This Is Your Sign to Book a Food Trip to Portland

Best for Plant-Based Snacks 

Mama Đút

You'll need to arrive early to nab takeout from this popular spot (you maybe already know it from a little show called Street Food on Netflix?). Chef Thuy Pham's banh mi are filled with vegan "pork" and her bao buns are drizzled in garlicky "phish sauce," but it's her pandan strawberry whoopie pies that'll end up on your IG Story.

Best Family-Style Experience

Kann

Prepared-to-be-shared dishes like coffee-rubbed smoked beef ribs are a nod to chef Gregory Gourdet's (yes, that Gregory, from Top Chef) Haitian heritage. Advise your group not to skimp on the sides (say it with us: "More pikliz, please!") and to also save room for Gourdet's famous flame-kissed pineapple upside-down cake.

Best Place to Not Get Buzzed

Fools and Horses
