However, of all things going on in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Portland-Hotels.d178299.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Portland<\/a>, perhaps nothing better sums up this progressive hipster nirvana better than the city\u2019s food carts. Portland\u2019s a place where all things mass produced are rejected and if it\u2019s mainstream it\u2019s not cool. If you&#8217;ve never partaken you&#8217;re in for a treat, literally. Here are 6 reasons why Portland&#8217;s food cartsreally are worth the trip alone:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2015\/04\/15-things-never-say-portlander\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Also: 15 things never to say to a Portlander<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46879\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46879\" class=\"wp-image-46879 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-9.jpg\" alt=\"Orbitz-Portland food Carts-Getting Stamped-9\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-9.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-9-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-9-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-9-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-46879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cart after cart of unique food!

The rise of the food carts in Portland is a relatively new phenomenon. At the end of the last decade, as the economy spiraled into the gutter, a few creative citizens\u00a0decided to hit the streets with their own unique food carts. The low start-up cost and lax zoning laws of the city made it possible. With so many carts, it\u2019s tough to even know where to begin. If it\u2019s your first trip to the city, try a Portland\u00a0Food Carts and Neighborhood Tour from eatadventures.com\u00a0to help you navigate the expansive food map.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46871\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46871\" class=\"wp-image-46871 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-1.jpg\" alt=\"Orbitz-Portland food Carts-Getting Stamped-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-1-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-1-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-46871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 12-ingredent Thai salad prepared to perfection and served streetside (Carte Blanche, 3207 SE Hawthorne Blvd) | Photo courtesy of GettingStamped.com<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 165px;\">Insanely good food<\/h3>\n<p>Just having an obscene amount of food carts in the city isn\u2019t really what makes it noteworthy.

All around the city, parking lots were transformed from a place to leave your car to mobile food courts, or as they coined them in Portland \u2018pods\u2019. Each pod is like it\u2019s own little community. Many pods have rules like that only one of each type of restaurant is allowed in each pod because it\u2019s more about community rather than competition. Like many small businesses they depend on the success of the carts around them for their success. The power of having several restaurants in one spot allows them to have more facilities and some can even serve some of Portland&#8217;s great beers.<\/p>\n<p>[aesop_gallery id=&#8221;46885&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>In a lot of ways, the food carts of Portland truly embody what the city is all about:They\u2019re local, they\u2019re passionate, and of course a little quirky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34233\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/blogCTA.ORB_Rewards_GetItUseIt_onad_500x150_20150424.jpg\" alt=\"Orbitz Rewards\" width=\"500\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/blogCTA.ORB_Rewards_GetItUseIt_onad_500x150_20150424.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/blogCTA.ORB_Rewards_GetItUseIt_onad_500x150_20150424-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/blogCTA.ORB_Rewards_GetItUseIt_onad_500x150_20150424-400x120.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"nc_pixel\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.newscred.com\/px.gif?key=YXJ0aWNsZT1hYWEyYjkxMzk2ZjdhMDUzODQ0YWJkMWZlYTVmNGM4YQ==\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to amazeballs bites served curbside, PDX rules hardest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":170,"featured_media":46878,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1708],"class_list":["post-46868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-portland-vacations"],"acf":{"api_active":null,"api_title":null,"api_excerpt":null,"api_featured_image":null,"api_lob":null},"posts_api_cpm_point":[{"name":"","description":"","thumbnail":"","address":"Oregon, USA","latitude":"43.8041334","longitude":"-120.55420119999997","icon":"\/images\/icons\/marker.png"}],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Here&#039;s why Portland&#039;s food cart scene is the best on earth | Orbitz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/the-portland-food-cart-scene-is-worth-the-trip-alone-and-heres-why\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Here&#039;s why Portland&#039;s food cart scene is the best on earth | Orbitz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"When it comes to amazeballs bites served curbside, PDX rules hardest.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/the-portland-food-cart-scene-is-worth-the-trip-alone-and-heres-why\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Orbitz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Orbitz\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-08-23T17:45:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-02-27T16:59:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Orbitz-Portland-food-Carts-Getting-Stamped-8.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"705\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"470\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Hannah &amp;
