Narrative:
Circuit breaker (C/B) to meal cart in aft galley popped. Flight deck was notified and I was told to reset the circuit breaker; but if it popped again to leave it alone. As soon as I reset the circuit breaker; a strong electrical odor started coming from the electrical cord; so I pulled the circuit breaker and notified the flight deck. They in turn placed the information into the logbook. I was told the next day; departing ZZZZ; that the power cord to the [meal] cart was replaced. Faulty equipment.
