Food trucks are the new “it” girl of the restaurant business. They’re everywhere. Every week there’s another food truck rodeo or food truck jamboree. At One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment, we get folks in all the time looking for equipment and supplies for their trucks (no, we do not sell trucks). Google Girl has some deep knowledge of what’s required for a food truck as well as all the ins and outs of legality and safety.
What we didn’t know is that there was a food truck reality show on the Food Network: “The Great Food Truck Race.” The show had its season 2 finale last Sunday; the final two trucks out of the initial eight battling it out on the streets of Miami. The winner of the competition and the $100,000 grand prize is the Lime Truck based out of Orange Co., CA. They’re slogan is “”Crisp. Refreshing. California Beach Cuisine.” Some of their signature dishes include the Yum Yum Lamb Sandwich and the Jane’s Addiction Quesadilla. Sounds deliciously quirky to me!
For the finale, the two finalists – Lime Truck and Hodge Podge – had to cook by changing restrictions like catch your own fish and cook only desserts. They started out with $500 for supplies and went from there.
This definitely sounds like a show One Fat Frog will be checking out during its next season. Maybe they’ll be a contestant from Orlando and we can sponsor them. Hmmmmmm….
