With the news that Portland food cart owners are eyeing the possibility of liquor licenses, there’s some work to be done on the Portland Food Cart scene. For one thing, many carts will need new monikers to let the public know they have new offerings.
Some suggestions:
- Potato Vodka Champion (SE 12th and Hawthorne)
- Euro Trashed (SE 43rd and Belmont)
- Lucille’s Coors Light Party Balls (SE 43rd and Belmont)
- Azul Tequila Mexican Taqueria (SE 50th, South of Division) – This one already exists, alas they’re not (yet?) serving tequila
- New Taste of India Pale Ale (SW 5th and Oak)
- Ziba’s Zima (SW 9th and Alder)
- Koi Infusion (SW 4th and College)
Over at Portland’s Least Popular Food Carts, Bill Oakley has one that may actually end up being a very popular cart:
- Cooter’s Moonshine & SquirrelBurgers (NE 23rd & Alberta)
Any more ideas?
Frozen daiquiri cart, please. Preferably Vegas style, in oversized clear plastic novelty to-go cups. But instead of an Eiffel Tower or Stratosphere Tower, you can get a 2 ft. high plastic KOIN Center full of booze, with a bendy straw poking out the top.
I would consider this a highly civilized, and long overdue, development.
Wait, so will you have to stay under your covered foodcart area or can you walk around? What is considered “on the premises?”
This is not going to happen.
