Couple serves up delicious treats at Bucket Bites
The Karnas opened
the food truck in 2018

In each warm pasty and treat they serve,
Christine and Chris Karna put not only
fresh ingredients but decades of tradition
and their love of serving and feeding people
in the community.
The Karna’s own the Astoria-based food
cart Bucket Bites.
“I like keeping the food traditions
going,” said Christine Karna, who grew
up in a small Pennsylvania town with deep
Cornish and Welsh influences.
When the couple opened their food cart
in September 2018, a few years after relo-
cating to Astoria, they knew they wanted to
bring a version of traditional Cornish pasties
to the Pacific Northwest. A pasty is a type
of savory pastry, with a selection of meat
and vegetables stuffed into a warm, buttery
half-circle of crust that gets crimped shut.
