Great Food Truck Race - Hodge Podge

The Great Food Truck Race - Atlanta, GA.

A treat today as we found out that the Food Network Show - The Great Food Truck Race, was in Atlanta, so we decided to go check it out.

Chef Tyler Florence is the host of the show, and the first episode will air Sunday, August 14th. The last truck standing wins $100,000!





The Menu:
Ribeye Taco's
Fish Taco's
Uncle Lou's Fried Chicken Taco's
King Crab Dip
Truffle Tator Tots
Fruit Cup




Truffle Tator Tot's - Tot's cooked in a truffle oil. Tator Tot's are one of those bad for you foods I have to say I am guilty of loving. Nice flavor cooked in the truffle oil.











Rib-eye Taco's - Marinated Rib-eye - topped with sweet corn slaw and BBQ Sauce.

Very flavorful. Slaw was excellent.










Fish Taco's - Marinated White fish, topped with Georgia Peach Slaw and Lemon Aioli.

Fish was cooked well. Slaw was good. Good dish - but I thought it lacked something. Maybe a different sauce could have kicked the dish up a little bit.







The Challenge of the truck today was to serve food to the mass's without the main chef being there. Of course, Food Network picked a 95 Degree "Hot-Lanta" day - and had the customer's baking on the pavement. You could tell that this affected the Service as the line was long - and service was slow. The girls in the truck seemed to do their best and served with smiles on their face.
