Notes to answerer
Asker: The concept is slightly different compared to the street kitchen you linked to. The UK street kitchen is a mobile unit. The gatukök (Scankök) is non-mobile (in a small building/kiosk).

hot dog stand


Explanation:
Compare the entries in Wikipedia:

Gatukök är en form av korvkiosk eller restaurang som, vilket namnet antyder, ofta är belägen i anslutning till större trafikerad gata, och därför ses som lämpligt rastställe för fotgängare och folk i motorfordon
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatukök

A hot dog stand is a food business stand that sells hot dogs, usually from an external counter on a public thoroughfare such as a road, street, ballpark, mall or food court.
