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.

Lindia Derousse - owner of Tummy Tickler

Meet The Owner, Lindia Derousse

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our team.

How far in advance should I book the food truck?
We recommend booking Tummy Tickler at least 2-4 weeks before your event date. Food trucks in Phoenix book quickly during peak seasons (Spring and Fall), so earlier is always better. For large corporate events with 100+ guests, 30 days advance notice ensures menu availability and proper staffing.
What types of events do you cater?
Tummy Tickler caters corporate lunches, office parties, employee appreciation events, team building gatherings, company picnics, community festivals, university events, government functions, holiday parties, and private celebrations throughout Phoenix and surrounding areas.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?
Yes, Tummy Tickler has a minimum order of $1,250.00. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Phoenix location, and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider our attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your catering quote from Tummy Tickler includes fresh food preparation, all serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), professional staff, setup and breakdown, and travel within the Phoenix service area. Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees—you'll see the complete cost including taxes before confirming your booking.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
No utilities required. Tummy Tickler is completely self-sufficient with onboard generators, water tanks, and cooking equipment. Simply provide a flat, accessible parking spot (approximately 12x30 feet) and we handle everything else. This makes food truck catering ideal for outdoor venues, parking lots, parks, and locations without kitchen facilities.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
We always try our best to work with you (and the truck) the best we can. Rescheduling is the best option when weather hits but our cancellation policy is outlined above.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options?
We always try to cater to the customer's needs. Please reach out with specific dietary requests and we'll do our best to accommodate them.
Are there allergy-conscious meals available?
Yes, we accommodate allergy needs whenever possible. Please reach out with specific requirements and we'll work with you to ensure safe meal options for all guests.
