Created in 2017, National Eat at a Food Truck Day celebrates the thousands of entrepreneurs that feed America with food trucks featuring gourmet, street food, and ethnic cuisine.
The first food trucks in America were carts and date back to New York City (New Amsterdam) in 1691. Over the years, they developed along with technology and social trends. Chuck Wagons became commonplace to feed mobile workforces like cattlemen in the 1860s. Entrepreneurs outfitted covered wagons with everything you'd find in a diner, making diners portable in the 1870s. During WWI, the US Army used them to feed troops in the field. Oscar Mayer's Weiner Mobile is the most iconic food wagon, which debuted in 1936.
The first food truck most people encounter is the ice cream truck. These first appeared in the 1950s. Taco trucks emerged in 1974 in Los Angeles as an extension of a bar's kitchen. The 1980s saw the creation of hamburger and sandwich trucks, which gained popularity on college campuses. By the 2000s, food trucks went multi-cultural.
Today you can find just about any style of food on food trucks, with Asian, Middle Eastern, and Juice Bars becoming some of the most sought-after.
Celebrate National Eat at a Food Truck Day easily. Dine out at your favorite food truck!
