The warm, gooey, cheesy bread reminded me a little of the pupusa’s I devoured in El Salvador. This was my first time trying khachapuri, the national dish of Georgia. BrownĬontinuing on our food cart journey, we meandered over to Kargi Gogo, which means “good girl” in Georgian. READ Ocean House Newport Oregon Review Georgian cheese bread at Kargi Gogo. Our group sampled one sandwich between us and had me dreaming of returning to this food cart located on Ninth & Alder.
Owners Sam Mouzon and Matt Schiffman have staked their claim on hand-carved pastrami sandwiches served on marbled rye bread. You know you’re in trouble when your mouth starts watering at the thought of the words “Steak Your Claim” pastrami. My personal favorite, the 18-year-old traditional balsamic vinegar. Benessere Olive Oils & Vinegars was cool because you could taste everything before purchase. We have our share of high-quality olive oil producers in nearby wine country.
Having recently returned from a cacao plantation tour in El Salvador, I appreciate that Cacao takes great care in sourcing their chocolate beans.Īs some of you may know, I lived in Northern California for most of my life. Of course, you can shop their products online, too. The company, established in 2006, has two Portland locations for your chocolate drinking and noshing pleasure. Our first stop took us to Cacao Drink Chocolate (permanently closed) inside the Heathman Hotel. We were a group of four fast walkers on this particular tour eight to nine stops is the norm. Our Epicurean Excursion took us to nine locations. Their philosophy is simple – FLOSS – fresh, local, organic, sustainable and seasonal. Portlanders take their food seriously, but not themselves. Averaging between 650-700 food carts, Portland is considered to be the food cart capital of the United States. On a recent visit, I was fortunate to join her on an Epicurean Excursion with Portland Walking Tours. When she’s not out hiking alongside fern covered trails and cascading waterfalls, she’s discovering new restaurants and neighborhoods. She loves her adopted state of Oregon and is exploring the Rose City as thoroughly as a Labrador Retriever on the trail of a bird scent.
