food-truck

Roving lunch vendor

A food truck is a large vehicle equipped with a kitchen for preparing and selling food, typically parked at roadsides, events, or designated gathering spots.

Food trucks range from simple taco or hot dog vendors to gourmet operations with rotating menus: There's a great Thai food truck near my office.

The food-truck scene has grown into a distinct culinary culture in many cities.
