat: asada (steak), adobada (BBQ pork), pollo
(chicken), carnitas (pork), lengua (beef tongue), cabeza (beef cheek), chorizo (Mexican sausage) and
others. Tacos - $1.25 each Quesadillas - $4.49 Burritos - $4.49
Totas - $4.99 Tostadas - $2.99 each Numerous Marisco (seafood) options
ranging from ceviche at $2.99 to Camarones ahogados (shrimp in lemon and spices) for $11.99
Vegetarian options available Hours: Daily 11am-10pm

I love this cart! It's a true taco truck in the most traditional Los Angeles style of the word Taco
Truck. No frills, no fancy. All races, ethnicities and walks of life go there to chow down. Also,
this being Hispanic Heritage Month, and me being back in PDX on Saturday, I think Dieselboi
and I should write up more taco trucks this month. Agree?

Sounds good, and looking forward to more taco truck writeups! I'll actually be downtown later
this morning and I'm thinking about trying a burrito from the cart just to the right of Jarochita
(when you're standing facing both). Can't remember the name, but I don't think it's been reviewed
here. The problem, of course, is that it's right next to Jarochita. Yum. Another problem is that I
also have to walk directly past Brunch Box to get there when I step off the 15 bus at 5th &
Washington, so sometimes I don't even make it any further than them... Another one I'd like to
hear some thoughts on would be El Brasero, the late-night (and they open at 6 AM for breakfast
on weekdays too, I believe?) taco / burrito cart in the SE 12th & Hawthorne lot. I was there
the other day and came thisclose to trying it, but backed out at the last second and just stuck with a
cone of fries from Potato Champion. Known quantity, and all that. El Brasero looked kinda $$$,
too. Hmmm...

Not only is this cart within walking distance for me, the tortillas are also handmade, cinching this
place as my fave taco cart. Additionally; they also have al pastor(marinated pork) if you ask for it.

caption="Burgerville Nomad"][/caption] Location:
mobile - most recently seen at Pioneer Courthouse Square Description: If you are an Oregonian, when
you think of Burgerville, you may think of Walla Walla sweet onion rings or Blackberry shakes or
Tillamook Cheeseburgers. Burgerville is one of those local chain restaurants that bucks the fast food
trend and embraces what this city loves - local. I have always been a fan of their burgers and known
they were better than the other chains, but it was only in the past few years that Burgerville embraced a
more local stance by partnering with Oregon Country Beef and sourcing their veggies from local
farms. And they are succeeding. Now, they take their menu on the road. The Burgerville Nomad is a burger truck by all accounts. Like many of the taco trucks we see
around the city, it is designed to be truly mobile and doesn't currently have a primary location. The
Nomad has staff too. Not just a couple of individuals in the truck putting together your lunch, but they
have greeters and hosts there to offer you a menu, take your order and hand you a napkin once your
meal is done. I think I counted about seven or eight staff. Wow. They do a brisk business, constantly
busy while I ate my lunch and observed, but no more busy than some of the other carts in the
square. The Nomad offers up an extensive menu. I haven't been in a
real Burgerville in awhile, so this may not be their entire menu. There are the signature burgers, the
homemade veggie burgers, the turkey and chicken sandwiches. There are salads and fries and an
assortment of drinks. They even offer up milkshakes and other desserts, including seasonal ones,
leveraging local fruit harvests. The prices are reasonable - just like in the restaurant and the service is
great. No complaints here. I wanted to enjoy their signature Pepper
Bacon Cheeseburger the other day, but upon arrival, I as informed that they had run out of bacon.
Harrumph! It was only 12:15. I thought that was odd, but picked up the Tillamook Cheeseburger and
enjoyed it just the same. The Burgerville Nomad is a mobile truck, so
if you are looking for it, you should follow them on Twitter or check out their website for current and
future locations. If you want a great burger or blackberry shake, Burgerville is a good choice. When
you find them, tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample
Menu: Pepper Bacon Cheeseburger - Country Natural beef, pepper bacon,
Tillamook cheddar cheese, condiments - $5.70 Tillamook Cheeseburger - Country Natural
beef, Tillamook cheddar cheese, condiments - $4.50 Half-pound Colossal Cheeseburger - 2
1/4 lb. Country Natural Beef patties, American cheese, condiments - $6.40 Hamburger -
$1.60 Cheeseburger - $1.80 Spicy Anasazi Bean Burger - spicy Anasazi bean patty,
Tillamok pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato on a bun - $5.90 Rogue River
Smokey Blue Salad - spring mix greens, Rogue River smokey blue cheese, cranberries, apples and
crape tomatoes - $6.95 French Fries - $2.30 Seasonal Milkshakes - $4.80
Ice Cream Milkshake - $3.60 Hours: varies per event

Well that was certainly disappointing. I had the Tillamook Cheeseburger and it was a very thin
patty with very little cheese a sad limp bun and way to much mayo and ketchup. The philly
cheese steak place that seems to be missing in action in the square made a far better burger for the
price.

***New Cart*** [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="The Big Egg"][/caption] Location: N. Mississippi at Skidmore in
Mississippi Marketplace Description:
Breakfast! The most important meal of the day. Isn't that what we've learned all our lives?
And yet, what do we eat when running out the door trying to get to the office or run that important
errand - coffee, pastries... or something like that. I try and eat healthy in the morning, but am not the
best example of a breakfast eater. I am usually on the fly to work when I decide I need something and
grab a donut or something equally unhealthy. Today though, I changed it up. I woke up earlier than
usual, made quick my morning routine and walked down the street to a new cart offering breakfast in
my neighborhood- The Big Egg. Mississippi Marketplace, a new pod located in north Portland opened
two weeks ago and the carts are beginning to open and work out the kinks. This morning was The Big
Egg's first morning and I'm glad I was there to welcome them. When I think of breakfast out, the mind
ranges from the full greasy spoon breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, fruit and toast all the
way to the simple egg McMuffin from the fast food joints. If you venture beyond the local diner and
fast food, you can enjoy a healthier breakfast, but you may be required to stand around for awhile since
there are more people wanting that than there are amazing restaurants that offer it. In comes the
breakfast food cart! The Big Egg serves breakfast. Simple as that. They craft breakfast in the form of
egg sandwiches and wraps, but also offer up french toast, granola, fruit and sweet stuff. This morning,
while perusing the menu for the first time, my heart skipped a beat seeing that The Big Egg had a
Monte Cristo on the menu. Seriously, my heart skipped a few beats remembering the last time I
ventured into Monte Cristo land. This is one sandwich you do not take lightly. It is also one I will need
to return for as this morning, I wasn't hungry enough to tackle it. I ordered up the Breakfast Wrap, a
grilled tortilla filled generously with scrambled eggs, roasted red potatoes (chopped up in small pieces
for easy eating,) grilled portabello mushrooms, fire-roasted poblano salsa and Gorgonzola cheese. All
this comes drizzled with their yogurt-lime sauce. It was huge! [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="The Big Egg Breakfast Wrap"][/caption]
As I wandered back down the street to catch my morning train,
I dove in. The wrap was a larger tortilla that wasn't filled to the max. That to me is a good think since I
don't have to worry about everything bursting out the sides. It was juicy, so I got a little messy at the
end, but it was worth it. I loved the mix of the ingredients. Everything was just the right amount that
nothing overwhelmed anything else. The potatoes and mushrooms were cut perfect. Small, so when
grilled, they became tasty morsels. Needless to say, it filled me up. I'm excited to have these new carts
so close to me. With a couple of them, including The Big Egg, offering breakfast, it expands our
options for when we don't want to make it at home. Also, this will be perfect for those weekend
mornings when you want something good but quick before heading out on errands. Head on down to
The Big Egg, enjoy some breakfast or brunch, welcome Gayle and Elizabeth to the neighborhood and
tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: The Portlander: two
eggs any style, cheese, with fresh chive and country dijon mustard served on a toasted Grand Central
brioche - $5. w/meat $6 (meat includes applewood smoked bacon, ham, veggie sausage) The
Arbor Lodge: one egg any style, grilled portobello mushrooms, caramelized balsamic onions, arugula
with roasted garlic and herb aioli on grilled Grand Central brioche - $6.50 The Mississippi
Monte Cristo: one egg any style, grilled black forest ham and gorgonzolla, drizzled with pure mable
glaze, stacked between two pieces crunchy vanilla cardamom brioche French toast and dusted with
powdered sugar - $6.50 Breakfast Wrap: tortilla filled with scrambled eggs, roasted red
peppers, grilled portabello mushrooms, fire-roasted poblano salsa, cheese, drizzled with yogurt-lime
sauce - $4.25; w/meat $5.25 Crunch French Toast: two slices of Grand Central brioche
dipped in vanilla cardamom batter and dusted with powdered sugar. Served with choice of meat -
$5 Granola, Fruit and Yogurt cup - $4 Hours: Daily 7am-2pm

Just tried it and am glad I did! The crunchy french toast is delicious! And I could eat it on the go
because they cut it for dipping. Yesss. Bacon is thick cut, lean and cooked perfectly. Will
definitely be back. Thanks for being in the 'hood!

I love a good fried egg sandwich, and the Good Egg did not disappoint! The lovely lady that
cooked my food was obviously a master of the grill. Usually eggs ordered hard elsewhere come
out overcooked and "burnt", not here. And the bread was soooo soft and had a perfect golden
crisp. The soy "sausage" was hand made from tempeh (not the yucky TVP or gluten) and spiced
deliciously. Ill be back, oh yes, Ill be back!

Brett, Thank you so much for posting such a kind review of our food cart. We are big fans of this
site and I am so sorry, it wasn't until you were walking away that it dawned on me that you were
the Brett from Food Carts Portland! Now i know what you look like, so come on back and say "hi"
anytime. We want to also thank everyone who has come by the cart over the past 2 days. We
appreciate all the support and look forward to seeing you all again. Mississippi Marketplace is a
terrific location with a diverse collection of food carts...there's definitely something for everyone!
Thanks again, Gail The Big Egg

Holy cow! Gale and Elizabeth are definitely doing something right with this super cute, yolk
colored cart. I just had the breakfast wrap and let me start by saying yum.yum.yum. I'm not really
a fan of wraps per se, but this just changed my mind. Tender scrambled egss, a gooey layer of
Fontina cheese, big chunks of well seasoned and crispy potatoes, delicious and an ample portion
of sauteed portabella mushrooms...and this great yogurt-lime sauce that tied everything together
harmoniously. This was not "just" a breakfast wrap, but something thoughtfully put together and
well executed. I'm super happy to be on the receiving end of this special place. Thanks for a
fantastic breakfast!

I stopped by here the first time this morning for breakfast and at 12noon I'm still full and happy.
The brioche was such a nice touch along with the chive/mustard spread that accompanied my
perfectly cooked eggs. I make a lot of egg sandwiches at home on a panini grill, so I was skeptical
about going out for one, but this is worth it. Gail and Elizabeth were sweet as can be. So glad to
have this in the neighborhood!

So I am ALWAYS on the lookout for a tasty breakfast treat, especially of the sammy/wrap/burrito
variety. I was excited to hear about this place, and even more so as I stepped on this sunny
morning and was greeted by a friendly person and a VERY appealing little menu. I was hungry,
ready, and excited for my amazing-sounding egg wrap with taters, gorgonzola and bacon....
...right up until I was told there'd be a 45min wait. What? 45min?!!? At a food cart? Sorry, I'll
head over to La Bonita and get a fantastic breakfast burrito in 10 min. I understand a cart can
only handle so much business, but the lunch places downtown are PACKED every day and I've
never waited more than 10 min for something there. I sincerely hope that either this was just a
fluke, or that The Big Egg can get things running a little more efficiently. It's walking distance
from my home and I'd love NOTHING more than to become a regular at this cute looking place...

In defense to the long wait at The Big Egg..they were just named one of the top ten food carts in
Portland and they were absolutely slammed because of it. I eat there often and it usually takes ten
minutes tops for my order. This is a new business that just got hit with unexpected press and they
are working out of an incredibly small cart. Give em a break, come early and plan sometime to sit
and enjoy some lovingly made food. Food that is not out of a jar, but fresh and hot onto the grill
and into your hungry hands. Remember good things come those who wait and I will happily wait
for their breakfast goodies.

I did give the Big Egg another try recently and the wait was much, much more reasonable. Less
than 10 min and the breakfast wrap was FANTASTIC!! I had gorgonzola with bacon and the
pairing was sublime. It was, however, pretty salty with the cheese and the bacon, but still, one the
best breakfast burritos/wraps I've had anywhere in Portland. I will be back!!! :)

Glad you gave Big Egg a second chance. In professional food reviews, most writers wait a month
or even three before making too many judgments on a new establishment since it does take most
new restaurants awhile to get their timing, staffing, and overall production down. If you've ever
worked in a restaurant then you know that for everything that goes wrong there are 1000 things
from order to serving that could also go wrong but don't. Carts are no different, just in miniature
and come with their own sets of challenges and kinks that need to be worked out. Glad to see the
Big Egg is getting their own rhythm down and honing their production, food and overall timing.

***New Cart*** [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="Parkers Waffles and Coffee"][/caption] Location:
SW 4th and Hall Description: A couple of years ago, I would never have thought that waffles could be the
focus of a cart. That was because I wasn't thinking outside the box. I was thinking of the waffles of my
youth - simple breakfast fare served maybe with fruit, but always with syrup. In 2009, waffles have
taken on a whole new persona with numerous carts popping up offering a different take on the
traditional breakfast nosh. Parkers Waffles down in the Portland State University POD joined this past
summer and I'm glad they did. I have enjoyed what I call "waffle
gyros" from a few of the other carts in town. Parkers describes theirs as waffle burritos - I like that.
One difference I saw immediately with Parkers is that they offered up what I would normally see with
a sandwich cart, but with waffles- pulled pork, beef brisket, ham and Gruyere, egg scrambles. They
still do offer up the sweetness that we all love for breakfast, but now we can have waffles for
lunch. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="240"
caption="Oktoberfest waffle from Parker's"][/caption] I chose the daily special - the Oktoberfest - an
Oktoberfest daufelwaffle, split brat, grilled onions, Gruyere, spicy mustard and sauerkraut.
Oktoberfest! All I needed was a giant stein of beer! I'm always concerned the waffle will overpower
the ingredients, but this mix was just right. It was also not that messy. I got some looks while walking
to work - probably envy because my breakfast looked better than their bran muffin. Parkers Waffles
has a great niche here. They are the only cart in the PSU Pod serving breakfast, surrounded by office
buildings and a university. I think that was a great decision. If you're hungry and need both protein and
sweets, take the MAX down to southwest downtown and see Parkers Waffles. Tell them Food Carts
Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: The Original: waffle brushed with sweet
cream or maple butter and lightly dusted with powdered sugar - single-$2.50; double-$4; tripple-
$5.50 Ham and Gruyere scamble: two eggs scrambled with ham, onions, mushrooms and
Gruyere, served on a waffle - $6 The Iron Pig scramble: two eggs scrambled with spinach,
bacon, onion and cheddar, served on a waffle - $6 Pulled Pork: pulled pork from Leroy's
Familiar Vittles with dressing, served on a waffle - $6 Beef Brisket: Leroy's beef brisket
served with choice of cole slaw or not on a waffle - $6 Apple Crisp: grilled granny smith
apples, spices and Amaretto topped with sweetened sour cream and almond pecan streusel served on a
waffle - $5 Lemon and Blueberry: house-made lemon curd and blueberries topped with
whipped cream and lemon zest; served on a waffle - $5 Stumptown coffee and other
beverages available Hours: Monday through Friday; 7am- 2pm

It's worth noting that they have great vegetarian options! My personal favorite is the all veggie
scramble with no cheese, but the pesto man is also great. You can build your own waffle for the
same price, so the choices are endless!

