Based on the above “menu”- it should be quite apparent that- if donuts/and or fried chicken aren’t your game- Federal Donuts which has been around for something like 2-months isn’t gonna work for you! By the way, in addition to the Miami joint, Federal Donuts has 5 locations in Philadelphia!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did a recent Federal Donuts’ donut-fried chicken outing and the joint blew us away. Like I said earlier, off the chart delicious donuts and fried chicken! For you Publix fried chicken fans out there- who may-be wondering, no contest whatsoever, with Publix on the short-end of the stick,

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats really enjoyed Federal Donuts. The truth be told, both of us are suckers for good donuts and good fried chicken (in no particular order)- so Federal Donuts was a no brainer as far as we were concerned!

You can check Federal Donuts out at federaldonuts.com.

Federal Donuts is open Sunday-Wednesday 7am-7pm, Thursday-Saturday 7am-10pm.

40 Gourmet Food Trucks from all over the State compete in 6 categories. The competition includes the Corny Award, People’s Choice Award, Top Sales, Ticket Taker, Delectable Dessert and Casual Cuisine. There are always new trucks debuting and previous round participants seeking revenge. Foodies have a chance to vote on cuisines from Latin America, British, Caribbean, Gourmet Desserts and everything in between.

Celebrity Chef Judges, spear headed by Chef Jim Whaples, President Emeritus of the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association will be on hand to judge Casual Cuisine and Delectable Dessert, while the people will judge the prestigious People’s Choice Award.

Local non-profit organizations work alongside the shows promoters to raise money in support of local charities.

The event includes Celebrity Judges, battle of the bellys, live music, kids area and more.
Food costs generally run from $3 to $18. Most entrees run $6 to $8.

The phenomenon of Gourmet Food Truck rivalry (all in the name of good fun, of course) has been a Huge Hit. At the inaugural event in March 2012 an estimated 30,000 people turned up.

In addition to bringing communities together through this amazing battle of food trucks, food truck owners and foodies have donated over $13,000 to various communities, which have hosted the events.

“Food Truck Wars has been an amazing experience” said Liz Rivera Otts, President of Food Truck Crazy, Inc “and it can only get bigger and better”.
