See what people in other parts are doing. Street food comes in many sizes and shapes.

As many of you know, Portland has a unique and special scene when it comes to street food. Our food carts are revered by many municipalities who want to replicate what we have succeeded in. Many cities have outdated laws and regulations that hinder or outright prevent street food, so they have a long way to go to create the culture…(read more)

Starting your own food truck

A new trend is sweeping the food world from coast to coast: food trucks. And many cities are even changing their laws to keep up with this growing business. This past Tuesday, Los Angeles passed an ordinance that would require the city’s 9,500 trucks to post letter grades imposed by health regulators. And just like restaurants, L.A. trucks can now find themselves out of business with a grade C or lower; potential violations include dirty counters and unwashed hands.

The new law may seem like a setback to some food truck owners but it’s also one of the surest signs of how these new businesses (once considered fringe) have become part of the mainstream commercial culture in many American cities. Despite the new regulations, owning a mobile business still has many advantages, including comparatively low overhead. The average cost of starting up a brick-and-mortar restaurant can be $100,000 to $300,000. That includes the costs of a wait staff and ventilation systems that mobile vendors simply don’t have to worry about.
