But these days, the remarkably diverse area between North Philly and suburban Montgomery and Bucks counties is equally great for its singular dining scene—easily one of the most diverse in the country. According to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 21% of Northeast Philadelphia residents are foreign-born. This data follows a rich tradition of new Americans in the area: In the early 20th century, settlers from Ireland, Italy and Eastern Europe laid down roots and built row homes that still define the residential landscape. A June 2018 study by the Pew Charitable Trusts showed that working- class families from around the globe—Afghanistan, China, India, Russia, Uzbekistan, Vietnam—continue to gravitate to the Northeast. With them come vibrant culinary traditions. Northeast Philly has destination-worthy American restaurants, from old-guard to new-school (The Dining Car, Northeast Sandwich Co., Sweet Lucy’s). Just as strong—if not stronger—are restaurants that represent its newer populations. There’s Middle Eastern (Al-Sham, Bishos), South American (On Charcoal, Picanha), Asian (China Gourmet, House of Thai, Pho Nam), Caribbean (Būccann, Miracles Jamaican), not to mention an expanse of eateries representing Italy (Gino’s, Macaroni’s, Moonstruck) straight across to Eastern Europe and Central Asia (Chaikhana Uzbekistan, Georgian Bakery & Cafe, Suzani Restaurant). Here are some restaurants that make the Great Northeast’s dining scene pretty great: American Cuisine: • The Dining Car – This throwback diner is a Northeast Philly landmark, cranking out comfort- food classics on Frankford Avenue since 1960. French onion soup, creamed chipped beef and Jewish apple cake continue to please traditionalists, while a wide-reaching menu, coupled with ever-changing specials (plus a liquor license), keeps the old haunt fresh. With all baking done on the premises, the Dining Car is also a worthy stop for sweets. 8826 Frankford Avenue, (215) 338-5113, thediningcar.com -more- Page 2/Northeast Philadelphia Dining • Gallo’s Seafood – The Galloway clan’s family restaurant is a Northeast success story, growing from a humble takeout spot to a 340-seat neighborhood hub for nearly 50 years. The simple, affordable East Coast fish house menu is timeless—meals begin at the raw bar before heading towards classics (deviled crab cakes; clams casino) or nouveau dishes (blackened fish tacos; seared sea scallops with mushroom barley risotto). In 2010, Gallo’s added an adjacent Burger Bar complete with outdoor patio. 8101 Roosevelt Boulevard, (215) 333-0484, gallosseafood.com • The Grey Lodge Pub – Established as a bar in 1950, the Grey Lodge began pouring craft beer in 1996, when it came under the ownership of proprietor Mike “Scoats” Scotese. Banking on small breweries years before it was de rigueur, he grew the humble establishment into a pioneering pillar of Philadelphia’s craft beer scene—and a solid restaurant in its own right, serving pierogi, burgers, tacos and weekend brunch. Taking place every Friday the 13th, “Friday the Firkinteenth” is a calendar-dictated celebration that features a selection of ultra-rare cask ales. 6235 Frankford Avenue, (215) 856-3591, greylodge.com • Northeast Sandwich Co. – What this unassuming corner shop lacks in square footage, it more than makes up for in bold, creative sandwich craft. Though many grab and go, diners who choose to eat in can tuck into chef Kris Serviss’ potato-bunned Nashville hot chicken, garlicky Italian pork or a pork belly Reuben from a cozy window-front seat. 1342 Bleigh Avenue, (215) 904-6086, nescophilly.com • Sweet Lucy’s Smokehouse – Brooke and Jim Higgins got into barbecue in 2003, starting out with a food truck. In 2005 they converted an old warehouse into a sunny, smoke-perfumed room equipped with a full bar, adding a private catering room in 2016. The husband-and-wife team draws from slow-and-low traditions spanning Carolina (hickory-smoked pulled pork), Texas (beef brisket, chopped or sliced), Memphis (baby back ribs) and beyond. 