I read this article today and thought that Oktoberfest sounded great for lunch. I went there to order
it. I was dismayed that it discontinued, but they said they will have it back next year. So I ordered
a meat and egg waffle gyro. Again, it was out of eggs! (sigh) Now, I guess I'll just get the
breakfast part: peach with nuts on top of a warm waffle. The size was considerable for the price, 6
dollars. The sauted peach was aplenty and nearly took over the waffle. As i ate bite by bite, I
found that I was enjoying my lunch and forgotten about the.....what was it about? Kudos to
Parker's.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="The Local
Grind"][/caption] Location: Ira
Keller Fountain Park - SW 4th and Clay Description: Whenever I think of the first
food carts I ate at, I harken back to the early 90's and the carts that were available in Pioneer
Courthouse Square. I forget about the love that we discovered when working down by PSU of the
Hawaiian cart at the Ira Keller Fountain. Over the years, I can't tell you how many rice bowls I ate
there because early on, we were there every day - even in the rain. There is nothing like grabbing an
excellent mix of marinated grilled chicken over rice and sitting at the edge of the fountain and enjoying
the quiet while you eat. Over the years, the cart has come and gone and changed names and ownership.
I'm happy to tell you that The Local Grind offers up what I remember and it is pretty darn tasty.
Some call it bento, others call it rice bowls, I call it chicken over rice. The
Local Grind offers up three different types of marinated grilled chicken over rice - as simple as that.
I'm glad it is simple as it doesn't force me to choose from a large menu and it allows them to focus
their energy on what they do well. The three types are garlic/honey, teriyaki and "da shred." All are
chicken marinated over night and then grilled and fresh for lunch every day. I usually choose two
different types of chicken - garlic and honey and da shred. "Da Shred" is shredded chicken simmered
in fresh ginger and garlic sauce and I'll tell you, it is some of the best chicken I have tasted. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Da Shred and
Garlic Honey over brown rice"][/caption] Sitting
there with the slightly overcast sky, listening to the fountain was a great day to enjoy this lunch. I got a
large, which is more than I really should be eating, but I finished it. The rice was a generous portion (I
chose brown rice) and the chicken was moist and fully flavored throughout. No dry chicken here.
The Local Grind can be found at the top of the fountain across from Keller
Auditorium. I would suggest them for before the opera, but I don't think they do anything but lunch.
While the weather is still nice, head on down to enjoy some local flavor and tell them Food Carts
Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: All
meals are a bed of rice covered with a small or large portion of chicken. Brown or white rice available.
Small -$5; large - $6 Teriyaki - marinated overnight in homemade teriyaki sauce
Da shred - tasty morsels of chicken simmered in fresh ginger and garlic Garlic honey - a
blend of honey, sesame and fresh ginger and garlic Sides - Island style mac salad; fresh
sauteed veggies - $1 Hours: Monday through Friday, 11am-2pm

homemade lunch and watched the guy set up, and the smell was amazing. I was tempted to ditch
my lunch to get something there. Looks tasty - will have to check it out.

***New Cart*** [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="The Ruby Dragon"][/caption] Location: N
Mississippi at Skidmore in Mississippi Marketplace Description: I won't take up too
much of your time introducing myself. But since this is my first post, I should take a moment to say
who I am. I'm Anna, a sometimes blogger and lover of food carts who just spent the last two years
getting my second degree. Diploma framed, I am now ready to start writing again! I'm primarily a
vegetarian, a sometimes fish eater and love vegan food. Though my intent is not to convert meateaters,
I can't help but encourage carnivores to wipe those images of limp, bland bean sprouts and raw carrots
from your mind's eye and open yourself to the possibility of a healthy, delectable alternative to daily
meat. Vegan fare can be incredibly tasty and satisfying even for the most hard core carnivore. Thanks
Dieselboi for allowing me to add my two cents and hopefully this will not be my only post! Last week
I had the great fortune of meeting Tyler of The Ruby Dragon and trying his daily breakfast special. As
a long time vegetarian (and, upon rare occasion, eater of seafood, making me, more accurately, a
fishaterian I suppose) sometimes I just want to go somewhere where I can order ANYTHING on the
menu and not be limited by the presence of any animal products. I also want a meal that's satisfying
and delicious without compromising or substituting on flavor or ingredients and one that isn't all sugar
and carbs. Honestly, I don't believe this is too much to ask of my vegetarian foodies. Thankfully
Portland has a growing and varied plethora of veggie and vegan options for even the most
discriminating palette. The Ruby Dragon, in the new Mississippi Marketplace is a welcome addition to
the already stellar selection of all-vegan fare. Tyler, a long-time vegan, and his partner decided several
months ago they wanted to offer tasty, hearty vegan food with an ethnic flare. With the help of a
contractor, Tyler's beautiful food cart came into existence soon after he and his partner decided to
embark on their food-cart adventures. I happened to waltz by early on a Thursday and was treated to
their daily special; a quinoa pancake (a complete protein for those of you who didn't think vegans can
get all their protein through plant products!) with blueberries. It was absolutely amazing and I
immediately regretted not getting the pancake with dark chocolate and walnuts. Additional, I enjoyed a
tempeh scramble stir-fried with shitake mushrooms, bell peppers, cashews and home blended
Ethiopian curry which was subtle and satisfying. Finally,"You're Home Fries," which are best
described in their menu as "sauteed to perfection... with an Ethiopian touch." I ordered a tall coconut
juice and my entire bill was $9. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Tyler from
The Ruby Dragon"][/caption] The Ruby Dragon had only been open a handful of
days when I wandered over to the corner of Skidmore and Mississippi. There were dozens of people
milling about the carts, including an Oregonian photographer, even at 11am. Several people ordered
after me, so I wasn't able to speak with Tyler for too long about his cart. I was thoroughly impressed
with their menu, the friendly, helpful service and presentation. My meal was served on a gorgeous
wooden plate right off the grill. The serving size was more than adequate - I'm not a big fan of
supersized meals, but I also don't like to feel like I'm not getting my money's worth. My sense from our
brief conversation is that Tyler has really invested himself into the quality and philosophy of The Ruby
Dragon. I know I'll be stopping by again soon and you should too. When you do, tell them Food Carts
Portland sent ya. Sample menu: "Eternal Morning" (b-fast) Quinoa
Pancakes - made with fresh ground quinoa flour and hempseeds, topped with real maple, blueberries
& walnuts or with blueberries, walnuts and dark chocolate... one $3.50 - $4.75; two $6.50 -
$4.75 Yammies - Sliced yams sauteed with onions, garlic, cashews, and a touch of spice...
small $3.50; large $4.50 "Soup and Salad Noon" (lunch) Mamma Miso soup -
Buckwheat noodles and tofu, dino kale, local miso, and a tinity of ginger, onion and garlic, topped with
scallion... $5 Roasted Roots - Leeks, potatoes, squash, carrots, parsnips and a
hearty mix of fresh herbs and Indian curry. Served with sprouted toast... $5 "Afternoon Till
Sun Down" (dinner) Roots Fried Rice - Choice of tofu or tempeh, yammies, onion, seasonal
veggies, cashews, sauteed with Ethiopian curry and brown rice. Topped with veganaise and avocado...
$7 Cashew Eggplant - Eggplant, tofu, carrots, bell pepper, green onion, snow
peas, cashews sauteed in a spicy brown sauce with a touch of lime (extra heat available upon request)...
$7 The Ruby Dragon has an extensive menu, this is just a sampling of what they have to
offer. Hours: Tuesday through Sunday, 8am-8pm Phone:

Not to split hairs, but please don't say you're a vegetarian if you eat fish. You're not a vegetarian. I
have no trouble with you going on your own food journey, wherever it takes you. But for us long-
time vegetarians, the question, "but you eat fish right?" is really, really annoying.

didn't have any time to stop on the way as I was in a rush back here to SE from up in St. Johns.
Open on weekends, huh? Hmmm. Maybe I can roll out of bed early one of these Sundays...

Good review overall, but it's unfortunate that it's full of misinformation about vegan food
(complete protein idea - that you must consume it at once - has been discredited for some time)
and while praising, manages to make vegan food sound like it's difficult to enjoy and find and
second-rate to food made out of animal parts. Let's stop apologizing for being vegans.

I was curious how it's spelled, because I'm one too! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pescetarianism I
love Wikipedia. I will be working at the Mississippi Marketplace and last week I had a chance to
try the Ruby Dragon's Curry Tofu. Wow, I was not expecting the complexity of flavor. I think
working next to the Ruby Dragon is going to be a wonderful perk of the job!

Thanks all for the comments. I'm not sure what misinformation about veganism I am guilty of
passing on, so please do help me understand. Also, I am a lover of vegan food hands down! I do
not find it "difficult to enjoy", but love it and enjoy it thoroughly and do not look at it as a
substitute for animal products. And finally, I am not a vegetarian, and should have clarified that I
eat a primarily vegetarian diet instead of referring to myself as primarily vegetarian. Poor wording
on my part, not meant to insult or diminish vegans or vegetarians in any way. By the way, just
stopped by Ruby Dragon over the weekend for the b-fast special and cannot stop raving about the
quinoa pancakes. Do try them with blueberries, walnuts and dark chocolate!! <>

I had the spicy eggplant curry today and it blew my socks off. Spice-eeeeey! But all in a good
way. And in a real bowl, with a real fork and sticky rice basket! I was very pleased. And I am
neither vegan nor vegetarian but I loved the food and want to go back during the week for a lunch
of that kale salad.

Autumn has arrived with the cooler weather and some rain. That doesn't mean the carts close, so keep
on eating at them. Here is some news: There are some new carts out there that we just haven't had a
the time to get to. Carts are opening daily now all around Portland. Here are a few. Che Cafe
- N. Williams at Shaver Mum's Kitchen - Indian food - N. Fremont at Vancouver
Suzette - new creperie on NE Alberta at 29th The Frying Scotsman - a new fish and
chips cart (review soon) on NW 22nd and Raleigh The Fried Onion - Chicago style dogs
made by a New Yorker on NW 22nd and Raleigh WYEast - artisan pizza out off SE 50th,
just north of Powell blvd. Dogfeathers - a new coffee carts is open at Mississippi
Marketplace Southwestern Pizza is now open at Mississippi Marketplace Boy
Gorilla coffee - a coffee cart up by PSU ____________________________________ Some
carts have either moved or changed it up. Their listings have been updated: The Limp
Noodle has setup a permanent location at SW 3rd and Ash. The Empress is now located at
SE 11th and Clay, just south of Hawthorne and has a compound for seating. Nuevo Mexico
has moved to Mississippi Marketplace at N. Mississippi and Skidmore and is slated to open very
soon. Dreamer's cafe is closed and from what I have heard, the cart is up for sale on
Craigslist. ____________________________________ Other tidbits: El Masrey
Egyptian is closed for the next month for vacation. From a sign on their cart, they will reopen on
Nov. 1 with a new menu. Whiffies Fried Pies is doing collaboration week this week with the
winner of the Portland Pie Off - Chefchopper. Head on down for some tasty pies at SE 12th and Hawthorne.
NW 22nd and Raleigh is becoming a little food cart nexus. I visited for the first time yesterday and
there are 3 food carts setup - The Frying Scotsman, The Fried Onion and a Bento place up by 23rd.
More field trips are in order. I discovered a blog by a future food cartrepreneur who is
building his cart from the ground up. I'm excited to see where he lands and what he'll offer. To have
the skills to build a cart tells me you may have mad skills in the kitchen. Check out PDXPicNic, "The blog of a budding Portland food
cart." Gourmet
magazine did a whole week on street food, highlighting some of Portland's gems. Check out the
article to see what other cities offer. ____________________________________ Lastly,
with autumn here and winter not to far away, I'll let you in on a secret - indoor dining options. In
downtown, there are a few places that are open and dry where you can go and freely enjoy your food
cart nosh. The US Bank Tower on SW 5th and Oak has a large spot on the 2nd floor that is actually a
city park. Up by SW 10th and Alder is the atrium for The Galleria building - tables, chairs etc. Down
by PSU at 4th and College, cross 4th ave from the carts and head into the cities Bureau of Planning
building to the basement. Plenty of tables and chairs to get out of the rain. There are more and we'll be
writing an article soon so you can be prepared for the rain. That's about it. There is obviously more, so
when it comes up, we'll let you know. If you hear of new carts or news about carts, drop us a quick
note via the contact form. Enjoy
the carts and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya.

On a rainy day, the 9th floor of the Mark O Hatfield is supposed to be great. Problem is that you
have to go through TSA-like security to get into the building. It's possible they might take your
plastic knives and forks!

Hi, the 3 carts on NW Raleigh between 22nd and 23rd are open M-F from around 10 ish to 2. I do
know that James at the Frying Scotsman will be trying out Saturday lunch this week (Oct. 3rd) to
see how the response is during the weekend. His hours are 11 to 2. Thanks.

The Bento guy has been at that location for a long time, about two years I believe. The Fried
Onion has moved quite a bit lately, it was up near Food Front from what I understand for several
years. It then moved to a parking lot down on 23rd right across from McMenamins, about six
months ago. They then just recently moved down to the NW 22nd location about a month ago.
Their sausages are pretty good, but not outstanding. Their selling point for me is location, and the
owners are very nice to talk too, especially on dreary days.

Location: 8438 SE Woodstock Description: Located just east of
busy 82nd Avenue in the Lents neighborhood, El Nutri is a perennial SE neighborhood favorite for
both authentic and more American-Mexican fusion taco truck fare; the convenient hours for lunch,
dinner until 10PM and Saturdays; and very decent prices. The recent addition of a large, comfortable
deck and tables and chairs on the patio makes this a nice respite sit-down for lunch or dinner when the
weather is dry. In addition, El Nutri, unlike most "authentic" homespun taco trucks, even has their own
website. Hurrah for taco trucks with websites!
Standard, but far better than average tacos and burritos of all kinds are made with fresh homemade
tortillas, and are supplemented by specials such as huaraches, tortas (including a sloppy lick-smacking Cubana made
with a whole mess of meats such as chicken or ham, egg, refried beans, avocado, lettuce, pickled
jalapenos and cheeses), and a ham and cheese quesadilla. The Lengua (tongue), and Desebrada
(shredded beef) are standouts for those who love carne. All of the meats I've tried are tender and melt-
in-your-mouth, the way they should be. Don't worry though; vegans and vegetarians will be pleasantly
pleased at offerings such as tofu, soyrizo, vegetarian beans, and lots of fresh vegetables. El Nurti even
offers soy mayo and other vegan condiments. It's this kind of attention to detail that makes El Nutri
special. Food comes on nice plates with real silverware, not plastic. The patio is kept clean. The
servers go out of their way to accommodate questions and special request. There is even a kids menu
with smaller portioned, lower priced quesadillas, sopes and the the like. I do have to tell
you all a funny story though, one that for me only adds to the appeal of El Nutri. The neighborhood the
truck is located in is by no means bad, it's simply a "keeping it real" working class Portland 'hood and
not the trendy squeaky clean, boutique-ville we've come to witness in many areas West of 82nd Ave.
That said, the last time I ate at El Nutri, there was a scene in the small apartment complex across the
street that was like a cross between watching Shakespeare in the Park and an episode of Cops: wife
beater t-shirts, angry woman throwing things out the upstairs window, and Bitchin' Camero included.

It's nice that they use real plates and silverware. One of the main reasons I've cut back on food
carts, is all the disposables that go along with them: plastic forks, plastic bags, plastic or foam
containers, etc. I will have to check this cart out...

Anna--I've found a lot of carts will let you use your own containers, or re-use ones from them.
Definitely helps. Not always practicable, but at least at your regular haunts it's worth asking.

Gorilla Coffee"][/caption] Location: SW
Mill st, between 6th and Broadway Description: Coffee. $1. What else is there to
say? Simple. Straight forward. Good tasting coffee. $1. Boy Gorilla coffee figured this one out. All
around the Portland State University campus are both corporate and non corporate coffee shops. Last I
visited one, a small cup of black coffee started at $1.40 and it wasn't that good. For $1 at Boy Gorilla,
you get a 12oz cup of Legare's house blend coffee. You can opt for tea or chai or iced tea all for $1, but
I got the coffee. Pretty tasty for $1. Boy Gorilla is right there just west
of the MAX tracks on SW Mill st. (I grew up on Mill st. in SE Portland, fancy that!) Eschew the bigger
coffee chains and give them a try. Tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Hours: "most days" morning to evening Website: Boy Gorilla blog Twitter:

4th and Hall Description: A coworker and I needed something hearty for lunch and wanted to try something new. We saw
the shiny yellow cart named dosirak and decided to give it a try. Talk about simple ordering. This cart
offers up one dish and one dish only - marinated chicken over rice with a salad and some dumplings
called mandoos. That's it. The cart is aptly named - dosirak translates to lunchbox. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="240"
caption="dosirak lunchbox"][/caption] The "lunchbox" comes with a
generous portion of sticky white rice covered with amazing marinated charbroiled chicken and a
couple of mandoo (little dumplings.) The salad has a unique miso flavored dressing that is perfectly
matched with the chicken. The lunch was great. A perfect portion with great tastes and wonderfully
simple. I especially like the mandoo as they had a texture and flavor that melted in your mouth. If you're out looking for a new take on marinated chicken and rice, visit
dosirak and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Menu: The Lunchbox: marinated chicken charbroiled to
perfection; fresh green salad with miso dressing and mandoo (little dumplings - $6 Mandoo
(dumplings) - small order 6 pieces - $3; large order 10 pieces - $4 Contact:

I stopped here for lunch a few weeks ago, drawn in by the free sample. Honestly, I wasn't as
impressed as this review. I liked the salad, especially the dressing. And the dumplings were great.
But, I thought that their chicken was covered with sauce that was very sickly sweet and just had
too much sugar with not enough bitter or sour flavors. All in all it wasn't terrible, but given the
great options in the PSU pod (Vietnamese! Afro-Caribbean! Mexican!), this wouldn't be in my top
5.

