Napa’s newest food truck is back at its downtown Napa location Thursdays and Fridays, with a new partner and some unexpected menu additions — including a pulled pork sandwich.
A new addition will be the Food Truck Stop, which will see several local food trucks setup shop on Randolph Street.
Food truck fans were out in force Tuesday night when the Napa City Council discussed how best to regulate the mobile eateries, an agenda item requested by the Napa Chamber of Commerce.
A group of stakeholders in the food truck industry will join to formulate new rules to guide them.
TONIGHT: The Napa City Council will discuss food trucks when it meets at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
The chamber is asking that stakeholders group of made up of food truck owners, restaurant owners, residents and others be formed to write a draft ordinance for city consideration. It is offering to work with the city in forming or running the group, Lisa Batto, chamber CEO, said.
The city’s concerns could take three months and more than $10,000 to address, said Andrew Siegal, owner of the event grounds, 728 First St., where his food truck, Dim Sum Charlie’s, is parked.
Around 10 gourmet food trucks from Napa and Sonoma counties gather and serve locals and visitors. The event has been successful for five months without any major issues.
After flying under the permit radar for years, Napa’s 14 food truck operators are working with the city to set things straight.
