As I said in a previous post...this has been going on for years...it's not about money it's about getting the actual license.
Norman would be too proud to beg/ask for money...he's a business man that is trying to get the law reinterpreted.

For those that didn't read all the previous posts...Norman was back on the beach almost immediately.

I can understand the laws . But if this applies to guys like Norman and the jerk pork man and does it also apply to the people that sells fresh orange juice and fruit and what about the cake lady ? I can certainly think of a lot of other reasons to not allow certain types of sales on the beach, and as far as having a physical location to operate this type of business is there really a standard followed in the majority of stands that sets them apart from the two guys that walk the beach with those tasty treats people look forward to purchasing ?

Industrious and committed vendors should look at all sharing said "physical location" with refrigeration or whatever is needed to comply with requirements. No reason to not share a home base and be legal; seems they all sell different but complimentary treats that are in demand.

nj,

The laws for food vendors applies to all food vendors. The physical location to be inspected and licensed has always been part of the laws. The food handlers license were added in the past 5 years or so.

Yes, there is and has been standards for years.

That is a great idea and Norman and I talked about this option as well. As I mentioned earlier, the business model does need to change. Food safety inspections are common sense laws.

Thanks … any vendor that worked a creative idea would surely have pride intact and then some. I just hope good traditions can go forth but abide for the better.

Warmth and all that jazz.

Ahhhh...I understand what you're saying...but I don't think of Norman and Dean as underdogs...more like hardworking entrepreneurs...
Yup...always show support for these vendors...they rock!
