Comment: This is an interesting thought for several reasons. First, is that many people assume that what is commonly known as 'street food' has been part of a culture for hundreds of years. That the Chinese, Thai, Mexicans have always sold food in little stalls at market. That this food is just part of the culture these consumers are visiting. But in reality street food has only become more common because it is quick and easy, oh lets not forget cheap. But to think that street food which can, for the most part be found in every country on this planet can help fight against globalization is a bit ironic. When you think about it though the idea makes perfect sense. Bring food from the surrounding area to a centralized location, make it cheap and easy to eat and wah la you now have local street food.
Question: The question that arises when we think of this phenomenon in relation to San Diego is essentially: Does San Diego even have 'street food'? And if we consider the food sold at Farmer's Markets street food then when did San Diego's Farmer Markets start and gain popularity?
