schnitzelwich

Portland seems to be a food cart cornucopia. There are options, atypical of what the normal food cart fair furnishes, and after recently reading the local foodie magazine, Mix, I stumbled upon "Tabor" a Czech food cart located in one of Portland's many food-cart colonies that made it a must-eat. After checking out the menu, I was determined to stuff my face with their highly advertised schnitzelwhich, a breaded schnitzel with a parika spread, sautéed onions, horseradish and lettuce on a crisp ciabatta roll.

After a nice walk with the doggies at Hoyt Arboretum, a long brisk walk downtown (parking is generally a no-go anywhere near the heart of downtown), I did indeed stuff away and it was gooooood. A twist on the typical Czech schnitzel, but still very tasty and cooked to perfection. And now, I can "czech" one off the list (c'mon, I never get to make those jokes) and look forward to trying Bosnian-style pitas, crepes, waffles, Nigerian stews and I could go on and on and on with the choices. Best try most of the them in the spring/summer tho.

OK. So, it might look kinda gross, but I assure you, it will be the best doughnut you'll ever have, or at least, whichever you choose at Voodoo. This one was not my personal choice, but one I would definitely order on the next run to Voodoo Doughnut. The "O'l Dirty Bastard", pictured to the left, is a peanut butter drizzled, oreo cookie covered, chocolaty mess of dough.

I played it safe with Portland's "official" doughnut, the Portland Cream Doughnut (my personal favorite) and a sugar cake doughnut. Voodoo is a Portland staple that I will definitely be frequenting. Visitors to my new domicile will be dragged there, maybe even more than once.
