"Hey! That truck has a mustache!"
It takes a lot to get my attention, but when someone yells that a truck is sporting a mustache, you bet that my head is turning to see it. If you're late to the game, The Food Network has a new show called The Great Food Truck Race (GFTR for the savvy readers), which premiered two weeks ago.
Let's sum this up quickly - the competing food trucks are eliminated based on which one makes the least amount of money each week. Each week, a new city, a new challenge, and some bizarre twist to keep it interesting with the hopes of winning $50K.
Here's our favorite food trucks (ranked in order of appeal):
Austin Daily Press
Reasoning: Cory Nunez
Grill 'Em All
Reasoning: Couple of scruffy dudes, making burgers, & using a megaphone. Oh & they're LA-based... and you know how we like them LA boys.
Crepes Bonaparte
Reasoning: They sport a freaking 'stache on their truck. Need I say more? - Of course not.
Spencer on the Go
Reasoning: Not Chef Katgely, but one of his truck cooks has a long white wizard goatee that is sure to make anyone who orders the food question if his hair was dipped into their meal. It's pretty bad-ass.
