Aloha Food Truck Friday!
Food trucks vary in the type of foods
they prepare and sell, from ice cream to frozen or prepackaged
food, to meals prepared from scratch. A precursor of the food
truck can be seen as being the chuckwagon, which was a retrofitted
wagon stocked with kitchen and food supplies that gave cowhands
sustenance when they were on the trail in the late 1800's. In
1872, Walter Scott, a food vendor, came up with the lunch wagon—he
cut windows in a small covered wagon and sold sandwiches, pies,
and coffee to workers outside of a newspaper office in Providence,
Rhode Island. In the 1880's Thomas H. Buckley was manufacturing
different models of these and included in them appliances such as
sinks, refrigerators, and stoves.
