Im sure you've seen them too, but have you considered the quality of the food at these establishments? Most are temporary buildings, and some even have extension cords powering the shack or old travel trailer. Using any kind of extension cord for power in this situation is a violation of most city and county electrical codes. Normally, this violation would be a sure fire way of getting the nasty eyesore shut down, but I have spoken with Harris County several times, and it appears that county officials are allowing mexicans, often illegal aliens, to skirt the law. How clean can these joints be when most do not have hot running water, or dishwashers? Do they operate within the Dept. of Health rules? Do you believe these road side shacks and travel trailers dump unsold food each day and start fresh each morning with all new meat items? Why are Harris County officials allowing mexicans to skirt the laws and put the publics health at risk? I've contacted Steve Radack. Commissioner, Precinct 3 on several occasions about the fact that these temporary buildings are not following health dept. rules, and are powered by mere extension cords, but it seems that Steve isn't interested in law violations or the health of his constituents. Commissioner Radack usually is very responsive, and a nice person to talk to, but he's not listening on this issue. Maybe its too politically incorrect for him to help enforce laws that affect illegal aliens. Here is how you can contact Commissioner Radack. Maybe he will listen to you!