My wife and I ate there this past weekend and really enjoyed the meal. You can get brown rice,
too, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was served sticky, Asian style. Unlike some previous
commenters, I really enjoyed the chicken. It was perfectly tender, and the sauce -- while, yes,
sweet -- was great. The dumplings were very tasty, too. I might have enjoyed the salad more, but it
was basically iceberg lettuce (miso sauce or no), which I just don't enjoy. The owner is a very
nice guy, pleasant to talk to while you're waiting for your order.

***New Cart*** [caption
id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="The Frying Scotsman Fish and Chips"][/caption] Location:
NW Raleigh, between 22nd and 23rd Description: Another field trip
yielded yet another great cart find - The Frying Scotsman. This new fish and chips cart is located in
NW Portland, away from the regular pods we normally see every day downtown. Yet, after a 10
minute bus ride and a block or two walk, I found the cart and discovered two more within walking
distance. Who knew NW 22nd was a cart magnet? The day I visited, autumn had arrived and was
threatening rain. Being an Oregonian, I was out just in a sweater with no jacket nor umbrella, secretly
hoping to not be caught uncovered. When I arrived at The Frying Scotsman, I was glad to discover his
cart is in a garage, fully covered and protected from the elements. The Frying Scotsman focuses on
traditional British style fish and chips. The owner and head chef James was born and raised outside of
Glasgow and only recently moved to Portland with his family. While eating my lunch, (during the
downpour, protected by the garage) I was able to chat with James. Such a friendly gentleman who has
traveled the world working in different countries and experiencing life. A lifelong chef, opening a
"British chippy" after not being able to find work in this town was a natural conclusion. [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="240" caption="Fish and Chips from The Frying Scotsman"][/caption] I ordered and thoroughly enjoyed
the haddock fish and chips. James serves up large portions of fish, lightly breaded with a handful of
thick cut fried potatoes. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. I'm one of those
eaters who love his condiments and the tarter sauce complemented the fish just right. What's great was
that it wasn't needed that much as the fish was tasty in and of itself. Sitting there at a small fold up
table decorated with an embroidered table cloth while watching it rain and rain was a perfect way to
spend my lunch. The Frying Scotsman is a find. I'm glad James decided to open this cart. Welcome to
Portland sir and we wish you all well. Take a field trip up to NW 22nd and say hi to James. He's a
great conversationalist and has some great stories. I know I'll be back. Tell them Food Carts Portland
sent ya. Sample Menu: Battered Cod fish and chips - $6.25
Battered Red Snapper fish and chips - $6.25 Battered Haddock fish and chips -
$6.50 Battered Halibut fish and chips - $7.50 Small order of chips - $2.25

I'm excited about this cart. There's a whole slew of British ex-pats, and Americans who have lived
in Britain, now residing in Portland. I've repeatedly heard them lament that Portland needs a real
"chippy". It's a British thing - like a good burger and fries from is to Americans. When you are
away from it, you start to crave it something fierce. Really excited to try Frying Scotsman
myself. I'll be bringing some British friends along for the fun.

Tried it and REALLY liked it...it was really great especially for a cart and for what he was
charging. Really nice guy to talk to as well. Definatly will be back. I wish he was down a little
further on 23rd, so that he could really make a go of being a later night place...a little worried that
he's too isolated where he currently is, but wish him well! Also, while James' is awesome and I
don't suggest anyone not hit his place up, for those looking for another taste of true english style
fish and chips, there is "The Fish and Chip Shop" on Mississippi. Amazing as well...though 2x the
price and MUCH longer wait (they actually wait to cut the filets until you order...kinda crazy).

Just went for lunch (11/5/09) and am so happy I found this place. My husband is English and we
have tried fish and chips places all across the US to much disappointment. This is the first place
we've found that gives you a real chippy experience. Great battered fish, perfect chips and a
reasonable price. James was also very friendly.

battered just right as well. And after a great lunch today, just found out he's opening on Saturday
lunchtime as well now. Awesome.

Some quick items from cart land. SideCart, that decadent fried food cart on SW 5th and Oak is
expanding their menu next week to include fried chicken. When Ryan at BrunchBox informed me of
this yesterday, my saliva glands did a happy dance. Watch for the tweets next week. Follow
@PDXFoodCarts if you aren't already. _________________ Gourmet Magazine has shuttered. Bad
news for foodies all around. Nancy Rommelmann, a great food writer and contributor to Portland Food
and Drink wrote a great post on what it meant to her here. Gourmet recently showcased street food all around the nation, including
Portland. Hopefully that will stay online forever. _________________ Got a tweet about a Seattle
food cart festival this weekend, so if you are traveling to the emerald city, check this out. The
Mobile Chowdown 2009 in Interbay (1616 West Bertona.) And check out this cart they profile. I
want one just to travel the country: [caption id="attachment_1447"

SW 10th and Alder (west of 10th) Description: Even with fall in the air and
winter on the way, there isn't a reason to leave the taste of BBQ to summer's past. There are plenty of
places in Portland to get your BBQ fix during the colder months. BBQ Fusion has joined them.
BBQ Fusion offers up a few BBQ options including a pulled pork
sandwich and BBQ ribs. I'm not sure any of the carts downtown offer up ribs, so this is new. I chose to
try the pulled pork sandwich with beans and coleslaw. Before I could take some notes on the menu and
such, my meal was ready. Speedy! [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="240" caption="Pulled Pork sandwich from BBQ Fusion"][/caption] Before I
cruised off to eat this, the owner suggested I try the white sauce. I can't remember if he called it
Alabama or Arkansas white sauce, but I took the suggestion and squirted a bit in my container. That
was the best decision. I'm not sure what is in the sauce. Obviously mayonnaise based, it had spices and
pepper that made it zing. I dipped my sandwich in it throughout the meal wanting more with every
bite. It made the meal. BBQ Fusion is located in one of the ever
growing pods just west of SW 10th avenue on Alder. Next time you are up there and craving some
BBQ, check them out and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Pulled pork sandwich with beans and coleslaw
- $6 Grilled shrimp served over rice with coleslaw (regular or Cajun) - $6 Chicken
skewers - Mediterranean, Thai or Cajun - $6 Sausage plates - brat, beef or veggies - $4
Pork ribs - half rack - $10; full rack $20 Hours: Monday through

Mayonnaise-based BBQ sauce comes from Alabama. They do a lot of things backwards there, and
that's one of them. PS - A helpful song to help remember your local BBQ styles:

Thanks for the detailed write-ups about Portland carts. I just want to offer a recommendation for
you to check out, a personal favorite of mine: Ugarit Mediterranean Meals (apparently named after
an ancient Syrian village). Generally, I do not care for lamb dishes, something about the flavor
in the fat just does not work for me. However, I understand from proprietor Mohammad that he
roasts fresh lamb himself daily, and it is so well drained that I do not have that experience. His is
the only lamb gyros in town that I have found I can eat. I have enjoyed my conversations with
him - he is proud to have raised two sons by running his food cart business. I often take business
colleages or out-of-town guests there for lunch. Also, his business card says he does catering,
which could come in handy for some folks. You will find him in a green & yellow cart on
the west side of SW 10th Avenue, just a bit north of Alder (between Alder & Washington).

BBQ fusion is easily the worst cart food - and some of the worst food overall - I've had in
Portland. Their "chiken skewers" are dried-out, browned, frozen chicken which tastes the same
(bland and cafeteria-worthy) no matter which style you opt for. Their rice is Uncle Ben's-style,
also dry and flavorless. The beans are a joke - warmed beans out of a can. The sauces are totally
borin and CostCo based like everything else. No wonder the food is served quickly - it's not
cooked, it's just heated. I appreciate your blog, but if you like *every* cart you try, the blog
becomes no better than the Yellow Pages - just a list of places, all equally recommended.

I think this is a good opportunity to remind everyone about how Food Carts Portland.com
operates. We are not a food review site. We explore, we eat, we write about the carts based on our
own personal experiences and view points, but we stay away from ratings, stars, and other critical
judgments. We like to let readers make up their own minds on if they like a particular cart or not,
and do love constructive, fair comments in return from our readers. For us here at Food Carts
Portland, part of the joy of eating at carts is the discovery of new things at a low cost - and not all
of those discoveries are going to be to everyone's liking. Our motto is: let everyone decide for
themselves! For us, this site is also about supporting small businesses, documenting Portland's
unique cart culture, and participating in the strong "cart community" in Portland and around the
globe. While we might offer some suggestions and a few tips on what we'd like to see, or where a
cart might improve a bit, if we really think a cart is horrible, we don't write about it. End of story.
If people are looking for reviews in the traditional sense before they head on out to try a specific
cart, I would suggest going to Yelp (www.yelp.com). They do a terrific job there in reviewing
carts based on their guidelines and their members' experiences. To be fair, we did do
recommendations in the early days of running this site, but have intentionally moved away from
that. It's also a good reminder that we need to take those recommendations off of older posts.
Thanks for the reminder! You can read more about what we do and our philosophy behind Food
Carts Portland under our ABOUT page. "The Yellow Pages of food carts". Yes, pretty much
that's what we are, minus the advertising and hopefully more sample menus and photos. No one is
paying us to write about the carts or give them special treatment. We run this autonomously, out of
our own pockets at our own expense. We never, ever accept money, gifts, food or other special
treatment in exchange for writing about specific carts, or writing about them in specific ways.
Hope this helps clarify things a bit more. Thanks everyone for reading and continuing to make
Portland Food Carts what it is! Happy discoveries in cart land to you all and happy eating,
Dieselboi and Cuisine Bonne Femme

A quote from Nev, "BBQ fusion is easily the worst cart food – and some of the worst food overall
– I‘ve had in Portland..." Although everyone is entitled to their opinions, being the owner/operator
of BBQ Fusion, I don't know what Nev is talking about, but it is clear to me that there is
something fishy about his/her comment. Having said that, we take pride in our establishment and
the food we serve. Having been only open for two months, our level of success and number of
regular customers will attest to that. As to some of Nev's review on specific food served, here is
my version. We serve Aged Basmati Rice that is cooked fresh everyday. The beans are made
from scratch with home-made sauce. The chickens are made daily and of course kept warm in the
warmer. Our pulled pork and ribs are smoked, slow cooked and served the way they are supposed
to. Our 'Alabama White Sauce' is made from scratch. We make our own marinades and rubs. We
even make our own coleslaw dressing from sctratch (yogurt based). As you can see, everything
we do requires great care and is super time consuming. We take pride in the results. At the end,
you be the judge.

> We are not a food review site. You describe food as "good", "delicious", etc and then tell us
to "check it out". That's a positive review, even if you don't label it as one. I don't think there's
anything wrong with being a neutral Yellow Pages of carts. It's useful to know when a cart
opens/closes, what they offer, etc. But to a newcomer, it also reads like a review site. > If
people are looking for reviews in the traditional sense before they > head on out to try a
specific cart, I would suggest going to Yelp The comments on your blog are full of honest
reviews by your readers. Of course, plenty of comments I disagree with, but at times they're very
useful. > I don‘t know what Nev is talking about, but it is clear to me that > there is
something fishy about his/her comment. Why is a negative review automatically fishy? I work
with Nev. We're just two guys in the area who admittedly have high standards for street food. To
be fair, we ate at your cart before you served pork. I'm pretty sure chicken was the only option at
the time. We want to like all the food we eat, but I'm sorry, both the chicken and beans were quite
flavorless. I will come back and try your pork sometime soon. The whole pulled pork and ribs
things is a bit played out in this town, but if it's good, it's good, and I'm willing to give it a try.

Stewart, There is no value in writing a negative review of a small business and food carts are small
businesses. We have a different definition of the term review and that's fine. Let the reader
determine if they like a cart or not. For $5-6, it isn't too risky. See you at the carts.

Dieselboi and Cuisine Bonne Femme, Please be a food cart review site, and not a yellow pages of
carts. Please? Tell us what's good, and what to avoid. There are some fantastic carts out there,
and some not-so-good. There's no way to tell the difference just by walking by or looking at a
menu, and I don't have the time to sample every single cart in the city.

***New Cart*** [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="Buddha Bites"][/caption] Location:
SW 4th and Hall Description: "Hey, that's a new cart isn't it?," was the first words out of my mouth when I
walked up to the carts on SW 4th avenue by PSU. Tucked in between Thai Pasta and a cart named
Rice and Noodle was Buddha Bites, all bright and shiny and new. When I got closer, I began to see the
key words of the 21st century - organic, sustainable, farm direct, probiotic. Gotta try it. And I'm glad I
did. Just looking at the menu and the cart's banner, one can tell these
cartrepreneurs have their finger on the pulse of Portland's food culture. Offering up local organic farm
direct meats and produce, along with gluten free options seems to be what people are asking for daily
in our email box. The menu is broad, ranging from breakfast to lunch, sandwiches to soups and salads
and even fruit and veggies smoothies. As it was lunchtime, I went for the sandwich part of the menu
and picked out "Our Awesome Meatloaf." [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Our Awesome Meatloaf sandwich at Buddha Bites"][/caption] Served on their freshly made Naan bread, the meatloaf sandwich was just that, meatloaf, some
ketchup, may and then leafy greens. No iceberg lettuce here. We're talking flavorful, rich greens that
you would normally find in a salad. The freshness of the greens complemented the rich full flavor of
the meatloaf. I even thing the ketchup was special as it added just the right zing to the entire sandwich
and I don't normally use ketchup. This was a hearty meal; filling, satisfying and enjoyable. Buddha Bites is a welcome cart to the PSU pod. Also, the second cart in that
pod to be open for breakfast starting at 7:30 am. I understand they make their own scones. Mmmmm.
Don't let winter and rain keep you away from this great new cart. They have an awning you can skulk
under while you wait for your meal and if you dash across the street, you can eat in the basement of the
city building. Head on down, grab a smoothie and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Roast chicken with avocado,
tomato and cheddar served on fresh made Naan bread - $6 Our Awesome Meatloaf - with
lettuce, ketchup and mayo served on fresh made Naan bread - $5 Soy cheese, tempeh and
salmon available for substitution Twice baked Potatoes stuffed with garlic ground beef and
cheddar or broccoli and feta - $3 Beef stew bowl served with Naan - $6 Quinoa
tabouli plate w/humus, feta, olives, naan - $7 Naan with two eggs, chipotle black beans and
cheddar - $4 Cranberry almond scones (gluten free) - $2.50 Fruit and Veggie
Smoothies - $3 and much more Hours: Monday through Friday,

Kelley, You're not the only one who was surprised by the menu. When I think of anything with
Buddha in the name, it conjures up steamed veggies and such. Good food though, so I'll be back.

I was a little confused about this spot when I looked at the menu last week. Why "Buddha" if
they're selling meatloaf? Beef stew with naan and smoothies? Oooohkay. I got the veggie melt
yesterday and was happy with it. The only cheeses they offered were cheddar, feta and blue, with
grilled veggies and pesto. For some reason, I was expecting a mild white cheese. I'll go back for
the eggs and chipotle black beans. That naan hit the spot.

I think Buddha could do better than steamed veggies, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be eating
bacon! Wouldn't it be fun to see a menu with all vegan items and optional subs of meat and
cheese?

So yummy! Sorry but I don't care about the name. I care about the healthy choices, local
vegetables and quality meats--nevermind the availability of gluten-free choices. The GF tabouli
plate hit the spot! This place is one of my two top picks for the 4th and Hall Cart choices (the
other being the thai place located on Hall (not the one on 4th). Thanks

Wow! Am I ever glad that the streetcar was stalled today near PSU. Call it divine intervention--I
decided to walk to the PSU food carts instead of going to the ones downtown and boy was I
blessed to find the best GLUTEN FREE turkey sandwich ever. It had home-made, delectable
tender turkey, awesome gravy, just the right amount of cranberry sauce, lovely lettuce and on the
most out-of-this world italian herb focaccia that I've ever tasted. I didn't even know focaccia could
be made gluten free..and I double checked with the chefs, who verified it is definitely gluten free.
WOW! I couldn't stop eating the sandwich as I walked back to work. It was so full of flavor and
love. I will gladly spend 24 minutes of my 30-minute lunch break getting there and back, just to
have more of this blissful, affordable food in the future. Let me just say that I don't even feel like I
need a thanksgiving dinner now, because I am so satisfied by this food. I'm a major foodie and
I'm pretty picky about chai--their chai was incredible too! And they even offered almond milk as a
dairy-free creamer. I'd like to think the Buddha theme relates to the purpose of Buddhism... bliss,
consciousness and an empirical approach to our psyches. In other words, eating here is a sure bet
at experiencing a healthful, happy and satisfied state of being. Thank you Buddha Bites! I think
you've just inspired me to become a food writer!

