STANDING UP TO CITY HALL: Boloco owner blasts city over food giveaway permit.

A Boston burrito chain owner was seeing cayenne red on Thursday after a charitable turn for a mayoral event was met with a threat from city inspectors.

And, to the apparent dismay of Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Boloco CEO John Pepper vented his frustration the social media way — on Twitter.

In a series of tweets, Pepper relayed his run-in with City Hall after he agreed to donate 200 burritos to celebrate Menino’s signing of a contract for Boston’s first bike-sharing system.

First, demand free food. Then, demand that the donor pay to get a city permit. Then, “dismay” when he’s unhappy. Ungrateful serfs!
