chuck wagons
Cattle drive cafeterias
Chuck wagons are mobile kitchens used to feed workers on cattle drives and ranches, originating in the American West.
The wagon carried food supplies, cooking equipment, and a fold-down work surface.
The term now also describes restaurants or food vendors serving Western-style fare: We stopped at a chuck wagon for brisket and beans.
