So far all is quiet on SW 2nd avenue, but in just a short while we’re going to be invaded by a Cartcrazy Cartload of Cartquesting Cartcravers, a slavering, voracious horde of Cartathletes, all hitting the streets, pounding the pavement and bicycling the byways in search of the holy grail of Cartopolis- One year of FREE Cartfare.

“What?!! Unthinkable” you might say, “I eat 3 times a day, it would ruin the poor Cartfolk!”

Well believe it, Willamette Week and The Portland Mobile Restaurant group are teaming up to present Cartathlon:

“The Portland Mobile Restaurant Group, in conjunction with the Food Cartel andWillamette Week, will be presenting the first in what is planned to be an annual mobile eatery themed combination of a scavenger hunt, eating competition and urban foot race.

The route will encompass SE, SW, NE and North Portland as contestants race between Big-Ass Sandwiches, Flavour Spot, Gardenstate, Grilled Cheese Grill, Koi Fusion, Potato Champion and  Whiffies.

Grand Prize: Free Food Cart Food for a Year from participating carts!”

In just a few hours those Cartestants will be madly pedaling their way to some other undisclosed destination.  Much luck to them all, may the most Cartfamished team win!

If you won, which of these carts would YOU go to most often?
