Pod 28

Pod 28 is a food cart pod on 28th Avenue, just south of Burnside Street, in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood.^[1] According to Condé Nast Traveler, "This tiny, blink-and-you'll-miss it pod in has been going strong for a decade, with a casual charm that's hard to match."^[2] In a 2018 overview of the city's best food trucks, the magazine said, "There's a boho vibe to the lot, with its unruly planters and smattering of mismatched tables. It all adds to the casual charm."^[3] The pod has fire pits, picnic tables, and a tent covering.^[4] The Guardian has described Pod 28 as both "ramshackle" and "a treasure".^[5]

In 2018, the pod had a beer bus called Captured by Porches (or Captured Beer Bus)^[6] and five food carts, including Burrasca, The Grilled Cheese Grill, Güero,^[7] Steak Frites PDX, and Wolf and Bear's.^[1][5] Subsequent tenants have included Crave Creperie,^[8] Egyptian Bros, FOMO Chicken,^[9] and Saint Burrito.^[4][10] Le Pantry also operated at the pod.^[11]
