Entrepreneurs and eaters alike are being asked to weigh in on the state of street food in the city.

The first of two public consultations scheduled for this month takes place Tuesday night, as part of the City of Toronto's review of food vending bylaws.

According to the city's public invitation, the review is aimed at creating "a harmonized, city-wide street food vending bylaw that balances the interests of all stakeholders and encourages a vibrant street food experience for the public."

The meeting takes place in Committee Room 1 at City Hall on Queen Street, between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

While hot dog vendors have long been a fixture on downtown streets, and there are several dozen food trucks that ply their trade in parts of the city, Toronto has tried to diversify the offerings available before.

The last time city officials got involved, however, their "A La Cart" program was widely panned as a bust due to a tangle of rules that included restrictions on what vendors could serve, and specified the type of carts they had to sell from.

This time round, the city is considering a different approach that could see a wider variety of foodstuffs and provisions for trucks to set up shop in commercial parking lots.

As part of the review process, a feasibility program saw food trucks in business at city parks between August and October of last year.

Data from that period, as well as the results of the public consultations this month, will be included in an upcoming report by the Street Food Working Group to the Licensing and Standards Committee.

According to the Working Group's website, that report is due "in advance of the spring 2014 vending season."
