I was curious as to why people would stand in line day after day to get something as mundane as chicken and rice, when there were so many more interesting dishes at other food carts. The dish is Khao Man Gai, or Thai Chicken and Rice. I had heard that this particular food cart served only ONE dish, and that there were always long lines of people at the cart to buy it. However, I had so much trouble remembering the name of it (it's kind of a mouthful, you must admit), that I never got there. One of the food carts I had always wanted to try was Nong's Khao Man Gai. My dog Otto LOVES going to the food carts, as they provide him with an excellent opportunity to hoover up any errant ingredients that might have fallen out of someone's sandwich/burrito/burger/salad/gyro/wrap/dumpling. Since food cart pods are scattered throughout the city, they are the cheapest, easiest, and most convenient way to eat lunch when you're on the run - or just taking a leisurely walk with your dog. Portland is renowned for its legendary food carts, and they are even more popular in the summer when it's not raining here. I've been on a food cart binge this week.
