"Chef Jeff Larson runs this food cart, located within the Nob Hill Food Carts pod, nailing both colorful salads and hardcore smash burgers. Farmer and the Beast concentrates on Portland produce from farms like Sauvie Island Growers and Our Table farms, tossed in punchy vinaigrettes with Oregon-grown grains and seasonal meat and fish. The double smash burger has made some of Portland’s best lists; however, the salads, such as the current strawberry-fennel salad, should not be skipped. Farmer and the Beast offers outdoor seating in the food cart pod, as well as takeout." - Alex Frane, Maya MacEvoy
