On our last trip to Portland, we asked food truck aficionados DeAnn and Andy for recommendations. They directed us to The Big Egg<\/a>, but we were car-less and the Egg\u2019s Mississippi Marketplace<\/a> home in NE Portland is impossible to reach by public transit. <\/p>\n Fortunately we knew we\u2019d be back in a month, this time with our Prius. Yesterday we met up with the food cart mavens themselves, fresh off their beeline drive from Seattle. <\/p>\n The Big Egg\u2019s menu consists of a breakfast wrap (Andy\u2019s favorite: he had two!), and an assortment of brioche egg sandwiches such as today\u2019s special chosen by DeAnn and Anjali:<\/p>\n Lauren and I ordered a breakfast wrap and an Arbor Lodge. We had been warned the sandwiches can take awhile, so we were prepared for the 25 minute wait. When my name was finally called, we were ready to chow down. <\/p>\n The wrap was good, with the yogurt lime sauce bringing me back to Vios<\/a> memories, but I\u2019m not a huge home-fries fan, so the grilled potatoes detracted somewhat from the appeal for me. <\/p>\n The Arbor Lodge however was food truck slow food at its finest. The caramelized onions had a jam-like sweetness and the mushrooms were chewy and flavorful without a hint of rubbery-ness. The brioche bread was sinfully good. The taste I had of the daily special was equally delicious. I was so distracted by the lingering flavors in my mouth, that I forgot my umbrella at our lunch table! <\/p>\n When we returned today for a late brunch with Tommy, I couldn\u2019t resist having another Arbor Lodge. It was just as delectable as yesterday. I would definitely recommend adding a stop at The Big Egg\u2019s bright yellow truck to your next Portland itinerary. The nearby waffle and juice trucks are also worth a visit. And to top it all off, I recovered my umbrella from the friendly market caretakers!<\/p>\n\n
