Abstract

In this paper we applied the theory of practice (RECKWITZ, 2002; WARDE, 2005), in particular the notion of entity coordinated by connections between actions and discourses (understandings, procedures and engagements), in the study of the practice of eating out in food trucks. The empirical research results carried out in Curitiba / PR indicate that the foods commercialized by these vehicles are classified as meals and tend to replace lunch. In addition, the rules mobilized by consumers to choose their dishes take into account foods already known to the individual, the visual character and hygiene of the food truck and also the ingredients employed in the food’s preparation. The feelings and goals involved in the practice can be classified into: informality and fun, freedom from domestic activities and relaxation provided by outdoor space.
