Re: Street food carts, Jan. 11.

You reported that the City of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­is going to judge street food cart applicants based on menu, sustainability, and a taste test.... ooh what fun!

So now we are paying city officials to pretend they work for the Food Network. Last time I checked it wasn't the city's job to decide the type or quality of merchandise businesses sold. What's next? City workers judging a fashion show to decide who can open a clothing store? What a colossal waste of money. If business owners meet the criteria (e.g. have the right plan, food handling expertise) then after that it should be a lottery.
