Chef \u00c9ric Girardin<\/strong>, a talented self-taught professional trained in the world of gastronomy, was awarded his first Michelin star<\/strong> in 2008 while working at La Casserole restaurant in Strasbourg. In 2017, less than a year after opening his new restaurant in Colmar, he was honored once again by the Michelin Guide, which reaffirmed the star-worthy quality of his cuisine.<\/p>\n At Restaurant Girardin, guests dine in a minimalist and elegant setting, enjoying dishes with refined yet authentic flavors, plated with extraordinary care and prepared using Alsatian ingredients<\/strong>, with a special emphasis on vegetables. As \u00c9ric Girardin explains: Genuine local ingredients<\/strong>, ideally sourced within a very short supply chain, are therefore central to his philosophy. He continues: Sustainability, attention to detail and the pursuit of quality: guided by these principles\u2014and with a Michelin star to his name\u2014\u00c9ric Girardin approached VS Veicoli Speciali<\/strong> in 2023.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Girardin\u2019s idea was to elevate the hamburger \u2014 a staple of popular European cuisine \u2014 to the status of a gourmet dish. Strictly speaking, the idea itself was not entirely new, but it took on a fresh originality when reimagined for street food by a great chef.<\/p>\n This is how the Ma Fabrique du Burger<\/strong> project took shape, developed together with his business partner Alexis Schotter. The plan involved purchasing three burger trucks<\/a> to be stationed in Colmar and in other towns across the region, including Wintzenheim, Rouffach, Mittelwihr, S\u00e9lestat, Horbourg-Wihr and Ribeauvill\u00e9.<\/p>\n To sell gourmet burgers<\/strong> created by a Michelin-starred chef<\/a> on the street, ordinary food trucks simply would not do. Just as with his restaurant in Colmar, Girardin wanted work vehicles worthy of his reputation.<\/p>\n For this reason, he turned to a manufacturer capable of creating food trucks<\/a> that were efficient, elegant and meticulously finished in every detail\u2014just like his dishes.<\/p>\n VS Veicoli Speciali perfectly understood Girardin\u2019s requirements and translated them into three high-end burger trucks<\/strong>, equipped with professional kitchens and an optimized design.<\/p>\n From Monday to Friday, at both lunch and dinner service, the three burger trucks<\/a> operate from their respective locations, using self-contained electric battery systems to prepare six different burgers born from the chef\u2019s creativity.<\/p>\n As Girardin further states: \u201cWhether in a Michelin-starred restaurant or in a food truck, the approach is the same: you are cooking. What matters is that the product is properly cooked and properly seasoned.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"michelin](\"https:\/\/www.vsveicolispeciali.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ristorante-stellato-girardin-la-maison-des-tetes.jpeg\")

\n\u201cI choose my ingredients according to their freshness, their local origin and their seasonality. I prefer working with local producers, especially when it comes to vegetables.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe have focused on local sourcing, sustainable development and seasonal produce. We also have a small garden of herbs and flowers.\u201d<\/p>\nMa Fabrique du Burger is born, with its three high-end food trucks<\/h2>\n
