Stops along the Way - Portland Street Food Cart

After perusing the options we decided on the Portland Soup Company.
Paul's pickled beets, homemade mozzarella and arugula on a honey drizzled wheat roll was something he will try at home. My smoked pork butt had a distinct but not overwhelming smoked favor. The cabbage and apple salad was carefully composed to have a wonderful balance of sweet tang.

It will be hard to look at choices from other carts until the Portland Soup Company offerings have been fully explored.

ROAD FOOD - IE Foodie Truck Event September 17, 2011

Chino Valley is near the WesternU campus and the Chino Valley Foodie Festival was a great way to spend the afternoon following WesternU Preview Day.  My mascot Viggo and I saw the CoolHaus tweet and headed to Don Antonio Lugo High School.  I have meet the folks from the DAL HS at local Junior High Career Days.  DAL HS has a 4H program that promotes interest in animals and potential future veterinarians.  Chino Valley Foodie Festival was a great fundraiser for Chino Valley Unified School District.  A great intersect of education and road food. 

In case you are familiar with Chino, Chino Hills,  or Chino Valley, the IE stands for Inland Empire.  The Suite 106 Cupcakery can also be found at Victoria Gardens in nearby Rancho Cucamonga.Some folks came from as far away as Ventura, following the tweets of @CVFoodieFest, @coolhaus or @getyourlardon, @IE_gourmetfoodtrucks.

6 am flights are harsh

Alaska Horizon Ontario to Portland 6:00am.

Only two women passengers today, what's up with that? Most everyone looks like business travelers.

There are still three direct flights daily from Ontario to Portland. 6:00 am, 11:40 am and too late to think about. Thank you Alaska/SkyWest.

Canadair Regional Jet is a tight fit, but Joy! The seat next to me is empty and I can sleep. Ugh! This seat doesn't recline.

Try Beaches PDX.  Breakfast (~$10) served all day. The servers leave small spiral notebooks with mini personal introductions on the table. Customers have entered great comments like "thanks for the great service," "thanks for the seafood omelet recommendation," "thanks for the smiles," and "keep loving life." Reading this journal makes customers feel happy thoughts too! I particularly liked this one -

 "Breakfast at Beaches - lunch in Paris! Off we go! Thanks!"

I wish.
