About

Visit several locally run food carts, relax on Portland patios, and eat a huge selection of diverse foods. Get up close and personal with food cart owners while eating their dishes, drinking tasty beverages, and exploring Portland’s up-and-coming Eastside.

What you'll do

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Most locals don’t even know about this top-secret food hall, but those who do consider it their local hangout. What really makes this place special are the vendors that occupy it, whom you’ll meet while you enjoy their food!
• Our favorite patio in Portland is home to a local brewery with a major legacy behind it. We’ll sample their beer, made with locally grown ingredients, and top off our afternoon with a fresh-baked pretzel stick dipped in beer cheese.
