Food carts are one of my favorite parts of Portland. To some, food carts are synonymous with roach coaches; but here in PDX, they are kicked up about 100 notches. You can find anything you could possibly want: soup, vegan sushi, pizza, hamburgers, even beer! A few of my faves would be:
Flavour Spot for sausage waffle goodness
Grilled Cheese Grill for the sinful Moondog
Koi Fusion for spicy pork tacos (hold the cilantro, please)
Whiffies Fried Pies for the vegan mounds (coconut cream and chocolate chips)
However, there is nothing on any of their menus that is SIBO friendly ... trust me, I've looked. I miss food carts. And living in NE Portland, you can't walk a mile in any direction without running into one. It's really depressing.
But there is one that I can go to, and I frequent it every weekend - plus, sometimes during the week if I can leave the house early enough. And it is also in walking distance - just a few blocks from my house. It is called Dogfeathers - they don't sell food; instead, they sell coffee and juice. And the juice is amazing! Everything is freshly squeezed to order while you wait.
My summer drink of choice was the Oggy Doggy (peach, strawberry, and apple juice) with ginger. Now that peach season is over, I think I have finally decided on the Portland Sunshine (apple, orange, strawberry, and ginger) with blueberries. But with any of the drinks, you can't go wrong! And Ian and Jennifer will gladly make suggestions and substitutions to make your drink just perfect!
So until my gut bugs are dead and gone, my food cart of choice will be Dogfeathers. And once the gut bugs are dead and gone, I will still go to Dogfeathers, but as an extra goodness for something to drink for my Koi Fusion tacos. (Both are conveniently located in the same pod at NE Mississippi and Skidmore.)
