The Fight to Protect Street Food Vendors

Overview

From tacos to hot dogs, some of the most popular and iconic Los Angeles food started with street vendors. In this episode of our Emmy-nominated docuseries, Hungry For More, we highlight the stories of street vendors in Los Angeles - cooking what they love, and driven by the need to provide for their families. Survival for street vendors in LA has gotten increasingly difficult due to strict and overly complicated permitting laws. Yet these micro-entrepreneurs continue their fight to activate spaces and provide affordable and delicious meals to their community.
