Chili dog. Despite there being several places to get hot dogs and sausages from food carts in Portland, surprisingly few of them offer chili dogs.
I wandered aimlessly today, not sure what I wanted, and came across Olympic Grill, just across the street from Ankeny's Well.
They feature Philly Cheesesteaks quite prominently, along with Chicago style hot dogs, chips, and soda.
It was about 11:30am, they were open, and I was third in line - the people ahead of me appeared to be regulars who had been here often.
We were admiring a green couch on the sidewalk in front of the cart that had mysteriously appeared overnight. The owner was friendly and talkative and very hard at work creating sandwiches for everyone, while discussing the fate of the mystery couch.
Everything on the menu looked good, and I will have to come back and try the cheesesteak options in the near future.
In the mean time - the chili dog was great - for $5, it was a satisfying meal, topped with chili, onions, and mustard. It's getting harder and harder to find a $5 lunch from carts, but I'd recommend this one if you're feeling like having a good chili dog.
