Appetite for change- GLOBE & MAIL
Street meat and diversity, together at last!!
This weekends article from the Globe & Mail shares Gregor Robinson's inspiration and interest in having Vancouver branch out and diversity our street food.
Which has long been an interest in mine.
Along the streets of Portland one walks past vendors cooking up and selling cuisine from around the globe: Ethiopian, German, Thai, Mexican...as well as donuts, smoothies, ice cream YOU NAME IT.
Gregor states, “Cities like Portland are way ahead for us on this, so we’re looking hard at how to catch up and make sure we have great food offerings on our streets,” said Mr. Robertson, whose résumé includes developing his own line of food products, the Happy Planet line of organic juices and smoothies. The Oregon city, he added, “has made it possible for a lot of different types of food to be available on the street, and let the market determine what happens, and I think they’re seeing good success from that.”

Who is as excited as me??
I saw an article in "Bon Apetit" magazine, I believe, about Portland's interesting and diverse street food vendors. I loove what people can do with quality ingredients and love no matter where and how they serve it. It doesn't have to be nasty "tube meat" just because it is prepared in a smaller space and served outdoors. I look forward to hearing more on the developments in Vancouver. Street vendors aren't even allowed at all in Montreal!
