Cannon Beach, Seaside wrestle with the topic of food carts

Logistical, cultural barriers persist

CANNON BEACH — Mike Selberg wants to be able to serve cocktails with the spirits he creates at the Cannon Beach Distillery.

In order to do so, Selberg would have to have a kitchen that satisfies Oregon Liquor Control Commission standards — a costly renovation. Instead, he would like to bring in a food truck for his parking lot, which would satisfy the kitchen requirement and offer a new food option in town.

But there is no way to do that legally in Cannon Beach, which generally prohibits food trucks outside of the weekly farmer’s market.
