For some people, there can never be over-gentrification, and for others, any amount of gentrification is too much.

I am not a huge fan. It's like a food truck gathering, but the stalls have less equipment/functionality than actual trucks and rent is crazy. This shows in the product. People there either keep it very simple and food is okay or they try too much for the space and the food is below average. It is very nice in there and there are some good drinks, but if you are looking to be wowed by food, try elsewhere.

I think Al Copeland said it best during his feud with Ann Rice over the appearance of his Straya restaurant on St. Charles when he said, "I realize it (Straya) doesn't make a suitable backdrop for one of your vampire novels, Ann."
Some extreme preservationists want everything looking dilapidated and/or haunted. Personally I don't think a little sand blasting and fresh paint hurt the St. Roch Market, especially given the neighborhood it's in.

What type of equipment do food trucks have that the market doesn't?

I am wondering this as well.
St Roch has garnered a lot of hate from people who are mad it even exists. Unfortunately, the vendors are suffering from a bad image because of this.

I had some extremely fresh oysters from there a few weekends ago. It was my first time going and I would go again. Worth checking out at least once I'd say.

Equipment in there is very limited. Most places prep and cook everything offsite and then assemble and heat at the stalls. They don't have use of gas burner. They pretty much are restricted to toaster ovens, panini presses, and induction tops.

You never wondered why they serve a "cold fried" sandwich?
Posted on 2/4/16 at 2:28 pm to NOFOX
I am more interested why they are always bringing out food from the back.
Almost like they have a kitchen in the back.
The wings from koreole should be a lot faster if they aren't frying them

It was one of those electric hotplate things like this
Just had a hot skillet of grease/oil on it and dropped in a battered crabcake, had a specific time for each side (no more than 2 minutes it seemed), and served it over the potato hash that was pre prepped and toasted up.

There is a small prep kitchen in the back, but my understanding is that it is pretty small for the number of vendors and that the equipment and storage is very limited such that vendors don't really rely on it too much.
