Le Camion Qui Fume

The pioneering Camion Qui Fume was the first food truck on the streets of Paris to sell quality burgers. The company is run by Kristin Frederick, an American chef who studied at L’École Supérieure de Cuisine Française Ferrandi in Paris. With her team of cooks she serves six varieties of home-made burger and a ‘burger of the day’. The fries are also homemade. The burgers have won the Palme de la Restauration and the Fooding d’honneur awards.
