New York Tom's Food Truck hits the streets

New York Tom's Food Truck opened its window for service on Friday, July 29. Owner Tom Jegle hails from The Big Apple, but he has spent the last 30 years in the IT industry here in St. Louis.

“I decided to reinvent myself,” Jegle said. “I looked around at the other food trucks and decided to serve comfort food but have a variety. Some days, you might want vegetarian pasta with a salad for something healthy, or you just might want a meatball sandwich with toasted ravs.”

The menu also features sausages and brats from DiGregorio’s Italian Market, bread from Vitale’s Bakery and a New York classic: black-and-white cookies. All the menu items are priced at less than $10, and he aims to serve meals in one minute.

Jegle plans to serve lunch downtown and dinner outside the Italia-America Bocce Club 2210 Marconi Ave., and The Trophy Room at 5099 Arsenal St. “Every day, I’m learning something, am enthusiastic and feeling encouraged,” said Jegle.
