    Seattle really lacks in this. Don’t know what the reasons are, but I don’t think climate is one because New York and Chicago have great street food and they are way colder. I’d love to see more food trucks and street carts in downtown. It gives you more options than going to have to sit in a restaurant when you don’t want to.

    I was thinking parts of Alki Beach would be a great location to see a number of mobile food carts and food trucks selling varieties of cuisine.

    Jiggers, you’re right: Alki would be a killer location for food carts & trucks.

    I like La Fondita (the people are great) and Mee Sum Bakery in Pike Place Market. Not actually a cart, but an open air take-out counter – kinda the same thing. Love their chicken mushroom hum bow.

    There are a lot of regulations on carts/trucks and they are changing rapidly but I also think we need to be fair to the brick and mortars in places like alki beach who have to pay rent year round instead of just pulling up on sunny days when business is booming. I don’t want to see chain carts like monster dogs or a falafel chain trailer every 60 yards along the beach like they are in Manhattan. Maybe a couple spaces on a rotating lottery basis would be fair in months when there’s business enough for all

    But Cream Cheese Bagel Dogs are yummy

    You may be interested to see this coverage of a Seattle food truck upstart from 2011:

    The road to a street-food debut: Damiana’s Blue Truck Special

    It includes a bit of the history of the resistance to food trucks in Seattle, the challenges entrepreneurs face in getting food trucks up and running, and how things are slowly changing.

    I just had crawdads and grits from matt last night….ooolala

    and Mee Sum should qualify and also should be considered a City Treasure, they rock the humbow like no one else.

    Can’t go wrong with wood-fired pizza from Veraci
