I met this girl, Erin Halton, on Craigslist that said she would build me a food cart for $5,000, excluding the permits, of course. I said, wow! That's a great price! Let's go for it!
I had been thinking about building a food cart since I came to visit Portland, when I lived in Miami. The first reason was because I didn't see any Brazilian carts anywhere, second reason is because I believe to be a great cook myself (don't we all?). I got a job before moving to Portland, so the idea was kind of pushed aside, then Adam also got a job, that he hates with extreme passion. I decided to invest all of my little savings in the food cart idea, and let Adam run with it, what the hell?
He is not too fond of the kitchen, but since we started materializing the food cart idea, he started to gain some love for art of cooking. Hopefully, our fellow Portlanders will love our food, and I can quit my cubicle job and we can dedicate all of our time to the Samba Shack!
Erin finally found us an old Shasta trailer that she is using to build our cart. It's very small, but Adam can stand up inside, which is good. Next week we should be able to see some more and add some pictures of it.
