Batter on Deck is a black-owned food cart owned by Portland native Isaiah Bostic. After facing the adversity of having a hard time finding employment he enjoyed due to a criminal background obtained as a youth, he decided to start his own company. Being a fan of fair foods and corn dogs in particular, Isaiah thought it would be great to be able to enjoy them year-round. Once the idea sparked it quickly grew into much more than your average corn dog and expanded with various other specialty sausages.
