A Market
for Catfish
About a year and a hal fago, William Gaddis noticed
a void in Portland’s otherwise robust food cart scene:
southern cooking, with catfish being particularly ab
sent.
He wanted to help out his granddaughter with
college, so he and his girlfriend got together a food cart
serving up catfish, potato salad, com and green beans.
“The Best o f Shevens” is present at the King Farmers
Market, Alberta Street Fair, and the Boise-Eliot
O utdoor Market.
Gaddis, a native o f New Orleans who moved up to
Portland to escape the humidity and be with family,
said that he uses a southern-style cornmeal breading
for the catfish that includes garl ic and black pepper.
He said that sales on some days do better than
others, but overal 1 he is sti 11 doing alright.
William Gaddis services up catfish
and other southern cooking de
lights from his food cart at the
Boise-Eliot Outdoor Market.
