Cuban Pork Sandwich - The People's Pig - SW 9th and Alder

It's been a while since I've blogged, and it's also been a while since I ventured very far for cart food. The nice weather today did help. Though I've already posted a blog about this cart, I am more than happy to bring up The People's Pig again. Though you're not going to necessarily find a huge menu full of items, what you *will* find are superbly crafted pork sandwiches from someone who really knows how to make great pork sandwiches. Typically, there are 2-3 options on the menu to choose from.
Today, I had the Cuban with Mojo sauce - the pork was cut into thick, tender slices, topped with cabbage and jalapenos - I had to make an effort to slow down and enjoy it a little more, because I was resisting putting it down before another bite. The sandwich is huge, more than enough -- but I also ate every crumb, it was that good.

The People's Pig is certainly my very favorite pork-themed cart, and there are some really good ones here in Portland.
