Fried Egg I'm In Love was my first food cart stop when I revisited Portland in spring of 2022 contemplating a move here. I was staying around the corner from Pioneer Courthouse Square (at the wonderful Paramount hotel!) and craving something quick, yet satisfying, to start my first full day off back in PDX.

They have a nice variety of breakfast sandwiches, with creative music-based names like "Yolko Ono," "Sriracha Mix-A-Lot," and my personal favorite "Free Range Against the Machine" (add bacon!). It's typically about a 15-20 minute wait for your sandwich. Also note, if you're getting ready to hop on The MAX or otherwise planning on eating this sandwich on the go, you might want to ask for it "commuter style" (main picture), which means the egg yolk will be cooked through and won't explode all over your face and outfit. I recommend just allowing yourself some time to sit down and enjoy the messy goodness to get the best experience.

Recently, Fried Egg I'm In Love has opened a brick and mortar on the south end of Mississippi Avenue. Now, you can enjoy truly amazing craft cocktails along with the satisfying breakfast sandwiches you know and love.
