About The Fried Kitchen

A savory potato waffle sandwich with a piece of fried chicken on top, that’s what people line up for. I run a small Bronx truck in the 10459 area serving chicken sandwiches, stacked sandwiches, and boxed lunches for events. Our menu leans on a country fried chicken club, a spicy chicken sandwich, and a few potato waffle sandwiches we sell at markets and night events. I cook to order when I can, and we pack boxed lunches for meetings and on-site service at parties. We turn out steady plates at neighborhood markets and larger night markets around the borough. The setup is straightforward and the portions are honest. Service is casual but organized, we can hand out individual boxed meals or feed a crowd on site. If you need chicken sandwiches or boxed lunches for a midday group, that’s a thing we do.

Owner, The Fried Kitchen

A father and son duo from the Bronx, New York, decided to turn their passion for cooking and food into a business. They opened a pop-up tent, serving their famous chicken and waffle gourmet sandwiches, which quickly gained popularity and led to the expansion of their operation into a full-fledged food trailer. The menu at the trailer showcased their creative flair and love for bold flavors, with a focus on quality ingredients and made-to-order dishes. The father and son team, with their combined years of experience in the food industry, dedicated themselves to providing their customers with a truly unique and unforgettable dining experience, and their food trailer quickly became a staple in the Bronx's thriving food scene A father and son duo from the Bronx, New York, decided to turn their passion for cooking and food into a business.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in New York, so booking early gives you the best selection.

What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from The Fried Kitchen includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, and setup and breakdown. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is; the truck will let you know if one applies. Per-serving pricing includes Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book The Fried Kitchen?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in New York book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does The Fried Kitchen cater?
The Fried Kitchen is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around New York are all bookable from this page.

The Fried Kitchen hasn't listed specific dietary menus, but most trucks can adapt a few items. Describe what you need, including allergies, in your booking request and the truck will confirm what it can safely prepare.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need.
