Thanks to every­one who attended the First Annual Street Food Con­fer­ence, an explo­ration of food, pol­icy and eco­nom­ics. We all enjoyed the lively dis­cus­sions about the cre­ation of viable eco­nomic mod­els that allow small-scale food entre­pre­neurs to bring the foods they love to the cities in which they live.
