Rolling in Flavor: The Food of Tomorrow
With the excitement and increased usage of AI, we wanted to join in on the fun and challenge ourselves to implement a design based on a ChatGPT prompt.
The prompt was as follows:
Futuristic Food Truck — Reimagining Culinary Mobility
Imagine a world where the culinary landscape has evolved to incorporate cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and diverse cultural influences. Your task is to design a futuristic food truck that embodies this visionary concept, pushing the boundaries of both culinary creativity and sustainable innovation.
So, without further ado, step into the future with us as James, Chris, and I reimagine what food trucks could serve.
When imagining what kind of cuisine would be sold out of a food truck in the future, I thought of a world closer to public space travel. A world where astronauts could be normal, everyday people. This idea made me think that there could be a rise in the popularity of astronaut food and a higher demand for it closer to Earth. From here, the Atomic Kitchen was born!
The Atomic Kitchen serves all of your zero-gravity favorites including: dehydrated chicken soup (just add water), freeze-dried spaghetti with vacuum sealed meatballs, and of course for dessert, astronaut ice cream. The design of the truck was inspired by the art of the twentieth century Space Race. Try walking past this truck as the retro, space-themed illustrations brightly pop off the vast blue paint job.

Introducing “Crawl & Crunch” — a pioneering culinary experience that redefines sustainable dining through innovation and imagination. This futuristic food truck takes sustainability to new heights by crafting delectable dishes from a surprising yet eco-friendly source: insects.
When thinking about the future and the world we may one day live in, I remembered reading articles on how certain chefs/restaurants started developing meals and recipes revolving around insects as the main source of protein. I can’t imagine myself ever getting to a point where I’ll start ordering and eating dishes like a “Grilled Grasshopper Taco”, but I do respect the idea of innovation and exploration on finding a way to embrace sustainability. To help offset the possibly “unappetizing” idea of consuming insects, I designed the branding and food truck to be extremely inviting, with lots of bright colors, playful insect illustrations, and fun organic textures.
Come experience the future of dining with “Crunch & Crawl”, where sustainability and extraordinary flavors collide in harmony.

Why did lemonade come to mind when initially thinking about a food truck? Call it curiosity! I found myself wondering how drinks we’re familiar with today could change in the future. So, Lemonade Odyssey was born. A lemonade food truck that is not just about quenching your thirst but redefining your perception of lemonade.
The menu starts with color-changing, nitrogen-infused, sub-zero lemonades that are out of this world! To capture the celestial essence of our offerings, the food truck’s design begins with a vibrant citrus planet logo. Building on this theme, you’ll find distinctive details like sparkling space icons that represent fizz and swirling rings of color. The harmonious blend of yellow and purple hues complements each other perfectly, while the playful yet bold fonts pay homage to the nostalgic charm of a classic lemonade stand.
Whether you’re seeking a familiar taste of the past or an audacious glimpse into what’s to come, “The Lemonade Odyssey” promises an experience like no other.
