While an occasional portion of street meat is not going to kill you daily dog consumption isn't the best for your heart or your belly. Have no fear! We can still get a quick bite to eat and maybe get even more culture thrown into the mix.

We say goodbye to the sausage, hello to the samosa," Health Minister George Smitherman said yesterday in announcing regulatory changes. "We say today goodbye to street meat, hello to more salads."

"It's fantastic to be able to have calamari fritti in one place, a little bruschetta in the other. It adds variety," Massimo Capra, executive chef at Mistura restaurant said. "If everyone brought one cart with one particular dish, hey, I would be out every day walking."
