Discover the vibrant flavors of Guyana at Bake On The Run, where welcoming service meets delightful bakes stuffed with savory fillings and unique vegan options.
"This mother-son-run food cart on Stark is essentially an educational center for Guyanese cuisine, with lengthy descriptions and context for each dish posted on the cart’s facade. Here, fluffy “bakes” — fry breads — arrive stuffed with delicately seasoned saltfish or earthy chana aloo, served alongside dishes that emphasize the various cultural influences on the country’s cuisine; for instance, chow mein can come smothered in potato-chicken curry or dal. For dessert, get a bake filled with seasonal jam." - Janey Wong
"Mother-son duo Bibi and Michael Singh celebrate the cuisine of Guyana, underrepresented not only in Portland’s restaurant scene but also in the country, at their food cart within the Central Eastside pod Wonderlove. Here, the Singhs emphasize the culinary influences on the South American country — particularly the Indian and Chinese influences — with dishes like a creamy house dal and chow mein made with imported Guyanese noodles; however, the true draw of this cart is its namesake bakes: fluffy pockets arrive filled with everything from salt cod to Nutella, though the bake stuffed with chana aloo, where layers of garlic and ginger intermingle with Guyanese curry powder and tender chickpeas, is Portland food cart dining at its finest." - Eater Staff
"Before this popular family-run cart arrived in Portland, bakes, puffy fry bread sliced and studded with Guyanese curries and hash, were pretty much nonexistent in the city. Now, this Caribbean staple at the new Wonderlove pod in Buckman has won over locals, likely because they’re delicious, filling, and the broader menu is vegetarian-friendly. We recommend the more traditional scrambled egg and shredded salt cod bake or chana aloo, chickpeas and potatoes seasoned with spicy curry powder—just don’t forget a drizzle of Chef Bibi’s Famous Peppersauce, a yellow condiment that’s more piquant than blistering." - Krista Garcia
