STL French Quarter food truck to hit the streets in October

A New Orleans-themed food truck will soon hit the streets. STL French Quarter food truck is expecting to be on the road in October, as reported by St. Louis Magazine. Owner Chuck Hess said he will announce lunch stops around St. Louis City via Facebook.

While he may be new to the food truck scene, he’s no stranger to St. Louis restaurants. A graduate of St. Louis Community College's culinary program, he has worked in the kitchens of St. Louis Country Club, Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark and 801 Chophouse. “I was ready to get out of the corporate world and do my own thing,” he said.

Hess makes the andouille sausage and tasso ham in-house and will use them in classic NOLA dishes like po’boys and shrimp and crawfish étouffée. He’s also looking forward to playing with the menu. “With a name like French Quarter, you have some flexibility,” he said.

Hess’ truck is still in the works, but curious customers can get a taste of what’s to come Friday and Saturday nights at Modern Brewing from 4:30 to 10 p.m.
