Wist je dat de eerste ‘foodtruck’ al ruim 330 jaar oud is en dat dit fenomeen oorspronkelijk uit Amerika komt?

In 1961 ontstonden de zogenoemde ‘Push Carts’; simpele, houten wagentjes waar alleen eten verkocht werd, zoals pasteitjes en sandwiches. Vooral jonge postbezorgers en constructiewerkers kwamen tijdens hun werk hier iets te snacken halen. Puur omdat het een snelle en goedkope manier was.

De ‘Chuck Wagons’ maakten hun opkomst in 1866 in Texas. Chuck betekende eten en is ontstaan uit een studebaker wagon; een houten bak met vier grote wielen. Hier werden lades en kasten ingezet en een scharnierdeksel waarop gekookt kon worden. Veehouders maakten hier gebruik van omdat zij maandenlang met hun vee reisden op onbewoonde plekken. De primitieve foodtruck werd geboren!

Zes jaar later maakte de ‘lunchwagon’ zijn debuut. Walter Scott sneed een raam uit de wagen, zodat dit een doorgeefluik werd voor koffie, sandwiches en taartjes. Het duurde niet lang voor er nieuwe modellen op de markt kwamen voorzien van koelkasten, fornuizen en gootstenen. De vraag groeide en groeide..

De rest is geschiedenis....

Een grote diversiteit aan mobiele trucks zorgt met liefde weer voor de lekkerste gerechten vanuit de origineelste keukentjes op wielen. Op TREK heb je de keuze tussen ongeveer 35 verschillende foodtrucks. Maak een smakelijke ontdekkingsreis door het ruime aanbod streetfood. Neem plaats aan de Chef’s Table in één van de mobiele food trucks, proef verrassende ingrediënten of waag je aan de smaakvol bereide nieuwe gerechten. Van sushi tot Surinaams van vega(n) tot burgers; de smaakpapillen worden een weekend lang getrakteerd.

FESTIVAL TREK

Festival TREK is het grootste, rondreizende foodfestival van Nederland. Ruim 250.000 Bourgondiërs brengen ieder voorjaar en zomer een bezoek aan dit verrassende festival waarbij halverwege 2018 zelfs de miljoenste bezoeker feestelijk werd verwelkomd.

Van mei tot en met september tovert Festival TREK negen van de mooiste stadsparken van ons land om tot een groot Bourgondisch dorp met o.a. een eigen gemeentehuis, kerk en theater.

Aan het hoofd van dit ‘dorp’ staat de BurgeRmeester van TREK. Hij stelt gedurende dit weekend zijn Festival TREK ter beschikking als laagdrempelig podium voor zowel opkomend als gevestigd talent uit de stad en regio.

HET GROOTSTE RONDREIZENDE FOODFESTIVAL VAN NEDERLAND

Een diversiteit aan food uit alle windrichtingen, van mobiele cateraars, wordt aangevuld met op maat gemaakt theater, (klein) kunst, live muziek, oud Hollandse spelletjes, nostalgische kermisattracties voor jong en oud en diverse dj’s. Alles binnen een ongedwongen en ontspannen sfeer!

Festival TREK kun je bezoeken in de negen grote steden: Rotterdam, Utrecht, Maastricht, Nijmegen, Enschede, Eindhoven ’s-Hertogenbosch, Amsterdam en Den Haag.

The “Trek” food truck festival is a nomadic event that takes place from May to September. This gastronomic caravan travels through Rotterdam, Maastricht, Utrecht, Nijmegen, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Amsterdam, Tilburg, and Den Haag, bringing a delightful food experience to each location. Unlike the popular “Rollende Keukens” festival, “Trek” offered not only an array of nice dishes, but also provided a lot of seating areas and even games to keep visitors entertained.

We stared the day with some sushi from “I Love Sushi,” a well-known sushi shop with branches in several cities in the Netherlands. While the sushi was decent, it didn’t quite reach the level of being the best we’ve ever tasted.

A food truck that definetly won our hearts was the “Duck Truck,” known for its succulent duck burgers. We couldn’t resist ordering them twice because they were simply outstanding. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the tender duck meat was perfectly complemented by the accompanying toppings. If you have the chance, don’t miss out on trying their duck burgers.

For seafood lovers, “Sea Salt Saloon” was a must-visit. We indulged in Zeeuwse and French oysters that were bursting with freshness and briny flavors. As a fish restaurant in Utrecht, they certainly lived up to their reputation for serving exceptional seafood dishes. If you appreciate oysters, this is a spot you shouldn’t overlook.

However, not all our culinary adventures were without a hiccup. We decided to try the bavette from “Proeven is Geloven,” which was advertised as a wagyu A5 steak. Despite confirming twice with the vendor, the texture of the meat was far from what we expected from wagyu. Although the bavette itself was decent, it did not meet the high standards associated with true wagyu beef.

To accompany our delicious food, we sampled some red wines. Our evening began with a bottle of Elevado Tinto, a blend of Syrah and Malbec. It had a rich and fruity profile that complemented our meal perfectly. However, it was the bottle of Epicuro Negroamaro, hailing from Puglia, Italy, that stole the show. This wine had a depth of flavors and a smoothness that left a lasting impression on our palates.

In conclusion, the “Trek” food truck festival in Utrecht offered an unforgettable culinary experience. With a variety of food trucks serving mouthwatering dishes, the festival catered to diverse tastes. From sushi and duck burgers to oysters and bavette, there was something for everyone. Despite a minor disappointment with the wagyu claim, the overall atmosphere and selection of food made the event a worthwhile visit. If you find yourself in Utrecht during the festival’s season, be sure to treat yourself to an evening of indulgence and gastronomic delights.

New Food Truck Festival TREK in Eindhoven

This weekend the grounds at the Karpendonkse Plas will be turned into a large open-air restaurant. Visitors can buy various snacks during the Food Truck Festival TREK , at the so called ‘Foodtrucks’.
