![]() ![]() There's also sopressata, spicy salami served on toasted ciabatta with provolone, pickled peppers and vinaigrette-dressed arugula Cuban pork with sour-orange sauce and ham with arugula and butter-poached apples and onions. The specialty here is porchetta (save yourself the embarrassment and call it PORK-etta, not PORSH-etta)-thick, juicy rolls of roasted pork belly and loin. No vegetarian options, no sandwiches over (or under) $8, no nonsense. Not to be confused with the People's Sandwich across Burnside Street, this cheerfully painted yellow truck is pork, all pork and nothing but the pork, so help us God. The People's Pig Near 3rd Avenue pod at Southwest 2nd Avenue and Stark Street,. CHEAPEST BITE: Kosher Polish sausage, $3.25-$2 on Tuesdays. (AM) BEST BITE: Alaskan reindeer sausage, $4.75. The other tubed-meat selections at Beez Neez range from kosher beef to wild boar, but how can you pass up the opportunity to consume one of Santa's little helpers? The caribou, raised on a farm outside Anchorage, are seasoned with coriander and alder-smoked topped with caramelized onions, the sausage sits agreeably in the belly. Exotic-game aficionados and Sarah Palin's extended family, take heed: This unassuming hot-link stand serves reindeer sausages. CHEAPEST BITE: A large takeout box filled with golden deep-fried tofu squares, with a sweet chile-peanut dipping sauce, is only $3.īeez Neez Gourmet Sausages 11 am-4 pm Monday-Thursday, 11 am-6 pm and 10 pm-3 am Friday, 10 pm-3 am Saturday. Cash only. (KC) BEST BITE: Delicate red curry with peppers, $5. Meatless peeps: Just Thai will make any dish on the menu vegetarian or vegan if you want it, and even boasts a special mushroom-based house sauce. Share a huge takeout box of pleasantly fish-saucy pan-fried noodles tossed with green onions and peanuts, or gorge on thick hunks of Thai eggplant stir-fried with basil and crunchy peppers. This friendly Thai cart rightly festoons its pink sign with hearts-you're bound to fall in love with its mountainous portions of lightly fried noodles or vivid curries, which come at prices so low they look like typos (everything's $5, and that's with chicken, tofu or shrimp). CHEAPEST BITE: Fried crawfish pie, $3.50. (KM) BEST BITE: Chicken and sausage jambalaya, $6.50. Be sure to check out the upcoming expanded menu, which is reported to include fried chicken. There's even a vegan version-of dubious authenticity, but on offer nonetheless-made with corn and root vegetables. We recommend the spicy jambalaya with chunks of dark-meat chicken and andouille, topped with green onions and a wee cornbread muffin a single serving could easily serve two for lunch. The Cajun/Creole specialties at this shack (literally-note the tin roof and "quaint" hand-lettered wooden signage) are served in red-and-white-checked paper trays that sag under the weight of their contents. CHEAPEST BITE: The $5.50 Potato Pancake Vegetarian Plate, which includes four crispy potato pancakes, applesauce, sour cream and sautéed onions (they threw in pierogi on our visit). (CJ) BEST BITE: The $7 Combination Plate, with pierogi home fries a gigantic, juicy sausage or blackened chicken cutlet and some other goodness. Our server, a first-generation Pole with a sweet demeanor and motherly insistence on gorging us with Way Too Much Polish Food (another good alternate cart name) made the experience all the more appealing. And while two patrons could easily split a single item, TOP's diverse menu-it has everything from greasy, crispy potato pancakes to Polish dogs and even Chicago-style hotdogs-makes it hard to decide on a single dish. ![]() This cart should really be called "Heaping Plate of Poland," or "Truckload of Poland," because "Taste" seems conservative, and the servings here-of giant, flame-cooked sausages slippery potato pierogi troughs full of cucumber chunks and heaping spoonfuls of sour cream-are immense. ![]()
