Chicken and Guns

"A food cart that promises to satisfy, especially on a budget." - Vicki Denig

"With wood-fired whole birds and dips like chimichurri and habanero carrot sauce, this Hawthorne food cart doesn’t exactly do traditional chicken and jojos. But the “guns” in question — crispy potatoes, seasoned with lemon and sea salt, and served with pickled onions and creamy Peruvian aji sauce — are a welcome alternative to the usual." - Krista Garcia

"Portland’s own pollo a la brasa cart at the longstanding pod Cartopia, Chicken and Guns has opened its second cart on SE 82nd, with one notable twist: The Chicken & Guns at CORE only serves wings as opposed to quarter-birds, with add-ons like fried eggs, pork belly, and tacu-tacu. The cart’s roster of sauces is at the new cart, too." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Chicken & Guns food cart co-owner Dustin Knox called the police on a black customer named Kevin Raysor. It was reported that Knox asked Raysor to leave while he was waiting for Chicken & Guns to open and then called 911 on him, claiming Raysor was 'yelling racial slurs' and threatening to beat up a landscaper near the food cart pod. Raysor, however, denies these accusations and says he was simply waiting for the cart to open. The incident has led to Knox being placed on leave." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Chicken & Guns has put its co-owner Dustin Knox on leave after an incident at the Cartopia food cart pod last week. Knox allegedly asked a black patron, Kevin Raysor, to leave for 'loitering.'" - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
