Cart Smarts: Salmon from the grill has alluring flavor – Post
Posted: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 9:27 am
Post-Bulletin Company, LLC
It’s officially salmon season! Only available from mid-May through mid-September, wild Alaskan salmon is a healthy meal idea to add to your grocery list this week. When you walk past the seafood counter, you can’t miss it because the deep red color of the sockeye will stand out among the other, light-orange salmon fillets.
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend eating eight or more ounces of seafood per week (less for small children). The American Heart Association recommends eating fish, particularly fatty fish, at least two times (two servings) per week. However, the average American only consumes approximately 3.5 ounces of seafood per week, which is less than half of the recommendation.
These diet recommendations are based on the evidence of the role of omega 3 fats in heart disease. Salmon is a perfect example of fatty fish, which is rich in omega 3′s.
Preparing the fish does not need to be difficult or intimidating. You can grill, pan sear, poach or bake it.
We tend to like pan-searing best at our house, but we were up for trying something new with the wild Alaskan salmon this week. So we experimented with a grilled salmon burger recipe this Father’s Day.
Most salmon burger recipes call for canned salmon, but I wanted to find a way to start with fresh. After reading several different recipes, I came up with my own version of grilled salmon burgers.
After his first bite, my husband’s response was, “Taste this!” We both agreed the flavor was incredible, but it was a struggle to keep the burgers intact while grilling. Pan-frying the burgers would have made them easier to control, but that would mean sacrificing the grilled flavor.
No matter how you choose to cook it, I hope you take advantage of Alaskan salmon season this summer.

Food cart in London Fields leaves the unemployed priced out
A street food cart that opened in London Fields park on June 14, sets out to cater for the entire community, “not just the hipsters”.http://news
Italian-inspired Coppa Cart gained permission to trade in the public park until March 2014 through a Hackney Council scheme that supports local businesses.
The council’s choice of a trader was met with mixed responses from the local residents of Hackney, the area famous for its gentrification issues.
Will Coldwell, 24, a journalist from Stoke Newington, said: “I think it is a disappointment when the council is giving up space in a public park to private companies that are going to sell food, drinks and snacks out of price of what people will be able to afford.”
Although Coppa Cart pricing was quoted as “reasonable” and “certainly not expensive” by the owner Eliza Flanagan, £2 for coffee and £1.5 for a cup of tea turned out to be out of some people’s budget.
Bryan Eaton
Bryan Eaton, 48, who is unemployed and lives near Homerton Hospital, said: “Not everyone is affluent in this area, not everyone has got loads of money. They only cater for the people who can afford it.”
“We should have an alternative,” added Eaton. “I would rather see a lot more shops here that can offer competitive prices.”
“You need to take into consideration what people have to live on,” said Warren Philbert, 35, a leaflets distributor from Dalston.
“Some people are on benefits, some people have better jobs than others.”
Norman Saggers, 45, who works for Young Hackney and lives in Walthamstow, said that the prices were average for the area.
“But if you are in a park with kids, it will add up quite quickly,” he added.
The food van is an extension of Coppa rooftop bar and barbecue terrace that overlooks London Fields. Both vendors are the trading names of Lardo, an up-market restaurant on Richmond Road.
Flanagan said Coppa Cart was not trying to be exclusive or elitist in any way.
“We thought about our menu carefully. We even offer Halal hot dog for £4, which is pretty democratic and suitable for people who do not eat pork for religious reasons or by choice.”
Other items on the menu include sandwich with rocket and porchetta for £5 and marinated artichokes for £2.30
Lorna Ellis,
Manager, Coppa Cart
Lorna Ellis, Coppa Cart manager, said that the cart had a lot of interest from the passerby on its opening day.
She said: “A lot of people are enquiring whether we are here for just one-off day and people are surprised when we say we will stay until March.”
Ellis felt it was too early to say which audience favoured the cart most. She added that Coppa Cart would try to cater for everybody in the park.
“From 8 am we are open for breakfast and coffee- grabbing people on their way to work, then quite a few people come with their children in lunch time, and in the evening we will create a little bit of an atmosphere.”
A few passersby offered their suggestions for Coppa Cart.
Mia Buzzi, 46, a tourist from Italy, said: “I would add something to eat. The drink menu is very long but the part with food is short.”
Edoardo Ugolini, 54, senior fund manager, said: “The food cart is nice, but I’d have it re-painted, the colour looks old. And plastic mandarines are a bit cheap.”
Both Buzzi and Ugolini said they felt the prices were fair.
Coppa Cart will be changing locations around the park throughout summer.
“We have to be careful not to tear up one piece of land,” said Ellis. “We have to move as it is a public space.”
Coppa Cart will be open seven days a week in the summer. For more info visit: http://www.lardo.co.uk/

Japadog sets up food cart in Richmond
<!–
–>
Japadog became the first Richmond city council-endorsed sidewalk vendor to open for business at the corner of No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway on Thursday, as part of a one-year pilot project. Japadog has had food carts in Richmond before, on private property, and also has a food cart at Vancouver International Airport.
Earlier this year, city council approved a one-year pilot project to allow vendors to set up shop on sidewalks at Westminster Highway and No. 3 Road, near the Canada Line terminus.
Japadog’s most popular hotdog is the Terimayo, a beef sausage and white bun dressed with teriyaki sauce, julienned seaweed shavings, Japanese mayonnaise and fried onion.

