[scrippet] FADE IN: EXT. HAWTHORNE FOOD CARTS – PORTLAND The Hawthorne food carts are a staple of Portland culture. Trying to manage the infamous “good morning” sandwich is proving difficult for comedian and SNL alum JON RUDNITSKY. The thing is a massive mess. JAKE NORDWIND, actor and endless ball of energy and punchlines, joins the table. The pair are touring together but still argue about whether a triad is a ménage à trois or Chinese organized crime—maybe it depends on where you’re from.