Love the food, but I thought it a bit pricey for what you get. Other carts such as the Portland Soup
Company give a little bigger portions for the price. A small bowl of chilli and bread was $7 - a
little much.

align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="Ninja Plate Lunch"][/caption] Location:
SW 3rd and Ash Description: I was out late the other night and happened upon the newest cart in the SW 3rd
and Ash pod - Ninja Plate Lunch. They were celebrating their first late night weekend. I had just
munched on a taco from a different late night stand, so was too full to indulge. I'm glad I didn't eat that
night because yesterday, I ventured down and enjoyed a great lunch at Ninja Plate. The owners, Kahala and Kat, told me their goal is to provide large portions of tasty
traditional Hawaiian food for a low price. In looking at the menu, there is nothing there over $5. In this
day and age, $5 is a great price for lunch. When they said large portions, I wasn't sure what that meant
until I saw Kat place two scoops of rice and a generous scoop of potato/macaroni salad on a plate then
pass it over for the Kahlua pig. I had ordered the pig which turned out to be a large portion of pulled
pork shoulder that had been marinated, then cooked and pulled apart before serving. The plate I
received could feed two people easy. [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="240" caption="Kahlua Pork"][/caption] When I sat down to enjoy this meal, I first just stared at it.
What a generous amount of food. I first picked at the pork which was soft, juicy and very flavorful.
Then the rice which was sticky and a perfect match to go with the slightly salty pork. Lastly, I dove
into the potato/macaroni salad...and never looked back. I'm used to the type of macaroni salad that after
a couple of bites, you realize you have eaten your daily intake of mayo. Not so in this case. Mixed in
salad were chucks of potato, carrot, and peas. No excess mayo here. The pork was the highlight of the
entire meal. No extra sauce or salt or any type of seasoning was needed. It stood on its own as a perfect
presentation of this type of dish. I did my best to finish the meal, and almost did. So good. I only left a
little rice. Oh and to top it all off, you get a Dum Dum sucker with every meal. Ninja Plate Lunch opened just a week ago and are still working out a finalized menu. What I list
below is what was offered that day. It may change, but I bet it will only change for the better. Kat and
Kahala are a couple of nice friendly cartrepreneuers, so you should go say hi. Oh and check them out
late night if you in Old Town for a show or just out causing trouble. Tell them Food Carts Portland
sent ya. Sample Menu: Shoyu
Chicken - $5 Kahlua Pig - $5 Hamburger steak - $5 Loco Moco - rice
with hamburger patty on top covered with egg and brown gravy - $5 Chicken Curry - $5
Tofu Curry - $5 all plates come with 2 scoops of rice and 1 scoop of potato/mac
salad Spam Masubi - $2 Hours: Monday through Saturday,

Kalua pig is supposed to be salty. My only complaint is that it was too dry in parts. My friend got
the shoyu chicken and had the same complaint. Sadly, the rice wasn't cooked properly. The grains
were sticky on the outside and still hard on the inside. This is a common mistake, but should be
easy to correct. The macaroni salad was passable, but I'm a big fan of fresh ground black pepper
in Hawaiian mac salad (mixed into the dressing before it's added to the macaroni). It doesn't make
it spicy; it just makes it more mouthwatering. I'll try this cart again in a few weeks and see how
it's going.

We hit up Ninja Plate Lunch today for lunch and were -- sadly -- disappointed. The shoyu chicken
was nicely seasoned and certainly edible, but the texture was off, a little too mealy, like it'd been
sitting in a chafing dish for far too long. The rice was terrible: grainy and crunchy in some places,
gummy and clumpy in others. The kahlua pig was overly salty. Macaroni salad is a personal
preference, but I found the grated carrots and overall lack of flavor to be unpleasant. A little salt
and a lot of pepper would do wonders. The peas are a nice touch, actually. The ideas are good,
and the flavor of the shoyu chicken tells me that someone here knows what they're doing. I'm
hoping a few process tweaks will improve the flavor and texture of the food. Maybe it's just the
adjustment to serving food out of a cart? Please?

i went here last night and ordered the kalua pig. it was ok. not the best, and there were huge hunks
of grissly fat in mixed in with the meat so you have to be careful when you take a bite or you
could be getting a bite of not so delicious jellyfied fat. my husband ordered the spam musubi
which was ok as well, nothing special. i don't think they even marinated the spam in anything.
from reading some of the comments on here i was expecting super good food, but wasn't too
impressed. maybe that's b/c i'm spoiled from living in hawaii and getting the real deal.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="The Fried
Onion"][/caption] Location:
NW Raleigh between 22nd and 23rd avenues Description: A few weeks ago, when I
visited The Fried Onion's neighbor The Frying Scotsman, I had the opportunity at the end of my meal
to meat John, the owner of the 'Onion. I commented on his choice of baseball team with a hearty "Go
Yankees" and that got us talking. While telling me about his cart, a traditional hot dog cart, he
espoused a true history of hot dogs from the east coast. We chatted about Sabrett's, Viennas, Nathans
and finally his favorite, Red Hot Chicago. He won't admit it, but to me, John is a hot dog historian. I
have never learned more about hot dogs history anywhere. So fun since I fancy myself a historian. Oh,
and they make a great dog! The Fried Onion has been around Portland
now for awhile, having moved to NW 22nd only in the recent past from what I understand. They bill
themselves as great Chicago dogs with a New York twist. The owner wore a New York Yankees cap,
yet the menu listed the Red Hot Chicago as their dog of choice. "Red Hot" is just the name of the beef
dog, ala "get your red hots, get your red hot dogs" like at a baseball game. These aren't spicy dogs, but
they are tasty. As stated, The Fried Onion tried out numerous brands of nationally known dogs before
they decided on the Red Hot Chicago. This tells me they are true to their trade. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="180" caption="Red Hot Chicago"][/caption] I chose to get my dog dressed with fried onions and
sauerkraut. John split the dog down the middle and put it on the grill. He stated that isn't his normal
practice, but I love it when the dog is prepped that way. When deciding on mustard, I took his
recommendation and chose the nondescript non labeled spicy German mustard. Excellent. The dog
was great. The bun stayed together throughout the whole meal (a big deal for me) and the dog had a
little kick to it from the added onions and sauerkraut. Overall, a great well rounded hot dog from a
great couple. The Fried Onion does sell sausages and he has chosen local Fetzer as his vendor. There
are only a few major vendors in town for that, so if you haven't tried a Fetzer, this is the place to find
one. John and his wife Marci are a great couple of people to chat up during lunch. Ask them about the
dogs and you'll get some great stories. One of the reasons I love the food carts - personal service and
interaction with the owners. Head on down and say hi. Oh, and if you're a Red Sox fan, be prepared to
pay extra... Tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Red
Hot Chicago: naked or with dressings, 100% beef - $4-$5.25 Fetzer's Brat, spicy or beer:
naked or with dressings - $4.75-$5 Burger: naked or dressed - $4.50-$4.75
Dressings include fried onions, sauerkraut, chili and cheese Red Sox fans surcharge of

Brian, Thank you for your interest and your question. We do have a vegetarian option. We
make a bun with mushrooms, peppers and onion (Fried, raw or both) and your choice of cheese
and you can always add sauerkraut. That comes on a Portland French bakery soft French bun. We
have vegetarian customers who enjoy this option. At this time though we do not have a meat
substitute. Thanks again for the question and please stop by and try our vegetarian bun and have a
cookie on us.

[caption id="attachment_1486" align="alignright" width="126" caption="Bill Walton, Portland Trail
Blazer"][/caption] Mississippi Marketplace up in North
Portland will celebrate their grand opening in style with the guest appearance by former Portland Trailblazer Bill Walton.
Bill Walton was a basketball king in the
late 70's when he led the Blazers to a national championship against the Philadelphia 76ers in 1977. I
remember going to the airport that year to welcome the Blazers home and being so amazed at how tall
they were. Such memories. Roger Goldingay, the owner of Mississippi Marketplace has a gem on
his hand. All of the carts are in place including Nuevo Mexico, Southwestern Pizza, The Sugarcube,
The Ruby Dragon, Native Bowl, Patty's Wagon, The Big Egg, Sushi Tree and Dogfeathers. The lot has
seen a ton of activity of late with a produce market last weekend and now the grand opening. I'm not
sure if Prost!, the German Tavern in the lot will open - one can only hope. I will say the carts are busy
- there is always a crowd when we wander by. Come on down on Saturday between 1-6pm and say hi
to a Portland sports legend and welcome the carts to the neighborhood. Also, take in some of the fine
food that they have to offer. TriMet's #4 will drop you off in front and Yellow Line MAX's Prescott
stop is just a few blocks away across I5.

Ever wonder what would happen when you take an item from one food cart and let another food cart
"mash it up!" Well, my good friend Justin (@Nerdliness on Twitter) decided today was the day he would take a traditional
meal and make it crazy delicious. Justin visited the brofamous Bro-Dogs and on SW 5th and
Stark and picked up a double dog which is two Sabretts on a bagel roll. Doesn't it look tasty? I see he
chose to add cheese to the dogs for added measure. [caption id="attachment_1499"
align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Double Dog by Bro Dogs courtesy of eljustino on
Flickr"][/caption] If the above just wasn't enough, a
short walk down 5th took Justin to SideCart, where you can get anything edible deep fried for about $3. And that is
what he did: [caption id="attachment_1500" align="aligncenter" width="225" caption="Deep Fried
Double Dog from Bro-Dogs and SideCart. Photo courtesy of elJustino on Flickr"][/caption]
When I saw this mashup on Flickr, my heart skipped a beat. I want it so bad, but I also know it may
slowly kill me. Justin had a few comments for those of you who want to indulge: 1. Get
a plate, knife, and fork. It's even messier than you think. 2. Get some condiments on the side. Was a
bit dry (despite all the grease that was pouring out). 3. GET EXTRA NAPKINS. Think you have
enough? Grab more. 4. Shave before eating. I love the imagination that went into this. I
have heard others who have taken chocolate cake and a Voodoo donut to SideCart but another food
cart meal? The possibilities are endless. Maybe a Whiffies pie, Parkers Waffle sandwich, or a
Schnitzelwich deep fried. The list goes on. This adventure makes me wonder. What other food cart
mashups are there? Do you mixed it up, getting a couple of items from different carts to round out a
meal? If so, tell me more. Thanks to Justin for the great photos and the story and to @Ahockley for
giving Justin the idea in the first place. Check out Bro-Dogs and SideCart on SW 5th and Stark. Tell
them Food Carts Portland sent ya. INSERT_MAP

Are you sure it would *slowly* kill you? Seems close to an edible cyanide capsule, potentially. . .
Seems like it wouldn't be much of a stretch to get a burrito from any local cart deep-fried. Call it
the Bombrrito. . .

I've eaten many different things together from the various carts at the Hawthorne and 12th pod -
french fries from Potato Champion with fried tofu from the BBQ cart and a burrito from the
Mexican cart. Top it all off with a pie from Whiffies and you're set.

I always have the grand idea of "cart hopping" when friends or family visit town, but I'm always
(over-)full after the first one.

***New Cart*** Location: 3441 N. Vancouver Avenue (corner of N.
Vancouver and Fremont) Description: Indian food cooked the South African way,
with a home style touch cooked by a real "Mum" and daughter team. What's that you say? South African Indian
food? Who has ever heard of such a thing? Well, millions of lucky South Africans that's who, and
now a few luckily Portlanders as well. South African Indian food highlights the vast nuances and
regionalisms of Indian cuisine overall, and illustrates how cultures and immigration patterns adapt and
adopt foods from all over the world. With a sizable Indian population in South Africa, this particular
regional cuisine combines things like Indian curry seasonings with indigenous African dishes, as well
as European influences. The results are delightful. [caption id="attachment_1509" align="alignright"
width="224" caption="A little sample of Mum's Cuisine"][/caption] Mum's is doing
something a bit different than other Indian carts around town, but some familiar favorites do appear.
The potato and pea stuffed Samosas at Mum's are small crispy triangles, rice Briyani dishes are nicely
seasoned and fresh, and the Mulligatawny soup is a classic warming Anglo-Indian favorite. Yet, even
the curries are spiced just a little differently at Mum's than at other Indian carts around town, or even
restaurants for that matter. Then there is Samp. "It's an African dish", the nice
owner (Mum herself) explained. I Googled Samp, and I researched it in one of my many
food reference books, and I researched some more. Besides this article, I could only find the most basic of information on this African
dish, and no background information at all on the South African/Indian version. No matter, the Samp
at Mum's tastes wonderful and that's all that matters, really. Described on the Mum's menu as, "Corn
Kernels (Mealies), Pinto Beans and Curried Chicken Braised and Simmered together," it's really more
like a wonderful bright curry with hominy corn and not what Americans might considered "corn
kernels." It is however $8.50 per order, which might turn some bargain cart eaters off, but do give it a
chance. The portion is huge - enough to easily feed two. This isn't your standard greasy bomb "curry in
a hurry" cart food either. Food here is made with a lighter and fresher touch. [caption
id="attachment_1510" align="alignleft" width="224" caption="A dish of Samp"][/caption]
This cart is also very accommodating, and is both vegetarian and vegan friendly. The owners are
always more than happy to answer any questions about their food, make special requests when feasible
and they love to provide samples to first timers. The Roti rolls are another menu item that I truly hope
becomes a Portland favorite. It's really the equivalent of an Indian Burrito. Curried vegetables, chicken,
or spicy garlic pork and cabbage come rolled (3 to an order), in Roti flatbread. Filling, and easy to
transport and eat on the go. That said, there are a few things I wish this cart had to make
the dining experience better. First off, although the cart is located under a large covered area there is
only a small patio bench for seating. This makes balancing a large container of semi-liquid Samp or
curry on one's lap a feat of human dexterity in eating. Tables and chairs are definitely needed here and
would work well under the large covered awning. I'd also like to see a combo plate. I know, I know
every other Indian place has one and Mum's is doing something different. But I want to sample all the
good things at once! Even a Briyani/Vegetable curry or Samp combo would be a perfect beans, rice,
corn and vegetable meal in proteins, textures and tastes. [caption id="attachment_1511"
align="alignright" width="300" caption="pea and potato stuffed Samosas, and what's left of my
Roti rolls"][/caption] Otherwise,
this cart is a very nice addition to the Portland cart scene, and especially good for those who commute
through North and NE Portland. Open early in the mid-morning until 6:30 PM Tuesday through
Sunday, this cart would make a nice place to pick up dinner on the way home from work. Portland
needs more dinner carts! I look forward to seeing how Mum's progresses over the next few months
and what other menu items they come up with. Sample Menu: Appetizer 6 Potato Samoosas (their spelling)-Triangular Pastries

I was in that part of town and remembered the review, so I stopped by. Mum was very friendly
and cooked me up samples so I could decide what I wanted. The roti was something I've heard of
but never tried, and it was excellent. Mum also gave me a sample samosa with my order.

SO GOOD! I love her samosas. The Roti with pork and cabbage is also a winner. Just don't call
this Indian food because it is not. It is South African Indian food-and Mum will make sure that
you understand that. Go here now, you will love it. The food is amazing, Mum is wonderful, and
the prices are affordable for everyone. Can't give her enough raves!

Just finished my dinner of spicy garlic pork and cabbage, and it was incredible. Right when I
arrived, Mum insisted on making me a plate of four samples, all were very tasty. I decided on the
pork, but it was a tough call, and I can't wait to go back and order the chicken briyani. Mum is a
lovely person with a warm demeanor and speaking with her as she prepared my meal was an
unexpected bonus to my experience. Dinners come with perfectly cooked fluffy basmati rice and a
pickled carrot salad that is just exquisite. The shredded carrots are sprinkled with tiny wheels of
sliced chiles --- delectable.

***New Cart*** [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Beez Neez"][/caption] Location: SW 3rd and
Oak Description: There seem to be a ton of new hot dog and sausage carts cropping up of late. Historically, hot
dog and sausage vendors were the only food carts in town. Here in Portland, other cuisines and carts
have outnumbered them now for awhile, but the tenacious hot dog vendors are back and offering some
tasty new options. Beez Neez is the newest cart to join us in Portland, offering their Reindeer sausage,
straight from Alaska. I visited Beez Neez earlier in the week to talk
with the owner Bryan and try one of the reindeer sausages. Bryan had recently moved here from
Alaska via Seattle and brought some of his Alaska with him. The reindeer sausages are indeed from
Alaska as we don't have too many reindeer around here. Bryan described the taste as not being gamey
as the reindeer is mixed with beef to create a traditional hot dog. I decided on the spicy version of the
dog and added some caramelized onions, sweet relish and spicy brown mustard. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="240" caption="Reindeer sausage from
Beez Neez"][/caption] Bryan splits the dogs on the grill which is my new favorite way of enjoying both hot dogs
and sausages. I like it because some dogs get too juicy inside and upon that first bite, your upper lip is
burned with the hot boiling juices. The sausage itself was just the right spice. It had some kick, you
could taste that it wasn't an all beef dog and there was something different there. The addition of the
onions and mustard made the lunch. Another great dog in the city of Portland. Beez Neez does sell other dogs and sausages, so if reindeer isn't your forte, there are other
choices. As I was condimenting my dog, a businesswoman arived to order a brat, relaying a story of
travelling through Germany and eating brats every day. Ahh, brats every day...makes your mouth
water. Bryan at Beez Neez will offer you a sample of the sausage if you ask. If you get down there, tell
them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample
Menu: Alaska Reindeer Sausage - mild or spicy - $4.75 Louisiana
Hot Link - $4.25 German Bratwurst - $4.75 Foot long kosher beef dog - $3.75
Foot long kosher polish dog - $3.75 add cream cheese and bacon to any dog - 75c

cute logo to go with it. Dogfeathers serves up organic coffee, both drip
and espresso along with fresh fruit juices. They open at 6am for you early risers and will get you a cup
of Joe for $1. How can you beat that? Along with all the great new
carts at Mississippi Marketplace, its great to have a good solid coffee cart. Head on down there for a
cup and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Hours:

Organic is not a gimmick, it's a coffee bean grown without pesticides. Pesticides make people
sick. Organic coffee beans are good for the workers who pick or coffee beans. Until someone
grows organic beans in Portland they all have a carbon footprint. If Stumptown is the only coffee
you like, then ask if they serve it, and if they don't go down the block...not necessary to put down
someone who doesn't serve the coffee you prefer.

