Jojo

We'd nominate jojos as the food to represent the Pacific Northwest. Nobody does the thick-cut, deep-fried, and battered potato wedges better than this SE Powell food cart (they also have a brick-and-mortar in the Pearl District). Here, they're not relegated to just a side. You can get them loaded with cheese and one of ten different sauces, like our favorite jojo sauce, a blend of Duke’s mayo and ketchup. Despite the cart’s name, they also make a standout spicy chicken sandwich with pepper relish, honey, and Alabama white mustard sauce that puts Popeyes to shame.
