Prison punks get stabbed for less!

If you didn’t know, I love food. Part of that love goes to KOI Fusion, a Korean BBQ truck here in Portland. (They admit to getting the idea from the Kogi truck in Los Angeles.) Their tacos are pretty much the best thing in Portland that costs $2.00.

The KOI truck posts there movement on Twitter, and they’ve become quite the social media success here in the Silicon Forest. While they are technically mobile, they have a regular rotation of locations. They can be found at 4th and W. Burnside (76 station parking lot) for lunch on M/W/F, and down at PSU on T/Th. Most nights they move to a location outside PGE Park (near plenty of bars), and they always set up shop there after Timbers and Beavers games.

Now, we’ve got two stationary Korean BBQ carts in the near vicinity.

Bulkogi sits at SW 5th and Stark.

Boolkogi sits at SW 5th and Oak.

Not only did they pretty much plagiarize KOI’s menu, they plagiarized EACH OTHER’S NAME! AND, they’re on the SAME BLOCK! Somebody call the thought police.

To illustrate, here’s a map of the locations. You make the call. I’m calling shenanigans.
