5. Eugene’s Hot Chicken
Is there anything better than hot chicken and fries? I think not. Plus, there are a variety of heat levels from southern (no heat) to stupid hot, so you’ll find something you love. If you’re craving Eugene’s, you can follow their food truck or head to one of their storefronts in Uptown or Hoover.
6. Beignets and Lattes Food Truck
If you need a caffeine and sweet treat fix, check out Beignets and Lattes when it rolls to a stop near you. They serve lattes, Nitro coffee, freshly made beignets and everything else you need for a perfectly sweet day.
- Find them: Follow along on Facebook to see where they’ll be for the day.

7. Hyderabad Dum Zone
Hyderabad Dum Zone is an Indian food truck and one of my favorites with delish options like chicken tikka masala, samosas and waffle curry fries.
- Find them: They head to different locations every day, so your best bet at finding them is following along on Facebook.
8. Hotbox
Good People beer and eats from Hot Box make the perfect combination, and now that Hot Box has parked outside of Good People, it’s even easier to enjoy them both. Hot Box has even paired beer suggestions with their menu items so you can eat and drink like a champ.
- Find them: Hot Box is parked at Good People Brewing and open Wednesday-Friday 4-10PM, Saturday 12-10PM and Sunday 12-8PM.
