A Charming Graft Of Western Culture

From Forbes:

Who says food trucks have to be on land? For those yachters, jet skiers and other aquatic adventurers with sudden hunger pangs, here’s a sustainable floating kitchen to satisfy your needs.

Named Aqua Pod, this sustainable floating drive-through with a capacity of up to six staff will serve The Dubai Palm Lagoon, Al Sufouh and Kite Beach of Dubai’s Jumeirah region starting on February 2.

he special project is created and developed under the helm of award-winning architect Ahmed Youssef—Founder of Aquatic Architects Design Studio (AADS) in Dubai—who spent a little bit under a year with his team working on everything from concept development, design development alongside expert marine consultants, and commercial licensing to about four months of construction.

Lloyd Alter on Treehugger is delighted to discover this food truck picks up after its customers – and he likes the design:

If only every food truck picked up after their customers. We have been going on for years about dubious designs in what we called Dubious Dubai, but this isn’t dubious at all, and I hope a version of it comes to Algonquin Park soon.

It makes me smile.
