EUGENE, Ore. - After graduating from the University of Oregon, KC Brooks made a big decision:  He dropped nearly everything and headed off to Spain. 

However, his overseas adventure was anything but a vacation trip.

As a student, Brooks found himself fully submerged in the "party" scene.  Knowing that drugs and alcohol were threatening his future he knew he needed to make a change.

Eventually Brooks decided to return to Eugene, but he wanted to avoid falling into old habits.  So he decided to come up with a project to keep himself busy.  That project has come to be known as the Sammitch Cart.

With a name inspired by his teen years, the Sammitch Cart is more than just a mobile deli meat machine.  In fact, Brooks is serving up his mom's old recipes between each slice of bread.

If Brooks isn't bringing a little more flavor to a local festival, you'll find him and his cart on 13th Avenue near Mill Street in Eugene.
