Mississippi Marketplace

"The Prost Marketplace pod, next to the North Portland German beer bar, is home to a number of carts consistently serving lunch. Desi’s bowls of yellow-hued basmati rice, topped with tandoori tempeh, cardamom-chai chicken, or masala pulled pork, deliver a multifaceted mid-week meal. Matt’s BBQ easily makes some of the city’s best brisket, available a la carte by the half-pound or chopped in a sandwich with pickles and slaw. Prost Marketplace is home to ample covered and heated seating within the pod." - Rebecca Roland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"No food and booze crawl along North Mississippi Avenue can be considered complete without a stop at the cluster of elite food carts surrounding German bar Prost. The food pod features ample covered, heated seating; a roaring gas fire pit; and — of course — access to the brick-and-mortar Prost, beloved for its pretzels and bratwursts but welcoming of food from pod neighbors. Carts of note include the original Matt’s BBQ, Lao-Thai-Vietnamese fusion White Elephant, Desi PDX’s creative Indian American fare, and Bloodbuzz’s killer combo of coffee, beer, and affordable cocktails." - Nathan Williams

And for those who would rather repeat breakfast than move on to lunch fare, Fried Egg I’m in Love is open daily with pesto-slathered egg sandwiches. Prost Marketplace is home to ample covered and heated seating within the pod." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"After shopping through Mississippi’s numerous boutiques, pop by Prost Marketplace for a lunch of Portland’s best brisket." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Saxena says that some days, at the Prost Marketplace food pod, it feels like any other year. 'On the weekends, there are definitely moments of ‘What pandemic?,’' he says. 'The pod can be insanely busy, and our sales are comparable to last year.'" - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
