On Set with Food Network’s Show "The Great Food Truck Race", Part 2

Hi, welcome back. Let’s continue the picture tour of “The Great Food Truck Race” with host Tyler Florence while they stopped in Denver last weekend. If you have missed part 1, please click here.

Let’s go follow me:

from Irvine CA, serving crisp, refreshing, California beach cuisine.

You may ask yourself, so how did she end up being on set? Believe me, I really don’t know exactly.
While taking pictures of the Korilla BBQ’s crew and kitchen one of the producers approached me. I thought, oh no, now I am in trouble for always being so nosy. He will probably ask me to delete my pictures. I was totally wrong. It turned out, that the producer thought it would be of interest to show his viewers how social media affects  the increase in popularity the food trucks are having compared to the first season’s show. This also included food blogging and it happened that I was at the right place at the right time.

Oh, before I forget. Do I have a favorite?

Food:  Yes, Chef Hodges Angus Burger and the tiger tacos at Korilla BBQ.
Truck:  Well, it is hard to say. I believe that the Lime truck, Korilla BBQ and Hodge Podge seemed like the strongest teams.
Entertainment: No doubt at the Hodge Podge Truck on Sunday late afternoon where Chef Chris went wild after hours of service by himself. He was running over cars and after the ice cream truck while serving his customers.

So, maybe, I’ll be lucky and “My Kitchen in the Rockies” will make it on the show. Check out Food Network starting on August 14 at 10p following the Food Network Star finale. The episodes will show on Sundays at 9p through September 25 (I assume that is CST). My teens and I will be watching it no matter what.
