ICYMI: Dallas City Council Greenlights Food Trailers
growth of food truck businesses in Dallas has long been stymied by regulation
These specific changes were the result of a yearlong study and the MLK Food Park, a four-weekend pop-up incubator last summer spearheaded by the nonprofit Better Block, which studies ways to foster growth in communities. After the event, the Better Block Mobile Food Vending Task Force worked closely with the city to compare notes. They also looked at what other cities, like Austin, were doing.
Austin's Golden Tiger is a small food truck pushing out amazing chicken sandwiches. Now Dallas will allow operations like this.The barrier to entry in the former code primarily hinged on the fact that fifth-wheel trailers were not allowed to operate in Dallas unless it was a special event, in which a $250 daily permit was required. Trailers, which are pulled by another vehicle, are much more affordable than food trucks. A prime example is 225 BBQ, which operates in Arlington.
