Fine Food on the Go in Saint Louis City



Food Trucks are a trend that’s been lively on the coasts for a few years now, and while they entered the dining scene in St. Louis just a short time ago, there is no question that they are here to stay. Today, an ever-growing number of trucks and wagons take to the streets each day, tweeting out their locations so hungry diners can line up for a meal on the run. St. Louisans can now get just about anything they want from these mobile culinary mavens from pizza to tacos, cupcakes to crepes', sushi to sausages, at a price that's easy on the pocketbook. 

Sauce Magazine kicked off their first Food Truck Friday of the year on May 11, 2012, and this monthly tradition continues to thrive on the 2nd Friday of every month on the southwest side of Tower Grove Park from 5-8pm. 

The craze is catching on, so here are some of Sauce Magazine’s top tips for Food Truck Friday:
  1. Be early:  The early bird gets the cupcake. Don't be let down by showing up to late. 
  2. Bring seating:  chairs or blankets and mark your turf. 


  3. Divide and conquer:  Hit up a few different trucks with friends, then share the goodies. 


  4. Find a volunteer:  Volunteers will be able to answer questions and direct you to your favorite trucks.
  5. Park far from the trucks:  longer trek but faster getaway.
