A great concept where families are cooking and serving delicious food on E. 49th Ave. from Main to Fraser.

One cart, Mighty Cone is an offshoot of a posh and pricey Austin restaurant, Hudson’s on the Bend. Just think what a food cart with ties to The Cannery, Vij’s or Chambar might be like.

Probably not because they were so poorly promoted and located (since they were not associated with VANOC). My friend ran a unique mini-spring roll stand and business was not good.
