Life got in the way..and cart love.

Of today's MoFo post.

I did technically post something today, but it was to Stumptown Vegans.

You can check out the new review of the I Love Thai Food cart downtown here.

Sometimes I think about posting a current list of my top Portland eateries, since so many folks inquire and our Top Ten List in Herbivore's Travel Edition is from almost year ago.

Today I do have enough time to talk quickly discuss carts I'm fond of.

In case you were wondering, my favorite Portland food carts include:

• Potato Champion - late night Belgian frites in SE! Vegenaise! Vegan poutine (even if I'm not a fan..)
  
• Taqueria Los Gorditos - do I need to explain? The nachos knock me out, though I'm usually happy with Beans + Rice + Avocado for $4 with chips instead of tortillas. They're working on opening an all vegan cart in SE in the future! Soyrizo!!!
• Sip: Milkshake season is over but they're making special hot cocoas and daily soup is coming.
• Tastebud Pita at the Farmer's Markets - just make sure it's a basil pesto, not cilantro day if you're a hater like me. love their whole chickpea hummus and devotion to seasonal produce. they bake pitas in their wood fired oven on site! fyi: their bagels are boiled in honey.
  
• Toddbot's Triangles - O-nigiri! Todd's the sweetest ever and for $2.50, satisfies hunger with his adorable, salty rice triangle bargains.
• The Whole Bowl - no dairy, no cilantro, extra sauce! I'm usually gifted extra avocado as well, holla.
• Al Forno Ferruzza - Excellent pizza crust located by PSU that I haven't had in ages. What? The fresh toppings are simple, the dipping sauce is perfect, but the Sicilan style crust is the star.
• India Chaat House - it's probably world renowned! $5.50 = eat for what seems like forever.

Portland Food Carts website (not vegan specific FYI).

Obligatory vegan food cart porn:
