Winter may be coming, but that won’t stop die-hard food truck fans. If house-made sausages aren’t your thing, check out STL BLT, which aims to fire up the griddle Dec. 1, as reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The truck will offer the variations on the classic bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, from traditional to seasonal and regional riffs on the classic.
Owner Aaron Wren brought in professional help in the kitchen. Michael Allen is a five-year restaurant vet and responsible for menu development. Look for a recognizable BLT on sourdough with mayo as well as more creative offerings like a Southern BLT with fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese. “Anything you can imagine,” said Wren. “It really takes on a life of its own.”
The truck will use bread from local bakeries and will serve Mississippi Mud coffee as temps drop. A grand opening is in the works with updates found on the truck’s Twitter page @STLBLTs.
