1st: The Jiggy Pig, Raymore; 816-812-2342,
thejiggypig.com
The Jiggy Pig is far from your typical barbecue truck. Owners
Jaret and Jenna Jensen opened the food truck in 2017 and are
known for their unique barbecue combinations coming out
of their bright red trailer. The menu changes depending on
what's available, but you can't go wrong with their signature
sandwich, the Jiggy Pig. Smoked pulled pork and Pig Candy -
thick-cut bacon cooked down with brown sugar and a house
rub - are piled high on a pretzel bun. Check Facebook to
see where The Jiggy Pig is parking.
2nd: Ozark Mountain Biscuit Co., Columbia;
573-999-9323, ozarkmountainbiscuits.com
A lot has changed since Bryan Maness fi rst opened Ozark
Mountain Biscuit Co., in 2013. Their business has expanded
and now includes a brick-and-mortar location across the
street from Logboat Brewing Co., in Columbia. One thing
hasn't changed, the delicious food that's derived from Bryan's
family roots. There's plenty of unique fl avor combinations,
but if you show up at the food truck with an appetite, go for
The Boss Hog. An open-faced biscuit is topped with pulled
pork, greens, sausage gravy, a fried egg, crispy onions and a
housemade barbecue Arkan-sauce.
EC: Zydeco's Cajun Kitchen Food Truck, Moberly;
660-693-3544, zydecos.co
If étouffée, fried shrimp and gumbo are your idea of a tasty
meal, you need to hop online and fi nd where Zydeco's Cajun
Kitchen Food Truck is parked today. Owners Randy and Lynn
Perkins have been serving up authentic Cajun dishes since
opening their food truck in 2018. For a burst of fl avor, order
the jambalaya with andouille sausage, smoked shredded
chicken and plenty of Cajun spices.
1st: Hurts Donut Co., Springfi eld; 417-719-4119
wannahurts.com
Since fi rst hitting Springfi eld November 2013, Hurts Donut
Co., has become a donut mecca in the Ozarks and beyond.
Their donuts are as delicious as they are colorful and creative.
They offer more than 70 varieties of their donuts, so
you're sure to fi nd something you'll like. If you've got a little
Sesame Street fan at home, you'll be the hero when you
come back with a Cookie Monster donut. It's a chocolate
donut drenched in bright, blue icing, with two eyes and Oreo
crumbles.
2nd: Papa Jake's Donut Shop, Sedalia; 663-826-3176
You'll be the coworker of the day with a stop at Papa Jake's
on your way to the offi ce. The Sedalia staple has satisfi ed
their customers' sweet tooth for more than fi ve decades.
Their baked and fried donuts are made inside the unassuming
building at the corner of West 16th Street and South Park
Avenue. Be sure to grab a custard-fi lled long john before they
sell out.
EC: Hoeckele's Bakery and Deli, Perryville;
573-547-4506, hoeckelebakery.com
The sweet smell will hit you as soon as you walk into the bakery.

for 85 years. They serve all the classics you'd expect at a
donut shop such as glazed and sugar donuts, apple and cherry
fritters, jelly-fi lled donuts and long johns. This is no small
shop however, Hoeckele's makes between 250 and 550 dozen
donuts daily.
