    I think it is federal law that the federal currency must be accepted as valid payment for any debts. So you could argue if the restaurant has you pay after eating, that is a debt being payed. But if they have you pay first, like at a food truck, it could be valid to not accept cash payments.

      And, like every “law” in this era and beyond: good luck with enforcement, fellow “citizen”. 🤷🏼‍♂️