Let me just say that I take coffee seriously; and perhaps I shouldn't place Dogfeather's in the same
realm as specialty coffee, but the organic selling point makes it seem like he's trying to make it
specialty by that alone. Call it coffee greenwashing. Just demand better for your money. That's all
I'm saying. Why would anyone want to pay the same price for something that isn't as good, local,
and sustainable as something that is? Consider, for a moment, Fresh Pot down the street. They sell
some of the best coffee in the world (Stumptown) that is almost all sourced from farmers who are
getting paid well for their part in the coffee supply chain. Some of us (okay, maybe it's just me)
are actually dedicating a significant chunk of time to convincing people that it's worthwhile to
demand fantastic coffee and make specialty coffee a norm for the city. Not just to be elitist, but to
make sure that drinking coffee is something that is a quality, enjoyable experience that is firmly
rooted in ethical sourcing and marketing. [And scene].

Would it be mean for me to say that Dogfeather's is everything that's wrong with the coffee
industry save for the owner probably being a super nice guy? Organic coffee is a gimmick. It
doesn't make it good coffee, regardless of how little it harms the environment. And to sell coffee
on the whim of peace and love and happy organic daydreams is kinda pathetic. I don't want to
wish any ill upon Dogfeather's, but this town can do way the hell better. Can you imagine visiting
the coffee capital of the U.S. and having Dogfeather's represent us? I say do it right or don't do it
at all.

Yes, Microfoam, that is pretty mean to take out your frustrations about the term organic on a small
working class food cart. That discussion may be better for a blog about Stumptown or Starbucks. I
had a cup of their $1 coffee and trust me, it was better than the swill they sell down at The
Overlook by tenfold.

Not loving the snarky comments. What purpose do they serve anyone? None. There's respectful
commentary and critique of the taste or service, and then there's snark. "And to sell coffee on the
whim of peace and love and happy organic daydreams is kinda pathetic". Ripping on a small just
opened and independently owned business because you don't like their concept is uncalled for,
rude and, out of line - in other words, kinda pathetic.

I don't agree with the way he said it, but Microfoam has a micro-point. The whole organic thing
can indeed be misleading, especially with a product like coffee that, even when organic, still has to
be shipped halfway around the world. Just saying... organic coffee probably isn't going to save the
world... but the word will attract people to this cart. It's good marketing more than anything else.
But hey, I will not pass judgment on the quality until I try it. And try it, I shall.

Can appreciate your passion Microfoam, and your much more detailed, and dare I say rational
explanation here of where you are coming from on the whole local-organic-sustainable-good
coffee debate. Honestly, I would go talk to the owners if you feel this strongly and suggest helping
them find and hone their craft as you are doing. Portland is the epicenter for some of the best
coffee and specialty espresso drinks in North America right now and so coffee businesses might
be wise to take advantage of all the knowledge floating around out there. I haven't tried
Dogfeather's yet, so I can't comment on it one way or another. (Caveat, I know Microfoam in the
real world, and yes, he does know good coffee, and yes, he's very passionate about it).

Perhaps someone should start their own awesome espresso/coffee cart, that embodies the high
standards Portland has for coffee. Spella is a great example of this...the NE could benefit,
especially for late night hours. As for Dogfeather's inform them if there is a quality issue.
Feedback is way more helpful and supportive of a small, local business. We all have room to
grow:)

I've tried Dogfeathers twice now, and both times were disappointing. The first time was regular
coffee from the pot, and in all fairness, it was late in the day. The second time I got a mocha--it
was tepid and the the coffee was bitter. The owners seem like really nice people, and I'd like to see
them make it, but they will have to step up their game with Coffeehouse 5, the Albina Press and
the Fresh Pot all within easy striking distance.

when I heard them talking about it with regular customers, but haven't been down to Cartopia
since to see if it is there or not. D

I just stopped by Fuego de Lotus on Alberta tonight. I only had a few bucks in my pocket, so I
only ordered the "Street Stew" (chicken tortilla soup). The owner was great and even gave us a
complimentary vegan dulce-de-leche hand pie. Delicious!!! This place definitely warrants a full
review, and I will be back for more.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="245" caption="Las Cazuelas"][/caption] Location: NE 14th and Alberta
Description: Saturday, after some wonderful estate sales on the east side of
Portland, we were on our way back home with the siren song of food cart lunch pulled us up to NE
Alberta. Some of the carts were closed or very crowded, so we continued west when we saw this new
taqueria and thought we would give it a try. Las Cazuelas was a great choice for a sunny autumn
Saturday. A traditional Mexcian taqueria, Las Cazuelas serves up tacos, burritos, totas, nachos,
enchiladas and nachos. A young very polite boy took our order and even brought us our food when it
was finished. Love that kind of service. I ordered one each of a carnitas, pastor and asada tacos while
my wife ordered up the vegetarian burrito. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="240"
caption="Tacos from Las Cazuelas"][/caption] The tacos were great. For $1 each, they were
some of the better tacos I have had from the food trucks and I've been to many. Both the pastor and
carnitas were just the right flavor, spice and tenderness to make your mouth water and the asada top
notch. For $1, I was kicking myself for not getting more, but these three sated me perfectly. With a
little diced onion and cilantro thrown in, you didn't need the hot sauce to add flavor, the tacos spoke for
themselves. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="180" caption="Vegitarian Burrito from Las
Cazuelas Taqueria"][/caption] I
didn't try a bite of the vegetarian burrito, but I understand it was excellent. A mixture of tomato, corn,
peppers, onions, carrots, beans and rice, I kept hearing great comments about it from the eater who is a
burrito aficionado. Las Cazuelas is located on NE Alberta St. between 14th and 15th tucked away next
to an auto repair shop. Great Mexican food for a great price. Check 'em out next time you're up that
way and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Tacos -
Asada; Pastor; Pollo or Carnitas - $1 Burritos - Asada; Pastor; Pollo or Carnitas - $4
Tortas - Asada; Pastor; Pollo or Carnitas - $5 Vegetarian Burrito or Tamale - $4

***New Cart*** [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="Ali Baba's"][/caption] Location: SW 10th and
Alder St. Description: The pod at SW 10th and Alder st. keeps growing, eventhough a long time cart like Asian Station
has closed and is now for sale. Two spots up 10th sees the arrival of Ali Baba's Turkish kitchen. I
decided to stop by this week and see what they had to offer. The my
first impression was one of kindness. The owner welcomed me warmly, called me friend and engaged
with me as if we had known each other for awhile. When I have an experience like that I know the
person is passionate about what they are about to serve me and feel I'm in for a treat. Ali Baba's offers
up kofte and grilled chicken both in the form of sandwiches or salads or over rice. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="240" caption="Kofte Sandwich"][/caption] I chose the kofte sandwich
with sliced tomatoes, onion, shephard's salad and cacik. Kofte is a traditional lamb and herb meatball
usually made on a kebab. Ali Baba's has them as meatballs and lays them on the vegetables in the
sandwich. They are the perfect size. The sandwich may appear small. The day I arrived, they were still
working out a sourcing issue, so had received smaller buns. The sandwich was perfect for me, but is
normally larger. I got it for $5 instead of the listed price of $6.50.
[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="180" caption="Turkish Coffee from Ali Baba's"][/caption] While my meal was being prepared, I noticed
a small green post-it stating that Turkish coffee is offered after 1pm. It was only noon, so I had to wait
or return. I indeed returned the next day and enjoyed an excellent Turkish coffee with the perfect
amount of sugar. I was sufficiently awake the remainder of the day. I love the thickness and sweetness
of the coffee. Ali Baba's may become my new afternoon go to coffee spot. Ali Baba's is open from lunch through dinner throughout the week in case you have an odd
schedule and can't get to the carts during their normal lunch hours. They serve the Turkish coffee made
fresh after 1pm and also offer up baklava and kadifi for you sweettooths. If you go, tell them Food
Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu:
Kofte on rice with shephard's salad and cacik - $6.50 Kofte sandwich with sliced
tomatoes, onion, shephard's salad and cacik - $6.50 Kofte on romaine with shephard's salad
and cacik - $6.50 Grilled chicken on rice with shephard's salad and cacik - $6.50
Baklava - 2pc for $3 Kadaifi with kaymak - $3 Turkish coffee - $2.50
Hours: Monday through Friday, 11am-8pm (or earlier if not busy)

The Doner Kebab place on the 4th is a tasty place, but their doner kebab is nothing like a real
doner kebab. It is made with turkey and does not taste like doner kebab (though it is sufficiently
tasty). Cuisine Bonne Femme - sometimes places in Turkey would serve with the fries stuffed
inside, but I suspect this is to save on the meat and still make it look full. I think that is a more
recent way of doing it - about 20 years ago, there were far fewer places doing that, 15 years ago,
many more and now many more putting the fries with the doner kebab.

baklava since I already had lunch. But it was really fresh, great with the kaymak. Looking forward
to going back soon!

Turkish style Kebab (which is ubiquitous in Germany and other parts of Europe), pretty much kept
me alive when I was a broke ass writer in Paris a few years ago. Living the dream - eating the
Kebob. I bet Hemingway or Orwell would have done the same if they had the chance In Paris
however, the vendors serve Kebob with french fries (frites as they are obviously called there)
covered with sauce and then stuffed inside the sandwich alongside the meat. Really, really
addicting and I wish a cart was doing something similar in Portland. This cart does sound good
though...

EV: I'm not sure what you're talking about but the place on 4th tastes comparable to the döners I
had all over germany. Maybe you didn't know this but turkey is a common meat used for döners in
germany, for the simple reason that turkey is cheaper and healthier then lamb.

See, this is the thing: Kebab is so regional! In Paris, where I first had it it is never called Doner
Kebab, just Kebab and yes, it comes stuffed with frites (French Fries). I don't care if it is authentic
Turkish, or not, served with turkey meat in Germany or what. Kebob in almost all its forms is just
unbelievably good at 2 in the morning after a night of drinking too much - whatever country or
city one is in. Since Portlanders love their beer and imbibing and staying out late I bet Kebob
with fries would be quite popular here.

Love the Kebab conversation happening here. So true it varies with each country what the meats
consist of and their taste. If you ask a Turk about the Doner Kebab made with Turkey, they will
say "nope" that's not it. And if you taste the real Turkish version of the Doner meat, you might
possibly feel the same. You will be amazed at the flavor that Ali has created in his Kofte Kebab.
He has made sure its true to the Turkish culture and tradition. He takes great pride in his food, and
he's excited to bring more options in the near future. But for now, try the Kofte, you won't be
disappointed. From one admiring fan.

***New Cart*** [caption id=""
align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Southwestern Pizza Company"][/caption] Location:
N Mississippi and Skidmore as part of Mississippi Marketplace Description: This past week, at the grand
opening of PROST!, a German pub that anchors the Mississippi Marketplace compound, we started to
get a little hungry for something different. The pub did have menu items, but we wanted to take
advantage of the entire lot and eat food from a cart while drinking beer from the pub. I walked over to
Southwestern Pizza and our wish came true. Southwestern Pizza is a
pizza cart, but they serve up their pizzas on freshly baked 8" tortillas instead of the traditional dough
we are all familiar with. The end result is a very thin, but crunchy crust topped with whatever fixin's
you have chosen. We chose to get one each of the Stagecoach (pepperoni & Italian sausage with
homemade tomato sauce) and the Tumbleweed (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, with
homemade tomato sauce.) It only took a few minute for them to make the pizza while we continued to
enjoy our beer. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="180"
caption="Beer and Southwestern Pizza"][/caption] The pizza was
enjoyable. Different than what we were use to, but still pizza. Large chunks of sausage and thick slices
of pepperoni on one and the fresh bell peppers and mushrooms on the other kept us eating until it all
we had were empty plates. For $5 each, it is a perfect size meal for one person. Southwestern Pizza Company is open morning until night. They offer a breakfast pizza to
start your day and soon plan to offer up pasta dishes. Next time you are up in the area, grab a beer at
PROST! and some pizza while you enjoy it and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Breakfast pizza - butter, egg,
ham, bacon or sausage and four cheeses - $4 Vegan - red bell pepper, sweet onions,
tomatoes, mushrooms, soy cheese - $7 Sagebrush - chunky Italian sausage with alfredo sauce
- $4.50 Stagecoach - pepperoni and Italian sausage with homemade tomato sauce - $5
Tumbleweed - bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes with homemade tomato sauce -
$5.50 Hours: Wednesday - Saturday, 11:30am - 7pm; Sunday 12-6pm

the Pesto Asparagus. Toppings are piled on!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Spella Caffe"][/caption] Location: SW 9th and Alder
Description: Spella Cafe is considered one of the best espresso carts in the city.
Spella has been noted in numerous publications for the quality of their roast and artisanship of the
preparation. I have been to Spella many times over the past few years - mostly to enjoy a quick doppio
or maybe an Americano. When the draw is that good, I just don't want to change it up with milk or
sugar. Straight up espresso for me people. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="160"
caption="Espresso @ Spella Caffe"][/caption] Andrea and Amanda of Spella are great people. They
welcome you with a smile and ask about your day. Just what you want on a cold rainy Portland
morning. The magic of Spella is from Andrea Spella's history with coffee. Andrea Spella roasts his
own coffee once a week - enough for his flagship cart, some retail accounts and to sell to customers.
There is no stale coffee beans in this joint. The mix of fresh roasted beans and the attention to detail
when pulling the espresso makes for a perfect shot with just the right amount of crema. Andrea Spella
is expanding. In the coming month, they will open up an indoor space down on SW 5th and Alder.
That is a great food cart success story. Spella coffee does offer up all types of coffee drinks and gelato
in the warmer months, so head on down there, have a great coffee and tell them Food Carts Portland
sent ya. [This post was updated in October of 2009. If you would like to read more about Spella,
Portland Food and Drink has a wonderful article and interview with Andrea Spella - Read More Here] Sample
Menu: Espresso - $1.75 Macchiato - $2 Cappuccino - 8oz:

I think it's a cute cart, and nicely situated.

I'm a coffee connoisseur and have lived in Portland all my life. I used to mail order my coffee
from a cafe in Seattle, but Spella's coffee and beans are by far the best I have experienced.

Alright, that does it. I gotta go try this cart out now!! I've walked by a million times and just
haven't gotten around to ordering up a capucino or even just a straight espresso of theirs. That will
change this coming week!

Andrea has been quietly serving fantastic Italian style coffee for quite some time. I have never
been disappointed by his espresso and find his affogatos, especially with the hazelnut gelato,
downright irresistible. Cheers!

One thing I encourage people to try at Spella is the Shakerato Latte or my favorite - the Shakerato
Espresso. Nicely poured espresso shots, with a little bit of I think it is Demerara sugar, then
shaken over ice and poured into a 6 oz glass. Even without milk, it tastes creamy and caramel like.
Really wonderful.

