    Minneapolis embraces food trucks. We get a couple more every week.

    Matt's ensemble today is very "sterotypically gay interior designer".

    It seemed like he'd stabilized since the infamous Rainy-Day 'Magician Outfit' incident... but relapses seem to occur.

  3. Al Wayswright   15 years ago

    It's not location-based restaurants who control politicians, it's landlords.

    This hurts landlord rents rates.

  4. Fist of Etiquette   15 years ago

    Voluntary inspections. Let me choose to eat at a filthy dirty uncertified food truck if my fancy is so struck. Let me dine at a greasy spoon whether it has a stamp of approval on display or not. I AM CONSUMER, LET ME CONSUME.

    Gilmore's been drinking the paint thinner again I see.

    Matt looks hot to this lady.
