The very first food trucks date back to covered wagons selling perishable food to cowboys and loggers as a chuckwagon in the American wilderness. (Prestige Food Trucks)

Nowadays, Austin has become a huge food truck town with many food truck parks around the city. You can find just about any cuisine within four walls and riding four wheels.
