Friends in High Places

In Boston, City Council president Michael Ross is calling for a hearing on food trucks –actually, make that “mobile restaurants”–according to an article in the Boston Globe.

“I really support restaurants and see them as transformative devices for neighborhoods,” this enlightened (and well dressed) politician declared, adding, “We need to roll out the welcome mat for businesses, let people know Boston is a business-friendly city, embrace innovation. Food trucks are welcome.”

Also, Boston’s first Food Truck Festival is to take place August 8 in the South End.
