Where to Find Serious Soul Food in Portland, Oregon - Eater Portland

"This bright yellow cart has only been in operation since the beginning of 2020, but it has already developed a stellar reputation for its boiled peanuts, catfish, and array of chicken wings. Many visit the cart for her chicken or vegan soy protein wings, be it buffalo bacon ranch or the ATL — Atlanta-style chicken wings in a saucy lemon-pepper glaze. All of the wings are fantastic, but an alternate move here is to go for the knockout smothered chicken in a deep mushroom gravy, with a few sides of collards and mac and cheese. Erica’s recently moved from Southeast 82nd to Northeast Russell — watch out for maps or guides with the old address. With frequent catering bookings, be sure to check the Instagram account before heading over." - Ron Scott, Nathan Williams