Mediterranean Meals"][/caption] Location:
SW 10th and Alder (on Alder) Description: Up of SW 10th avenue, years
before the most recent food carts arrived, Ugarit has been serving up gyro and falafel to Portland's
lunch crowd. Specializing in Mediterranean food, Mohammad, the owner, greets you with a smile and
sometimes a sample of his daily soup. That is what occurred last week when I visited. I arrived and
was checking out the menu when I realized I didn't have any cash. Before I could walk away to find a
bank machine, Mohammad handed me a sample of the Red Lentil soup he was offering. That little bit
of soup was amazing and quicken my pace to and from the ATM. Ugarit get the name an independent kingdom from 18th century BC in what is now Syria. The
people of Ugarit were perhaps the first to recognize that human speech consists of only a finite number
of atomic sounds. They devised 30 symbols from which the alphabets of all phonetic languages are
derived. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="240"
caption="Super Halal Lamb Gyro"][/caption] Ugarit offers up salads, appetizers, sandwiches,
main dishes and even deserts and coffee. The menu is rather large, but there are handy pictures if you
are unsure of which meal you really love, but don't remember the name. I'm a sucker for gyro and
when I saw they offered up a lamb gyro, I couldn't resist. The Super Halal Lamb Gryo comes with
strips of lamb served with hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, tzatziki in a rolled pita. I was offered
up hot sauce and decided to partake. The gyro was great. The lamb was tender, the hummus garlicky,
the tzatziki sufficiently creamy. Even though it was messy with the innards spilling out at the bottom, I
ate every bite. Ugarit is one of the old guard of food carts here in Portland.
If you are looking for something different and want a tried and true meal that Portland has been eating
for years, give Ugarit a chance and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Greek Salad - lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers,
feta cheese, black olives, lemon juice, olive oil and home vinegar - $5.50 Tabouli - Arabic
parsley with bulghur, tomatoes, green onions, mint, lemon juice and olive oil - $3 Super
Falafel - deep-fried garbanzo bean patties served with hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and tahini
sauce in a rolled pita - $5.50 Super Halal Lamb Gyro - strips of lamb with hummus, lettuce,
tomatoes, cucumber and tzatziki in a rolled pita - $6 Super Baba Ghanouj sandwich - roasted
eggplant puree served with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber in a rolled pita - $4.50 Hummus
plate - garbanzo been puree with tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil, served with tomatoes,
cucumber and pita - $6.50 Mezza plate (choose 3) - hummus, falafel, tabouli, dolmeh, baba
ghanouj, tzatziki, served with pita - $6.50 Bakhlava - sweet confection of walnuts, cinnamon,

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Che'
Cafe"][/caption] Location: N Williams at
Shaver st. Description: North Williams street has become a new nexus of activity in North Portland. With in the influx
of restaurants, salons, a dessert place and a brewery, it was only a matter of time before a food cart
opened. And where it opened is important. The space where Che Cafe is located is right next to a 1935
building where you have indoor seating. The development, by the developer of Portland's most green
building - The Heritage on NE MLK - is perfect for Portland's unpredictable weather. Che Cafe is Ryan and Terri's dream. Both love dogs, simple as that. Why talk
about dogs? Well, throughout the years, Ryan and Terri have had four amazing dogs - Nikai, a husky
who was active and free spirited; Che', a large Princess Shepard who loved to lounge; Riley, a senior
Shepard mix who appeared to have "doggy Alzheimers," but was happy and kind; and then Sadie, a
senior border collie mix who was very attached, loving and affectionate. All of these dogs had an
impact on Ryan and Terry and they want Che' Cafe to provide neighbors the same love and devotion
those dogs showed them throughout the years. [caption id=""
align="alignright" width="162" caption="Pulled Pork from Che' Cafe"][/caption] I visited Che' Cafe with some fellow food cart
enthusiasts. We were all ready for the weekend and indulged in our personal weaknesses. A couple of
pulled pork sandwiches over here, a burger over there and even a black bean burger for the vegetarian
of the group. Each of the dishes came with crunchy fries and homemade ketchup. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="162" caption="Bubby Burger from Che'
Cafe"][/caption] I
enjoyed the half pound Bubby Burger. A monster of a burger, it came with crispy fried onions and
cheddar cheese. The burger is exactly what I was craving and it was cooked just right. The seasoning
was spot on - you could tell this was good ground beef mixed with spices and made into a patty by
hand. The crispy fried onions were an added bonus. The added bonus
to this cart is the building next door. They offer up indoor seating for those wet and rainy days or even
for those who don't want to take their food and go. Inside the 1935 redeveloped building is a coffee
cart and restrooms, along with a performance space called the Analog Lounge (i.e. no cell phones or
laptops.) When you get over to North Williams and you see this bright red cart named Che' Cafe, stop
on by, have some great American food and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Creamy Tomato Basil Soup with grilled
cheese sandwich - $6 Mr. Riley's Sake Mac & Cheese - macaroni tossed with 3 cheese
sake sauce, topped with fried onions and served with garlic bread - $6 Caprese Capellini -
capellini tossed with garlic tomato oil, fresh tomatoes and basil topped with fresh Parmesan and served
with garlic bread - $7 Fu fries - tofu lengths fried to a crisp and served with sweet and spicy
sauce - $5 Pulled Pork Sandwich - dry rubbed pork cooked til it falls apart sauce with
homemade BBQ sauce on an onion bun - $7 Meatloaf sandwich - homemade meatloaf
smothered with sharp cheddar cheese - $8 Half Pound Bubby Burger - burger topped with
aioli served on onion bun with all the fixins - $7 Hours: Monday through
Saturday, 11am - 7pm Phone: 503 477 0322 Twitter: CheCafePDX Other:
Che Cafe will take orders over the phone for pickup and deliver within specific geographic
location INSERT_MAP

I love Che Cafe! I could eat their burger every day for the rest of my life and be happy. I also love
how nice the people who run it are. They're so friendly that I always look forward to coming back.
The best part is that I can go right next door to Vergnetti's coffee and sit down with an amazing
coffee and have my awesome burger brought right to me. How great is that?

I have only eaten at Che Cafe once (mac and cheese), but it was delicious. Creamy and
comforting. The people running it are funny and friendly. The cool thing was that I went to
Vergnetti's Coffee and they brought the food to me so I could sit down with my with my meal and
latte (which was also really delicious). Check both places out!!

I DREAM about Mr. Riley's Sake Mac and Cheese...NO really, dream of it! I have never had Mac
N Cheese that was so flavorful, they even have Martha Stewart's Mac n Cheese recipe beat by a
LANDSLIDE! Every time I go I get an order of tomato soup and grilled cheese too. Yes, Terry
and Ryan love dogs, even ones that don't belong to them as we share Tanner The Time Share Dog
(he's really my dog but they take him in on rare occasions that he needs to go to Doggy Day Camp
for some fun.)

likes the mac and cheese. We keep ordering our favorites-now I can't wait to try more. They gave
our dogs treats they had made. I always stop into Vergnettis coffe for a latte when I am there.
Soooo gooood...

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="El Gallo
Taqueria"][/caption] Location:
SE 48th and Woodstock (parking lot of The Joinery) Description: El Gallo Taqueria is the latest
taco and burrito cart to come to the sprawling neighborhood of SE Portland. Located down off SE 48th
and Woodstock in the Woodstock neighborhood, Jake Brown, the owner, is offering up rustic Mexican
cuisine while sourcing his ingredients locally. [caption id=""
align="alignright" width="168" caption="Tacos from El Gallo Taqueria"][/caption] I am a sucker for tacos and whenever I visit a
new cart, tacos are my barometer. If you can make a good taco, you probably do everything else pretty
well also. I ordered up one each chorizo, carnitas and fish. El Gallo espouses that they make everything
from scratch, so I wasn't surprised that the tortillas were different than what I normally get. They were
larger and had that fresh flavor you get from corn tortillas made by hand. So great! Of the three, I
enjoyed them all equally, but would order the chorizo again. I realize just how much I love this spicy
Mexican sausage and how El Gallo prepared it with chopped onions and cilantro made it pop. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="168" caption="Tostada from El
Gallo Taqueria"][/caption] The other dish we
ordered was the signature dish - the Nevada Tostada - fry bread topped with beans, cabbage, pickled
onions, pic de gallo, cotija, citrus sour cream. A great combination of flavors. The citrus sour cream
gave the entire dish a mild citrus flavor that we loved. Mix that with the beans and onions and cilantro
and it turned out to be a great meal. We had it vegetarian, but Jake does offer it with your choice of
meat. El Gallo does offer some hot sauces. I had to try the "melt yer face" habanero sauce - true to the
name, it was pretty darn spicy...but flavorful. A great accent to these dishes. Jake Brown has a good thing going here in Woodstock being the only cart in the area. When we
arrived, he regretfully informed us that he was out of some items because of such a busy lunch. As we
were leaving, a line was forming of 5-7 people at 3:30pm. I love when a neighborhood supports the
carts. When you are down in the SE, swing on down to the Woodstock neighborhood and say hi to
Jake and his El Gallo Taqueria and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Tacos - choice of asada, carnitas, chorizo,
pollo, vegetarian, or fish - $2 Nevada Tostada - described above - $7.50 Breakfast
burrito - chorizo, eggs, potatoes, pepper jack cheese, cotija cheese, pico de gallo, cilanto and onions
wrapped in a tortilla - $6.50 Burrito de Gallo - choice of meat, beans, cabbage, pepper jack
cheese, cotija cheese, pico de gallo, cilantro and onions in a tortilla - $6 Hours:

***New Cart*** [caption
id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Native Bowl"][/caption] Location: N Mississippi at Skidmore in
Mississippi Marketplace Description: When we were over at Mississippi
Marketplace showing an out of town guest the carts, we decided to grab one of the dishes from Native
Bowl, another vegan cart in the pod. The dish had what they called "crack gravy" a gravy so good,
you'll get addicted to it like crack. I only got a couple of bites, but it was enough for me to return the
following day and meet the owners and try one of their bowls. Native Bowl is another brand new cart
in the pod. The owners Jay and Julie have been open for about 4 weeks and are fully vegan. Jay
relayed a story that one day their 8yr old son came home and asked if they could try vegan and it went
from there. The Native Bowl specializes in what we would traditionally call rice bowls. A layer of rice
(in this case, jasmine rice), then some sauce, some protein like marinated tofu topped with veggies.
Pretty simple concept, but if you prepare each item very well, you come out with an amazing dish.
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="180" caption="Couch Bowl from Native Bowl"][/caption] I chose the Couch Bowl (pronounced
cooch) per the owner's recommendation. I'll be the first to take someone's advice, keeps me from hand
wringing over all the choices. While they prepared it, I walked over to PROST!, the German pub in the
lot, grabbed a table and ordered a beer. Before I knew it, Julie was actually bringing me my bowl. I
don't think this is standard, but what a great gesture. Upon opening the bowl, I was overwhelmed with
the bright colors and savory aromas. The top of the bowl was a mixture of freshly chopped green
onions topped with a savory sauce and sesame seeds. Just below the onions were bean sprouts, some
mixed greens, chopped carrots and then marinated tofu and the rice. I'm the eater who prefers to mix
everything together so you don't end up with one single item at the end of the meal, yet this bowl was a
mix of amazing flavors from top to bottom. The sauce had some spice to it also, something I didn't
expect but was glad was there. The Native Bowl is another great addition to the Mississippi
Marketplace pod. Jay and Julie are kind and welcoming to everyone who walks by. If you're up in
North Portland and need a great dish, check out Native Bowl and tell them Food Carts Portland sent
ya. Sample Menu: Bowls are all vegan, $6 for regular, $7 for large
Mississippi Bowl - peppercorn ranch sauce, BBQ soy curls, house coleslaw, scallions, and jasmine

I went last week for the first time and will DEFINITELY be returning! They let me try a couple of
the sauces. I tried the peppercorn ranch sauce and BBQ and it left me no choice but to order a
large Mississippi Bowl! At $7 that large bowl was a steal. Not only was it delicious and satisfying
but it was huge and filling! I highly recommend trying a Mississippi Bowl the next time you're at
the marketplace!

As a vegan who's addicted to the myriad west- to east- to south-east-Asian foods, I don't too often
go in for what I've always called "hippie vegan" food. . . but this sounds pretty appetizing! Have
to starve myself for a day or two and then go up to Mississippi and try all these new carts! (Plus
room for a waffle).

Ok, what's the 411 on the Chocolate Bowl. Not currently in Portland, but am daydreaming about
what a Chocolate Bowl from Native Bowl might be. Spill the (cacao) beans, man.

My boyfriend and I shared an Alberta Bowl on Sunday and were wildly impressed. Neither one of
us is vegan, but the tofu, veggies, and rice (with the awesome dragon sauce) came together in a
harmony that was just awesome. I will totally be going back there (especially while drinking at
Prost! What a fantastic idea to have a pub and a cart pod work hand-in-hand like that!).

I'm not vegan, but I find myself totally addicted to Native Bowl, especially the Alberta Bowl with
its nice kick and perfect combination of ingredients. Someone asked about the chocolate cup: it's
like an airy chocolate cake, served warm with chocolate sauce. At only $1.50, it's the best dessert
for the money around.

Good day all. Here are some tidbits from the cart world here in Portland: [caption id=""
align="alignright" width="240" caption="Refuel North Station"][/caption] There is a new POD open this week up in North Portland
at the intersection of N Greeley and Killingsworth. Named Refuel North Station, the first cart to land is
Brother Bob's Roving Bakery. I understand from Byron Beck that Brother Bob
has stopped roving for the time being. In the building at the back of the lot, it looks like they are doing
wood fired pizza. The signage states they have hookups for carts and are looking for more. If you need
a spot for your cart, contact Steven at 503 675 3925. _______________ New carts have opened this
past week to much fanfare. Check them out if you can: The SugarCube - Kir Jensen has
reopened her much anticipated dessert cart up in North Portland. Head on down for something sweet.
N Mississippi at Skidmore in Mississippi Marketplace Pyro Pizza - a new cart from the
owners of Give Pizza a Chance has opened at Cartopia at SE 12th and Hawthorne. Pyro sports a wood
fired oven where they can turn around smaller single pizzas in a small amount of time. Early reports
are very positive. _______________ In other news, we have been engaged almost daily by
both local and national press, including some writing books. The big question that keeps coming up is
can Portland sustain this rapid growth in carts. In the past year, Portland has seen a 25% increase in the
number of carts and has expanded the number of PODs by 5 throughout the city. Winter is coming, so
the general feeling will be that customers will stay indoors. I'm not sure I agree, but time will tell.
What do you think? Will the surge continue? Will we see a slight slowdown and then a resurgence
come spring? Inquiring minds want to know. Have a great weekend and as always, find us on Twitter or Facebook where other
conversations happen hourly and daily.

I think the weather will have a seasonal effect, but I think the biggest long term hit to food carts
will be overall economic recovery. I think the food carts actually benefit by the poor economy by
offering pretty good food at a reasonable price. Once the economy recovers, unemployment
decreases, and folks have more foldin' money in their pockets, I think a lot of them will migrate
away from the food carts and back to more uppity establishments.

@JustinS You may be right, but I hope you are wrong. I make enough money to eat at "uppity"
restaurants, but I would still choose a cart more often. Some of the best food is to be had at carts,
and its had quick and you can then eat wherever you want, preferably outside at a park.

I agree with JustinS -- the recession is what caused the explosion in food carts. During recessions,
when people have trouble getting regular jobs, they go back to school or they start small
businesses. But I'm hoping the carts will stick around post-recession. I think there are enough
people at the carts who are passionate about what they do and enjoy being their own boss, that
even if higher paying jobs come back, many of them will stick around at the carts. As for the
season, I've seen a big drop in the number of carts customers. In the summer, Alder St used to be
so jam-packed, you could hardly walk the sidewalk from 9th to 10th avenues. But maybe people
are just darting out of their offices to grab food and then back inside, whereas in the summer, there
was a lot more hanging out near the carts.

This always seems to be the case. Good weather=lots of customers. Bad weather= people tend to
stay inside...or go back in after their food purchase. Speaking from personal experience, the
winter weather is tough on the carts, but there are ways to supplement your income with
delivery,catering and special orders. If carts are financially struggling, contact Mercy Corps to see
if you qualify for a business loan. They helped me get up and running again and I can't thank them
enough. Also Albina Bank is super pro food cart. People love the carts and just need to know that
they should support them rain or shine. The quality of the food isn't lacking during the winter
months it's just the crappy weather. Grab a rain slicker and go get some yummy cart food!:)

Sadly, and based on experience studying and writing about the carts since 2007 - it is often a cash
flow issue. I think some of the less experienced, less "deep pocketed" and less business savvy carts
aren't quite prepared for the big dip their businesses (and thus bank accounts) take during colder
months. Sure, everyone is out and about during the warmer seasons; including tourists and
regulars. But I have noticed a big dip in foot traffic during the cold, wet winters. No one wants to
eat outside in that stuff and there are just less people walking around. It will also be interesting to
see hour the night carts and the mobile carts do. There are less people out at festivals and art fairs,
less people wanting to hang out in the rain at 2AM to get some after bar food, and just less
customers - period. I wish no ill will on any carts nor cart owners, but with the mass influx of, and
attention the carts received this summer, I do think we are going to see some casualties and shifts
in carts this winter. It's a market economics thing, really. That said, I don't think overall
economics will impact the popularity of the carts. I think now, in Portland, the carts have become
a culturally accepted, if not well loved way of eating no matter the disposable income or class. It
reminds me a lot of Thailand. Even during the economic boom there in the 1990s there were more,
not less carts in Bangkok and other cities. Everyone loves the carts - rich dudes and their limo
drivers, families, college kids, tourists. I think carts, as a dining phenomenon in Portland are
definitely here to stay. The question is for me, what is the market saturation point? That is, how
many more carts, cart PODS and the like can Portland support? Have no idea.

caption="Pulled Pork sandwich from Smokin' Pig"][/caption] Y'all like pulled pork? Then this is your
place. Served up right - tender and juicy and slightly smoky on a plate or on a bun for a bargain price
of $3.50 to $4.50. While this isn't my favorite type of BBQ; ( I prefer North Carolina style smoked for
at least 12 hours over wood and served with a spicy vinegar sauce on the side), Smokin' Pig's is still
pretty darn good. Two sauces are available a thick sweetish hot sauce and a more mild variety.
Coleslaw is available on the side. Not in the mood for Pork? How about a fine Fetzer's sausage on a
bun for $3.50? [Menu, photos and contact information updated Nov. 2009 by Dieselboi]
Sample Menu: Pulled Pork Sandwich - $3.50 or $4.50 Pulled

Yeah, pretty good stuff, for me around a B or B+ cart. You get lots, and it's good for what it is. I'm
with you, though - the author I mean - I am a NC native and prefer the "Lexington" style 'cue you
describe, with the vinegar sauce and a finely shredded slaw. It's worth trying the red and mustard
sauces - I preferred the red, but the mustard sauce was interesting.

