  • Isaiah Bostic is the mastermind behind Batter on Deck, a food cart he started in Portland, OR devoted to his favorite food: corn dogs. Batter on Deck takes food served on a stick to new heights with creative concoctions like steak and cheese tornado potatoes, extra spicy Hot Cheeto corn dogs, and much more.
    Isaiah has since moved his business to 8218 SE Holgate Blvd in Portland.

      @AUTISMO sad to here you say this. Maybe you should move. I have been to every major city in America and Canada. Their all good and bad. Don't waste your time hanging with the wrong people. Find and hang with the great people everywhere. I hope you eventually find joy and happiness, good luck.🌤

      @AUTISMO young man ( I apologize if my assumption that your a male is incorrect, I do not wish to offend) I'm 62 years old and lived in the Great Pacific Northwest all my life. I grew up in Vancouver WA. So with all due respect I have a great deal more experience with the area then you. Life is what you make of it what you will. If you're not happy do something about it. You're location is irrelevant. There is greatness no matter where you go if only you would look for it. However if where you are does not please you then move. But until you look for what is truly troubling you and meand that you will always be looking for a new place to be because the trouble you have is from within. Portland is a wonderful city. Sure it's not perfect, none are. I do hope you find happiness, I truly mean that. And just so you understand, I'm not your enemy. Here's a idea. Look not for enemies. Instead look for friends. Start with strangers. I believe a stranger is a friend I have not yet met. Maybe someday we will be friends. Fyi, I'm going to try to find Isaias foodtrailer tomorrow by noontime or there about. Maybe we will run into each other there. My best description of me is without trying to do so I look very much like Santa 🎅. The 5 year old kids this time of year love me. It's fun. Anyway have a great day even if that's not your goal for the day. 👍🌤🍻🌭

    • @victorbenner539
      @victorbenner539 2 роки тому +9

      @AUTISMO sad. You call me " boomer" as though it's something insulting. Now who is naive? Look ,of course this isn't Facebook. It's UA-cam and it's the Munchies channel. So what is your game? Why so much hate? Like most Munchies videos this was a good video. I don't see what you're problem is? Truly this is sad. Apparently you are in need of attention. But this is not the way. Last time. Have a great day. 👍🌤🍻

Ten years in now myself but most quit in the first 2 years because they didn't anticipate the difficulties so I know you really persevered through something. CONGRATULATIONS BRO. Stay unique, delicious, and polite. YOU WON.

However, depending on rush hour, that part of the drive can sometimes add 15-30 minutes. It's not LA traffic, but I think it still sucks.

    Isaiah well done. Munchies does great stories here in the Great Pacific Northwest. I'd love to know how they discover these stories considering they are from New York city. Anyway I live a hour north up by Longview. I'll try to make it down to Portland tomorrow and checkout your trailer and food pod. I just need to figure out where you're pod is. Good luck young man. 👍🌤😁

    I'm coming home in 6 months. I'll be going here. This all looks straight fire.
