The roots of food trucks goes back over more than a century. Food trucks rose out of the need to feed workingmen on the road, primarily cattle herders in the early 1800’s. Today, a food truck, mobile kitchen, mobile canteen, or catering truck is a mobile venue that sells food. Food truck dining as a popular phenomenon is starting to catch on in many U.S. cities including: Portland, New Orleans, Austin, District of Columbia, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Saint Louis, Tampa.Today’s gourmet food trucks are full-fledged kitchens on wheels that provide patrons with innovative culinary experiences.
