I think toronto&#39;s asian community should take advantage of this to set up a year round night market similar to the ones found in many places in asia with foods such as oyster omlettes, bo bia, spring rolls, dumplings, and other stuff :)]]>

David, that's an excellent idea.  I too frequent the fresh fruit carts when I'm in NYC for work, and was always wondering when we'd start seeing those here in Toronto.]]>

In Seoul you can get just about everything on the streets at night. Mandu, stuffed eel, steamed(?) nuts, squid, tiny pizzas, hamburgers, ice cream waffles, and on and on.]]>

I hope there will be vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables (not prepared salads) from their carts like there are every few blocks in New York. 

I bought my fruits and veggies from these vendors on a daily basis when I lived in New York. It's a wonderful addition to the city and a very healthy one. 

It's time Toronto implements this idea in our city.  ]]>

Finally!!

It was incredibly irresponsible that our Ministry of Health would only allow us to buy processed, nitrate-sodium-fat-filled suasages and hot dogs on the streets. 

What kind of an insane Ministry of Health do we have that promotes eating this kind of horrible junk and forbids by law the sale of healthy food???  The Ministry of Health is supposed to encourage health not sickness! 

I'm surprised there hasn't been massive protests against this earlier and that it has taken Health Minister George Smitherman this long to implement changes. The Minister of Health should have been raked over the coals a long time ago for this. 

Now we just need to follow the example of Oregon and force the Minister of Health to remove junk food from Ontario's school system. ]]>

Sameer: I don't think there's a direct link since it's a provincial decision, not a municipal one. The city's been pushing for it for a while, but the province had the final say.

I agree with you, though: vendor carts that become part of the public realm beyond just the sale of food would be an amazing addition to our street furniture.]]>

How does this tie into Multi-Story Complex's great <a target="_blank" href="http://multistorycomplex.org/street_food_vending_project">Street Food Vending Project</a>?  Did the city look at the results of their research before taking up this project?

<a target="_blank" href="http://multistorycomplex.org/">Multi-Story Complex</a> was at <a href="http://blogto.com/city/2007/06/live_at_opencities_toronto_2007/">OpenCities</a> a few weeks ago, and what I loved most about their presentation was that not only did they want to increase the diversity of food available through street vendors, but they wanted to use this diversity to reclaim sidewalks as a place for public congregation.]]>
