City tweaks food truck formula
Food trucks, after a much lauded introduction, became less prevalent and less talked-about as time wore on. The city is hoping that a new formula will revive the small industry.

That dull roar you hear is everyone in Montreal saying “Duh! No shit, Sherlock!”

The bozos who come up with these rules have somehow made it even worse.
Let ’em serve sandwiches, hot dogs, and fries, and strip the need to have a restaurant location.

What people don’t want a lack of choice, irregular hours, food trucks selling tiny artisanal 8 dollar tacos, but actual consistent inexpensive fast street food like any other city on the planet? Huh.
Also, anyone who thinks there isn’t the density for street food hasn’t spent much tie in the business district on a summer day. It’s shoulder to shoulder all along square Vicky.
Maybe if food trucks weren’t hobbled by the restaurant industry they would do better. This whole “healthy fare” excuse is pretty typical of the doctrinaire morons in City Hall now, but even under Codere they were saying the same thing so it’s obviously a lie being repeated to distract from the real power play here from the restaurant lobby. I wonder how many brown envelopes Coderre got for that decision.

Sometimes I would google the food truck calendar — almost impossible to find — and go to the location and, whoops, no one showed. I’m into food trucks, but the rules were almost designed to ensure everything failed. Asking people who already go to expensive food trucks if they like expensive food trucks is not a great system.
