We LOVE Portland!
We have had so much fun here – the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Lan Su Gardens, Mount Tabor, The Grotto, 3D Museum, and of course the fabulous and wonderful food carts.
We feel we accomplished our goal here: To taste the many and varied food carts of Portland. We have been looking forward to this ever since we watched “Eat Street” on the Food Network. Here are the food carts we sampled:
FOSTER POD
Wooster’s: chicken fried steak and fried green tomato sandwich with banana pudding for dessert.
MISSISSIPPI MARKETPLACE POD
Big Top Waffle: corn meal waffle topped with mushrooms, chili, onions, sausage.
Garden State: meatball hero with chickpea fries.
The Big Egg: Monte Cristo sandwich
SW STARK and 5TH STREET POD
La Jarochita: banana leaf wrapped tamales and tacos
Brunch Box: fantastic hamburgers, the “You Can Has It” and the “Outlaw”
Tabor Czech: pork schnitzel sandwich
BELMONT AND 4TH POD
Nusha’s: beer brats
Sweet Pea’s: crème brulee
12TH and HAWTHORNE POD
Potato Champion: French fries smothered in BBQ pork and chili beans
Pyro Pizza: margarita pizza
Whiffie’s Fried Pies: mixed berry fried pie a la mode
La Creperia: turkey, brie and cranberry jam filled crepe

Out of this list of carts, here are our top five favorites:

Wooster’s
Big Top Waffles
La Jarochita
Some of the best food we have ever eaten came from these food carts and we firmly believe it is because of their spirit of independence and their love of what they do.
Today we head home to Ventura. We wish we could keep heading down the road to parts unknown. But, reality calls and it’s time to return to the homestead.
It’s been fun keeping this journal and for those of you who have followed along, we hope you have enjoyed sharing our experiences, food, and travels along the way,
Susan and Fred
