I was in the mood for hot dogs today, actually this thing started at about 3AM this morning, but I couldn’t motivate myself to get out of bed to pan up some weenies. So I went ahead and did it for breakfast at 730A, two Oscar Meyer all beef franks, buns, yellow mustard only. This… Continue reading Dog Day Afternoon Becomes Three, er Four Dog Night

Portland, OR – The Dump Truck
Fevered anticipation surrounded the opening of this new cart, at the top of the heap (address wise) on Alder between SW 10th and 11th. What could it be, asked people in my circle? OK, I was asking myself. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the cart would be the purveyor of one… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Dump Truck
Portland, OR – The Fried Onion Redux
Been trying to get to the Fried Onion’s new location (SE 3 and Alder), to try their new Reuben sammich, ever since they rolled it out. I know, you’re saying WTF? What’s a reuben got to do with burgers, dogs, and pizza? Well, you see, I occasionally like a few other things, you may have… Continue reading Portland, OR – The Fried Onion Redux
Portland, OR – Violetta, 3rd Time’s a Charm
Oh, you clever, clever people. How is it you keep roping me in, month after month, for yet another burger and fries? What secret hold do you have over my taste buds, oh you sirens of sandwiches, you barons of burgers, sultans of sauces? Stopped by the Violetta mobile today for my third visit. They… Continue reading Portland, OR – Violetta, 3rd Time’s a Charm
Portland, OR – Violetta Redux
I first visited Violetta’s mobile kitchen in mid January, right after they first opened. Read about that visit here. I was wandering around downtown today just pass the lunch hour, thinking of trying something new, when the bright yellow ‘Etta wagon caught my eye. For those of you who don’t know the story of ‘Etta,… Continue reading Portland, OR – Violetta Redux
Amsterdam, NL – Food Carts
One thing there is no shortage of in Amsterdam, (in addition to coffee shops and cheese) – is food carts. Not as culinary diverse as Portland’s, nevertheless, you’ll see them on nearly any vacant corner, as well as in the plethora of neighborhood markets. They sell hot dogs, kabobs, herring sandwiches, croquettes, sausages, and other… Continue reading Amsterdam, NL – Food Carts
Portland, OR – Fried Onion Portland (Food Cart)
Can a New Yawker successfully peddle a Chicago hot dog to Portlanders? One stop at the Fried Onion will make you coo an utter “oh, yes!” The Fried Onion is another newcomer on the scene, and in a slightly unlikely location, NW Raleigh between 22nd and 23rd. (Actually midway in the block on Raleigh). Update:… Continue reading Portland, OR – Fried Onion Portland (Food Cart)
Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)
Couldn’t wait to try this one, after reading other descriptions of it online. Stella’s is a new cart at the 3rd & Stark pod, actually right on Stark, and they offer elaborate burger and pulled meat sandwiches. And one sausage. The payphone parked right in front of the cart might come in handy if you’re… Continue reading Portland, OR – Stella’s Twisted Burgers (Food Cart)
Portland, Or – Espresso Giuseppe/Cardinal Coffee
Checked out one of Portland’s new “food carts”, the mobile coffee unit of Espresso Giuseppe, now safely ensconced daily at 69th and Belmont in the Mt. Tabor neighorhood. E.G. serves the whole gamut of coffee drinks, italian sodas, and yummy fresh-baked goods; coffee is locally roasted from Cardinal Coffee. Cardinal can deliver directly to your… Continue reading Portland, Or – Espresso Giuseppe/Cardinal Coffee
Portland, Or – Jean’s Hot Dogs on the Square
A modest suggestion to those food vendors who write and say “Hey, why don’t you visit my place,” well, I may, I might, but (hint, hint), you should stay open the hours that are stated on your website/blog/tweets. I kinda take them literally and believe that you actually mean it. I may pass by again,… Continue reading Portland, Or – Jean’s Hot Dogs on the Square
