Where but in Portland, the land of 600 food carts, could you open Lardo, a temple to house-cured meaty goodness. Crisp pork belly and farm egg sandwiches are the norm, but Lardo serves a changing menu out of a tiny Cape Cod cottage on wheels. The porchetta is a three-napkin affair; the fries, cooked in rendered pork lard and canola oil, are a triumph.
