24 HOURS Eating ONLY at FOOD TRUCKS in Portland Oregon

[@aaronlee1060]

Born and raised in Portland. Shouts to Mikey for showing love to our food cart scene. It’s really the scrappy DIY soul of Portland! ❤

[@GluteusMaximus21]

I’ve always wanted to eat my street food next to a druggy. 😂 Just be careful to step over the needles on the ground. 😂😂😂😂

[@somefreshbread]

@@GluteusMaximus21 Aw how cute - the Russian AI thinks slagging on Portland is still the agenda.

[@erikl85]

@@GluteusMaximus21 Imagine being so influenced by right wing media that you think that's actually a concern. Sure there's a problem in Portland, like most places, but it's very much concentrated in a few places.

[@BWpepperr]

@@erikl85it’s pretty rampant in the city though…to your point, it’s true that it’s not everywhere, but far more present in various areas than some may think.

[@renttecca]

Thanks for coming to visit us here! We love you Mikey!

[@smirnovski]

as a slav, so cool to see slavic food in these types of videos -- feel like slavic food never gets the rep it deserves lol

[@gambar]

@@F2D2C2 what do they have from Czech cuisine?

[@martiacallahan2247]

I’m not Slavic (clearly) but love Slavic & European food (spent several years in Germany and Greece.

[@wewd]

Come to Portland, we have a HUGE Slavic community here. Russian is the third most spoken language after English and Spanish here.

[@IamnotJokic]

One of the most bland cuisines there are 😂

[@smirnovski]

@@wewd i live in PA lol ! there's a large slavic population here, just not a lot of restaurants ( that i know of ) that reflect that

[@mikeobiwon]

I live in the Portland metro area, and have yet to try any of these places. Thank you Mike, for sharing, and I can't wait to try some of these establishments!

[@mimiio_o]

We just got back from Portland. The food options there are wild!! They have so many places to choose from and all types of foods from all over the world! Would love to go back!

[@tigerjonn]

This man is non stop... Korea, LA, Las Vegas, Japan, Portland, Seattle, Texas and all over the world... for seemingly years... I never seen this guy take a significant break..

[@audeamus7388]

[@jamalholligan1064]

As a Guyanese I'm glad to see him trying some of our dishes 🇬🇾

[@michaelblack7618]

Best looking food in this video!!

[@jICEYSkittles]

Trini dishes next!

[@CascadeKait]

As someone who has never tried Guyanese food what would you recommend trying? The food looks so good

[@CHEFPKR]

You are I my town?! Portland has some AMAZING hidden gems. Thanks for showing them off.

[@kyasmrtist]

You’re in Portland?!

[@nengthao5618]

Welcome to portland, oregon!! I'm glad you stopped by to enjoy the food around here. Theres way more food carts all over and so many MANY restaurants due to a wide variety of cultures! Enjoy and hope to see you around here if not today, some day soon!

[@allistrata]

While technically not in Portland proper, BG Food Cartel in Beaverton is a huge pod with a heated family friendly outside bar, seating inside, and tons of choices. My family loves Amazing Gyro. We make the 20 minute drive from north Portland sometimes just to eat there. They treat us like family and feed us well. 😊

[@katharinavonzitzewitz826]

Dear Mike- rather than the N°1 food- tester you are the N° 1* food- seller- listening to you how you describe the food transport your taste experience makes one want 😊to jump right into the screen and dig in!! It is so mouthdrooling...man have mercy with all us people far away from all these places🙏🏻😊

[@IAmSaveRio]

Hell yeah! Bari representing! Panzarotti not being more common is criminal, but it just guarantees anytime you get one, it's going to SLAP.

[@ycatvon]

Love the food truck scene. So much variety! Glad it’s cold. The food truck communities look so cozy. The Bari Bari truck was my favorite from the dough to the cannoli. I like the interviews with the owners. They are the visionaries. Bibi is so charismatic.

[@francesfishbaugh7884]

I live in Portland now and I feel like I would highkey be star struck to see my favorite food vlogger out and about!

[@cynthiacastillo9225]

So happy to see Portland food carts being recognized we have such amazing food here!

[@CairaLee]

Thank you for visiting us and showing our food cart population so much love 💜💜

[@erikl85]

Awesome video! Walter is a gem of a human being, I used to live a few blocks away from his original location and he'd always treat me like family.

[@christycreme1993]

Mole Mole is my favorite Mexican food in Portland. Happy to see you went there! 🫔🌯🌮

[@rhythmyr]

That ricotta cheese filling recipe for the cannoli sounds spot on, so detailed too.

[@lgtrax94]

Wish I knew you were here so I could show some love! Thanks for showing our food scene! It’s actually really great!

[@moneeka2]

Ahhh, finally you made it to Portland!! ❤ You are correct, what you experienced is just the tip of the iceberg. I had a feeling it would go this way. Such amazing food in Portland!!!!😋 Save travels!

