A fellow food enthusiast, T. W. Barrit was in Portland a couple of weeks ago checking out wine country, local restaurants, spirits and, yes, food carts. I took him around, showing him the pods downtown and we enjoyed a great lunch from Ziba's Pitas and a chat. He wrote a great article on his site
Culinary Types.
