12th and Hawthorne food carts report

hey folks, your friendly neighborhood food geek keeping you updated on what’s on wheels at the corner of 12th and SE Hawthorne:

(last updated 9/2/2008)

Frozen Fantasy milkshakes and frozen bananas are still here. they were doing gangbusters last weekend, surprise surprise. have moved on.

Potato Champion is still slingin’ poutine (now available Vegan, which explains the clouds of skinny jeans surreptitiously drinking Sparxxx on the corner late night)

El Brasero is doin it’s thang, rockin’ lamb barbacoa on weekends and recently had a mixed seafood ceviche tostada as a special. They’re getting a lot of business.

Biggs Bros has passed on; the Pasta closet is now in it’s space. didn’t last much longer. The space is now vacant.

Bubba Bernie’s is setting up shop in a new looking burgundy trailer, promising catfish/shripm po boys, dirty rice, gumbo, etc. He expects to be open next week at the latest.

NEW: There’s a small shiny new cart promising BBQ still being set up. It should be operational in the next 2 weeks.

    Things have changed quite a bit since the last update. There are now six carts open late nights; the Potato Champion is still rocking the spuds, El Brasero has increased their open hours, Bubba Bernies has added more items to his menu, Q (the BBQ place) is open, Brown Bag Bunny (from the downtown Alder pod) has moved over and is putting out the good stuff. My cart Yarp?! has recently changed our hours from being open all the time (nearly) to only late nights wed – mon. Traffic has increased and the pod is turning into a real destination spot for the late night crowd.

    Come on down and check out the changes….
