A big shout out to everyone who braved the gray weather and crowds to check us out at the Seattle Mobile Chowdown III last week. It was off the hook fun.

The madness of crowds, some people waited in line over 2 hours to get a taste of the Koifusion! But we know it was worth it because some people ate, turned around, and waited in line again for another dose. We love you all, man.

Seattle’s got a much smaller cart scene than Portland and most of their trucks are mobile (we think it’s the laws there or something), but it was cool to see all their different carts and eat their food. Some people were billing the event as a Seattle vs. PDX thing, but we think that’s way off the mark. I mean, Portland has over 400 carts and Seattle has well, about 1/10th of that. Hmmm, maybe we should invite the Seattle carts down to PDX next time to show everyone how AWESOME the PDX cart scene is?

Anyway, fun was had by all, it was a great road trip. We met some cool people and we hope to go back next year. In the meantime Seattlites, if you find yourselves down in our ‘hood, swing by. As always you can find us on twitter @koifusionpdx or check us out at our new restaurant/bar Koifusion@1 located at 1300 NW Lovejoy in Portland’s Pearl District.
