Food Food Everywhere



Portland is a food lovers city, filled with restaurants and shops specializing in exotic spices, oils and balsamic vinegars, who knew there were over 20 types of balsamic vinegar? Portland also has the Food Carts, over 600 of them located in various pods around the city. We saw Polish, Middle Eastern, Italian, Mexican, Thai, Indian, Cuban, even Scotish food carts, all painted bright colors. The one stipulation the city makes, is they have to be moveable, they cannot be permanent structures. One of the top chef's in Portland recently opened his own cart. We went on a food tour of Portland and our guide told us that the dream of many of the students in the various culinary schools located in Portland, is to have a cart of their own someday. The curry I ordered was enough for 2-3 people and cost $5.00. It is hard to beat that.
