For those of you who have visited Portland as of late, you likely have seen that Portland has an energetic and flourishing road food scene. It’s glaringly obvious since north of 580 food trucks have sprung up in void parcels all through the city. At the point when Abbie and I visited Portland last week, we were promptly dazzled with the variety of food varieties being served. Everything from Thai, to Vietnamese, to smaller than usual doughnuts, franks, tacos, pulled pork, broil hamburger, and substantially more are presented inside a 2 block region in midtown Portland. We made one circle to study the contributions, and following a fast second stroll around the block, I was unable to hold on to open up my discoveries. My duck confit loaf from Addy’s Sandwich Bar liquefied in my mouth with duck fat flavor while my poached chicken with rice was so great it distorted me back to the roads of Bangkok.
