Tarpon Springs food truck owners sue city over partial ban Helen Freund, Tampa Bay Times CLEARWATER Elijah and Ashley Durham were already having a tough year. Elijah Durham had recently lost his job as a chef when the Tarpon Springs couple decided to open their own food truck. But within weeks of launching their new business outside a local brewery, they ran into problems with the city, which had recently passed restrictions on where food trucks could operate. They were told they would have to pack up and go somewhere else. Now, the couple is suing the City of Tarpon Springs over what they say is an unconstitutional ordinance allowing restaurants, but not independent food truck owners, to operate mobile food operations in some of the city’s busy downtown areas.
