Catch Up on Food Carts: Ninkasi’s Cart Cookoff

Hot on the heels of last weekend’s Bite of Eugene — at which we hear Rabbit Bistro chef Gabriel Gil won the Iron Chef competition — comes a smaller but still charming way to try a variety of Eugene eats: Ninkasi’s Carts & Cold One Cookoff. All we know is what’s on that flyer, but as frequent consumers of Eugene’s food cart offerings, we can’t help but be intrigued by the chance to eat from lots of carts at once while sipping pints on Ninkasi’s shiny new patio. It’s kind of like the super Kesey Plaza food cart pod — but, y’know, with beer.

Snack on stuff from Devour, Chick’n Shack, Eddo Buger, Casa de Dilla, The Nosh Pit, Bianacala Pork Growers and more from 5-8 pm Sunday, Aug. 1, at Ninkasi Brewing (272 Van Buren). Proceeds benefit the School Garden Project, Farm to School and the Terra Madre Network.
