Top Chefs Speak Up

While in Chicago with the Top Chef Tour, Chef Kevin Gillespie of Woodfire Grill in Atlanta and his colleague Mike Isabella from Zaytinya in D.C. declared themselves in favor of street food.
Gillespie thought that “food carts would get people to try new and different food” and that they are “a perfect way to showcase a few treasures from all sorts of cultures.” Debunking the notion that food trucks hurt brick-and-mortar restaurants, Kevin stated that food carts actually increase the likelihood of someone going to an actual restaurant.
