Brunchbox - SW 5th and Oak/Stark - Trial by Fire!



Brunchbox is a cart that's been around a good while and has quite a following (and a recent feature on Eat Street) - Offering ridiculously compiled sandwich goodness in all sorts of varieties. As indicated by the word "Brunch," this cart serves breakfast sandwiches (all day) and lunch.

They're also apparently quite tech-savvy, having a rather impressive website, Facebook, and Twitter presence... no need for me to tell you about their menu when you can see it in all its glory here:

Naturally, they have a Big Kahuna burger. "That is a tasty burger!"

They offer many sandwiches with "Texas Toast" instead of a standard bun, and you can request it on the standard bun sandwiches, as well.

Speaking of Texas Toast, they do a grilled PB&J with Oregon blackberry jam - which I'm sure many people will find quite intriguing. Another thing of note, this is probably one of the most "kid-friendly" carts there are in Portland -- aside from the PB&J, the "Cheezasaurus Rex" -- A grilled cheese sandwich shaped like a dinosaur, also available as a PB&J.

Probably a good pick for parents bringing their kids out to try out cart food.

Since I love spicy stuff, the Trial by Fire was my pick for today - this thing is LOADED with beef, bacon, lettuce, onions, ketchup, mayo, and - best of all - Secret Aardvark sauce (a habanero based hot sauce local to Oregon)

I sat at my desk dripping this thing off my hands and chin voraciously and had it down in all of about five minutes - putting the sandwich down only twice during the experience -- the Aardvark sauce has that addictive quality of many spicy foods that keeps you craving more and more until there's nothing left.

Now, off to wash my hands and get this sauce out of my facial hair...
