He pointed out the Portland food cart scene as well as traditional Georgian food. Our order arrived and we headed to our son\u2019s house. The 10,000 kilometer distance between us and Sakartvelo was lessened as we ate dinner reminding us of our two trips to the country, the food and the wines.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10333\" style=\"width: 347px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/092514c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10333\" alt=\"Badrijani and Khachapuri\" src=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/092514c.jpg\" width=\"337\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/092514c.jpg 337w, http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/092514c-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Badrijani and Khachapuri<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_10334\" style=\"width: 351px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/092514d.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10334\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10334\" alt=\"Khinkali and tomato, cucumber salad with walnuts\" src=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/092514d.jpg\" width=\"341\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/092514d.jpg 341w, http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/092514d-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Khinkali and tomato, cucumber salad with walnuts<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you are interested in viewing photos of these food that we took while in Georgia follow the links:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/georgia\/khachapuri.php\" target=\"_blank\">Khachapuri<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/georgia\/khinkali.php\" target=\"_blank\">Khinkali<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/georgia\/sides.php\" target=\"_blank\">Sides<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nTerry<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Searching for a Bit of Sakartvelo in America: Kargi GoGo\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=10330\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Kargi GoGo is a food cart in the popular Washington St. food court in Portland Oregon.
