Ruthie's is a restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[1]

Description and history

[edit]

Ruthie's operates from a food cart at the intersection of 36th Avenue and Division Street in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood. The menu, described by Eater Portland as a "modern spin on Mormon food", has included funeral potatoes, Jell-O,[2] rockfish sliders, a pork roll,[3] a salad with corn, sheep cheese, popped sorghum, and tomato,[4] as well as biscuits, jams, pickles, and desserts.[5][6] For Valentine's Day, Ruthie's has served shokupan with dino nuggets, ranch powder, and caviar.[7]

History

[edit]

Collin Mohr and Aaron Kiss opened Ruthie's in October 2020. Named after Mohr's Mormon grandmother,[8] the restaurant has sourced food from the local farms Farrah Farms, Vibrant Valley, and Wild Roots.[2] In 2022, Ruthie's was featured episodes of the Netflix travel documentary series Somebody Feed Phil as well as Street Food.[9][10][11]

Reception

[edit]

Katherine Chew Hamilton included Ruthie's in Portland Monthly's 2021 list of "Portland’s Best New Food Carts" and 2022 list of "20 Food Carts that Define Portland Now".[7][12]
