My basic take is, you need a food handlers card to serve and prep food. Why can't these portable carts serve liquor (beer / wine) as there is a temporary fence around the area? Food is being served just like a restaurant or bar.

uhh they can and they do. The first I know about is across from the Original Pok Pok. There is another one in NE that I can't remember the location of at the moment. Prost on Mississippi will let you bring food cart food onto their biergarten patio. edit: I see now there is some new issue about this. source