7500 State Road, (215) 333-9663, sweetlucys.com • Three Monkeys Cafe – Opened in 2005 by a trio of Northeast natives, this down-to-earth bar and restaurant at SEPTA’s Torresdale Station invites patrons to “eat, drink and be monkey,” with seating options that include an old-fashioned pub room, a nostalgic dining room and a lively alfresco patio that exudes a laidback Key West vibe. With live music, loads of craft beer on draft and a kitchen that riffs on crowd-pleasing pub grub, it’s an oasis for the brain, right off the train. 9645 James Street, (215) 637-6665, 3monkeyscafe.com Caribbean Cuisine: • Miracles Jamaican – Teeing up true Caribbean flavor on an already-diverse strip of Castor Avenue, Miracles satisfies hankerings for Jamaican staples: stew chicken, curry goat and “the best patties in town” (favorites being spicy beef or veggie). Perfectly grilled over hardwood, the jerk chicken tastes best over a heap of rice, peas and cabbage. 6635 Castor Avenue, (215) 342-3513 East Asian (Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai) Cuisine: • Ateethi – Ateethi specializes in the cooking of Kerala, the coastal state of southern India whose cuisine stands apart from the northern offerings at many of Philly’s Desi restaurants. Signatures include flaky, multi-layered paratha (flatbread); generous dosas filled with spicy chutney, chili and cheese masala; seekh kebab (cylindrical spiced kebabs) and “Devil Fish,” a fiery Sri Lankan stir-fried seafood favorite. 9321 Krewstown Road, (215) 698-6113, ateethi.com -more- Page 3/Northeast Philadelphia Dining • China Gourmet – A fast-paced 400-seater just off of Roosevelt Boulevard, China Gourmet is one of Philly’s premier dim sum halls. Rolling carts stacked with all manner of dumplings, buns, seafood, meat and other Hong Kong-style treats attend tables in an enormous dining room, complete with functional fish tanks and a giant projection screen playing Chinese movies and TV. The restaurant transitions to its traditional menu by late afternoon, where stir-fried lobster, Peking duck and crab meat-fish maw soup are just the start. 2842 Saint Vincent Street, (215) 941-1898, phillychinagourmet.com • House of Thai – Surprising Southeast Asian fare is the specialty at House of Thai, set in a classy but unstuffy white-tablecloth room in Mayfair. House specialties include chicken coconut soup; green or red curry duck; and pineapple fried rice with meat or seafood. The three-course lunch special, which runs under $15 a head, is a tremendous value. 3520 Cottman Avenue, (215) 708-8799 • Pho Nam – Vietnamese beef noodle soup is but the beginning at this popular pho parlor. Hungry visitors can also dip into ample appetizers—the Triple Delight consists of beef-stuffed grape leaves, grilled pork, sugar cane-skewered shrimp—vermicelli bowls and hefty meat-and-rice plates. 501 Adams Avenue, (215) 728-0288, phonamphilly.com Eastern European Cuisine: • Chaikhana Uzbekistan – Open in the Northeast since 2006, Uzbekistan is ideal for group celebrations, especially if there are meat lovers in the party. Traditional flavors from Uzbekistan, Georgia, Ukraine and elsewhere in Eastern Europe/Central Asia abound: Go-tos include the centerpiece leg of lamb; empanada-like chebureks, deep-fried pockets stuffed with minced meat, cilantro and onion; and an array of hearty kebabs grilled over live charcoal. It’s a bring-your- own-bottle (BYOB) spot, and vodka is usually the bottle of choice. 12012 Bustleton Avenue, (215) 671-1990, uzbekistan-restaurant-restaurant.business.site • Georgian Bakery & Cafe – An exciting confluence of European, Middle Eastern and Asian influences, the food of Georgia is among the more underrated cuisines in the world—and it’s on display in Somerton. This is a carb lover’s heaven, turning out fresh shoti, ham-stuffed lobiani, cheesy khachapuri and other native styles from bulbous, 900-degree brick ovens. The BYOB’s menu reaches beyond bread, too, to include plenty of traditional meat, seafood and vegetarian entrees. 