[@saskiyasiriram1374]

Been watching for years! Finally, seeing you try Guyanese food is so pleasing.

[@rawolf1475]

As a long time viewer, I loved seeing you enjoying Portland! I’m a little further south in Salem - but we have 3 or 4 food cart pods here that have some of the best food i’ve ever had! I HIGHLY recommend Shaka Brah Hawaiian cuisine! their chicken teriyaki and their kalua pork is off the CHAIN!!

[@lizzychurro7701]

I love the interviews with the owners as well

[@JulieYoung-te5mw]

This was fantastic!!! Thank you so much....the heart each of these owners puts into that food is remarkable...I'm starving now and I'm only 2 hrs away from Portland...what is wrong with me ... planning the drive immediately 😂 Thank you again

[@kerlifan1011]

Glad to have been born and raised here with amazing food. I'm also glad you started with Hawthorne Asylum!!! Used to go there after work everyday when I worked down the street!

[@Albertk96]

Thanks for visiting us in Portland. There really are too many food options to even fathom here. Maybe it's all the overcast and rainy days, we need lots of food treats to keep us going :)

[@jfhalshsfdalkj]

Mikey-Isms: 1. A Dumpling dish must always be commented to "How thick is it's wrapping" 2. A Japanese dish must always be described with "Umami" 3. A Desert is never good unless it is described as "Not to Sweet" 4. Except in rare occasions, more "Heat" = Better.

[@Clowanda]

I love so many of these food trucks! I love living in Portland. It has such amazing food spots! Bake on the run is legendary.

[@ilikethenintendo]

dammit, knowing i coulda met the famous mike chen, daaaaang i missed out, but thanks for coming to my home!

[@cryshunt7226]

I'm right there with yah :( awesome to see it though!

[@BeauHD]

Thanks for sharing some of the many culinary gems our city has to offer!!

[@deadredeyes]

The snowcheese chicken from FryBaby is incredible! Glad you stoped by there.

[@elfsong713]

Thanks for coming back to Portland! I will have to check out some of these places.

[@madefromstardust2250]

Man I love Portland thank you for making this vid

[@kristinwright6632]

I just passed that food cart pod where Bari is last night and considered stopping in to check out the place. Didn't have enough time though. Not too far from where I live and now I need to go just to check out this passionate chef's art. Edit: that was Nduja! I have never had it and wanted to try it (yes, I do follow Pasta Grammar lol.) Now it is for sure. That man is getting a visit from me very soon.

[@giacap6180]

Wait until you try Nduja with fried eggs and bread to dip in. 🤤

[@teeveemew]

i’m glad you got to experience portland :)

[@somefreshbread]

It's funny to me how the map is so high-resolution that the pin dropped at 0:02 ended up at my least favorite exit ramp. That said, happy to see Hawthorne Asylum in the first ten seconds, and yes, Sure Shot is one of the top 3 burgers in the US. The Down and Out is one of the best specials he runs too, you lucked out.

[@aimeepaterson4423]

Dear Mike, I Thought The Most Scrumptious Mouthwatering Street Food Tour Was In BOROUGH MARKET…a While Back! This Time Here In PORTLAND You’ve Outdone Yourself! I Literally Feel Like Getting On a Plane Tomorrow To Eat That Auntie’s Chicken Curry, Noodles and Those Chickpeas Pockets! Auntie’s Food Is INCREDIBLE & OUT OF THIS WORLD! Thank You For This Video. Love To Auntie.💞xox Merry Christmas Mike.💙💙

[@ryanbard]

Cheers man and thanks for the Portland love! One note, and it’s really not a big deal, but worth noting: Portland peeps never refer to them as “food truck parks.” We call them “pods” or just “carts.” Some of them kind of resemble parks (BJ’s Food Cartel in Beaverton) or occasionally are a permanent fixture within a built-in area that feels like a group of restaurants or outdoor food court (Prost Marketplace), but most are just gathered in parking lots or on sidewalks with no frills. Again, it’s not a big deal and I’ve got nothing but love for your work… just thought it was worth mentioning. Cheers! 🥂

[@cptcameron]

true that!! not sure why we all call 'em "pods" but that's the local lingo. love this vid and the pdx food cart appreciate.

Food trucks allow for a much more lean eating experience. Most food trucks only do like 2 or 3 things, but they do those 2 or 3 things REALLY well.

As a Portlander who has been to Bari, I can attest that Bari Food Cart is freakin’ legit. Also, this is the only cannoli I have ever wanted to order again.

[@GaomonAndLucario]

I second Bend, Oregon! There's a lot of good places in and around Bend, including Redmond!

[@StephenHutchison]

So if you go to the outlying areas you will find these food truck pods springing up everywhere. I live in Beaverton, cross the hills from Portland, and these small lots full of trucks are everywhere, one or two trucks in one place, then a clump of them, then down the road a few miles to another. It's a bit crazy.
