SPUR Young Urbanists: From Tamales to Creme Brulee: The economics of streetfood

"Is the recent surge in street food a reflection of a struggling economy, or part of a larger trend in food culture?  Most of this commerce occurs illegally, with vendors struggling to understand or afford the proper permits.

SPUR Young Urbanist programming is generously supported by the Koret Foundation."
