Highlight Event of The Week: Sigel’s Food Truck Experience
In Dallas, food trucks can only set up on private property unless there is a “special event.” The City Council turns a blind eye to the food trucks that park on the street at Klyde Warren Park. The Truck Yard has built an entire business model around food trucks on private property.
Long before KWP and the Truck Yard, though, there was Sigel’s Fine Wine & Great Spirits that stepped up and hosted the first food truck event in August 2011. Since then, virtually every Wednesday, Sigel’s on Greenville Avenue has hosted 4 to 8 food trucks. The attending trucks will vary, but Easy Slider will almost always be there. Pompeii DFW and The Guava Tree are also frequent attendees.
The relationship between the food trucks and Sigel’s has been a relatively good one. It brings significant visibility for Sigel’s at no extra cost. And the food trucks have their established regular clientele who stop by on a Wednesday evening. To build a stronger food truck market in Dallas, we’re going to either need more companies like Sigel’s to realize the symbiotic relationship, or the Dallas City Council is going to have to direct its staff to develop a more open policy about public parking.
Here’s your schedule for the week. Remember to check Facebook feeds.
