Three Huntsville food trucks are being hailed as among the best in the U.S. by an international website.

I Love Bacon, Neon Lilly and Rollin Lobstah occupy the top three spots on Z Living's "Meals on Wheels: 8 Amazing Food Trucks in America," list. Here's what the website had to say about the Huntsville food truck trio:

I Love Bacon

Alabama's roaming bacon emporium has a constantly changing menu featuring local and fresh ingredients. Current favorites are Carlos Santana--a Uruguayan brioche sandwich with grilled flank, bacon, ham, and fried egg; Miami Sound Machine--a Cuban sandwich with braised pork belly and Black Forest ham; and Tito Jackson--braised pork belly tacos. And of course, they give you the option of adding double bacon to food. We wish they'd also throw in a free membership to spin class!"

Neon Lilly

This cafe on wheels serves Eastern European cuisine--Ukrainian, Polish, Slavic, and Russian. Look out for Boston Pork butt, Ukrainian Kielbasa made of pork sausage on a hoagie; Golabki--Polish cabbage rolls filled with ground turkey and beef; Siberian Pelmeni plate--pork and beef stuffed Siberian dumplings, and Veggie Shaurma--seasoned rice with greens.

Rollin Lobstah

The food truck offers four dishes starring its main ingredient: fresh, pink, lobster meat. The Mac & Cheese Bacon Lobstah Bites is a starter. The mains have a good bread to lobster ratio. Choose among the Connecticut Lobstah Roll--fresh chunks of lobster in a bun, Maine Lobstah Roll--lobster chunks served cold with lemon mayo or chili infused mayo, and the Lobstah BLT Slidahs--lobster tossed with lemon mayo, and bacon.

You can taste what all the fuss is about this Friday night at the Downtown Street Food Gathering on Church Street in Huntsville. I Love Bacon, Neon Lilly and Rollin Lobstah are expected to be there, along with about 40 other food trucks and mobile food vendors.

Festival hours are 5-9 p.m.; admission is free.

Launched just over a year ago, the wildly popular Downtown Street Food Gatherings are beginning to attract attention outside of Alabama. In April, Destinations Travel Magazine named the Huntsville event one of the best food truck festivals in the U.S. and Canada for 2015.

"The food trucks at the Downtown Street Food Gatherings aren't just your average food trucks; they're generating awards," Downtown Huntsville Inc. CEO Chad Emerson told AL.com.

The Z Living recognition "just confirms the continued success of this concept and this event," he said.

Rounding out the list of "8 Amazing Food Trucks in America" are: Peruvian Brothers in Washington, D.C.; Dark Side of the Moo in Hoboken, N.J.; The Cow and The Curd in Philadelphia; The Feed Truck in Kingston, N.J.; and Sugar Philly in Philadelphia.

Affiliated with Indian media conglomerate Zee Entertainment, Z Living is a New York-based cable TV channel and website devoted to health and fitness, beauty and food.
