Food trucks have become the hottest new industry, yet many cities are doing everything they can to stop them in their tracks. In city after city, lawmakers are imposing complicated regulations on food trucks and other street vendors, often in the name of consumer safety, which make it nearly impossible for vendors to actually operate their trucks. Chicago’s regulations are particularly onerous, as Reason reports:
According to the Chicago Tribune, 109 would-be purveyors of mobile cuisine have applied for licenses, but the city hasn’t seen fit to OK any of them. Among the requirements they may be having difficulty meeting:

My intention is to leave this month or next for an extended stay. First I fly to Manila, then to Cebu, then across to Ormoc City...
I am living on my SS and a friend has been bragging for years!
The chicken lengua tacos are to die for.
Sorry to hear about the divorce.
So you were fined for making a pond on wet land.
Wonder how you make one on dry land.
“The health inspectors stopped by each and every single week holding their hands out . They could not stay open even though their places were spotless unless they paid them off too as they would just write something up and say close right now . “
Which is why every conservative needs to elect a constitutional sheriff in their counties. With a constitutional sheriff you can:
1. Start investigations of nazi democrat bureaucrats.
2. Arrest those nazi democrat bureaucrats.
3. Throw those nazi democrat bureaucrats in state prison.
I worked for close to 20 years in a county with a constitutional sheriff, and it’s an ideal way to clean out local governments of nazi democrats. It really, really works.
That’s beautiful! I guess this clause:
[Along the way, a big snow and rain followed, which washed away about $15000 of work]
threw me off.

The “Grease Trucks” are rated the number 2 restaurant in New Brunswick, NJ:

A staple (and hangover remediator) for Rutgers students for decades.
In Phoenix and Tucson, there are the Sonoran Hot Dog vendors, if you can find one. The Sonoran Hot Dog seriously challenges the Philly cheese steak as being one of the most delicious things that will kill you dead and make Michelle Obama cry.
“The Sonoran-style or Estilo Sonora hot dog, is a hot dog wrapped in mesquite-smoked bacon then cooked on a grill or on a griddle or comal, then topped with beans, grilled onions, fresh onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise, cream sauce, mustard and Jalapeno salsa or sauce and served on a Bolillo bun and often with a side fresh-roasted chili. It originated in Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora, where it is as popular as tacos.”
A Bolillo is a sweeter bread bun that opens up like a trough to hold all that high fat caloric goodness. Gourmands of course slather their toppings with a generous layer of insanely hot pepper sauce.
Cultural note: Many Mexicans just love mayonnaise.
.... NEVER FORGET ..... this president (and all of his chronies) is the fawning friend of our enemies .... and rabid enemy of our friends.
Probably just trying to get you to close the church.
First they came for the kids lemonade stands and I did not speak out
because I was not a lemonade lover. Then they came for the food trucks
and I did not speak out because I was not in favor of food trucks. Then they......
<New blood came into the business.
I guess that is it. When I moved to Philly, maybe 25 years ago, broke, looking for FT work while working temp, food trucks were great. I’d never seen them outside of the tourist area in DC, and they didn’t sell very interesting food. But in Philly, oh my! Greek food, Chinese, the Koreans had big fruit salads, there were a few Jews with felafel trucks. There was breakfast, lunch, and dinner to be had from a truck. It was good and it was cheap.
I haven’t had hipster food (from a truck) and if they are to blame for regular people not being able to eat a cheap meal from a truck, then shame on them, and shame on the cities that put up barriers to having food available to the masses.
I doubt the enforcement of the laws will be equally applied. Officials don't want to ask to many questions where it may stir up a hornet's nest such as issues of immigration status.
There are hoops some yuppies will jump through that the tamale truck just won't.
For over a decade we've even had low price food vendors who walk through bars with a small bag of pizzas or a box of wrapped tamales ("5 bocks!"). There never has been any movement in the city to regulate or inspect that traffik.
The cities see a pot of gold in the hipster trend. P
How much did they give?
I hidden video camera and a report to the IRS would have been interesting to watch
The chicken lengua tacos are to die for.
Damn, I did have the chicken....I think it was chicken..
Back in the ‘70’s in Az, all my AZ friends told me I had to try BBQ’ed Rattlesnake.....tastes like chicken.
I did, and it does....now I can’t eat chicken without thinking it tastes like snake.
