What about "home cooking" in restaurants, delis etc? In Brooklyn there are still some places where Momma makes sauces, jellies, cookies what ever that are sold in the stores.

Same with Farmer's Markets. You can't tell me those are regulated.
Farmers markets somehow escape alot of the reasons we have health codes. Go ahead and eat that fish taco, or that whatever it is on a stick. Spin the revolver, pull the trigger. It's your gamble.
Might just as well eat some of that fly covered stuff off the cart in Nuevo Laredo!
He's the one risking the health code violations, not you.
There's still civil court. YOU MADE IT, SOMEONE GOT SICK, OR MAYBE EVEN DIED. Prove he didn't handle it properly!
He has a health dept. inspected, regulated, establishment. He pays insurance. He pays taxes. Are you going to report your earnings? What are you going to tell them when you get busted.
Gee I didn't know any better.... What? I need a tax license to do business?
Huh? I didn't know I needed a REAL kitchen.
Sorry I could go on forever, but I WILL be a stickler on this issue.
I have taken courses on food management. There are things you will never know about proper food handling until you take some of these courses. YOU CAN KILL PEOPLE!!!!
There are reasons equipment must meet standards. There are reasons establishments are inspected. I hate alot of laws. But you know what? When it comes to food and business I put my foot down. They must be followed. Period.
I am as serious as a heart attack here! You can hymn and haw all you want to think of how to skirt the issue.
Last time, if you're going to prepare or serve food that will be sold on a commercial basis.....
FLY RIGHT OR DON'T FLY AT ALL!!!!
