The Best Food Carts in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"“It’s in the parking lot behind the strip club,” is how you know a food rec is going to either be really bad or exceptionally good. Thai Champa falls into the latter category, and the longstanding Thai cart has been the secret weapon for Burnside bar crawlers for more than a decade. These days the menu is pretty pared down, but everything on there’s a hitter. The convivial husband and wife duo behind the counter are half the appeal, and best of all the cart is open till midnight, an increasing rarity in early-to-bed Portland. Fair warning: If you’re not a Hot Ones fan even the medium spice level may leave you weeping in the aforementioned strip club parking lot." - Ben Coleman
