Mobile Food

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jun 14, 2010

Sean Basinski, founder of the Street Vendor Project, joins us along with Kim Ima, owner of Treats Truck, and Vadin Ponorovsky , owner of Frites 'n Meats, to talk about the changing face of street food as well as a proposed new law that would severely penalize food trucks for parking tickets.

We’ll talk about the explosion in the number and type of mobile food options available to New Yorkers in the last few years—from the old-school Middle Eastern carts to new “gourmet" food trucks to the food markets in Brooklyn where would-be chefs test their goods.
