# Crafty Mobile Restaurants The Urban Food Stall that Cooks Pig Heads to Perfection By Tracy Wallace | Published 2010-11-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafty-mobile-restaurants-the-urban-food-stall-that-cooks-pig-heads-to-perf References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2010/11/09/pig-truck-by-studio-swine/) & [studioswine.wordpress](http://studioswine.wordpress.com/) Studio Swine, a design idea incubator founded by Azusa Murakami and Alexander Groves, is a [mobile food/concept art cart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amity) which allows the culinary business person to [cook, serve and seat the hungry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gageenang). This particular cart was made to prepare pigs heads, but I’m quite sure you can cook whatever suits your fancy. Starting with an adult-sized tricycle frame, designers Azusa Murakami and Alexander Groves developed this piece to cook food using the ancient hot rock cooking method. The heat from the rocks ricochets off of the gathered metal roof which hangs above, cooking your meats with ease. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: South America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mobile Food/concept Art Carts:** The trend towards mobile food and concept art carts presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the food and art industries to merge in unique and creative ways. - **Hot Rock Cooking Method:** The revival of the ancient hot rock cooking method presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the restaurant industry to offer a new and unique dining experience. - **Sustainable and Upcycled Design:** The trend towards sustainable and upcycled design in mobile food and concept art carts presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the design industry to merge aesthetics and eco-friendliness. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Culinary/food Industry:** The use of mobile food and concept art carts presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the culinary/food industry to expand their business reach and offer new dining experiences. - **Restaurant Industry:** The revival of the ancient hot rock cooking method presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the restaurant industry to offer a new and unique dining experience. - **Design Industry:** The trend towards sustainable and upcycled design in mobile food and concept art carts presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the design industry to merge aesthetics and eco-friendliness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outdoor Carbon-Free Cooking Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transspecies-kitchen.md) - [Nose-To-Tail Italian Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manteca.md) - [Chef-Designed Outdoor Prep Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everdure-mobile-prep-kitchen.md) - [Studio-Transformed Artful Bistro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/form-us-with-love-2.md) - [Mountainous Repurposed Crate Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-installation.md) - [Mini Modular Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-griller.md) - [Electric Street Food Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartebike.md) - [Convertible Outdoor Cooking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-systems.md) - [Portable Suitcase-Style Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuanye-folding-barbecue.md)
