My name is Rosalia and I am on a mission to devour Portland's food. By eating at as many food carts, I hope to extend my awareness of both numerous cuisines and Portland culture, as well as to indulge my taste buds. At the end I am wondering if I will be able to narrow down to one favorite cart I have in Portland or not. Only time and food will tell.
The street food movement has become a widespread phenomenon in cities around the country and world. Buying food on the streets creates a new way to consume food that is readily available for those on the sidewalks. Infinite amounts of different types of cuisine make Portland a diverse attraction for food. Thai, Lebanese, Mexican, seafood, and burgers, you see it all on the streets of Portland.
- -My food cart partner-in-crime: Teeter, my mom, who will help me to devour food and drink along the way.
- -A term that will be quite commonly used is: carting
- -Carting: (verb) To go and eat food from food carts.
- -I will be attempting to not repeat a cart until a majority of carts have been eaten at. This is subject to change though.
- -A note about my food intake is that I am a vegetarian. One of those strict vegetarians, none of this, "Oh I am a vegetarian, but I eat fish." Not really, but it will be difficult for me to try to eat at carts that have strictly meat options, but this is not the situation very often.
- -Besides my food intake, my interests vary. I am an avid ultimate Frisbee player. I joined my high school team and hope to continue in college. I am very into making people believe that Frisbee is indeed an actual sport.
- -Besides food, I am very interested in music. I enjoy finding new bands and hearing what others have to say about their favorite bands.
