 Foodista Heads to Portland for IACP

EAT MOBILE “It was like being at a night market in a foreign country with all these different food choices, except that I was in downtown Portland.” Those were the words of my husband Mark as he tried to explain the breadth of food carts that have taken over the city of Portland.  I have been to Portland on and off over the years and have seen several food carts, but according to Mark, who was in Portland last weekend, the current food cart scene is unreal.
