In a post at the indispensable Portland Food Carts, dieselboi has announced the publication of Cartopia: Portland’s Food Cart Revolution, a book by Kelley Roy and Kelly Rodgers. He writes:
The book looks into the history or carts, the demographics, the owner’s stories and yes, the food. I contributed along with Paul Gerald from Breakfast in Bridgetown, Carol Mayer Reed and Michael Reed from Mayer/Reed, Kelly and Kelley, and Andrew Burdick, our awesome photographer. I enjoyed taking the extra time to interview cart owners and delve further into the background as to why they opened a cart and the trials and tribulations throughout the years. There are some wonderful stories out there in food cart land.
The book, available in October, can be pre-ordered at PortlandFoodCartsbook.com, where you can also read excerpts from the book.
