chuck wagon
Cowboy's mobile kitchen
A chuck wagon is a horse-drawn wagon equipped with a kitchen and food supplies, used to feed workers on cattle drives and ranches in the American West.
The chuck box at the rear folded down into a work surface for the cook.
The cowboys gathered around the chuck wagon at sundown.
The term now applies to any mobile kitchen serving food outdoors, especially at rodeos and Western-themed events.
