Food Trucks – Like or Dislike?
According to two recent articles in the Chicago Sun Times, controversy is heating up in the city of Chicago, Illinois over the legalization of mobile food trucks. Food trucks that sell pre-packaged foods are currently legal in the city of Chicago. However one Chicago Alderman has proposed an ordinance that would allow food truck vendors to prepare and sell hot, made-to-order meals from their trucks.
The ordinance includes guidelines that would not allow a food truck to set up shop within 200 feet of a brick and mortar restaurant or 100 feet of a retail store that sells food. However many restaurant owners feel these guidelines are not strict enough. They feel that mobile food trucks are a viable threat to their bottom line. Instead some feel that mobile food trucks should only be allowed to operate in “food deserts” or neighborhoods in the city that lack restaurants or grocery stores.
