Renia Ehrenfeucht Community and Regional Planning, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, USA ABSTRACT In the late 2000s, food trucks became common in US cities and municipalities debated controversial food truck regulations. When they justify the regulations, municipalities raise safety, health and general welfare concerns, including potential pedestrian congestion. This paper uses the insights from pedestrian behaviour research to determine whether food trucks interfered with pedestrian flow. Based on direct observation of food truck customers and customer- pedestrian interactions in and near the Chicago Loop, the findings show that food trucks served customers most often without interrupting pedestrian flow. In part, this was due to the street furniture zone, including trash cans, bike racks and utility poles that created waiting space along the kerb.

  • Not for Distribution
    Chapter 11: Food, time and space Mobile cuisine in New York and Portland Karen A. Franck and Philip Speranza In the twenty-first century one might expect that the age-old tradition of sell- ing prepared foods in urban public space would have vanished. But in the US the custom flourishes, continuing to draw immigrants to its ranks. One may still encounter a lone Hispanic woman selling tamales, churros or sliced fruit from a grocery cart or Italian ices from a small cart she pushes by hand. But this is rare. Today nearly all vendors rely on trucks they drive or carts that are delivered to the chosen site. A recent change in food vending in the US, which accounts for the Taylorcurrent flourishing and of street food, Francis is the emergence of the gourmet food truck. Their operators aspire not just to cook and sell food but to prepare food made with Notfresh, possiblyfor local distributionor exotic ingredients and of high enough quality to achieve the status of ‘cuisine’, but at affordable prices. The advent of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram allows such trucks to move from place to place without losing their customers. They now number 4,000 nationwide in cities with populations over 100,000 (redOrbit 2014). To explore the topic of mobile cuisine we first take a brief look at the history of street food vending, primarily in New York. Then we consider four features of mobile cuisine: the food, the business, the vehicle and its use of space and time. Our data is drawn from interviews conducted in 2014 with 40 operators of mobile food trucks in New York and 42 operators of stationary carts and stationary trucks in Portland, Oregon, from observations of the sites where they are located and from online sources and previous academic research.

    Title: The Regulation of Mobile Food Vending in New York City Author(s): John C.

The GAFS is a graduate student association that helps students doing food-related work publish and gain professionalization. For more information about the GAFS, please see our website at https://gradfoodstudies.org/. JOHN C. JONES The Regulation of Mobile Food Vending in New York City abstract | Gourmet food trucks are now a common sight on the streets of many United States cities. These trucks represent a recent evolution of a much older tradition of street food vending in urban America. However, food truck entrepreneurs in many cities encounter vending laws designed decades earlier that frequently restrict the operation of their businesses. This paper examines the regulatory framework of mobile food vending in New York City, drawing upon an analysis of popular media articles, civil codes, and government documents. Research reveals a web of municipal and state agencies that regulate mobile food vending, whose requirements are arguably both draconian and overly burdensome. Additionally, analysis suggests several factors contribute to an informal regulatory framework, which reinforces the formal governmental regulation. Finally, in response to ambiguous terminology of mobile food vending, the paper presents a typology of mobile food vending in New York City, which may be useful to those interested in understanding the potential scope of contemporary mobile food vending operations. keywords | Regulation, New York City, Mobile Food Vending, Food Trucks, Local Government INTRODUCTION In addition to the wide variety of in New York City, of which gourmet food trucks are but traditional restaurants in New York City, a quick glance at a part.
