The Egg Carton

Quickly becoming my favorite brunch spot, their biscuits are heavenly and the eggs Benedict was so delicious (don’t forget the sweet potato home fries) .. I’m still wary of indoor dining so the covered outdoor seating was welcome though it would be nice to have some space heaters on chilly mornings. I tried their blueberry vanilla jam which was so good and overheard the couple next to me bought jars of jam to take home on a flight :)

This was the perfect spot to pick up a breakfast sandwich on my way to work. I called in my order and they had it ready by the time I arrived (10min). There is a covered eating area if needed. My sandwich was incredible, I got the Belmont (Canadian bacon, raspberry jam and goat cheese). Cannot wait to come back! Edit: came back and had another incredible sandwich, it was ready in 5min and our whole group loved their food.

We learned about this food cart from the food network show, Chopped. The owner was competing on it and when she spoke about her cart in Portland we had to try it out. Certainly didn't disappoint. Homemade biscuits were amazing, the breakfast sandwhiches were deliciously messy. The sweet potato and rosemary were unlike anything I've ever had. So good. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Benedicts were pretty good, but not spectacular, for a food cart they do pretty well, we got breakfast without a wait on a weekend in Portland. That said... as you can see from the picture they're really not even trying with the presentation. It's cool you get it on a real plate, props for that. The Hollandaise was probably above average, the eggs were cooked correctly, I honestly don't have anything to complain about. But, I left kind of hungry, after spending $9 on a plate it would have been nice to get something like hashbrowns or fruit, or SOMETHING included with the Benedicts as is industry standard. Also got the Fo-Po, which again stood alone, and the mustard was over-powering on that dish. Probably won't be back.

Dropped in here out of the blue, never heard of it before. They had a good menu and they have homemade biscuits but I just asked for a basic bacon egg and cheese on a biscuit. Came with cheddar, egg was over medium (if you don't have just a little bit of runny yolk it just isn't worth it) which is perfect and good crispy bacon. They got really busy just as I showed up, told me 20-25 mins which is fine. It's a small place, you have to give the benefit of doubt. Because of that, my sandwich was half cool..not cold, cool but it no affect on my score. Food was delicious. Didn't need any salt, pepper, ketchup, plenty of flavor. They will definitely be on my rotation when I'm working in the area. Great job guys.
