truck]] A mobile kitchen, known colliqually in some regions as an '''"X" Truck''', is a mobile venue that sells Food . Some, including Ice Cream Truck s, sell mostly frozen or prepackaged food; others are more like restaurants-on-wheels. Food trucks make frequent appearances at Carnivals , Construction Sites , and other temporary venues where large numbers of people gather. Some college campuses and surrounding areas boast many food trucks with loyal followings; for example, visitors to the University Of Pennsylvania / Drexel University / La Salle University in Philadelphia or Harvard University or MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts may see some very popular trucks parked outside the main entrances to buildings at lunchtime. In the United Kingdom, these are known as burger vans and can be found on nearly all major trunk roads at the side of the road selling their food. A 1/4lb burger can be purchased for about £2 (approx. $3.5USD). Many people prefer to stop at one of these Burger vans when travelling due to the cheap price, rather than stop at a motorway Service Station where prices can be extremely high. Sometimes also called "maggot wagon," "roach coach," or "gut truck," these rolling restaurants can frequently be found at or near construction sites. An early version of the food truck was the US Army's mobile canteen {Link without Title} and before that the old West's Chuckwagon .
