Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In some American cities, street food means a lot more than hot dogs, hot nuts and potato chips. But the complex rules for carts and trucks often affect the menu. We explore why D.C.’s rules may promote a street food renaissance, and why dishes from curry to cupcakes are flying off carts and trucks all over town.
Guests
- Tim Carman Food Writer, Washington City Paper
- Justin Vitarello Co-Founder, The Fojol Brothers of Merlindia, A Traveling Culinary Carnival
