Finally! Something sorta resembling a street food pod like the ones overrunning that city to the south.
Starting next week, eight vendors—Buns, Street Treats, Kaosamai, Lumpia World, Fusion on the Run, Here and There, Pai’s, Curry Now!—will dish up curb cuisine on the corner of Second and Pine. Unlike in Stumptown, the four-wheelers won’t coalesce all at once; rather they’ll team up in pairs and take turns slinging lunch weekdays 11-2 and dinner from 4-8:30. (Check out which vendors are serving when here.)
Just a couple days ago city council met to again weigh legislation that would ease up street food rules, specifically the allowance of zones like the one here. Is the Second and Pine pod a sign of things to come? Maybe!

Yes, food truck pods will expand: for the City, a temporary use of vacant public land; for real estate developers, building sites where construction did not take place 2008-2011; for the people; food trucks in “urban deserts” for affordable good-for-you meals; for food trucks; no hassles from police and NIMBY brick & mortars plus higher daily sales.
Food trucks pods and roundups for the greater good. See Off-the-Grid in San Francisco.
