The 18 Best Food Carts In Portland 2024

"Nob Hill’s Farmer and the Beast is Portland in a nutshell—beautiful seasonal salads that showcase the bounty of local produce (farm of origin noted, naturally) and a killer smashburger. In the spring, you might find arugula tossed with snap peas, grapefruit, rye croutons, peppery almond crunch, ricotta, and a preserved lemon vinaigrette, and sandwiches where homegrown asparagus is the star. The Beast Burger will make a believer out of you with its juicy patties made from fattier-than-usual ground beef. Add american cheese, special sauce, and Franz seeded buns, and you have a double smashburger that ranks among the city’s finest, food cart or otherwise. It's available no matter the season." - krista garcia
