“A microbrewery or craft brewery is a brewery that produces
a limited amount of beer. Exact definitions vary, but the terms
are typically applied to breweries that are much smaller than
large-scale corporate breweries and are independently
owned. Such breweries are generally characterized by their
emphasis on flavor and brewing technique.”

“A food truck, mobile kitchen, mobile canteen, roach coach, or
catering truck is a mobile venue that transports and sells
food. Some, including ice cream trucks, sell frozen or
prepackaged food; others resemble restaurants on wheels.
Some may cater to specific meals, such as the breakfast
truck, lunch truck or lunch wagon, snack truck, kebab trailer
(UK), break truck or taco truck.”

BEGINNING OF THE FOOD TRUCK (WAGONS)
Charles Goodnight invented the Chuck Wagon in 1866. Goodnight and his
partner, Oliver Loving made a Trail Drive of 2,000 longhorns from the Fort
Belknap area in northern Texas, to Denver Colorado. 

Goodnight purchased a U.S. Government Wagon and had it completely rebuilt
according to his specifications. The distinguishing feature of the wagon was the
sloping box on the rear with hinged lid that lowered to become a cook’s table.
The box was fitted to the width of the Wagon and contained shelves and drawers
for holding food and utensils. “Chuck” was food to a cowboy. So the Wagon that
carried the food became the “Chuck Wagon“.
