A food truck is a large vehicle equipped to cook and sell food. Some, including ice cream trucks, sell frozen or prepackaged food; others have on-board kitchens and prepare food from scratch. Sandwiches, hamburgers, French fries, and other regional fast food fare is common. In recent years, food trucks offering gourmet cuisine and a variety of specialties and ethnic menus, have become particularly popular.
