Bay Area Street Carts

There has been a recent appearance of food vendors in Northern California, particularly in the Mission district of San Francisco and in Oakland in the East Bay. An article from SF Gate "Growing crop of vendors hitting the streets".

Some take home points:
- "fun-employed"
- lower costs, hard economy
- require permits - some operate clandestinely
- variety of choices - Vietnamese pho, French creme brulee, escargot to-go, Thai curry
- strict regulations might cause the end of the temporary surge of vendors
- desire to connect with street global street food (How beautiful is this!)
