hyperbole, by j0rdan s.

street food tends to mean something because of the inherent limitations of the medium xp

I wager a 4H fair in Iowa would probably be at least top 20 tho

Eh there are advantages to street food

Hawkers don't have to pay rent for one thing, obv there's costs with a truck and getting a license

But if you're running a stall that you hitch to the back of your car

And you're running illegal or in a place with lax licensing

It reduces the barrier to entry

Also it's harder to do smokey stuff indoors like open pit charcoal

And sometimes food just isn't improved by sitting down and eating it, it has to be on a stick

fair stall food usually benefits some sort of club where adults drink beer and host their kids' birthday parties. I don't care about your club. what's your overhead?

I am fine w/ paying less money for food and eating it on a stick, but often places in buildings also offer cheap food on a stick

like the above photo looks suspiciously like a room in a building

I took it outside!

龜 otm multiple xps.

the point of street food is that you can take it and go and eat outside at the place of your choosing. take-out from a restaurant with all the boxes and containers and stapled paper bag is a totally different thing.

I mean if you want to get technical yes some stalls are actually just street-facing rooms inside a building, but they don't have places to sit and everything they sell is on a stick and it's cheap, it's still street food imo

Even if it's indoors, hawker centers in Singapore or wet markets in HK are still within the street food ambit imo

snow cones' portability make them the ultimate street food. but they are unfairly cast as dessert only. where are your hot dog syrups? your taco syrups?

Like even though the food here is being prepared 'inside' this is still street food

manhattan's street food culture is limited by permits, similar to taxis you can probably say that the current system is stifling but zero limits would also be a mess

on Sunday i paid $11 for two smallish fish tacos in ASBURY PARK

as u were

Zero limits would probably flood the streets with people which would make it harder for private car ownership, it's a win-win I think you can agree

'hyperbole by j0rdan s.'

literally every inch of space in manhattan would have someone's street cart or another in it, eventually everyone would starve to death because nobody could move

NYC's draconian permit system drove the brave and the few to Madison Square Park, one of the few places in Bloomberg's fascist NYC where one could operate a shack in peace

I think we all know how that story turned out

The piles of dead bodies in the street would further inhibit the movement of cars, again a win-win xp

an ex gf of mine once defended china's total lack of street food regulation by saying "it's so much simpler than in america, if you get food poisoning from a cart just don't go there again"

eh dead bodies don't usually stop cars

If everybody could just operate a food cart instead of having to rent storefront property then rents all across the city would go down too

In short, deregulate NYC

龜, food libertarian

the more NYC looks like kowloon walled city the better imo

is someone working on a lyft/uber like service for food? we need an app called füd that would allow me to sell half of the sandwich I just made to passersby.

from what I can tell approximately 50% of startups are that

also it should be called fuiud

lol

they should have a deal or no deal type show where these trey songz features are in 50 separate cases and i have to go down to 1 to listen to for the rest of my life. the deal they offer me after every round is the chance to shoot myself in the head.

Why don’t we just have birthday drinks on the tarmac at JFK?

<3

*applause*

Hanging out with your good buds in the calm of someone’s living room.

bars are for people with no friends and/or no living room imo

sitting alone in your living room, realizing no one else is there or even going to show up, slowly carving a deep groove into the couch with your ass (and eventually, your entire body when you realize there is no reason to sit and not lay down), empty beverage and food containers on one side of the coffee table since you know no one is going to judge you beyond your own inner self-loathing

this is also why bars are full of regulars who have self-loathing

i gritted my teeth through the cousinfucking story, my patience is used up sir!!

I also fucking hate bars and invite jordan to hang out all the time and he never does

I hang out with my friends at Golden Corral.

I like bars. Not all bars, but I like bars. You can fill in the blanks about self-loathing.

bars are wonderful, love yourself
