Sunny Daze Cruising Cafe has been named the 2024 Owensboro Food Truck of the Year after winning the public voting competition hosted by Owensboro Times and sponsored by First United Bank and Trust. It was a tight vote among the top five food trucks.
J’s Good Grub won the inaugural competition in 2023. In order to help promote all locally owned businesses, the rules of our competition stipulate a food truck cannot win in back-to-back years. Instead, the most recent winner — in this case J’s — helps present the trophy to the new winner.
In a close race, Sunny Dayz claimed the top spot for 2024. The food truck opened in February 2023 and serves a variety of food throughout the community. Their crew said they appreciate all the votes and value the community support of the last year and a half.
Round out the top five were Firehouse 29 BBQ and More, Hello Pop, Torera Hibachi, and Basil’s Food Truck.
Any food truck/trailer, including those that only offer beverages or dessert, that serves Owensboro-Daviess County was eligible.
