The Rise of Mobile Event Catering
As local Bay Area caterers, we’ve seen an explosion of growth in the street food movement. Although food carts have existed in some form for hundreds of years, they have only recently taken off in popularity. Going back to the late 17th century, when vendors sold freshly prepared foods out of pushcarts to workers, the trend eventually went west with the proliferation of the Chuck wagon.
The modern food cart movement seems to have begun with the “Roach Coaches” of the 1960s, a popular destination for hungry construction workers. The trend has evolved over the years; countless street establishments now serve everything from barbecue to Asian fusion cuisines.
The appeal of mobile meals is easy to understand. These unique operations present a convenient and delicious option for busy workers and shoppers on the go, and the eccentric creations they sell are often unavailable anywhere else.
Another aspect of the street food movement customers appreciate is their common commitment to sourcing locally grown meats, produce, and other ingredients. People want to support businesses that demonstrate a commitment to supporting the local economy and good and safe agricultural practices.
