Abolish the LA County Bureaucracy

And allow the grilled, bacon-wrapped hot dog to flourish in freedom.

LA Weekly: “So you can imagine the frustration of vendors like Palacios, caught between the demands of the market and the demands of the law. She would love to sell bacon-wrapped hot dogs — trust her — but a trip last year to the women’s county jail, a trip she says officials orchestrated to ‘make an example’ of her, finally pushed her to give up the bacon and illegal grilling device she used for so long. Instead, she prepares dogs the only way the county Environmental Health Department currently allows, by boiling or steaming. Not grilling. And grilling is the only way to make a classic L.A. bacon-wrapped hot dog.” (Thanks to Brent Peterson.)
