Chef and restaurateur Susan Feniger, one half of the team that created the “Two Hot Tamales” TV cooking episodes and restaurants with a latin theme such as City Cafe, City Restaurant, Ciudad and Border Grill, which includes a Las Vegas branch. She has developed a new concept: Global Street Food, which amounts to up-scale vendor food to be consumed in relative comfort off the street. It is called Street and located on Highland Avenue in Hollywood; she is assisted by her protégé Kajsa Alger. They are now open, and almost immediately after releasing their menu and prices, criticism about high-pricing for street food is circulating on the web. This was to be expected, and it will stop, and they will find their niche.