I moved to the area in March and this is the best BBQ I've found so far. And it's in walking
distance of my office! Awesome! If he was closer to Memphis he could probably win awards.
They say in life you only get two of three options when making decisions: good, fast, cheap. I
think Smoking Pig BBQ hits all three.

Had lunch there today. It was snowy and cold outside so there wasn't alot of foot traffic around the
carts area. I'd been looking for a BBQ place close to work and now I've found it!! Great pork
sandwich. Got the spicey BBQ sauce, tater salad and bbq beans. For 6 bucks?? are you kidding
me? I could hardly finish it all. Great bbq flavor without being overpowering. I'll definitly be back
as I'm only 3 blocks away!

I have seen this cart open 2 times in a year and a half once at lunch, when I got a free sample and
once at like 6pm a few months later when I was finally able to eat there.I visit this block of food
carts probably 2 to 4 times a week but unfortunately this place never seem to be open when I am
around no matter what time it is.

Back in August, Portland was visited by NBC Nightly News to do a piece on Portland's food cart
scene. It was a great few days showing the producer around and chatting with him and introducing him
to some of Portland's cart owners. Greg Abbot from Whiffies and I were interviewed on Strangelovelive that week and that
segment alone gave the article some meat. Originally, I think it was to be a Portland vs. New York
piece. I think Portland got the better deal. You decide. Visit msnbc.com
for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy If
you're not able to watch the video, head over to MSNBC. Wonderful
job Portland!

I'm really proud of Dieslboi for continuing to do a kick-butt job in my absence and for all the
fantastic cart owners and diners in continuing to make - dare I say it? - Portland's cart scene one of
the strongest in the U.S. (I'm not getting into the NYC vs. PDX cart debate. I've already written
about that).

As a NYer I'd be lying if I said the NYC foodcart scene even compared to Portland's. For the
extremely brief time I had there in the beginning of September, I was amazed. The carts are
reason alone to go back. It's great to see.

Being a farmer, I am inspired by qaulity food efficient preparation as I am always on the go. When
I need a quick fix, I head toward The North Mississippi cart station where combinations of fresh,
yumminess, creativity are located in a one stop eating location. Yet, I must praise the one...the Big
Egg. The wrap was fanstatic and combined flavor and savor. The french toast - pure lusciousness!
I love me some food carts!

caption="Chopollos"][/caption] Location: SW 4th and Hall
(by PSU) Description: Chopollos is one of those carts that has taken their space and converted it into both a cart and
dining area. By taking over 2 spots in the lot, they have a place for their cart and a place where you can
enjoy your food under an awning. In the realm of carts, there are few that offer covered seating.
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="240"
caption="Chopollos"][/caption] Chopollos specializes in Mexican
food - a traditional taqueria with tacos, burritos, tortas and other items you would expect from a
Mexican cart. They do have on their menu some items that I haven't seen at the other carts downtown
that intrigued me, but only after I had ordered my carnitas burrito. One item, Huarache (yes, like the
sandal) is a masa base made with corn flower topped with all different toppings. Like many taquerias,
they had photos of their food and just looking at the huarache made my mouth water. But I had ordered
the burrito and vowed to enjoy it. [caption id=""
align="alignleft" width="75" caption="Chopollos"][/caption] The carnitas burrito I received for $4.50 could have fed a small family. It
was a monster. Filled with refried beans, rice, carnitas, pico and guacamole, it was just what I needed
on that busy day. It came with hot sauce, which I used, but only to spice it up. The flavors in the
burrito were enough to keep me eating even though I knew I shouldn't finish it. I did. Chopollos has an extensive menu, yet when you peruse it, you realize there are only a few
variations on traditional Mexican fare. They do offer breakfast burritos along with hamburgers and
even fish tacos. Judging from the steady stream of customers, they are pretty popular down there which
tells me they make some great food consistently. Check out Chopollos next time you are down there
and need something different and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Tacos - choice of meat including carnitas,
asada, pollo, veggie or fish - $1.50 Burritos - rice, refried beans, choice of meat or veggies -
$4.50-$5 Breakfast burrito - eggs, potatoes, cheese, bacon - $4.25 Chorizo con
papas - chorizo, eggs, potatoes, cheese, sour cream - $4.50 Chopollo burrito - chili relleno
with refried beans, rice, steak, picado and guacamole on flour tortilla - $5 Hamburger -
$5 Veggie or Chicken tamale - $1.50 Hours: Breakfast through
lunchtime, Monday through Friday Contact: unknown INSERT_MAP

Oh sweet huarache! It is the best of all things. I went once and told them that I always get the
huarache, but thought I should try something else, and asked what they recommended. They said
just get the huarache, it's the best. They have a great veggie selection, too, and will gladly make
other things veggie that aren't. (see huarache) They use more fresh ingredients than I've seen at
other carts, too, like avocado slices and bell pepper strips. Their veggie burritos actually have
veggies in them, and aren't just rice, bean and cheese bombs. I used to get the tofu burrito before
discovering the huarache.

Some news and an announcement: [caption id="" align="alignright" width="168" caption="DC
Vegetarian Italian Sub"][/caption] DC Vegetarian is doing its 1st
Annual food drive this Friday and next (Nov. 13 and 20) at the cart to support the Oregon Food Bank.
DC Vegetarian makes some great sandwiches and if you bring in a donation, you'll get half off. Nice!
The Oregon Food Bank is most in need of the following: canned and boxed meals: soup,
chili, stew, macaroni & cheese canned or dried beans and peas: black, pinto, lentils
pasta, rice, cereal canned fruits 100 percent fruit juice: canned, plastic or
boxed cooking oil Such a great idea and I commend DC Vegetarian for doing this. I know where I'm
eating Friday. DC Vegetarian is located on SW 3rd and Stark and is open from 11am-4pm.
_______________ Parkers Waffles left a cryptic message on their Facebook page on Tuesday announcing that
they have "something groovy" for today (Thursday) and want you to swing by - it's going to be free.
Not sure what it is, but heck, free is a good price and Parkers is tasty. Parkers Waffles is located at SW
4th and Hall down by PSU. _______________ We have a winner for our Northwest Food and Wine
festival tickets. Elisabeth Flaum submitted a great essay on why she loves Portland's food carts. Her
story will be published later today. We received 19 submissions, all of them wonderful. I want to thank
everyone who participated and Buick for providing the tickets. I also want to thank the judges: Lizzy,

Portland food carts, how do I love you?

Portland food carts, how do I love you? I love you in the sun. Cranberry duck confit on chewy
baguette, the perfect complement to dappled shade in the South Park Blocks. A crisp salad roll, cool
with a splash of mint. Lunch on the waterfront can‘t be beat. I love you in the rain. Huddled under the
awning, I await a steaming vat of pho. Hurrying back to my office, I don‘t give it time to cool before
slurping noodles. The chicken broth and spices keep my head clear all winter long. I love you in a
hurry. A giant burrito I can eat while I walk, it keeps me full all afternoon no matter how busy I get. A
couple of tacos; a minute to make, a minute to eat, oh so tasty. I love you on a leisurely family lunch.
My father chats in Polish while we eat pierogies flavored with the old country. Little buttery pockets of
Babcia‘s kitchen. My brother, missing the Far East, prowls the bahn mi selection. Silly me, I thought
it was a French roll; what a difference a little rice flour makes. In truth I cannot count the ways. Every
day some new flavor, some new place. I have never had Bosnian food before. Is it a soup day? A
sandwich day? A day for barbeque or curry or pad thai? Gyros or bigos or kim chi? I am spoiled; how
ever did I get through a work day without the friendly yummy carts nearby? The winning entry by
Elisabeth Flaum

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Pyro
Pizza"][/caption] Location:
SE 12th and Hawthorne at Cartopia Description: Friday night on the town. Happy
hour at a fancy restaurant in the Pearl with cocktails made from fancy gin and vodka. Where does one
go for dinner after such an event? Cartopia! Yes, indeed. We cruised down to SE 12th and Hawthorne
to get some food and specifically, try the new Pyro Pizza. Pyro Pizza is the latest from pizza guru John Eads. You may know him from his
other pizza adventure - Give Pizza a Chance - which has graced a downtown spot now for a couple of
years and is always busy. John wanted to try something different - wood oven pizza. And by try, I
mean build a few by hand and work out the bugs. The oven in the cart at SE 12th and Hawthorne is the
6th iteration and by the taste of the pizza, I think he worked out the kinks. The night we arrived, it was cool and wet, but not raining. The cart sits high, so they have a
small deck to step up to in order to be face to face with them while ordering. You can smell the alder
and pine burning away in the oven and feel the warmth while you peruse the menu and order. Just
reading the menu makes your mouth water, offering up 12" pies of all sorts, made right there when you
order. While I love a good meat bonanza, I decided upon the traditional margarita so our whole group
could enjoy some if they wanted. While we chatted about the new cart and I took some photos, John
quickly made my pizza and before I knew it, they were handing to me. Less than 5 minutes, maybe
even shorter. Now that is a hot oven. [caption id=""
align="alignleft" width="240" caption="Margarita from Pyro Pizza"][/caption] The margarita was a great blend of marinara
sauce, mozzarella and fresh basil all on a whole wheat crust. The crust was thin and tasty and even the
edges kept me intrigued. Ask anyone, I'm not a crust end eater and that evening, I ate every last bit. It
was hard to offer up pieces to my friends. The pie is pretty large for $8 and could easily feed two
people. Pyro Pizza is now open at SE 12th and Hawthorne. The glory of
that pod is that you can go down there, get a pie and also have a pick at some of the other carts to
round out a meal. Take a group and have a potluck. John admits they are "working out the kinks." Not
sure what that means because my pie was excellent. Stop on by and enjoy some wood oven pizza and
tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample
Menu: Antipasts - sliced fresh mozzarella layered with plum tomatoes, fresh
basil and balsamic vinigar - $5 Traditional Margarita pizza - fresh marinara sauce,
mozzarella di buffalo, fresh basil, and a dash of olive oil - $8 Pepperoni - fresh marinara
sauce, mozzarella cheese and locally produced peperoni - $7 Caramelized onion -
caramelized torpedo onions, gorgonzola and parmigiano-reggiano cheese with pistachios - $8
Cuattro formaggi - a blend of fresh mozzarella, sheep's cheese, gorgonzola and parmigiano-

Tried them Friday...the antipasto was great, good balasamic, delicious cheese. I got a margarita.
Good sauce, sparse cheese, and I am not a fan of the whole wheat crust. If they make a more
traditional crustI will be back...and order it with xtra cheese!

caption="Spoons"][/caption] Location: SW 5th and Oak/Alder Parking Lot
Description: The other day I was wandering around from pod to pod, trying to
decide what to eat. I just couldn't choose, so kept walking and enjoying the fall air and moisture. After
checking out about 25 carts and pausing at a couple, I decided upon soup. It was a cool day, but not
rainy and soup just sounded good. Spoons is one of a few carts in town who offer exclusively soup and
when I decided to order, I was excited that they had borscht. Earlier in the week, I wondered aloud
with friends if there were any carts selling borscht. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="240"
caption="Borscht from Spoons"][/caption] Borscht originated in the Ukraine, but has become the
soup of central and eastern Europe. Many in America associate it with traditional Russian food. Made
with beets as the base, it is famous for its deep red or burgundy color. The soup is usually served with
a dollop of sour cream atop. That contrast of stark white with the deep red is simply beautiful. Yet
once you mix it together, you sometimes get a color of the soup that may seem strange - a pinkish hue.
No worries, it still tastes great. The borscht I enjoyed at Spoons was deep burgundy, so I wasn't able to
see the bright contrast. As I ate it, I tasted the beets, onions and cabbage. I wasn't sure if it was a meat
stock, but the overall flavor of the soup was wonderful. Hot and savory and served with a small
baguette, I enjoyed every bit, even tipping up the cup and drinking the last bits. Soup is one of my
favorite foods when winter comes. I have images of carrying around a thermos that is always full of
hot miso or a Hungarian mushroom or potato leek - a thermos I can just pop the top and drink in the
soup. Spoons' soups were what I needed that day. When you are seeking a meal that will warm you up
on these cold winter lunches, stop on by Spoons and tell them Food Carts Portland sent ya. [profile

I don't think I've ever been blown away by Spoons' soups, but I still eat there fairly frequently,
mainly because for $3.50 I can get a relatively healthy meal (compared to most carts). Sometimes
the soups aren't as hot as I'd wish by the time I get back to my office, and sometimes the soups
don't seem all that fresh (possibly because I eat lunch later in the day than most people, so they've
been warming for quite a while). That said, I've never had a bad soup there, and sometimes their
soups surprise me with interesting flavors. I recently had a nice corn and roasted pepper one. And
the Grand Central bread is a nice touch.

I have been eating at this soup cart for over 3 years now (wow) and it is one of my favorite places
to eat downtown. The chili has a kick and the ingredients are fresh and healthy. The soup guy is
fun to chat with and always friendly. The soup, salads, and wraps are all delicious and as a loyal
patrron I recommend this cart to any downtowner...in fact I'm going there right now....

Weirdly lame. I had soup and salad today and the chipotle chili soup was from a can. No
kidding. Mushy beans and little pieces of mushy meat. Salad was on the small side and had a
canola oil dressing. I hate the smell of canola oil, smells like all those nasty bottled dressings that
I don't use. Really strange for a downtown food cart. $6 for a very unhappy lunch.

good I was licking the cup clean! I mean, surprisingly good. And I don't even love tomato soups
(normally). Two thumbs up.

side of rustic bread fill me up and help me avoid the tempting, unhealthy options on the block.
The soups are great for drizzly portland days. yummy, healthy, fresh

Food carts take me places....... all of them good! We have in this town a staggering variety of cuisines
available at these mobile islands of good taste; whether it be street food from a foreign land, comfort
food that reminds us of our youth/home, or amazing flavor mash-ups that make us smile and nod. The
promise of a cart I haven't yet tried has prompted me to travel to virtually all neighborhoods of our city
in my ongoing foodie quest; and before or after chowing down, I invariably stumble upon several
other unexpectedly great discoveries: a photo op, a quirky small business, a new street or row of
storefronts to check out on foot or bike. I love the spirit of entrepreneurship that the carts represent.
Some operators are young kids just starting out, some are retirees pursuing a passion they've always
wanted to follow, and some are reinventing themselves, whether by choice or economic necessity,
somewhere in the middle. I also love the concept of inexpensive food freshly prepared on the spot,
right in front of me, when I order..... by someone who must by definition be resourceful enough to
create his/her magic within the cozy confines of their "culinary cockpit". Cart folks keep it simple.......
and keep it real. They put themselves "out there", unswayed by public opinion and unafraid of failure,
like people who grow vegetables in their front yard or ride their bikes in parades in the nude. That's
Portland, people! In short: food carts ARE Portland: unique, DIY, inclusive. Through them, I feel an
even deeper love and connectedness with this city. They make *me* try harder. I'm proud of us,
Stumptown ----- and the carts are a perfect example of why I feel that way! An ongoing series of
essays from our readers as to what they love about food carts in Portland. The preceding essay was
from David Shirley. Thank you David.

that make PDX the best city in the world to live in!

