Rules committee meets today on food trucks.


The Rules Committee of the Jackson City Council meets today. Meanwhile, Councilman Whitwell, Nathan Glenn, and Jeff Good are meeting right now at Broad Street Bakery. Here is a good article on the food truck scene in Portland and how it works for that city. Leave it to Jackson to screw it up with possible brick and mortar requirements, 150-foot exclusions zones (goodbye Fondren), and limits on how many one can own (Can't have someone be too successful.). Here is the agenda:

Who is Nathan Glenn?

Man, I sure as hell hope they pass it! It would add so much more diversity to the area. My guess is that downtown will get some much needed variety and who know, it might just put a twist on late night!

Glenn = Basil's/Rooster's owner.

At first I thought that pic was a bit creepy and voyeuristic, but then I figured, knowing Q, that it's staged.

Nope. Was sent to me by someone who reads my site. See, JJ is like Fight Club. You never know where we are. Might be the guy taking out your trash. Might be the secretary a lawyer hit on just one too many times. Might be the cop who was put in his place by a political big wig. Might be the woman babysitting your kids. You never know.

"Whenever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, Jackson Jambalaya'll be there. Whenever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, JJ'll be there... JJ'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad an'-JJ'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build-why, Jackson Jambalaya'll be there."

Jeff and Nathan on the same project, wow, that is kinda like Berkowitz and Damher hanging out......

Not to kill the buzz, but isn't this a pic of them eating and talking in the foyer of Banner Hall?

I wouldn't call that a "smoky, back room" meeting. I don't think you could find a less private place than that, in fact.

@10:13; Really? Really?

Will Councilman Twitterwell be meeting with any of the black restaurateurs in Jackson to hear them out about the proposed ordinance?

Anonymous said...

Yes 11:33, if they show any interest in it. I am sure he will meet with ANY restaurateur that shows interest. The wheel that squeaks loudest gets the grease, no matter the brand. Or they can come to the public meetings, or like you, anonymously blog while everyone else is acting or working.

Curt Crowley said...

Get ready. This ordinance is going to be the "Jeff Good Profit Protection Act of 2011."

Are you Whitwell's anonymous spokesperson? How do you know they haven't shown an interest?

Careful Jeff, Nathan was so successful in the Auditorium, whatever he touched turns to cupcakes......

4:36 - Nathan Glenn held up his end of the bargain on the Auditorium...it was the Frasfools who failed to produce the evening crowd/musical talent. Nathan busted his ass to pack that place but you cannot pay the overhead on that place on chicken leg lunches. So do the rest of us a favor and before you start to type again, go try to learn something about the topic.

Guy just tried to do a foodtruck presentation at city hall for the council. The chambers do not have ANY internet connection. No hardline, wireless, NOTHING.

Not surprising that a city this primitive can't figure out food trucks. "The Best of the New South". Good Lord.

1:15, your ignoramus! How do you know they HAVE? What a moron. Get out of the caveman suit.

JBH said...

WOW Really Jeff Good? Like you need more money.You already own 3 of the most successfull restaurants in Jackson...why don't you let the little man have a shot!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
