From Our Far-Flung Correspondents

Cool-hunter and muse Alfredo Aponte, who launched our blog and recently moved to Denmark and, hopefully, a career in design, filed the following from Copenhagen with a sincere hope that Octane should take note and perhaps give Atlanta a version of the KobenKaffe!
Tips From All Over

Dave Jones recently returned from a short vacation in Seagrove Beach, Florida, where he ran across a bunch of Airstream trailers parked on the central square in prissy Seaside. “I only got a chance to snack at the Barefoot BBQ trailer,” he writes, “but all seemed to be doing a rollicking business. All together, there was the barbecue, a fruit stand/bar, cupcakes, ice cream and a juice bar.”
Jones, who has been interested in the idea of a street food scene in Atlanta since a trip to Asia some years ago, hopes to get involved.
“Nice to see some movement!” he wrote us.
Amen!

Having food trucks on campus or nearby is an excellent move for many universities, and we can only wish that, when the students return to Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Emory, Agnes Scott, Atlanta University, et al., scenes such as these taken at Penn last month by a friend of ours will provide an alternative to dining halls and fast food!
Californians Have All the Luck!

Look closely at the picture and you’ll recognize the landscape: Los Angeles (perhaps Santa Monica) rather than Buford Highway…
We, too, would love access to roasted Peking duck tacos and shrimp dumplings!
