The Fight To Legalize LA's Street Food Scene

from How To LA · host LAist Studios

#16: Street vending has been legal in L.A. for a few years now, but state health codes made it almost impossible for smaller vendors - especially food vendors - to get permitted. That process will become easier on January 1, 2023, thanks to a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September. HTLA host Brian De Los Santos and team get a behind the scenes look at how it all happened - the hard work that took place on the ground level - and what this change means for the vendors and for customers.  Guests: Juan Espinoza, lawyer with Public Counsel who works on their Community Development Project; Rosario Meléndez, street food vendor in Koreatown.
