Rollende Keukens - Rolling Kitchens

The delicious Rollende Keukens or Rolling Kitchens was in town again this long weekend for the 4th year in a row. Dozens of mobile kitchens head to the park at Westergasfabriek turning it into a delicious open air restaurant with live music and theatre, and the atmosphere is nothing like what you would expect in Amsterdam: big trucks, carnival rides for kids, horses, music and smoking BBQ's all give the feel of a small American county fair.  

Although our group missed Korean Taco Party the Korean Mexican fusion stall from last year there was plenty of deliciousness to enjoy, smoked pork, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and coleslaw burgers, spit pork, fresh seafood and shellfish, delicious sweet crepes and gourmet savory galettes were just some of what was on offer and perfectly accompanied by sangria, fresh homemade lemon and mint iced tea's, cocktails, ciders and wines.

Wow that looks like so much fun! I'd never heard of that before!

Oh, that sounds awesome! I'm bummed we got here a few days too late to indulge. I guess there's always next year...

I've been there a couple of days after it was open and was rather disappointed with the food quality...
The atmosphere though was nice.

@Life Abroad it's pretty obscure, I found out about it last year from another expat friend who's totally in the know :-)

@Ryan Woohoo fresh blood! Welcome to Amsterdam :)

@DutchOren I do remember the food being better last year mostly because of Korean Taco Party :) But there was still lots of delicious food, did you try the crepes?!
