About Tummy Tickler

Crispy fried chicken and loaded burgers draw the line at our window. I run a small Scottsdale truck serving fried chicken, burgers, and a few seafood options. We keep the menu straightforward so orders move fast at events and on-site service calls. Folks tell me they come back for the chicken sandwich and the burger, and I hear that at festivals and private events. We show up ready to serve, set up a serving line, and handle food service on-site for gatherings. I’m a woman-owned operation and I run service myself with a tight crew when needed. The truck is casual, the portions are honest, and we don’t try to be fancier than the setup allows. If you want a no-frills feed of burgers, fried chicken, or a seafood plate at an event, that’s what we do.

Thank you to Tummy Tickler Food Truck for visiting our community. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, and residents enjoyed the opportunity to support a local food truck. While the wait times could have been shorter, the staff was pleasant and worked hard to serve everyone. Overall, it was a good experience.

Lindia Derousse

Owner, Tummy Tickler

I started tinkering with fried chicken recipes in my home kitchen and sold my first batch under Arizona cottage food rules, that paperwork still has my name on it. Running a small soap shop taught me bookkeeping, packaging, and how to keep customers coming back, skills I brought to the truck. I formed The Tummy Tickler LLC in February 2024 and handle day to day operations out of Scottsdale, Arizona, so you’ll usually find me prepping early, fixing something on the trailer, or taking event calls. I take care of licensing, permits, and the practical stuff that lets the truck show up on time. Running this business is about being dependable, paying attention to details, and getting the job done for every event.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

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 Phoenix, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Venue & Setup Requirements

Usually self-contained
Most trucks bring their own power and water. Confirm any hookups with Tummy Tickler when you book.
Space needed

A flat, accessible parking spot—typically 12' × 25' for most trucks

How far in advance should I book Tummy Tickler?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Tummy Tickler typically answers a request within 21 minutes, so you'll know quickly whether the date is open. Food trucks in Phoenix 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 Tummy Tickler cater?

Where does Tummy Tickler serve?
Tummy Tickler is based in Phoenix, AZ and takes bookings across Maricopa and Pinal Counties. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies. For a venue outside this area, the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Tummy Tickler 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. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Tummy Tickler will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
