Garden Monsters

Specialties

Garden Monsters made its premier as Portland Oregon’s one and only salad food cart in early February 2013. We specialize in our own Signature Garden Monsters, entrée sized salads, made to order, exactly how you’d like it, armed with the ability to match or overpower just about any appetite. We’ve made it our mission to serve fresh, local and all natural ingredients in a high spirited, quick and creative new addition to food cart dining. Feel free to take your meal on the go with the request of a Monster Wrap, or rather in our handy spill-​resistant and compostable salad to-​go containers.

We wish to inspire healthier eating whether that’s in our kitchen or yours, to prove that taste doesn’t have to come deep fried, to educate the world on the simplicity of health conscious eating, to grow and strengthen ties with our community, and to epitomize the eco-​friendly revolution. You wont find a deep fryer or a microwave inside Garden Monsters. We use all natural, grass-​fed and organic ingredients from local resources when possible, and every single to-​go container, bowl, cup, lid and utensil we give you is 100% compostable all setting new standards with quick service food destinations. Guilt free never tasted so good.

Kyle Hulings is the creative mind behind Garden Monsters’ concept. He’s a Pacific Northwest native with a passion for life and the pursuit health awareness. Prior to Garden Monsters he dedicated 12 years to marketing and sales which most recently included a 6 year tenure with Yahoo! Inc. Dissatisfied with his career in online marketing but content with well-​paying job Kyle felt «stuck» yet he knew that the rest of his days weren’t meant to be spent inside of a cubicle.

Opportunity rose one bitter sweet day when he was unexpectedly let go. Leaving with his head held high Kyle knew that life taking him in the direction he was meant to be headed and just over a month later this proved to be true one remarkable morning when the concept for Garden Monsters was born.

This idea combined with Kyle’s professional background, ingenious creativity, outspoken personality and passion for food has designed a unique recipe for the success that people have been craving.

And the people have spoken.
