"While most head to Jojo for its eponymous potato wedges, its towering cheeseburgers deserve equal attention. It’s hard to go wrong with the classic cheeseburger, topped with Jojo sauce, American cheese, and the usual accouterments, but those looking for something with a little more kick can try the spicy cheeseburger with a hot sauce-spiked mayonnaise instead. The Mr. Onion cheeseburger offers another compelling option with white onions, caramelized onions, fried shallots, and chives — probably best eaten with a mint or few on deck." - Rebecca Roland
"It didn’t take long for this bright blue food cart to gain some serious traction in the city. Despite its origins in a fairly rundown parking lot — which is now a dedicated food cart pod with an adjoining market — Jojo’s fanbase quickly grew due to its golden-hued fried chicken sandwiches. The Southern fried chicken is the right move for first-timers but those wanting a little more flair can move on to the spicy chicken, which gets the addition of pepper relish, Crystal honey, and Alabama white mustard sauce. Vegetarians aren’t left out of the deep-fried goodness; Jojo breads Ota tofu for fried tofu sandwiches with similar fixings to the fried chicken counterparts. The whole affair is completed with an order of crispy, golden jojos that lend the cart its name." - Alex Frane
"One dish we’d nominate to represent the Pacific Northwest are jojos. Nobody does the thick-cut, deep-fried, and battered potato wedges better than this SE Powell food cart (they have a sit-down restaurant in the Pearl District). They’re not relegated to just a side here, though, as you can get them loaded with cheese and one of their ten different sauces (go with the jojo sauce, a blend of Duke’s mayo and ketchup). Despite the cart’s name, they also make a standout spicy chicken sandwich with pepper relish, honey, and alabama white mustard sauce that puts Popeye’s to shame." - krista garcia
