A Revolution in the Streets.

Atlanta goverment is a party pooper when it comes to the permitting of street food.

Which means Atlantans have been missing out on an egalitarian culinary trend.

Packaged Facts, a leader in consumer market research, has just published Street Food: Culinary Trend Mapping Report, in partnership with the Center for Culinary Development (CCD), a full-service food and beverage development and research company. Their report shows three forces that are influencing the explosive growth of street food in America: going gourmet, globalization and street food fusion.

But there's a movement a-foot: The Atlanta Street Food Coalition is seeking to rectify the situation.

I attended the Urban Picnic at lunchtime yesterday at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market, noshed on curry in a cone, popsicles and etoufee and felt the excitement.

Visit www. http://www.atlantastreetfood.com/ to sign the petition and learn about future events.

Your stomach will thank you.
