Soup City

Soup City on the ground at Brooklyn Carreta as SOUP WEEK unfolds!

Milwaukie Cart Cafe’s gumbo lands dark and savory, built with depth and fried chicken add-ons.

Korean Tiger’s kimchi jjigae offers a heat curve that builds steadily, with ample fermented funk to ballast the spice with briny complexity.

Behind the bar , bartenders bring both-bent beverages to the banquet of bowls sold by nearly every cart in the pod. The Pozole Margarita is vegetal, smoky, and finishes with a spicy flourish. The Dashi Manhattan is all umami up front before rounding full and sweeter thanks to bourbon and rum. The Tom Kha-cktail stands out, balancing aromatics and coconut richness with lively acidity.
