Street Tucker, a series of photos of "Food found on the streets of New York City." There's a whole genre of "food left on bike seats."

Street Tucker (via MeFi)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    As someone who is both hungry and unable to eat because she has no money, I can say that I wish Denver were more like this.

      I came to protest on your behalf, but I’m glad someone with a more personal connection to the issue is here to do it for me.

      Not that food being wasted is news, but it always disgusts me to see it. This isn’t a particular heinous example though, to be fair.

    Who throws out or loses Sriracha sauce ? If I found that, I would be like Homer in that episode where he chases that rotisserie pig, ” It’s still good, it’s still good ! ” .

    That really happens? People just leave food in random places?

    I mean, other than the ones that are obviously an “accidental drop”

      I’m ashamed to say, I’ve done it.

      You eat out, you get a doggy bag, then suddenly you all decide to go for drinks… Things happen (drunk things) and food gets left somewhere “hilarious”…

      Perhaps I just drink too much…

    If you care to take a look, I regularly document liquor I find on the streets of Chicago, and happily take submissions.  http://sidewalkliquor.tumblr.com
