As a small crowd of 20-somethings hangs out at Groucho’s, a little bar on Goss Avenue, a brightly painted van pulls up.
“Is anyone hungry?” calls Stanley Chase from an old step van that has been converted into “Morels,” one of several new food trucks serving up gourmet street food across Louisville.
