Food Drunk Food Truck

At 3 pm I got the «you’re my boy blue» burger. bacon, blue cheese, creole mustard on a delicious buttered brioche bun.
At 730pm I got diarrhea.

We never miss a chance to eat at Food Drunk when in NOLA. Fries and burgers are amazing. We love the King Cake and Black & Gold burgers. Never a bad experience.

Omg! Best Cajun Mac and cheese ever! Truck was parked outside of Tipitinas after a show. He gave us a huge sample of their mac and I was blown away. A must!

Got the Drunk Pork scone, and it was pretty good! Really good seasoning, although a little too much sauce, in my opinion. A cool surprise at the bottom of the cone would be pretty cool too. But that may be veering off too much. Can’t wait to try the king cake burger! Will definitely try this food truck again!

After a night of riding in Chewbacchus hungry and having one too many I needed something that will fulfill my hunger needs. What could have been better than the King Cake Burger the best drunk food you will ever eat. A great burger, cheese and and a layer of sugar on top the bun is just what the doctor ordered for that hangover. It was surprising how the flavors worked so well with each other. I will soon have to try the peanut butter burger now since I have gone this far.

I would of gave this place 5 stars but because there schedule is soo unpredictable I gave it 4 I understand they may not know the location of where they are going to be but they can sure enough have a schedule where they have the days and the times and the location tba because it’s so hard to plan ahead to find them, like yesterday they said they were going to be on st Claude from 3– ok so they usually stay out for lunch on the norm 4 hrs so I went look for them around 5idh and got to the spot about 6 and couldn’t find them I checked there fb where they post there location and time to see if maybe they would of put when they wrapped up and left so ppl like me didn’t go 45 mins out my way but they didn’t. So that’s my complaint but on the other hand there food is really good, the king cake burger is something you have to try ! The duck fat fries omg !! Omg soooo good ! I want to try next the poblano burger and the Mac n cheese so that’s why I’m hunting them down! But these ppl are a deff try

Had the king cake burger and fries (fried in duck lard). The bun was AMAZING. No joke some of the best bread and King cake I’ve ever had. He’s struck gold with that. But my burger was all raw in the inside. I seriously am getting nauseated thinking about that bite. Personally, I believe ground meat should NEVER be undercooked in anyway! I didn’t care for the fries one bit.

Seared tuna was perfectly cooked, or uncooked :) Chili sauce was spicy but sweet, great combo. Didn’t seem like much food but filled me up. Not bad for walking 10 steps from my building.

For food truck food this place is hit or miss. They end up outside Ms. Mae’s a lot. Have had the pig sandwich, the bacon barbecue burger and the crawfish mac and cheese. Some is more delicious than others but a good options for the late night crowd.

It seems like my experience was a bit out of the ordinary, but I wasn’t that impressed with the Food Drunk Truck.
After reading all of the rave reviews, I bookmarked Food Drunk a while back. One day I was looking for something different for lunch so I consulted my food truck app, found where they were and headed to the corner of Loyola and Poydras. I lucked out and got a close parking spot on the corner that may or may not have been legal, but I was close enough to watch for the meter maids.
I probably should have gone with a burger. Instead I saw the special of the day was a steak sandwich so I ordered that and a side of duck fat fries. The guy taking the order assured me that the spicy ketchup i requested was in the container so I took my food and headed back to my office.
The first issue I encountered was that the sandwich was not wrapped very well. This lead to me getting black stuff from the grill on my shirt when I tried unlocking my door. I probably should have been more careful, but the sandwich was hanging out of the container. The second issue was the food itself. The sandwich was dry and tough and had a burnt taste. It seemed like it was left on the griddle far too long. Next up were the fries which were another disappointment. There was no spicy ketchup as promised. All that was in the container was some sort of citrus sauce. The fries were pretty dry and in need of sauce so, despite my dislike of citrusy sauces, I used what I had. The sauce did improve the fried greatly, but there wasn’t enough of it. Part of the problem was that the sauce container wasn’t sealed leading to much of the sauce draining to the bottom of the container.
Reading all of the other Unilocal reviews makes me think that I visited this truck on a really off day. I hope to give it a try again and will update my review accordingly.

The food is good. Had the drunk pig sandwich and the duck fat fries. Really good. This should really be their responsibility, but if it’s crowded and/​or loud, make sure you confirm your order number before you take your food. They can’t hand it to someone else once you’ve touched it and, understandably, they don’t like throwing food in the garbage.

I work at a local music venue and sometimes food drunk sets up outside. Every time they do my co-​workers lose their shit because of the duck fat fries. They are thick wedges of potato deep fried in duck fat and seasoned with corse salt and rosemary (so amazing). They are so good, more often than not I burn my mouth trying to eat them right away. The sauces they serve with it vary from time to time from a homemade dill to just plain ketchup.
They have a base for their menu items, like macaroni and cheese, burgers, pulled pork but they’ll put some very thoughtful and delicious homemade toppings on them, like crawfish and crab Mac and cheese or makers mark BBQ sauce on their burgers.
If you ever see food drunk pull up try it once and you’ll chase it down the street every time you see it!

