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!

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.

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.

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 used to watch "The Great Food Truck Race" when it first began. I sure loved it, but then I forgot about it for a while because, well, "life happened." I started watching one season during either the recession or the pandemic (I can't quite remember). It was a depressing time, and I didn't watch that season from the beginning.

I noticed during the depressing time that Tyler Florence seemed to not be at his best. He had gained weight and I figured he was feeling stressed in life like the rest of us folks were.

This season, Tyler Florence is back and looking great and alive! I loved the teams. I remember other seasons containing quite a bit of drama/arguments that I don't like to watch.

If I am correct, Tyler Florence isn't controlling everything. The winners "must" make the "SALES." If they don't make the top sales, they lose and go home.

When it comes to these types of cooking programs, viewers must remember that WE are not there. We also don't see all the stuff going on behind the scenes. And we get to look at the dishes, but we are not tasting any of them to say whether they are good or bad.

This season's winning team was "top-notch" when dealing with the public. The one guy "outside" their truck was wonderfully sociable and good at connecting with people. He did an excellent job selling their dishes. He had a great, fun personality, as well, and I'm sure there were possibly a lot of people who liked him and also wanted to eat his team's type of food.

One of the earlier teams that was eliminated also had a "good seller" with great people skills. He wasn't shy. However, I thought he was a bit too aggressive when he was approaching people and trying to win them over. It may have hurt their sales.

I trust that "The Great Food Truck Race" ends up with the winning team that is supposed to win, and I am ALWAYS happy for the winners. I love their personal stories. It makes me feel good to see other people achieving their dreams and goals in life.

Congrats to the WINNERS!
