As many of you know, my husband Jay and I run a food cart in Portland, Oregon called Native Bowl. It’s truly a family affair, and we’re having an absolute blast. We serve fusion rice bowls, and a small assortment of freshly baked treats. We’ve been running the cart for just about a year now, in the Mississippi Marketplace. That’s why (along with the cookbook that I’ve been working on), my blog isn’t updated as often as I like. At any given moment there’s a constant pulling in a million different directions. Of course I say this with a smile on my face ; )
Anywho, you probably also know that there’s a new show on the Food Network called The Great Food Cart Race. I hear that it’s an awesome show (I know, I know, we really need to get cable!), and that the carts are put through some intense competitions every week. Anyways, Food Network is also running a contest for America’s Favorite Food Cart, and we are part of that competition (a million thank yous to whomever nominated us!). So what we need is your vote! Voting starts on August 29th at this link. Please, please vote for Native Bowl as your favorite food cart!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

The city in which I live has the most restaurants per capita of anywhere in Canada, but no food carts. Do you have big bowls?(Sorry, couldn’t resist). Any ties to Tanya Petrovna’s Native Foods? The menu on your cart’s page looked yummy! Best luck.

I love your blog! There are so many good vegan recipes that I just can’t wait to try out!
I do PR for a very unique and first-of-its-kind gluten and dairy free product and was just wondering if you would be interested in obtaining more information for an upcoming blog post.
If you would like to receive more information regarding this product, please email me at laurenb@bamcommunications.biz with your contact info and I would be more than happy to forward you some more information!
Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
