Tweet Cart Article in NYT – New Website Resource

Kevin Koss — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 17:40:59 +0000

For those of you who follow the whole debate around street food in SF….the NYTimes has a great article on the debate.

There is also a new website for the San Francisco Cart Project. The debate centers around whether it is unfair to restaurants who have to abide by city rules and whether these carts are taking away their customers. My take? They should stop whining and get carts of their own! Take the food to the people.

The San Francisco Bay Area is home to a wonderfully innovative local street food culture that is growing extremely quickly through its combination of technology and mobile, sustainable, food. The SF Cart Project seeks to complement the research of people interested in starting, or expanding, a street food business of their own by providing a relevant central resource for documents, information and community awareness regarding the often confusing (and occasionally contradictory) process of starting and running a legal mobile food business in the Bay Area.

I Love Ted

Kevin Koss — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:59:38 +0000

TED is a unique conference that showcases speakers from all walks of life. Their motto is “Ideas Worth Spreading”. You can watch previous speeches on their website and I have enjoyed many thought provoking speeches from artists, scientists, and even chefs!

Each year they give a TED prize to somebody and that person gets to have their wish come true. One year Bono won and his wish was to give a computer to every child in Ethiopia (I think) which led to the creation of one.org.

This week David Byrne, Bill Gates and Stewart Brand will all speak. Check it out!
