Food Trucks: A Brief History
Enjoying popularity in the modern-day foodie scene, food trucks come from much humbler beginnings. Serving up simple but hearty food options such as beans, biscuits, cured meats, and coffee to roaming cowboys and pioneers in the mid-1800s, chuckwagon dinners were the predecessors of modern-day food trucks. Named after “chuck,” a slang term for food, covered wagons would roam the western plains fully equipped with food and cooking gear to feed hungry travelers. Around the same time, urban areas experienced the expansion of pushcarts, which served hungry factory workers a quick to-go meal mainly consisting of sandwiches, soup, and coffee.
Attracting lots of advertising attention, the first modern-day food truck sold on-the-go hot dogs. Toting hot dogs in a wiener-shaped truck, the Oscar Meyer Mobile was a 1930s icon. A few decades later, the music of the ice cream truck heralded the return of summer in the 1950s and remains one of the most popular forms of food trucks in modern times. Featuring a variety of mouthwatering options from all corners of the globe, modern-day food trucks are experiencing wide popularity nationwide.
