WHO ARE WE? WHAT DO WE WANT? The current MFU ordinance has been in existence since 1999, with only minor changes occurring over the last 8 years.

Mobile vending initiatives have swept the nation over the last several years, capturing the attention of hungry food fans and setting exciting culinary or retail trends and experiences along the way.

I Have Food I Need Food 09/01/2017

Many kitchens and food businesses are working together with microentrepreneurs to help access, prepare & send food to the right places in accordance with priorities, needs, business practice, food code and service requirements.

there are protocol, procedure & communications needs, by default as well as right now, for people who HAVE FOOD and NEED FOOD. this is not a criticism but a touch on some things to consider as these folks adapt to make their work reach even more as effectively as possible.

We're thrilled to announce the Institute for Justice has come to the city of Houston, TX today to get involved with our mobile food community! IJ has worked with food truck owners across the country in multiple markets, scoring major victories in New Orleans and Washington, D.C., where the city’s mobile food laws prevented food truck owners from being able to earn an honest living.

Houston Chronicle: Let food trucks operate downtown

Instead of the usual Metro buses and commuter cars, the streets around City Hall weekend before last were a playground of multicolored creations, with the seventh annual Via Colori Street-Painting Festival bringing some vibrant hues to downtown's gray potholes ("Art doesn't last but good feeling will linger on," Page B2, Nov. 19). Around 200 artists decorated the streets with chalk designs ranging from Disney characters to geometric landscapes, and one work that can only be described as "N**e Einstein," all as a fundraiser for the Center for Hearing and Speech.

That’s it. The rest of the ar...
