The Portland food cart scene is renowned. Sprinkled throughout the city is curbside cuisine in sprawling cart hubs or solitary nooks. Few corners of the world or types of cuisine are unrepresented. These trailer-based food-flingers provide a quick, diverse alternative to brick-and-mortar restaurants. Popular with lunch crowds, snack-hungry pedestrians, or merely those seeking some down-to-earth variety, food carts give color to the city while they produce fuel for your fragile human bodies.
In 2009, the NY Times Frugal Traveler visited PDX and highlighted food cart culture in a video.
