Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Food trucks lined up in D.C.'s Capitol Hill area.
Food truck operators land their coveted spots via lottery in D.C., but starting in May, those with multiple trucks won’t be able to enter more than one in the drawing. The District’s Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) says unscrupulous vendors are entering “ghost trucks” to game the system and unfairly claim prime locations. The local Food Truck Association says “ghost trucks” are an issue, but they weren’t given enough chance to weigh in on solutions. Kojo discusses the issues with vendors and the DCRA.
Guests
- Sam Whitfield Chairman, DMV Food Truck Association
- Kirk Francis Owner, Captain Cookie & the Milk Man
- Melinda Bolling Director, D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) @DCRA
