Tabor - SW 5th and Stark - Schnitzelwich!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls of both sexes - I proudly present to you, the Schnitzelwich.
-
The name of this cart is "Tabor - Authentic Czech Cuisine" - but everyone knows it as the Schnitzelwich cart.

Their signature sandwich is HUGE, and absolutely amazing. I've pictured it, partially eaten, next to a Diet Coke can for size reference.

You can get it 'traditional' with breaded pork, or with chicken. It comes on a toasted ciabatta bun, with lettuce, horseradish, and a paprika spread.

Positive reviews for this sandwich and cart date back to 2006, this is one of Portland's most successful food carts... having been featured in local magazines, national reviews, placing in top 10 lists of America's best food carts -- you know, little things like that.

Aside from the spectacular Schnitzelwich, they feature daily soups, spaetzel, goulash, potato pancakes, muenster cheese sanwiches, sausages, and more.

If you have limited time to try out food carts, this is a "Must See" while in town.

I am very much a fan of this sandwich, the crispy schnitzel, the horseradish, the crisp lettuce - all of it combines to make a dangerously tasty meal that's hard to put down, despite being enormous*.

* Today, I noticed they've now started offering "half" Schnitzelwiches for $5, and for many people - this will be more than enough meal.

BBQ Pork with Rice and Kimchi - A Taste of Korea - SW 3rd and Stark

It's a very rainy day today, and I didn't want to travel far, yet I also wanted to try a cart I've not been to. There is a Korean cart, "A Taste of Korea" - conveniently located in the pod on SW 3rd between Stark and Washington.

All their dishes are displayed with full color photographs, which is helpful, but can also leave you standing there drooling on yourself for a good ten minutes before placing your order.

Spicy BBQ Pork for me today, please. Looks delicious.
Within 5 minutes, I was handed an extremely heavy container of rice, BBQ pork, noodles, and Kimchi (or gimchi, kimchee, or kim chee, depending on who you talk to) - plus a small salad with dressing.

$6, and definitely enough food for two meals.

Spicy, flavorful, delicious - all of it. If it weren't for the fact that there was SO much food, I'd have been upset that I ran out of Kimchi so quickly, as this was the best I've had, ever... cleverly hidden in a small condiment cup alongside the other items. Mmm. I even poured the remaining 'juices' over my noodles to keep the flavor train running.

I'm impressed. Good stuff, good prices, friendly service... and another cart I can say "wow, I can't believe I didn't try this out sooner..."
