It gives me moderate-to-great pleasure to report that the mobile booking trailer, two helicopters and eight black-and-whites that were tasked with shutting down the baconwrapped vendors at last year’s Dia de los Muertos festival in Hollywood were nowhere in sight for 2006. Baconwrapped goodness permeated the night air inside and outside the Hollywood Forever cemetery.

    You may recall my post here that references a post from losanjealous from earlier this year about street vendors. Watch out for these non-permitted, sidewalk vendors. I’m not blaming them for trying to make a living, but I’m concerned about the lack of regulation and adherence to health codes.

    LA City Nerd: I have been looking for a Baconwrapped reviewer for some time, thanks for the reminder. Please let me know if you are up to the task. It would require eating one juiced baconwrapped from a different vendor each week, for the next 85 weeks. If you’re not up for it, please let me know ASAP. I may ask Spike; he’s tired of hibernation.

    nickn’s law: if it’s sizzlin’ on a grill, it’s safe to eat! I didn’t buy one because I had eaten earlier, but they sure smelled good. Carpe freakin’ Diem! (or hot dog, as the case may be.)

    LA City Nerd: I hope your reliance on permits don’t weigh heavily on the L.A. City permit because there isn’t one that the City has that focuses on whether or not a food item sold is worthy of human consumption. It’s a gamble when buying from a L.A. street food vendor, yeah, but I can get ill from restaurant food just the same. Don’t knock the business, just because the City can’t get their act together.
