"The Great Food Truck Race" - Griddle to the Metal - NYTimes.com

New show coming to the Food Network combines my love of foodtrucks with my displeasure of not eating and also watching TV. When is one of the competition’s stops going to be my mouth?

The show is called “The Great Food Truck Race.” Seven specialty food trucks — home-style Cajun, fine-dining French, pressed sandwiches, Vietnamese banh mis, crepes, hamburgers and banana pudding — will set off on a six-week road trip from Los Angeles to New York, stopping along the way to peddle their grub. The teams who sell the most food advance to the next town; the losers pack up their fryers and head home. As the celebrity chef Tyler Florence, who hosts the show, put it recently, “It’s like ‘Cannonball Run’ with food trucks.”
