On a cold, drizzly Oregon day, nothing will warm you up better than a spicy bowl of gumbo. The website Yelp.com recently named its Top 100 Places to Eat in 2020, and a little food cart in Portland made the list. This isn’t just any food cart, though…it serves up gourmet, Southern-inspired meals that will tingle your tastebuds and soothe your soul. Check out Mumbo Gumbo PDX:

If you haven't yet tried Mumbo Gumbo PDX, it's time to head to the Smile Food Cart Pod at 6200 SE Milwaukie Avenue in Portland.

There are three food carts at Smile Food Cart Pod. If your nose doesn't lead you to Mumbo Gumbo, look for the pink-and-blue-trimmed cart.

Who are we kidding? The spicy aroma of Andouille sausage, boudin, and hot links will lead you right to this cart.

The shrimp 'n grits is one of the house specialties. You might be ordering your meal from a food cart, but this fare is better than the food you'll find at a fancy restaurant.

The shrimp 'n grits is made with a white wine and heavy cream reduction, Andouille sausage, and shrimp. It's served over grits and topped with green onion, fresh parsley, and Gruyere cheese.
If you prefer a hand-held meal, get your sausage in a bun. Choose from Andouille, hot link, or boudin.
