Such a great series that I binged it all in one evening which is easy as each episode is only 30 minutes long. Street Food: USA, contains people who love food and who love selling and sharing their food with their communities. The food they make is like sermons of love that you eat to get the spiritual message of family, service, passion and identity. These are the culturally diverse people that make up the melting pot that is the USA. These are people who have become icons in their community because of their excellence and ability to hustle. Each episode focuses on a different US city, Los Angeles, Portland, New York, New Orleans, Oahu, and Miami. And this is food that I could almost smell and taste. And though I would try it all, and these are all great cities, Portland appeared to be the place of true invention and experimentation in presenting everything from Vegan dishes (like Vegan Pork Belly) to pork and beef BBQ. And while the food is all great, it is the stories of the different people involved in the food that makes this series magical.
