Once a month from May through October, more than 20 trucks assemble in Tower Grove Park for Food Truck Friday.
The food-truck presence in St. Louis has blown up like metal in a microwave. (There’s even a guild now: the St. Louis Food Truck Association.) The curious use Facebook and Twitter to track down everything from pizza to falafel to arancini. For those looking to grab a quick bite, here’s all you need to know about meals and wheels.
Note: For street food served from brick-and-mortar locations, see "Where to find the best street food in St. Louis."
