Despite some temporary shutdowns by the health department, Henderson upped the ante and redefined what “street food” can mean when he opened Skillet in an Airstream trailer in 2007. The Seattle native went the mobile-meals route because he “never wanted to be thought of as corporate.” This year’s explosion of street food vendors—Marination, Gert’s, Maximus-Minimus, Parfait—owe a debt to Henderson, whose next project shows he’s still ahead of the game: He’s hoping to add a traveling-bar trailer to his lineup, so that he can deliver perfectly mixed cocktails to Skillet’s private catered events.
