Food Carts Portland Q BBQ has re-opened to much fanfare and a good sized crowd. Now located at SW 4th and College, it looks like they will be a lunch cart. I can't get the image nor the wonderful taste of the bbq'd turkey leg out of my mind.

This cart was always super slow on 12th and Hawthorne. I was hoping he'd figure out a way to speed things up for the lunch crowd. As my grandmother used to yell from the kitchen, "Good food takes time!"

It certainly smelled wonderful when I walked by, and I was impressed that they have mustard greens. (Hi, Vinh!)

Food Carts Portland The Sugar Cube - redux! Kir Jensen has re-opened her much loved dessert cart and it is just down the street from me. I may need to take up running in order to justify the frequent visits. I love that she includes items like olive oil and smoky salt in with her sweet treats. Welcome back Kir.

It's like walking into someone's backyard barbecue. There are groups of people standing and chatting, while others are sitting and eating at makeshift picnic tables. Haphazardly strung lights give the scene a festive atmosphere. ...

I know it matters to Garden State and the other entrants, but seriously, what good does it do for someone from Omaha to be voting in this poll if they've never tried any of the food? I put in a Portland vote for Garden State, only because I've tried it. But the Seattle entry LOOKS and SOUNDS better to me. Garden State is one of my fave food carts though.

Food Carts Portland If you're planning on making it a late night tonight in downtown Portland - and I know you are - check out Taqueria El Canario when you get the munchies. Tacos for $1.50 and burritos for $4. Just what you need after a few beers. SW 4th and Ankeny by Dante's.

Food Carts Portland Today's food cart profile is The Fried Onion. Located up in NW Portland off 22nd and Raleigh, The Fried Onion specializes in hot dogs and sausages. The owner is a certified hot dog historian in my opinion and will tell you about the journey they took to find the perfect dog. They also offer up specials to readers of Food Carts Portland, so drop the name and you may get something extra.
