Rolling restaurants

“Ten years ago the emergence of food trucks in Hungary was deemed to be a passing fashion. We knew already back then that there is no better solution for serving food at festivals and outdoor events than food trucks”,

explains Zoltán Horváth, president of the Hungarian Street Food Association .

The association knows about roughly 150 active food trucks. Food trucks aren’t necessarily independent of traditional catering. Some food truck operators are building on the success of these “rolling restaurants” by opening a traditional eatery. The best example of this is Zing Burger, which started with one truck and is now the largest Hungarian branded burger chain with 14 units.
