Everyone loves a good deal right? Well, now is your chance to get a good deal at some food carts who are partnering with Groupon to save you some cash. If you don’t know, Groupon is service that uses crowd purchasing power to create a deal – usually 50% off an item or a two-for-one deal. The goal is to get the business some new customers along with introducing many to something they may not have tried before. I know Groupon has taken me to some new restaurants in my neighborhood I wouldn’t have known about if it hadn’t been for the deal.
Welcome to Food Cart day with Groupon. Today, you’ll be able to get some excellent Groupons from the following street vendors:
Oregon Ice Works: Located at SE 32nd and Division, this cart owned and operated by Kevin Bell is serving up traditional Italian Ice like he grew up on in Philadelphia as a kid. With flavors like Meyer Lemon, Mango, Sour Cherry and many more, how can you go wrong on a warm spring/summer afternoon.
Wolf and Bear’s: Located at the corner of SE 20th and Morrison, this cart offers up some of the best falafel sandwiches in town. Drawing from their Israeli and Iraqi influences, this cart has created a following that supports them even after a winter break. A great vegetarian and gluten-free alternative to the food cart scene in Portland.
Cool Harry’s Yogurt: Located at SW 10th and Alder right at the epicenter of the Alder cart pod, Cool Harry’s is the only cart among 35 that sells dessert treats. Every day, Cool Harry’s tweets a secret word to get free toppings on frozen yogurt with signature flavors like lime, pomegranate or hibiscus.
PBJ’s Grilled: Every kid in the city wants to go to this cart located at NW 23rd and Kearney. Who wouldn’t want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich grilled up with a banana or maybe some bacon and blue cheese. The options are endless and tasty for kids of any age.
Rip City Grill: South Waterfront has some great towers, but few restaurants and only one food cart located at SW Moody and Abernathy. Clint, master of the grill, services up amazing and rather large tri-tip steak sandwiches to any and all comers. Get one el caliente with grilled onions and jalapenos if you dare.
Robb’s Really Good Food: A new cart located at SE 52nd and Foster, Robb’s specializes in chili’s and meats cooked with local microbrew. His beer chili with cornbread is a favorite and was featured at the recent Spring Beer and Wine Festival. Also check out his pulled pork sandwiches.
Portland Soup Company: One of the most beautifully crafted carts in the city, the food matches look of the cart – professional and stunning. Located at SW 4th and Hall, Jeremy, the man behind the counter, creates some extra special treats like the pork butt sandwich or his signature applewood smoked trout chowder. Have you enjoyed a pork butt today?
Off the Griddle: Located at SE 50th and Ivon, just south of Division, this cart is in the A la Carts food pod which sports about 10 carts, covered and heated seating and live music on occasion. Off the Griddle focuses their talents on vegetarian and vegan burgers made fresh daily from scratch. Most of their items are also gluten free. If you go, be sure to order a side of Yukon fries, they are to die for.
Chili Inside/Chili Outside: One of a few carts in NW Portland, this cart at NW 19th and Quimby make traditional Texas chili with plenty of meat. One of only a few carts in town where you can pick up traditional Frito Pie – and they serve it in the Frito bag to keep it real. Cornbread also – ain’t nothin’ wrong with that!
