Burgers, tots, burritos, and hot dogs with creative toppings
"While primarily a burger-focused food cart at the Lot at Scout Beer, Dog House PDX is a breakfast burrito must for those in the know. A distinguishing factor is the variety of ingredients that go beyond egg, cheese, potato, and meat. The burritos all start with eggs and tots, then offer options including the Dank and Delicious, with grilled mushrooms and onions with blue cheese; the Cheezilla with multiple cheeses, Italian sausage, and spicy and garlic-truffle aiolis; and the super-packed Love Actually with bacon, Italian sausage, cheddar cheese, avocado, grilled mushrooms and onions, jalapenos, and herb aioli. All of them can be enjoyed to-go, out on the patio, or in the tap house." - Ben Coleman
"Tucked in the back corner of Southeast Division’s busy Lot food pod, the Dog House is a perennial favorite, specializing in tender, beer-braised hot dogs with generously loaded, spicy condiments and equally generous service. The wide-ranging menu — including burgers, burritos, and Tater Tot bowls — is longer than most carts, but nothing is given short shrift, so expect a bit of a wait as orders are prepared. The extensive vegan menu includes Field Roast versions of their main dogs as well as a handful of vegan specials. The Lot has limited seating for a large number of carts, so on busier days prepare to opt for takeout." - Nathan Williams
"This Division Street food cart is a must-visit for anyone who needs more potato products in their life. At The Doghouse PDX, hot dogs and burgers share menu space with multiple tot bowls. Naughty in Nogales is the closest in construction to totchos, using pepper jack, onions, and jalapeños, but the grilled pineapple, bacon, and spicy aioli takes humble tots to the next level. Other versions include the Truffle Treasure, an umami blast of garlic truffle aioli and truffle oil, seasoned with chanterelle salt, and the Seoulmates, which incorporates homemade gochujang, avocado, sesame oil, and chili salt." - Janey Wong
"Lobster Dogs laughs in the face of the great butter vs. mayo debate, insisting diners can have it both ways. A swipe of mayo is applied inside their toasted split-top bun, and the lobster roll is drizzled with warm butter. Seafood lovers will appreciate the “ultimate dog,” which contains lobster, crab, and shrimp. Each order comes with a bag of chips. This North Carolina-based chain expanded to Portland this spring, popping up at local businesses in and around Portland in its roving food cart. For a weekly schedule, visit the cart’s Instagram page." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
