food truck

Curbside meal vendor

A food truck is a large vehicle equipped with a kitchen, selling prepared food from a service window.

Food trucks range from simple operations serving tacos or hot dogs to gourmet meals rivaling restaurants.

They typically park in high-traffic areas or gather at designated events: There's a whole row of food trucks outside the office building.

The food truck scene has become a fixture of urban dining culture.
