Discover Portland’s historic, off-the-beaten-path Central Eastside neighborhood with your local guide and chat with food cart owners that you visit along the way. Visit one of Portland’s first food cart pods for fresh-cut fries with cheese and gravy, a Canadian staple. Get your health on with fried cauliflower and fresh slaw from a Lebanese owned food cart. Devour made-from-scratch Belgian waffles topped with local ingredients and served warm at one of the city’s most popular dessert carts.

The tour was completely worth it. Herb gave us insight to things we would have never known about Portland and the food evolution there. He also selected options we might not have ordered had we done it ourselves. Appreciated the small group, good food, overall great day!
