  • The Heist

    The Heist

    The Heist is a food cart pod in SE Portland’s Woodstock neighborhood. It is the premier dining destination in the city hands down with some of the best food.

    Golden Triangle Asian Fusion

    Golden Triangle is a food cart located at The Heist in Portland (4727 SE Woodstock Blvd). They just celebrated their 10 year anniversary and are on at least their 3rd location in town. I’m pretty sure I was a day one here because I used to go to their cart when they were on a…

    “Strawberry Fields” salad from Farmer and the Beast. Oregon Strawberries, Fromage Blanc, Pickled Fennel, Roasted Spring Vegetables, Cucumbers, Spring Greens, Almonds, with Strawberry Vinaigrette and Balsamic Drizzle. This is a really incredible salad. They ran it last year too and it really blew me away so I had to get it again this year. Oregon…

  • J’s Cuts & Wraps

    Tucked away on an unassuming corner on the south end of Mississippi Ave in Portland, OR is the food cart J’s Cuts & Wraps. Serving soul food out of an old black truck that has seen better days, J’s Cuts has become one of my favorite new carts (they opened up less than 2 years…

  • HarBQ

    One of my new favorite traditions this summer has been to go to HarBQ on Fridays for whatever sandwich special they are running. They offer up full bbq menus on the weekends, but on Fridays have a smaller menu and a few sandwich specials. They’ve all been great, and the ones I have had recently…

  • Sorbu Paninoteca

    Sorbu Paninoteca is an exemplar of why I love the Portland food scene so dearly. A tiny food truck that specializes in Tuscan cuisine with a menu that changes weekly reflecting seasonal bounty while also making their own bread in house (or, truck). Sandwiches, risottos, pastas, salads, vegetables. All of it delicious and unique. I…

  • Walter French’s

    As the Portland food scene continues to grow, both as a food tourism destination and as a local scene, one exciting trend has been the proliferation of excellent new sandwich spots, whether restaurants or food carts. New spots like Dimo’s, Piccone’s, Sandy-O’s, Lottie and Zula’s have joined along with venerable establishments like Lardo and Devil’s…
