Itinerary

Fries for Days

• At a food cart that goes through 1000 pounds of Oregon potatoes per week, try their popular poutine: hand-cut, twice fried potatoes topped with homemade gravy and local cheese.

Handmade Street Taco

• This cart keeps things simple, making just 30 corn tortillas by hand each day. You’ll try one topped with generously seasoned meat and fresh toppings. It’s a hidden favorite… easy to miss, but unforgettable once you’ve had it.

Bavarian, Slavic, & Burmese Delight

• One of Portland’s largest (and coolest) food cart pods sits on the former grounds of the Oregon Hospital for the Insane. Mentally prepare yourself to try 4 insanely delicious dishes that we’ve hand-picked to highlight the diversity of our local food cart scene.

Portland's Vibrant Street Art Scene

• Just a stone’s throw across the river from Downtown, Portland’s Industrial Eastside neighborhood is celebrated for its vibrant murals, interactive art installations, and quirky history. Set out by food, camera at the ready, to see how this area has transformed over the decades.

Portland’s Bread Village

• One of our favorite patios in Portland, this lively food cart pod is home to a mix of standout vendors and a well-known local bakery. We’ll top off the afternoon with an award-winning BBQ sandwich on freshly baked bread that’s worth saving room for.

*This itinerary is subject to changes and adjustments based on daily vendor operations and availability, but it will always be awesome.
