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]

History

[edit | edit source]

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]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

San Diego Magazine called Pod 28 a "superb cluster of carts" in 2014.[12] In 2018, Serious Eats said, "The pod is a thriving example of success in an industry that sees plenty of turnover—even in a place like the Rose City, where it seems some people aren't happy with their meal unless it came out of a converted trailer."[1] The website also described Pod 28 as a "small pod with excellent quality throughout".[13] Thom Hilton included the pod in Eater Portland's 2023 overview of recommended businesses along the "restaurant row" of East 28th Avenue.[4]
