SaveOurTacoTrucks.org


While @DwellOnDesign this past weekend, we had the opportunity to attend a few of the panel discussions during the conference, one of which was themed after the sudden resurgence of mobile eateries in-and-around Los Angeles. One of the panelists was Christopher Rutherford, a man for whom we have come to find a great deal of respect for, and the co-Founder of SaveOurTacoTrucks.org. This organization lobbies to preserve the remaining rights (they have very few) of the mobile taco trucks & street vendors, trying to find reasonable alternatives to recent city ordinences that prohibit these hard-working people who make a living providing us with the awesomeness that we know as the late night taco truck. Their tagline 'Carne Asada is Not a Crime' certainly caught my attention and aside from showing my support by patronizing the local taco trucks, I thought it was important to give Mr. Rutherford a quick shout out for the work that he has done, and continues to do to keep this quintessential LA business model alive and well.

So c'mon y'all, spend the $5 for an incredibly tasty homecooked meal, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TACO TRUCK. Where else are you going to get our street meat? Wait...that sounded weird.
