Guerrilla Street Food
Guerrilla Street Food continues its impressive expansion. In 2018, Joel Crespo and Brian Hardesty’s Filipino concept opened a sleek new location on the eastern half of the Delmar Loop. My visit found the same quality of playful cooking in the citrus-forward Sour Fried Chicken with pickled corn, a seasonal dish. Already this year, Crespo and Hardesty have added a Guerrilla Street Food stand at Two Plumbers Brewery + Arcade in St. Charles, and they plan to open a brick-and-mortar location in Maryland Heights and roll out a new version of the food truck that started it all in 2011. Inspired cooking with the cost and convenience of a fast-casual restaurant? I’d be surprised if Guerrilla’s growth slowed any time soon.
