Star cuisine on the road

Foodtruck by Maximilian Lorenz with customised equipment from PALUX

A large kitchen in a small space: PALUX AG individually equipped the new food truck of Cologne star chef Maximilian Lorenz - from the needs analysis to the conception and production to the assembly of the perfectly adapted kitchen on wheels.

Whether it's a well-balanced lunch from the street food truck or a varied catering for an evening event, the new Foodtruck by Maximilian Lorenz serves fresh food straight from the star kitchen. Not only are the dishes of high quality, from international bowls to German doner kebab, the kitchen technology also meets the highest standards. "PALUX has accompanied me in my gastronomic concepts for over four years. That's why it was clear that if we were to design a food truck at an absolute high-experience level for the first time, we would do it together with PALUX," says Maximilian Lorenz.

Challenge: customised food truck kitchen

As with his other projects, such as his gourmet restaurant maximilian lorenz or the wine bar heinzhermann in the centre of Cologne, PALUX took over the entire planning and handling of the star kitchen on the road: from the individual needs analysis to the conception to the production and installation of the equipment. "The limited space in the food truck was a real challenge. The customised end product makes full use of the space and we have completely accommodated the desired concept in the smallest possible space," says Nina Schindler from PALUX.

Basic BistroLine gas appliances

The heart of the food truck kitchen is the BistroLine thermal line, which combines maximum performance with minimum space: The power of the two built-in BistroLine 2-burner gas cookers is manually and continuously adjustable. Optimum grilling results are ensured by the BistroLine gas grill with its grill grate made of special cast iron, which is particularly easy to clean.

The basis of the mobile star kitchen is the PALUX Ecoline standard furniture range with its numerous equipment variants for cabinets, worktops, thermal bridges and cooling elements. In terms of flexibility, adaptability, functionality, ergonomics and hygiene, Maximilian Lorenz has no wishes left unfulfilled. He would no longer want to do without the Touch 'n' Steam combi steamer in gas version. Installed in the Basic 611 QL version, the energy-saving appliance achieves the best cooking results and manages the required quantities even with a high number of visitors.

Cooking at star level "somewhere in the middle of nowhere“

It is important for the renowned chef to be able to cook at star level "somewhere in the middle of nowhere". To ensure that his food truck can be used anywhere and at any time, Maximilian Lorenz relies on proven gas, with which the PALUX units are cooked self-sufficiently. For this purpose, a gas tank is installed on the underbody of the vehicle. All other components are supplied with electricity via a generator.
