Steps

  1. Query https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/uupf-x98q.json?license_description=Special%20Event%20Food to scope to license_code 1329
  2. Read business_activity for the duration variant text, e.g. '5 Day Single Event - Special Event Food'
  3. Compare license_start_date to expiration_date - these licenses run for a matter of days, not the multi-year terms used by standing Mobile Food or Retail Food licenses
  4. Use account_number and site_number together with legal_name to disambiguate an operator that holds both a standing Mobile Food License and a one-off Special Event Food license
