With the food truck movement's popularity continuing to accelerate in the United States, it's not surprising to see hotel companies jumping on the bandwagon. The most prominent example comes from Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Toronto, which debuted the FS Taste Truck last September. The truck covered more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) and visited eight Four Seasons properties across the U.S. West, which each took it over for one week. Menu items averaged USS7.25, with the most popular dishes including duck fat burgers in San Francisco, kalbi short rib quesadillas in Los Angeles and pork belly tacos in Santa Fe, New Mexico. More than 7,000 diners stopped at the truck, and a portion of the total proceeds were donated to Chefs to End Hunger, a charity that works with foodservice operations to redistribute excess prepared food to those in need.
