You tell me that of course and has thought. And yes, I do not believe that I discovered the wheel.

In this column, every week of the month, we will talk about some gastronomic tendencies and restaurants mainly abroad, cookbooks, chefs, as well as some culinary destinations that have great interest.
One of the things that impressed me in New York, was the fact that almost all restaurant guides and a large number of categories, the first places held the food trucks, commonly canteens. And when I read and full restaurant guide, Zagat, the rave reviews for the quality of the food served there, did not stay by the start and I have my own marathon in the streets of New York looking for the tastiest canteen. diy kitchens Let's take things from the beginning.
The idea of a food truck in Western culture, chuck wagon then the 19o century was born in Texas in the United States when the 1866 Charles Goodnight converted a vehicle of the US Army in a mobile kitchen. The reason; Some hungry wandering shepherds. At that time, after the American Civil War, much of the population began to move to the West. This resulted in increased demand for beef, particularly in the region of Texas. Breeders had to take their flocks grazed in places where there were railway tracks, covering huge distances, sometimes for months. As you can see, the options in relation to food was extremely limited. It is this opportunity exploited and Mr. Charles and created the first stray kitchen.
The rest of the story is that with the passage of time, the canteen began to enter in major cities worldwide, and as a natural consequence, into the culture and mentality of the world, culminating in the beginning of 2000 century, where most canteens started offering gourmet dishes at really good prices. diy kitchens And when they came and social media in the game, the story began to escape. diy kitchens (It is worth mentioning that due to the large number of immigrants, large resorts began to turn into an enormous multicultural cuisine, which played a very important role in the culinary education of consumers).
Now the question (and answer) of one million. What makes a talented chef when not or can not find the budget to create his own restaurant? The answer will find the main Roy Choi *, the creator of the most famous Kogi BBQ Truck in California.
Wanting to give another dimension to street diy kitchens food and taking advantage of the social media, particularly the twitter, the chef Roy Choi began a canteen, the location of which change daily and communicated through twitter. That was the secret. The audience entered in a search process in the next location of the canteen, which he shared via twitter. Thus, in a relatively short time the tail of the canteen began to proliferate. Characteristic example, a queue of 600 people!
They took advantage of this trend and the creators of the site Toronto Food Trucks in Canada, which recorded a large number of canteens and have resulted in the application to identify them. This way, the consumer may at any time to see through the site where you'll find the canteen that interests him and a mini presentation (photos, type of food, etc.). An equally important service offered by the Toronto Food Trucks, is the "reservation Canteen" that one can do for festivals, weddings and similar events.
Let us draw our minds classical canteen that sells "dirty" outside the stadium. I personally think it is a great way for a new chef to create and express themselves without much money. diy kitchens Another advantage is the access it will have each of us a delicious and high quality food and diversity, at extremely good prices (the above four elements take for granted!).
You tell me that of course and has thought. And yes, I do not believe that I discovered the wheel. But I know very well that the demand changes and data. It is a shame that in a country like Greece, eight months with good weather, there is so much bureaucracy and difficulty in creating such an undertaking. It would be good idea to launch an initiative to facilitate the permitting diy kitchens (and instead of writing about the canteens of America, writing about canteens in Greece that we have a better view!).
