"Complying with the existing mobile vending code makes it difficult, if not impossible, for food truck operators to earn a living. Mobile vendors need to have access to customers to succeed, yet it appears that current laws are designed to limit the number of people a food truck operator can realistically expect to serve. I want to live in a city that encourages small business, but current food truck policy does the opposite.
As a Pittsburgh resident and consumer, I support pro-food truck reform because I desire good and plentiful dining options. Furthermore, I want my city to create a business environment that empowers entrepreneurs of all types to add value to the place I call home."

Street Foods
Two recent culinary school grads decided to start a mobile food business in early 2013, shortly after they returned from a 3-month tour of Europe. Their mission is to start with whole ingredients and create their versions of typical street foods from countries all over the world. They travel throughout the city of Pittsburgh and it's surrounding areas, with a unique menu that is always changing.
