I spent a couple of months in Portland this year and people kept telling me to go there so we did, and we stood in line to get what ended up being fairly poor quality doughnuts with ick stuck to them. Most of it is a gimmick (Captain crunch on a doughnut does not make it a better doughnut) and even if you scrape the ick off them they’re not especially good. I wouldn’t call them bad but nothing special and you pay quite a lot for them.

Voodoo is a great example of the Portland spirit though (read weird). You take an average doughnut and turn it into a crave and you end up with lines around the block. I would sum up most of the food carts the same way except Mum’s Kitchen which provides some truly good food. That’s my two cents… :-)

Thank you for the correction on who is in that photo, though. The Metrovino crew was awesome, too. I wish I could have a slider smorgasbord like that every night. ;)
