The COVID-19 pandemic put a spin on the way we eat out, with indoor venues having shut their doors. Business entrepreneurs spotted the opportunity to cut their rental costs significantly, attract new customers, and literally be at the market forefront by going mobile.

There is a comfort to be had in sticking to the predetermined pairings set by chefs and experts with far more cooking knowledge than most of us will ever gain. We even apply the same logic when matching our meals with the perfect drink. The rules of food needn’t be so rigid, though.
