Lee’s Summit gives the green light to food trucks

Late-night eaters just got another option in Lee’s Summit. As the Lee’s Summit Journal reports, the City Council approved a new ordinance last week that places some heavy restrictions on the operation of food trucks within the city limits but allows them to be open between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. (The food truck debate has been a heated one the last three months.)
Under the ordinance, mobile vendors must be at least 60 feet from “brick and mortar” restaurants, although food-truck operators could receive special dispensations for festival or events to open sooner or park in a restricted location. There’s the Rolling Cafe – the food truck arm of the Neighborhood Cafe that dishes up breakfast goods and a cinnamon roll with every order. It’s unclear if Apollo’s Gyros is actually rolling yet. Anyone been to another food truck in Lee’s Summit?
