The Blazing Chef

Beautiful murals on The Blazing Chef.

Musing on their fancy fry sauce, we munched down this greasy, deep-fried, yet fresh plate full of veggies, fresh cut fries, and three kinds of fish. There’s something about mayonnaise and fried food that really brings out the Dutch in me. Throw some mayonnaise and fish in and I’m [...]

Nosh Pit: Uber-Local Grill

Bicyclists wait for their local Nosh

One of the truly fascinating aspects of a food cart is walking up and ordering from someone’s manifested vision. Corey and Nicole started this cart as a showcase of how a small open-air cart can grill up ingredients at an extremely local level. The cart is fundamentally a giant [...]

Drumrongthai Street Food Gets it Right

Two customers wait for one of Eugene's authentic Thai carts.

Who needs to go to Burning Man when you can go to Drumrong? This cart isn’t just a cart, it’s like a circus tent sans animals.

I’ll tell you straight up that I’ve known A, the guy who runs this brilliant Thai cart, for years. He’s [...]

O-BEX: Oklahoma Smokehouse BBQ Express

Oklahoma Smokehouse Barbecue Express

My favorite barbecue guys have a new cart at 12th and Kincaid. It can sometimes be a problem to keep food high quality and tasting good with a small cart like this, but I know they can do it because this barbecue is VERY good. These are the same [...]

“Viva Vegetarian Grill” Has The Best Discounts!

Update: Just had a Hickory Smoked Barbecue sandwich and it kicked butt. So good. It was really hard to split the thing with  my buddy, Al Cioppino. You’ll love it…

Dave, you Dawg. You may recognize Dave as the guy wearing an apron at the Country Fair that makes him appear fully [...]

Chic'n'Wraps

Chic’n’Wraps is very clearly marketed: Chicken Wraps. If you don’t like wraps, then first, “what?!” If you still don’t like ‘em, try one of these first.

She ain't no chicken!

Being completely oblivious to the fact that I had spoken with Elizabeth while advising her on the opening of her purple and green cart, I strolled [...]

Ubon Thai Kitchen

I’ve driven by this bright yellow Thai cart on Highway 99 dozens of times and I am wondering what kind of karma I must’ve acquired to miss out on this heart-warming food for so long.

Warm curries, noodles, and rice inside

When Pla, the “Angel of Ubon” was a small girl, she had to hide in [...]

Oklahoma Smokehouse Barbecue

After being hung up in red tape for nearly a year, Liz and Aaron Speck finally got their smoker fired up on Highway 99 and were able to start selling. When I visited, I tried nearly everything on the menu. The multiple customers who I saw evidently had come to the same conlusion that I would: [...]

Alexander's Great Falafel

How many UO students would have made it in the last 16 years without Alexander’s Great Falafel? These fried balls of ground, spiced chick peas are vegan and can come with hummos, pita, vegetable salad, tabouli salad, and tahini dressing. Not to mention he is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Get any [...]

Daniel's Taqueria

Highway 99 has so many things going for it: Home Improvement stores, auto wreckers, 50 thousand gallon fuel tanks, that girl who does high kicks waving a mattress sale sign. Highway 99 also has food carts. And one of them is Daniel’s Taqueria. They advertise 50 cent Chicken Taco that taste pretty good.

Price Range: $.50+!!

Location: [...]
