Food trucks will be allowed in Clayton under limited circumstances following the passage of a new law Tuesday night by the city's Board of Aldermen. Under Bill No. 6348, mobile food-vending equipment will only be allowed at private parties where the event host—not customers who step up to the counter—pays for any purchases, a memo from City Manager Craig Owens states.

Eureka bans the practice, which also came to light again several months ago when a Chesterfield cupcake maker tried to operate in the area and generated Facebook buzz when it didn't happen. The Show-Me Institute has campaigned in its writings against the bans on food trucks, which it says are anti-competitive. In a recent post on the Maplewood situation, the authors said a move to ban food trucks would "…

I think these are good points that could be mitigated by having a designated area of the public street whee food trucks could operate. Rather than mire it down in complex formulas as to who can operate where and when (and I dont think you are doing this) a simple area or areas where food trucks can pull over and operate (like a no parking zone except a food truck parking zone). I'm also not … more ›