Finally got a chance to catch up with the Food Drunk Food Truck yesterday. After hearing so much about the King Cake burger through their FB page I figured I’d give it a try. It was exactly as advertised, not really sure if I liked it though. It was a little too messy to eat, and not sure if I liked the frosting on top. The Fat Duck Fries on the other hand were unbelievable! Perfectly cooked, crunchy and not over cooked. Add in the spicy ketchup and it took it to a whole new level. I’ll definitely be going back soon!

We heard a lot about this King Cake Burger and against my better judgment, we went on an adventure to find them last Sunday. First of all, if you’re unsure of where the truck is, be sure to check their Facebook page (just search Food Drunk Food Truck on Google and it’s the first hit) and they update daily with where you can find them.
Alright, so back to the burger. Despite there being a parade going on, there was no line at the truck, so it was easy in and out. $ 10 for a King Cake Burger, which I’ll admit looked fantastic– gooey cheese, piping hot, etc.
So, here’s my criticism: man, a King Cake Burger tastes a lot like a King Cake Burger. I don’t know what I was expecting, but yup, that’s king cake and a burger.
Don’t get me wrong, the meat was fantastic, there was tons of delicious cheese, and completely separate from the burger, I guess the king cake wasn’t bad. Together though? Man, I don’t need sprinkles on my burger, ok?
I don’t really know what could make this better for me. Maybe if they did some sort of sauce on the burger that married the two flavors, but as is, the whole thing is kind of jarring. Or maybe I’m just a boring eater. Who knows.

It just so happens that Food Drunk Food Truck parks less than 600 feet from my office every day for lunch. However, every time I pass there, there is always a line; and even though it moves quickly, I am usually in an extreme hurry to get lunch, as I only have 30 minutes. However, this past week, the line has been 40 – 60 people deep and the local news cameras have been out there filming them. I stopped by on Friday to see what the hype was all about and that’s when I saw they had a «King Cake Burger» on their menu.
Fast forward to today and I found myself on site at 11:15 before the crowds arrived so that I could try this intriguing burger. The employees inside are super friendly and the truck appears to be very clean. I ordered this famous burger and it was ready in less than 3 minutes. While I was waiting, the server advised me that the burger was awesome as a bacon burger, but since I had already paid, he said he’d throw the bacon on for free. (How I love me some lagniappe).
The King Cake burger’s bun is actually frosted and covered with purple, green and gold granulated sugar to resemble a king cake. But it’s not an actual king cake that has a cinnamon infused dough, as IMO, this would be too sweet. The beef patty was probably ¹⁄₃ pound, was grilled perfectly and had that smoky grilled taste that I was craving. The cheese was definitely a real cheddar cheese and not some pasteurized «cheese food product». The bacon, which I am guessing was a thick cut apple wood smoked variety; possibly nueske bacon, put this burger over the top. It’s smoky flavor combined with the grilled burger counteracted the potential over-​sweetness of the king cake bun to create a taste harmony that I didn’t think could exist. Don’t knock this burger till you try it, as the flavors truly compliment one another.
This aint no fad burger. This is the real deal and should be kept on the menu year round. Don’t shy away from the $ 10.00 price tag, as it’s worth every penny. Go on and get you one! I can hardly wait to try some additional offerings from this cool truck.

This was my first time ever eating off a food truck. and baby it blew my mind. I order the Burger and I was in heaven.

Five stars because I have eaten their crawfish macaroni on multiple occasions and it’s the best macaroni I have ever had. My only warning to people is that unless you are out in the later parts of the evening you are likely to only encounter them at a festival or large event. I don’t think they do a bad job at these larger events, but I think the taste and novelty of their food is depreciated when you have to wait 30+ minutes in a line, and you order something that you know was produced for very large quantities of people. Still the best macaroni around.

I was excited to see their truck on Napoleon today at the Blues Fest so I thought I would try it out. The only item that really appealed to me was the pumpkin risotto balls stuffed with goat cheese. For $ 8 I got a decent sized 4 piece order. I am giving a 3 star review because this item was a good attempt, but an overall failure. I could barely taste the pumpkin, the risotto lacked proper seasoning, and the outside was overpowering and on occasion (but not always) way too salty. I think it is fun to come up with unique combinations, but the final say should be the flavor, and I almost wonder if they actually tasted the item before they put it on the menu.
The good: conceptually amazing
The bad: lacked flavor, could have been better
The ugly: it seemed like a waste of money AND calories

I loved this truck. The giant pork sandwich (angry pig) on French with tomato sauce is amazingly huge and the best thing I have ever gotten from a food truck. The Duck fat fries are like steak fries; good, but not great. I will find them again, and I will eat more food.

This was my 2^nd time (maybe 3^rd) sampling the wares from this truck. Today it was a really delicious lobster/​crab mac n cheese. Seriously amazing with an almost crab au gratin taste.
Previously I had there jicama watermelon salad which was also delicious. I will definitely need to stalk them a few more times and sample more dishes.
Prices are good & the food comes up quick AND the truck has an awning which is nice if it starts raining…
