The dish consists of poached organic chicken, white rice simmered in chicken stock and Thai herbs, and Nong's special sauce. The Khao Man Gai was better than I ever imagined chicken and rice could be. I enlisted my friend and condo neighbor Eric, who's always up for a food outing, to join me, and he, Otto and I walked downtown to Nong's Khao Man Gai food cart, which actually had TWO items on the menu: Khao Man Gai (Thai Chicken and Rice), and Khao Man Gai PISET (Chicken and Rice Big Size.) It was a painstaking choice to say the least, but we both finally decided on the regular size. I was curious as to why people would stand in line day after day to get something as mundane as chicken and rice, when there were so many more interesting dishes at other food carts. The dish is Khao Man Gai, or Thai Chicken and Rice. I had heard that this particular food cart served only ONE dish, and that there were always long lines of people at the cart to buy it. However, I had so much trouble remembering the name of it (it's kind of a mouthful, you must admit), that I never got there.
One of the food carts I had always wanted to try was Nong's Khao Man Gai. My dog Otto LOVES going to the food carts, as they provide him with an excellent opportunity to hoover up any errant ingredients that might have fallen out of someone's sandwich/burrito/burger/salad/gyro/wrap/dumpling. Since food cart pods are scattered throughout the city, they are the cheapest, easiest, and most convenient way to eat lunch when you're on the run - or just taking a leisurely walk with your dog. Portland is renowned for its legendary food carts, and they are even more popular in the summer when it's not raining here. I've been on a food cart binge this week.

#LE BISTRO MONTAGE FOOD CART LICENSE#
There was no way I could just let this die.” The day after the decision was made, he went to the owners with an offer to license the name and keep the restaurant going. “When we said we were going to close, the social media reaction from damn near half of Portland was visceral. For owner Derek Ingwood, who had been the executive chef at Montage for around four years, opening the cart was a “no-brainer.” “I was sick to my stomach that Portland was going to lose this legend, so I wanted to do anything I could to keep it open,” he says. This bit of good news comes in a time of mass-closures and upheaval in the Portland restaurant industry. The macaroni will also have both gluten-free and vegan options, and there will be a variety of sides and add-ons. In addition to the famed macs, Montage Ala Cart will have fried artichoke hearts, jambalaya, a giant salad, po’ boys wrapped in Montage’s signature tin foil sculptures, and “nacho-ronies,” tortilla chips covered in nacho cheese macaroni and Cajun pulled chicken.
#LE BISTRO MONTAGE FOOD CART MAC#
The Oregonian first reported that Montage Ala Cart will open on August 8 at the Hawthorne Asylum food cart pod, and while its new incarnation may have a slimmer menu, the macaroni and cheese dishes - including spicy Cajun mac and creamy garlic mac - will be there. It won’t have long communal tables or servers bellowing out oyster shot orders, but the beloved vaguely-Cajun restaurant Le Bistro Montage is returning to the city as a food cart, just months after it permanently closed due to COVID-19.
