We have 20 food trucks, local drinks, live music and adoptable puppies

The next Sauce Food Truck Friday of the season will be held at Tower Grove Park on Friday, August 16th from 4-8 p.m. The most notable thing about this special event is that Stray Rescue of St. Louis will be on hand with adoptable dogs and puppies in celebration of National Dog Month. As usual, there will be about 20 trucks parked there that day, and here we highlight six trucks for you to look out for.

Doughboys wood-fired pizza
Known for its freshly baked wood-fired pizzas and abundance of toppings, Doughboy’s offers specialties like the Sweet Hair Chicken with garlic chicken, pineapple, red onions, green peppers and sweet hair sauce, and the Doughboy’s Club with ranch, garlic chicken, bacon and tomatoes. Classic pizzas like Supreme or Buffalo Chicken will also be offered. For those not in the mood for pizza, Doughboy’s will make quesadillas with your choice of fillings. Sodas and bottled water will also be available.

G Burrito
This truck offers burritos, quesadillas and nachos with beef or chicken, which can be ordered plain or as a fajita with tomatoes, onions and peppers. There are also street tacos with cilantro, onions and a choice of carne asada, chicken or al pastor in three handmade corn tortillas.

Clara B’s kitchen table
Clara B’s offers an extensive menu of Southern fare. In addition to classics like shrimp and grits, spicy chicken pears with honey, and bacon mac and cheese, there are also some new creations like Frito Pie Taquitos and a honey smoked pork belly roll. For a vegetarian option, Clara B’s offers a tomato watermelon salad with cornbread croutons. For a beverage option, watermelon strawberry lemonade is offered.
