Portland Timbers host food cart vendors during soccer games and at Sunday's match against the Whitecaps 808 Grinds will be serving their Hawaiian cuisine.
Brett Burmeister: "The Timbers have a specific concession stand that is for a food cart vendor and they've identified vendors to come in and take over the concession stand for a day. There's been Hawaiian, there's been Kow Man Gai, there's been Big Ass Sandwiches. You know the cost of food at stadiums is always high, like $9 for a hot dog. 808 does a full plate with salad, rice and good portion of their 808 pork or whatever, and it's $10, $11. It's the best value of food I've ever seen in a stadium where prices are generally higher - and they are one of those vendors who can manage the crowd really well. I have no idea how many plates they serve but most of the whole first half, including all the time before the game starts there are four or five lines of 30 or 40 people in each. They are one of the more popular vendors down there (808grinds.com)."
