The City of Fresneck has told the Dusty Buns Bistro Bus to stay off Fresno streets. Reason: "The trend will grow & affect restaurants." Yet Dusty Buns is permitted, licensed, taxed and health coded.
But somehow, a taco truck parked in a parking lot or a lunch truck parked in the street in front of a construction site, doesn't. But a bistro truck parked along the street (not in front a restaurant) affects restaurants more.
Bistro trucks (like Dusty Buns) pretty much operate in most major cities. Most.
It may not be over though. Dusty B' is "...studying up new Food Truck permits, organized zones & appropriate regulations in SF. Let's hope our Growing City of FRESNO considers them." And, we hear they may have some support within Fresno's city workings.
Dusty has some tasty tasty food and adds some hipness to our city. Hope it works out. If not, Thursday night's on Wishon Row may never be the same.
