The Great Food Truck Race

It was a good show. Then apparently drama and rigging the game became more important-like with Khana. In previous seasons if a truck was down someone they had to stay that way, and if a truck made a bad decision then consequences came with it; was not only completely unfair but really sucky to promote that kind of behavior. Also, why just LA? The challenge was more exciting when it wasn't bound to the producer's home town. It meant that during the trips the team had to research the town, figure out local events and possible selling spots, along with looking at what was present and figure out how to make an appealing menu. This took real skill and determination. Please go for quality, real challenges, and kindness. The world is a hot mess enough as it is. Thanks!

I've watched Seasons 2 to 4 and 3 other seasons. I like Season 3; working all shifts (including the 1:00 am graveyard shift); traveling all across the country from California to the northeastern-most part of the US (where, if you make a wrong turn, you end up in Canada). If you'e binge watching, it's the best show (The Great Food Truck Race) from the food network. I've watched hundreds of tv shows and thousands of movies. It's a pretty great show.

We used to love food network and their content. This was a genuinely interesting show at one point. Just watched season 18 episode 1 and I see good food is no longer the goal. A few seasons ago they had a drag queen who was more interested in self promoting than cooking and was grifting people for $20 for Kraft mac n cheese. This season theres some IT guys. They are using grandmas recipes. I use bobby flays recipes, that does not make me bobby play. Theywere crying because Muslims have been looked down upon. Some truck serves biscuits with anything you can think of. They have heart attack grill of 4 wheels and other uninspiring cuisine. Zero talent all around.

I get it. Food network is circling the drain. Being replaced by youtube creators who can spit out 20 min videos weekly. The days of Alton Brown, Giada and Bobby are done. Now we get 50 variations of Guy Fieri shows all day. Anyways it's sad to see, but inevitable I suppose.

And who eats from food trucks anyways?

Season 15 with the drag queen. RIDICULOUS. AND they keep being moved on! Their food was horrible the first episode - they should have gone home then. Then down the road - they park where there was no business ... along comes Tyler telling them WHERE to move to get business. Nope. That's playing favorites ... and giving a team recommendations that are not fair. It up to the food truck participants to find a good parking spot. So rigged in favor of the drag queens. Pretty much done with this show.

I watched five or six seasons of the show but last year was the worst by far but I kept it on my DVR until 10 minutes into the show this year. I knew they were gonna keep on going like they did last year. What was entertaining for the first few years was good food trucks making good food. That's not what's happening anymore. I really really really wanted this year to go back to the old formula but it didn't. So I will be taking it off of my list of things to watch this summer which is sad because I really enjoyed it the first few years. I wish they would go back to having food trucks selling and not who has the biggest social media, following or social background that you desire to continue on when you know there's no way they wouldn't without some creative producing.
