Michael Dorland poses while preparing food for customers at one of Portland's Oldest originating food trucks.  Steaks Fifth Avenue, owned by Chris Schenk(not picured), has been resident of the same block since 1997.  Dorland believes the business will continue to thrive in the metropolitan area that has a reputation for mass amounts of foot traffic.
