Update (April 2026): More than a decade later, food trucks in St. Louis are still fighting the same battles, most recently after a bill to expand their operating areas was stalled when the Cardinals objected to losing exclusive vending control around Busch Stadium.

We caught up with some food truck vendors at the 2014 St. Louis Food Truck rally last Saturday. David Stokes asked them about the their fight against red tape in St. Louis city and county. Things are getting better, but there’s still work to be done.
