New food truck opens in St. Joseph

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- A new food truck had its grand opening on Saturday, April 12, bringing some "nostalgia" back to the Southside.

KolbDon's, located at 4909 King Hill Ave., specializes in chili dogs, burgers, ice cream and more.

Co-owner Kolby Peters shared why he wanted to bring this food truck to the Southside.

"Bringing back a little sense of nostalgia of things that you used to be able to get around in this area that you really can't anymore," Peters said. "It's nice to bring something back to the same area where we all used to go to lunch growing up."

The food truck uses the famous Sack-N-Sav chili dog recipe. Original Sack-N-Sav owner L.B. Newey attended KolbDon's grand opening, and he said he is impressed with the new business.

"He's supposed to be making them the same way we made them, and I've eaten one or two of them in this last year and they were good," Newey said. "So I got to give them credit for that."

Six-year-old Peighton Benny attended the grand opening with her parents and she shared why she decided to go.

"To buy some food and get ice cream," Benny said.

KolbDon's has not solidified its operating hours yet.
