Portland has over 500 food carts, some clustered into pods in parking lots, and others staking their solitary claim on the sidewalk.
Artisanal, quirky, indepenent and an exceptionay good value, these carts are in many ways the perfect symbol of what Portland is all about.
Authors Kelley and Kelly explore the factors that have made Portland a street-food utopia, documenting the personality and character of a lot of the carts.
Much more than a directory of carts, it really goes into the history and personal stories behind what makes the food on wheels revolution turn.
