From Italian sandwiches in New York, to tacos in Los Angeles, and barbecue in Austin – it seems food truck popularity is at an all-time high. What was once difficult to track down or reserved for the rare late-night bite, food trucks, and street food in general, are having a renaissance with more accessibility and variety than ever. Michelin-starred chefs are even getting in on the action, offering elevated eats like foie gras and truffle burgers. But what many don’t know is that the food truck itself has roots dating back to the pioneer days.
