Perhaps you’ve heard of the Slow Food movement, perhaps you haven’t. It began in Italy as a response and reaction to the rise of fast food, supermarkets and large scale processed food. This movement promotes food consumption and production based on the simple principles of good, clean, fair and local products.

On any given midday in downtown Portland, the rich wafting smells of lunch service fill the streets, especially surrounding the foodcart “pods” housed in converted parking lots. My favorite pod, hands down, takes up an entire city block, sitting between SW 9th and 10th, and SW Alder and SW Washington. This pod is filled with amazing food carts- succulent barbeque pulled pork, “eurotrash” sandwiches and an italian food cart owned by a Portland Timber player.