Coming to Portland, Ore.: a food cart convention
Portland is taking its street-foodiness to another level: It’s hosting a convention for “mobile vending professionals,” said to be a U.S. first of its kind.
The Roam Mobile Food Conference is scheduled for Sept. 13-15. Sadly, the organizers won’t be settling regional divides over when to say “food cart” and when to say “food truck,” nor will thousands of bagel Bentleys, burger buses, croissant coupes, sherbet Chevelles and haggis wagons be converging from all over the planet. But maybe a few will.
Along with a conventional slate of conference speakers, exhibitors and seminars, there will be a boot camp for aspiring mobile food folk. The conference headquarters is the Doubletree by Hilton in Portland’s downtown Lloyd District.
It’s a good bet that all the usual Portland food cart gathering places — pods, the locals say — will be hopping. The city is said to have more than 500 food carts and trucks, clustered in more than two dozen pods. Just within a block of Southwest 9th Avenue and Southwest Alder Street, local authorities say, about 60 carts are typically found.
In fact, for an overview of Portland’s food pods and related pleasures, check with our local authority, a.k.a. Food Carts Portland.
Oh, and if you’re holding out for a street-food convention with a more global flavor — apparently we just missed one in Singapore. Maybe next year.

DINER: “Food Cart Fest” Set To Return For Sundays Full Of Awesome All …
June 11, 2013
Need another reason to be stoked for this summer’s imminence? The awesome outdoor extravaganza so deliciously seared into our memories as Food Cart Fest is set to make its tasty return every Sunday this summer – starting June 23rd – at a new location: 215 West 1st Avenue. It’s going to be bigger than ever before, with some 20 food trucks parked laager-style around communal tables with community markets, live music, and all manner of ancillary vendors besides making it the raddest bit of real estate in the city ($2 entry charge). We mentioned this excellent eventuality back in March when the old Waldorf team announced the launch of their new agency, Arrival, but now the deets are locked in and we’re super exited to share! Here’s the full skinny, complete with a map that comes free of drool stains…
The Arrival Agency and the Streetfood Vancouver Society are pleased to announce the second annual Food Cart Fest. Beginning Sunday, June 23, at its new home at 215 West 1st Avenue, the festival will run for 14 weeks until September 22. Boasting one of the largest gatherings of food carts in North America, this year’s festival will highlight Vancouver’s exploding street food culture.
Not strictly for foodies though, Food Cart Fest is also about enjoying the summer with friends and family. Building on what many considered a highlight of last summer, each week over 20 food carts will be complemented by community markets, live music, DJs, craft food vendors, and kids’ activities.
After a successful first year, where attendance was upwards of 5,000 each week, the festival is expecting even more people in its new, centralized location. The Arrival Agency worked with Mayor Gregor Robertson and the staff of the City of Vancouver to find an ideal location for the event this year. “We are really excited to be in the heart of the city, connected by so many transit options and right along the Seawall,” says Arrival’s Ernesto Gomez.
The festival’s new location is adjacent to the Cambie Street Bridge and the Olympic Village; between West 1st Avenue and the Seawall (where Cavalia: A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse took place). The site is a short walk from the Canada Line’s Olympic Village Station; the Aquabus’ Spyglass Place Dock; and bus routes along Broadway, Cambie, Main, and West 2nd Avenue.
Vancouver was recently named one the top three cities for food carts in North America by Travel+Escape and has been drawing international praise for its diverse and delicious street food. “We’re excited to have the entire summer to showcase why we do such a damn fine job here in Vancouver,” says Kaboom Box’s Andy Fielding.

Launching Sunday, June 23 | 12pm-6pm

The Italian Market
Some people have a problem with Philadelphia. How anyone
could dislike the city that gave us Questlove and the Allen Iverson
“practice” speech is beyond me, personally. Maybe it has to do with
booing Santa Claus, or the Eagles’ continued employment of Michael Vick.
Or maybe it’s the cheesesteak. While no one can deny the genius of
slopping fistfuls of sliced beef, cheese and onions onto a bun and
calling it a sandwich, a picture of Andy Reid (or Chip Kelly) with
cheesesteak juice dribbling down his chin is a pretty good symbol of our
country’s obesity problem.
Consider
the Italian Market a small attempt at rehabilitating the image of
Philadelphia cuisine. Even if the name conceals its origins, the
cart—conjoined to Belmont Station—doesn’t hide its aggressive
Philly-ness: the Phillie Phanatic is
spray-painted right onto its doors. But instead of the city’s chief
culinary cliché, transplanted Philadelphians Erin Callahan and Andrew
Vidulich serve up what they refer to as the true street food of South
Philly. This includes the Federal ($8), an Italian sub Vidulich says is a
staple of his hometown. Densely packed with shredded roast pork and
provolone, the meat is offset by broccoli rabe, giving the sandwich a
distinctly earthy flavor. My dining companion ordered the Passyunk ($8),
a similarly weighty eggplant sub, and raved about the freshness of the
housemade pesto and mozzarella. Both sandwiches are served on thick
Italian bread from Southeast Portland’s Alessio Baking Co., which,
unlike other cheesesteaks, keeps them from being disintegrated by
grease.
The side of meatballs
was uninspiring, and on the day I visited, the pretzels were less than
fresh (which Vidulich copped to, offering me one for free). Overall,
though, the Italian Market should go a long way toward repairing
Philadelphia’s relationship with some of its local haters. Then again,
some folks will never let their rivalries go. It’s their loss. MATTHEW
SINGER.
Order this: The Passyunk ($8), baked eggplant with roasted peppers and fennel, pesto and mozzarella.
EAT: The Italian Market, 4500 SE Stark St., italianmarketpdx.com. Noon-9 pm daily. $.
