The Future of Street Food: No Truck, No Table, No Stand, No Effort

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Back when I lived in Boston, we ate it restaurants.  Then I moved to San Francisco and we ate on the streets.  But since I've been here, the standard for gourmet dining has been a race to the bottom.  Taco trucks paved the way to curry carts.  Curry carts brought mobile baked goods.  The mobile baked goods lead to Kid Rock's doppelganger selling Jello shots in the park.  Now at garage sales they're throwing in super nachos with every broken sewing machine and stack of 1960's Life Magazines you buy.

Soon the most successful street food businesses will merely hurl gobs of currywurst at passersby.

Do you like Street Food?  Are you single?  Are you shitty at picking up people in bars?  Well, you're in luck.  July 27th at 7pm on Linda and 19th, the street food clan is having a “stop light party.”  That's right, dress your relationship status:

  • Green: Single
  • Yellow: Complicated
  • Red: In a relationship

I'll be the guy dressed in black, the color of my soul, and wearing a messenger bag full of 40oz.  See you there!
