Aww Shucks Fire Roasted Corn Named Best in Alabama — Corn-Centered Food Truck Wins Big at 2025 Best of Alabama Awards

Alabama has spoken, and it turns out, corn can be the star of the show. Aww Shucks Fire Roasted Corn, Alabama’s original gourmet fire-roasted street corn food truck, has been voted a 2025 Best of Alabama Award Winner, earning the title of one of the state’s top food trucks.

Founded in 2020 by Dr. Avrie and Phillip Powell, Aww Shucks started with a simple idea: bring hot, delicious, plant-based street food to outdoor events where options were limited. What began as a personal solution for this vegetarian couple has since grown into a fan-favorite experience that’s drawing crowds across the state.

“Our customers are the heart of this business. They’ve followed us from day one all over the state, shared us with their friends and family, and made this win possible,” says co-founder Dr. Avrie Powell. “This award belongs to them as much as it does to us.”

At Aww Shucks, every ear of corn is roasted in the husk over an open flame, then dressed with bold flavors. They offer gourmet flavors like the Mexican Street Cob, Garlic Herb Parmesan, Creamy Lemon Pepper and many more. Customers can enjoy their corn on the cob, or stuffed into a baked potato with a menu that’s mostly plant-based and always made fresh.

Since its humble beginnings, Aww Shucks has grown into the nation’s first and only corn-based franchise, setting the gold standard for fire-roasted street corn. With regular routes, a heavy festival presence, and a dedicated fanbase, the truck continues to prove that corn is more than a side dish — it’s the main event.

The Best of Alabama Awards are decided by public vote, making this win a powerful reflection of Aww Shucks’ loyal following and the growing demand for creative, plant-based street food.
