Have you gotten any negative feedback since the news hit that Rec and Park said yes to the idea?
Nothing negative, and lots of positive comments. Everybody seems to be really, really happy with the quality of the experience at Fort Mason, and they're happy to see it spreading to other areas. It's been amazing how positive the reaction is.
How about tension with brick-and-mortar restaurants in those neighborhoods?
How much competition is street food with brick-and-mortar vendors? It's easy for a brick and mortar to look outside and say, "Those are my customers!" In reality the type of customer is going to be very different. At a restaurant, the amenities, the experience, is not something street vendors can offer. It's a different experience. I think there's more than enough room for all of us.
How do you thing street food changed in San Francisco since last summer?
I think there's definitely been a progression, partly a progression that Off the Grid will help to facilitate, a transition to a more professional culinary experience.
