WILLAMETTE WEEK’S FIFTH ANNUAL EAT MOBILE FESTIVAL
“Sample some of Portland’s best food carts and learn the science behind the food on OMSI’s Culinary Science Stage.
With more than 400 mobile eateries selling their tasty goods within our city limits, Portland has become an international destination for mobile eats. U.S. News Travel recently declared Portland to have the “world’s best street food.”
On April 28, Eat Mobile, the part food festival, part cart competition, will allow attendees to sample from 50 of Willamette Week’s favorite food carts as vendors compete for the coveted Carty Award.
Eat Mobile showcases the food, music and people that make Portland’s food scene so special. This year, Willamette Week is proud to announce a partnership with the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) that will expand Eat Mobile to include food demonstrations and provide attendees with a more hands-on food experience with the Eat Mobile Culinary Science Stage.
Tickets are $18 and include samples from each of the participating carts. ” from the Willamette Week (here)