Another week, more great cart news: Garden State, a Portland favorite in the Sellwood neighborhood
will be the highlight of Good Morning America's food cart series. We discussed this awhile back
stating that GMA was looking for viewers to submit their favorite food cart from around the US and it
looks like Garden State made the cut. Well done! GMA will be at Garden State off SW 13th and
Lexington on Thursday around 10:30 to do the filming that will air on Saturday morning. If you are a
food cart fan and love Garden State, head on down there Thursday for the filming and then vote for
Garden State in the national GMA contest. (more details on that when we get it.) _______________
More Garden State news - Garden State will be closing their Sellwood cart in mid-December in order
to focus their energies on opening a second cart at Mississippi Marketplace in North Portland. The new
cart is slated for opening in January with the Sellwood cart to re-open in February. Another example of
food cart success. The O has more details. _______________ The Grilled Cheese Grill is making
some national press. Their Jalapeño Popper is highlighted in an article in Rachel Ray's magazine Everyday. With the likes of grilled cheese sandwiches from across the US, The
Grilled Cheese Grill show their metal. If you haven't tried one of their sandwiches, you should. The
Grilled Cheese Grill is located at NE 11th and Alberta and is open both for lunch and late
evening/night. _______________ Some cart specific news: DC Vegetarian was so happy
with you, our readers, and Portland for coming out Friday for the first day of their annual food drive.
They are repeating it on Friday, so bring down some food for the Oregon Food Bank and you'll get 1/2
off your sandwich. Way to go DC Vegetarian. Brunchbox is doing vegetarian week at the cart
all week. An example from Twitter- Mexitarian sandwich: veggie protien,refried beans
w salsa, and jack cheese. Viva El Caja del brunch! SW 5th and Stark
Spudlocker has relocated from NE Alberta downtown to SW 2nd and Stark. They
are open weekdays for lunch and have the coolest looking cart. Check them out if you work
downtown for crazy baked potatoes topped with most anything you want.
The Fried Onion and The Frying Scotsman, both on NW Raleigh between 22nd and
23rd are offering specials for Food Carts Portland readers. At The Fried Onion, you'll get a free cookie.
At The Frying Scotsman, you'll get 50c off your order. Just drop our name and get your
riches. Wolf and Bear's located on SE 20th and Morrison will
be closing next week to hibernate for winter. Only a few more days to get your
falafel. WyEast, a cart we plan on visiting soon will also be
closing for winter, but not until Dec. 21. So you still have a few more weekends to get out to SE 50th
and Powell for some great pizza. _______________ There is so much more
rattling around in food cart land, we just can't keep up. Portland is still getting a ton of press, both local
and national showcasing our wonderful carts and their owners. Cart owners: keep up the great work.
Cart eaters - enjoy it daily.

Must be thinking of the cart that sets up at the Saturday market (and only there, as far as I know).
I can't think of the name--but it's too bad they're not an everyday concern. . .

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Taqueria
El Canario"][/caption] Location: SW
4th and Ankeny Description: It is 11pm, you've already watched a band at Dante's or Berbati's and you are getting
hungry. You've had a few too many of the wonderful Voodoo donuts over time and need some protein.
Where do you go? Not far. Just a hop skip and a jump from the clubs is Taqueria El Canario, a late
night taqueria that will sate your appetite, allowing you to watch the next band with a full
stomach. Taqueria El Canario offers up the traditional Mexican fare
you would expect from a cart - tacos, burritos, quesadillas and tostadas. You can order your tacos with
pastor, asada, carnitas, carne molida (ground beef), carne desebrada (shredded beef), chicken, machaka
(shredded beef with egg), lengua (tongue), veggie or fish. Such a large assortment, when you are out
late, you may be tempted to order one of each. And tacos are only $1.50. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="180" caption="Tacos from Taqueria El
Canario"][/caption] I ordered my favorite - carnitas and asada. Both
were well put together and they even had a little cheese sprinkled on top. The hot sauce and salsa they
offered was perfectly spicy for what I wanted that night. Late night food is
something I wish I knew about when I was younger. I love that the food carts of Portland have
embraced after hours and give us all something different to enjoy after both a long day and a long
night. Check out Taqueria El Canario when you are down by the clubs one weekend night and tell
them Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample
Menu: Tacos with any of the above listed meats or veggies - come with pico
de gallo, guacamole and cheese - $1.50 Burritos with your choice of meat - comes with rice
and beans, pico de gallo, guacamole and cheese - $4 Chile Relleno plate - include beans and
rice and your choice of meat - $5 Corn Enchiladas plate - include beans and rice and your
choice of meat - $5 Coffee and other drinks available Hours:
Friday and Saturday late night - 8pm-2am or later Contact: unknown

Greetings! The recipes here are fanstastic. Thanks for having this site. I found your site while
looking for another one on Yahoo. I don't have time to read all the recipes right now, but I have
bookmarked this site and will come back very soon to see your latest updates. I love reading about
cooking, it is my favorite hobby. I can't wait to try them out on my family. They think I'm crazy
(and maybe they are right lol) when they see me at work in the kitchen. Visit my site if you'd like to read more.
Thanks again - great site!

[caption id="" align="alignright" width="168" caption="The Sugar Cube"][/caption] I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kir Jensen
towards the end of last week to chat with her about the grand re-opening of The Sugar Cube, her
dessert baby. The Sugar Cube, a cart specializing in desserts and all things sugary and sweet was
originally located in downtown Portland up off SW 9th. Kir made a name for herself quickly with her
signature cupcakes. I would drop by occasionally for a tasty chocolate chip cookie just to get my
afternoon going. Kir's original cart closed just weeks after she was profiled in Sunset magazine. It was
winter 2009 and financially, some difficult decisions needed to me made. Kir decided to close.
[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="180" caption="Caramelized Apple Brown Butter Cart"][/caption] Kir knew she wanted to have her own
cart and knew she had a good thing going, just wanted to take the time to do it right. She spent the last
year acquiring a new cart, perfecting her craft and acquiring the funding to get her cart off the ground
and through what she learned to be the most challenging time for carts - the winter. Kir received a
micro loan from Mercy Corp and Albina Bank - a new program designed to help small businesses
make their dreams come true. Kir re-opened The Sugar Cube in November 2009 in Mississippi
Marketplace to much fanfare. And we're glad she's here. While The Sugar Cube was famous for their
cupcakes and still is, Kir has broadened her menu to include a tasty caramelized apple browned butter
tart and coffee caramel panna cotta. We had the pleasure of trying these new items while chatting with
Kir over a beer at PROST. The panna cotta was creamy, with layers of salted caramel and grated
chocolate and topped with a couple of gingersnaps to dip into the whole mess. The caramelized apple
tart was a fan favorite at the table also. All items are served up on vintage plates from Kir's family. Her
belief- why let them sit in a cupboard? Why not use them. I loved seeing these tasty desserts on those
vintage plates. It warmed the entire experience. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="168"
caption="Amy Winehouse Cupcake"][/caption] Kir, along with the other carts at Mississippi
Marketplace are still working out their hours. They offer up something most every day from morning
to night. We should all visit, say hi and help support them all through winter. Oh, and tell them Food
Carts Portland sent ya. [You can read Cuisine Bonne Femme's original profile of The Sugar Cube here]
Some of The Sugar Cubes offerings: Coffee caramel panna cotta- velvety smooth coffee
panna cotta, topped with a layer of salted caramel, whipped cream, grated chocolate and served with
a freshly baked gingersnap cookie. Amy Winehouse cupcake- Boozy yellow cake soaked
with brandy and orange, dipped in some sexy bittersweet chocolate ganache. Served straight up with a
coke straw and a sugar bump. Imported sugar from unknown Colombian region... Black N'
Tan cupcake- chocolate buttermilk cupcake, ethereal coffee cream frosting, caramel and toasted
coconut. Caramelized apple browned butter tart served warm with fresh whoop, apple cider
caramel and a dusting of fennel pollen. Location: N Mississippi at
Skidmore in Mississippi Marketplace Hours: Thursday through Saturday, 12-7pm,
Sunday, 12-5pm and available for special orders Twitter: TheSugarCube Contact:

My wife and I missed out on TSC the first time around, but had been waiting patiently when we
heard Kir was coming back. Since she has opened up at Mississippi Marketplace I think we have
been there about 10 times - and we live in Beaverton. Hands down these are the best desserts
around - the Highway to Heaven cupcake is dreamy goodness, the hot apple cider is amazing, the
brownie is excellent... We go back every week and every week it's still fantastic. So glad Kir is
back!

I've been by The Sugar Cube several times since she opened and EVERYTHING on that menu is
fantastic. The apple tart is beautiful with a perfect crust and the most flavorful caramelized apples.
The hot chocolate topped with smoked sea salt is a thing of beauty and, of course, her cupcakes
are phenomenal. My mouth is watering just thinking about it....

On opening day I went and got a chocolate brownie with fudge in the middle - and wait for it, wait
for it - it was drizzled with a grassy olive oil & sea salt. Oh my, it was so good. Nothing beats
the combo of salt & olive oil for me, especially on top of a cupcake! Ready to go back.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="263" caption="Fat Kitty Falafel"][/caption] Location: SE 21st and Division in
front of the Mirador Community Store Description: Falafel. It sounds simple
enough, doesn‘t it? A popular Middle-Eastern specialty of chickpeas and/or fava beans and spices fried
or baked up into balls or patties, most often served with yogurt or a tahini-based sauce. However, its
nuanced flavors and the variety of shapes, sizes and side dishes make it almost elusive. Filling,
satisfying and abundantly tasty balls of fried goodness, that‘s my primary motivation when seeking it
out, to be honest. I‘ve happily charged myself with sampling the city‘s vast array of falafel, and it‘s
been a fine ride. And there is definitely some great falafel in this town, make no mistake. Last week it
was brisk and slightly drizzly, so, while walking in SE Portland with a friend, we decided we wanted
some falafel. Quickly! And that‘s when we happened along Portland mainstay and falafel slinger
extraordinaire, Al Herre and his Fat Kitty Falafel cart on the south side of 21st and SE
Division, in front of Mirador Community Store. It‘s not just falafel, it‘s an experience. [caption id=""
align="alignright" width="240" caption="Falafel from Fat Kitty"][/caption] Al's menu is simple and straightforward. $5 will get you a
fresh hot falafel wrapped in a pita with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and your choice of tahini (plain,
cilantro and spicy) and optional hot sauce. Beverages available for an additional $1. The end. The
best part may be Al‘s crispy falafel is served up with some of the best conversation in town. Go for the
falafel, stay for a little bit of Al‘s philosophy of life in Portland, his escapades in New York City, or his
insight on the burgeoning Portland food cart scene. Al is here to stay, and so is his falafel (voted
several years in a row by the Williamette Week as the best falafel in the city, incidentally.) I
encourage you all to judge for yourselves. Crispy, flavorful and an ample serving for $5; I‘ll definitely
be coming back. Al is a Portland fixture that you will not soon forget. He‘s friendly, open and full of
conversation; I guarantee you will not leave without an opinion of Al and his
falafel. Fat Kitty is why I love this city! All vegetarian, all the time, with vegan tahini sauce available
upon request. Normally open 5 days a week for lunch, 11am – 5pm, call ahead if you‘re not sure he‘s
open. He‘ll take your order by phone and have it ready for pick up. 503-995-2724. www.fatkitty.biz. Al is seriously considering Twitter,
and I hope he does it soon, as I‘d happily follow his falafel anywhere. When you visit, tell him Food
Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Falafel: fresh hot falafel wrapped
in a pita with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and your choice of tahini (plain, cilantro and spicy) and
optional hot sauce - $5 Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 11am-5pm

Thanks to all who like my falafel. Thanks Garden State, it means a lot to me being called an
inspiration. Yesterday was like Spring in November and I had a great day. Thanks for the
comments. And thank you "Food Carts of Portland". Fat Kitty lets out a big purr to all, and is high
as a kite on catnip right now, or is it called people nip?

Glad to see Fat Kitty featured. Al's one of the inspirations we had for starting a cart. Always a
good hang and the falafel is just straight-up tasty.

Is this the cart that was in front of the Jewish Museum a few First Thursday ago? The falafel was
so good and I don't like falafel in general... They are always so dry. This one was moist and all
goodness in a pita. yummm...

It's 11am on Friday and you've been shopping for a few hours - OR, you are just getting to your
holiday shopping. Either way, you are hungry and don't really want another Subway sandwich or
teriyaki from the mall. You want something unique and Portland - a food cart lunch. Luckily for you,
many of the food carts downtown and close in SE will be open on Friday to feed the shoppers. Here is
the list of the carts that I am aware of that are open on Friday: Ali Baba's on SW 10th and
Alder Buddha Bites on SW 4th and College Wy'East Pizza on SE 50th, just north
of Powell Fat Kitty Falafel on SE 21st and Powell BrunchBox on SW 5th and
Oak Sidecart on SW 5th and Oak - you know you want cheese fries after Nordstrom's
Grilled Cheese Grill on NE 11th and Alberta - mmm, grilled cheese The Sugar Cube -
open normal hours on Saturday and Sunday Whiffies on SE 12th and Hawthorne
Savor Soup House on SW 10th and Alder Mum's Kitchen - South African Indian food -
N Fremont @ Vancouver M0no Malo - new cart on NE 23rd and Alberta - Tapas.
Potato Champion @ Cartopia Perierra Creperie @ Cartopia Fuego de Lotus on
NE 23rd and Alberta There are probably more to add to this list, but I couldn't get to all the
carts to confirm. If you know of a cart open this weekend that isn't listed, let me know and we'll update
the list. While your out, visit a cart, even if you have to go out of your way. You support a small
business who would love to see you and chat and feed you some great food.

caption="Crêperie"][/caption] Location: SW 5th and
Oak Description: Over the past few years, we've all seen a change in the food cart pod at SW 5th and Oak. Many
new carts have arrived and a few have stuck around through the growth. One cart has changed a couple
of times now, but is always open. First it was Taste of Kasakhstan, then a combination of that and
Gyro King. Now, it has re-opened as Crêperie - a crêpe cart. When I spoke with the crêpe slinger, Ilya,
about the new cart he told me they were just trying something new. My first introduction to crêpes in Portland was at Perierra Crêperie at Cartopia in SE. I
loved that they were offering up both sweet and savory crepes. The new Crêperie received some
guidance from Perierra prior to opening, so I was excited to see what they offered and glad to know
cart owners help each other out. I was there during the first week, so the menu may change, but Ilya
knew what he was doing with the crêpe griddle. [caption id=""
align="alignleft" width="113" caption="Chicken and Gruyere Crepe"][/caption] I ordered the chicken with Gruyere. I love that the
carts are embracing these bold cheeses for their dishes. The thinly shaved chicken breast and chunks of
Gruyere melded together just right on the crêpe. Everything was put together just right. I'm looking
forward to trying the crêpe with arugula next time. Crêperie is now open,
going on their second week. Head on down and say hi to Ilya and try one of his crêpes - you won't be
disappointed. Tell him Food Carts Portland sent ya. Sample Menu: Vanilla crêpe - $4
Fresh strawberry with whip cream - $4 Banana and nutella - $5 Giradelle
chocolate - $5 Avacado and sea salt - $5 Smore crêpe - $5 Gorgonzola,
pear, walnut and honey - $6 Chicken and Gruyere - $6 Fig, turkey, chevre and
honey - $6 Figs, brie, turkey and arugula - $6 Hours: Monday
through Friday - lunchtime Contact: unknown INSERT_MAP

Oh man, it was good stuff. I got the turkey, cream cheese, avocado. It was delicious. Slightly flaky
on top, soft further down the crepe. Convenient package to carry it in. Filling, but not too filling.
They have quite a few varieties, both sweet and savory kinds. When I spoke with the guy, he said
he planned on adding "a lot more". This will be a new regular spot of mine, I'm sure of it. This is
what's so great about carts -- you can get incredible, freshly prepared food for cheap.

Glad to see this place move into the 5th Ave. pod. The previous incarnations weren't as interesting.
My first cart crepe was from the Snow White House, which used to be where the new Directors
Park is now. I think it's over by the Alder pod now. Surprised it's not on your site yet. It's been
around for a long time!

Portland Food Carts are Egalitarian

We stand outside in the cold Portland drizzle, waiting in line as the smell of food flirts with our noses
and the heat from the busy stoves inside the food cart lingers out and warms our faces. In a world of
recession and unemployment and gloom, the shantytowns of the food carts have become our comfort
and refuge. Not only do they provide affordable sustenance for our hungry bellies, but they also reflect
the human spirit that refuses to be crushed and shut down despite a year‘s worth of rampage and
destruction to retail businesses and restaurants. No, instead, the food carts look at the economy, shake
their fists in the air, and say, ― We refuse to cower to your expectation that we must have an expensive
business plan and high overhead costs to be able to make delicious food that we care about and that
makes us and the people we feed happy.‖ In the republic of Portland, even those who can‘t afford to
dine at Paley‘s Place or other haute cuisine restaurants can have mouth-watering quality food that is
creative, exciting, and made with care. And let‘s not forget how the food carts allow us to meet and
talk to the people who make our food, who are often the owners of the carts. I love the Portland food
carts because they are tasty and egalitarian! An ongoing series of essays from our readers as to
what they love about food carts in Portland. The preceding essay was from May Wang. Thank you
May.
