In the United States, the presence of food trucks at large-scale events or festivals has become a unique cultural phenomenon and tradition. These food trucks are more than just tools for providing food; they represent the diversity and flexibility of American culinary culture. They typically offer a wide variety of foods with diverse styles, ranging from classic American hamburgers, hot dogs, and French fries to Mexican, Thai, and Italian dishes representing different countries and regions. You can find them all in food trucks. The appearance of food trucks facilitates dining at events, enriches the event's content, and adds to the lively atmosphere. Food truck culture also reflects the diversity and inclusiveness of American society, where people from various cultural backgrounds can find their favorite foods. Americans' love for food trucks is also reflected in the fact that many events plan in advance to set up food truck areas to facilitate diners' choices. Choosing which food truck to go to and what kind of food to try has become a great pleasure at events. Food trucks are not simply mobile canteens; many food trucks have their own brand stories and loyal customers, and some have even developed into restaurant chains. In this sense, food truck culture in the United States has become more than just a simple dietary habit; it has become an important part of American culture.
