"This Rose City outpost of the Vancouver, Washington barbecue staple opened at Cartside Food Carts on North Williams Avenue in September. Here, you can expect the same quality Central Texas barbecue that’s rarer to find in Portland, including plates like the “Texas Trinity” with sliced brisket, spare ribs, and sausage served alongside two sides (white bread slices, pickles, and onions are available upon request). A step-up order, the “Smoke Stack,” adds pulled pork. Diners not in the mood for a tray of ‘cue can go with fatty brisket sandwiches, nachos topped with brisket or pulled pork, and Frito pie; vegetarian diners will have access to things like buffalo cauliflower, a smoked beet salad, and a smoked portobello mushroom sandwich." - Paolo Bicchieri
