Seattle Neighborhood Greenways 2012 Summer Study Trip to Portland Oregon. A combination of a down economy, a citywide network of neighborhood greenways, and entrepreneurial culture has sparked a culinary burst of innovation in the unlikely form of gourmet food carts that spontaneously form into pods.  These pods create a communal dining experience where friends can assemble for a meal where everybody can get just what they want.  

This recording was an interview with the staff of the Carte Blanche food cart where they explained the phenomenon, what makes it tick, and why it's cool.

For our study trip to Portland, we had the best catered food of any meeting, ever.  It was catered by Cart Blanche http://www.carteblanchefoodcart.com/ They made us the best Salmon sandwiches and salads I've ever had, period. 

Portland is poised to become not only a city where people visit to bike the greenways, now it's becoming a place where people can spend their days riding from pod to pod, sampling the innovative foods unavailable at any restaurant.
