You know how good the Dai Due Grilled Kielbasa with Housemade Sauerkraut tastes on Saturday mornings at the downtown Farmers’ Market? Well, I would hold on to that memory, because you are not going to be able to get one for the foreseeable future. The City of Austin Health Department has reinterpreted the text of a “mobile temporary event” permit. This will effect anyone who is cooking: Dai Due, Aster’s Ethiopian and Thai Fresh. Taco Deli has their food already prepared, so they are unaffected. I guess Torchy’s Tacos isn’t affected, because they have nothing to do with the market, they just pull their roach coach up next to it.
Tell the City what you think: Sustainable Food Policy Board Meeting, Mon, March 22, 12:30pm – 2:30pm
Thank you for posting on this topic. Let’s all speak up!
AUGH ridiculous!
Absurd!!!
NO!!! That’s one of my favorite parts of visiting the bf’s family every year in Austin. Totally lame.
Jesus H. I never even got one. Dammit.
Some movement on this front. The Sustainable Food Policy Board has moved up time to noon, to allow more comments. AND…City Councilmembers Cole, Martinez and Riley are supporting a resolution to have the city manager’s office look at seeing how other TX cities allow hot food at markets, and to come up with code revisions to do the same in Austin. Citizens, unite in supporting this resolution by simply stating “affirmative” (you don’t have to speak) on a comment card in the electronic kiosk at City Hall. For March 25th meeting!
