BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — It's 84 degrees, a band is covering one of your favorite 80s jams, you have a beer, some fried dough and a couple of friends with you.

You can understand why hundreds showed up for an incredible night in June for the beginning of Food Truck Tuesday.

"We have three full months of summer fun and if this is any indication, oh my gosh," said Leslie Zemsky, VP of Larkin Development Group.

Marie Lima brought her friend Denise Knight for her first time, thinking this first Tuesday would be light.

"And I thought, well, it's a beautiful night and here they are everybody came out," said Knight.

Foodies came out to get a taste of the different food trucks from all over WNY and hear some live music. It's a simple equation for happiness.

"It's the place to be on a Tuesday night," said Lima. "The food is fabulous. There's so many people here and the music is spectacular."

What delicious treats were people enjoying? We're talking pulled pork from Fat Bobs, sausage from Street Eats, and some delicious treats from Luiga's Ice Cream on Wheels.

And the food and the music are all so much better when you're enjoying it with loved ones and neighbors.

"It's just a great time, you know, it's a bunch of different new food trucks and a lot of friends I haven't seen in a while, everybody seems to congregate down here, it's beautiful," said AJ Giordano.
