The Great Food Truck Race

Tyler Florence, I have watched every season of The Great Food Truck Race This season was the most disapointing allowing "Maybe Cheese Born With It" at Glamis, CA To sell food 90 minutes before anything is ready to serve, acruing tons of extra sales. It caused other trucks to panic and try to do the same. This gave them an unfair advantage as they worked longer then anyone else. When you call it on sales they can still serve up the extra 90 minutes worth of sales.

In past seasons the trucks did all the prep and then opened to sell. Where do you draw the line to make it a fair race?

They won that week by cheating as far as I am concerned!

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!

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?

I used to love GFTR - but this season is complete BS! I wouldn't assume many (if any) food trucks operate in WINTER in Alaska, so why send them there to do horrific tasks like cooking s'mores over an open fire. I'm done - will not be watching anymore episodes SMH.

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.
