KEEPING IT STREET

We have all heard about the city of Vancouver trying to be more street.  Not street like Step Up 2 but street in the fact they are launching a pilot program that will allow 17 more street food locations.  The draw was held by lottery and anyone who was submitting another hot dog cart was denied.

Here are the winners.  The winner has to get their operation up and running by the 31st or else the alternate gets a chance to step up.

I am pretty stoked to try some of these places out, especially the southern BBQ, and the dim sum (I also am stoked about Step Up 3. )  I wonder if Japadog is going to lose some traffic.   Speaking of Japadog, did you hear the news.

Full press release on the street food is here.
