The Struggle Is Real..."The Great Food Truck Race"

The Great Food Truck Race (2010)

TV-PG

Hosted by Tyler Florence

The Story:

From the Food Network, here comes another reality series where this time, Food Trucks race around America trying to sell their dishes in different communities. Whoever makes the least amount of money goes home.

Naturally, as it is a game show/reality show hybrid, nothing is that simple, so challenges and obstacles will be issued and needed to be overcome by each of the teams.

So yes, here I come, late to another party that started 5 years ago, but I don't care.

:)

That, is the beauty of Netflix.

And apparently, the offered up the 3rd season first (and looks like they worked backwards from there) when I watched.

What's the big deal about that you ask?

Apparently, the 3rd season took a bunch of people who wanted to own a Food Truck, and gave them a truck and let them create.

To the winners, $50,000 AND the keys to their truck! 

Pretty sweet gig, and the right team actually won.

It's a great way to take the plunge into the show though.  These teams and people are learning their trade on the fly as they are all stepping out of a real kitchen and into a food truck together, so there is a lot of growth and failure (and drama) that may not exist for owners/operators of trucks already.

Or maybe I'm wrong, I'll have to check out the other 2 seasons to find out.

Final Grade: B
