I have to sympathize with the restaurants. The cost of setting up a brick & mortar restaurant in NO is unreal and the competition is fierce. The restaurants are the backbone behind the city's renaissance, they have a lot of clout and they should, if they had not spent fortunes rebuilding the city would be years behind where it is.

Protecting that investment from some guy with a fraction of the commitment is very reasonable. What may seem a 'right' to a consumer has another viewpoint.

There has to be some kind of compromise that can be worked out.

The only thing the food trucks compete with is fast food places.

Do you really think people say "What do you think for dinner tonight, Commander's or food truck?"