11749 Bustleton Avenue, (215) 969-9900, georgianbakerycafe.wixsite.com/georgianbakerycafe • Mom-Mom’s Kitchen – In 2017, Kaitlin Wines and Ryan Elmore expanded their small-but- scrappy Eastern Euro food cart into a brick-and-mortar BYOB in the proudly Polish Bridesburg neighborhood. That mobile kitchen still vends, but the restaurant has given the public more of a chance to sample their handmade pierogi, golabki (stuffed cabbage) and sauerkraut, plus inventive specials both sweet and savory. 2551 Orthodox Street, (215) 613-7781, mommomnomnom.com • Passage Restaurant – Devotees of the Ukrainian culinary tradition find their way through energetic Passage in the Bustleton-Somerton shopping center, where the kitchen interprets traditional Eastern Euro flavors through a stylish lens. More recently, the same ownership team has introduced Royal Passage, a bigger restaurant

  • Portland Hungers for Its Food Carts
    Duff on Hospitality Law Portland Hungers for its Food Carts By Joy Ellis on 9.28.12 | Posted in Food and Beverage At lunch time, Joy Ellis can be found at Addy’s Sandwich Bar, a food cart at the corner of SW 10th and Alder. Here, she brings us an update on the thriving food cart industry in Portland. Portland’s bustling food cart industry has come of age. With nearly 700 food carts actively dishing out some of Portland’s most creative and tasty cheap eats, the local food cart economy here is flourishing. Portland’s food cart industry has also helped build some thriving ancillary businesses, from food cart suppliers to sustainable to-go food containers to bicycle delivery services like Portland Pedal Power. Food carts are generally a flexible, low-risk business model. They give an aspiring entrepreneur the opportunity to incubate a business idea and gather a following before taking the financial leap to a bricks-and-mortar restaurant, and they provide an affordable investment for business owners who prefer to stay small and avoid the risks and costs inherent in a storefront restaurant. The City of Portland is generally supportive of food carts, which pepper urban surface parking lots and occupy vacant lots and other underutilized sites. Portland’s regulations are relatively friendly (unlike some other cities, like New Orleans – where a food truck can’t park in the French Quarter, sell seafood, stay in one place for longer than 30 minutes or be parked near a restaurant). The various permits and licenses required of a Portland food cart vendor depend upon the size of the cart, its mobility, and its location (on private property or a public sidewalk).

  • Spokane Mobile Food Industry Summary
    WHITE PAPER Mobile Food Vendors City of Spokane Planning and Development Services Department BACKGROUND Mobile food vendors have been present and active participants in the Spokane food scene for many years. Spokane’s “Pig Out in the Park” is an annual celebration of the mobile food industry which has brought ethnic and traditional food and entertainment to Spokane for over 31 years. Spokane is also home to numerous traditional food truck operators who serve workers in industrial areas and construction sites and also to a handful of enterprising push cart operators offering their goods to passerby’s on downtown sidewalks. To date, Spokane’s experience with mobile food vendors has been fairly typical and un-noteworthy. Countywide, the Spokane Regional Health District issues an average of about 80 mobile food unit permits annually. Growing interest in these businesses locally and the phenomenal growth in other northwest cities, including Seattle and Portland, indicate these numbers may increase. In particular, Portland has by many accounts become the leader of innovation in the “food cart” industry as it has experienced a blossoming of the industry into a major cultural phenomenon fueled in part by the creative, entrepreneurial spirit of the City and the “great recession” which has spurred interest in food carts as a relatively low cost self- employment option. Other communities experiencing noticeable growth in their food cart industries have reacted with less enthusiasm as the food carts have created both regulatory issues and backlash from the brick and mortar restaurant owners and other small businesses who feel impacted by the mobile vendors.
