One man team? I think both are: Lime Truck and Roxy's. Roxy's are the Boston boys with the grilled cheeses.

I don't know that I like any of them yet.

Roxy is the one that parked their car and truck in front of the other truck (I believe it was the New York team) so that no one could get to them. The next scene showed the 2 trucks sitting a little way apart, so hopefully someone on the show told them they had to move.

When they ended up in the bottom two last night, I was hoping that they were leaving and if it hadn't been for the flat tire, I believe they would have. I can always hope for this week.

By this time next year, the number of food trucks in Salt Lake City will have tripled.

No wonder we get so many reality show contestants from Utah. There's clearly nothing else to do. 'There's a food truck we've never seen before! Let's go get a meal! And then we'll come back for another! And follow the truck! For two days! Start calling friends: this is the most important event since The Great Airplane Sighting Of '06!' By the end of the episode, I was convinced I could personally take over the state with a hot dog cart.

...there's a non-Caucasian population? Wow. Who knew?

And of course the Devilicious truck was going to lose. The state legislature demanded it! (Talk about pricing yourself right out of the market...)

15 dollars for a sandwich from a foodtruck?
"RE: TheGreat Food Truck Race"

I can pay ten just by closing my eyes, turning in a circle, and randomly pointing. (Of course, if I do this in Manhattan, I am asking for a lot worse than paying ten dollars for a sandwich.) Fifteen doesn't require all that much in the way of searching. Actually, these days, ten is getting close to 'greasy sausage with burnt peppers at an unlicensed street fair' level. Which makes next week's Random Harassment Call into a sort of revenge.

Fifteen doesn't surprise me for a self-titled gourmet truck. The mild shock was in the number of recession-prone people willing to pay it.

"Cheaters"
Posted by Puffy on 09-12-11 at 02:10 AM
Korilla got caught cheating by adding $2700 to their till. If they hadn't cheated, they would have come in 3rd out of 4 teams and would have stayed. Hodge Podge was saved.




"RE: Cheaters"
Posted by Estee on 09-12-11 at 09:10 AM
I don't get it.

No, I get the cheating: they didn't know where they were in the standings, they were freaking out about losing, and their egos turned out to be a little too strong for their own good. I don't understand doing it halfway. If you're going to add your own cash to the till, you make the decision with a few hours left and start either writing completely fake receipts or adding phantom items to real ones. Put a little mark next to anything which isn't supposed to be cooked, then proceed normally. Your chances of sneaking this past your cameraman still aren't that good, but at least you have the documentation which backs up the financial fakery. What they did comes across as a total panic move: toss the money in while the camera was pointed elsewhere while completely forgetting there were two counts made. No chance at all.

Columbia should be ashamed. Ivy League graduates never break the rules halfway!

I only saw the end because of the preview. I will have to watch later in the week. Glad Hodge Podge was saved - they are my faves.

Korilla was getting the Nom Nom edit. Glad they are gone.

$2700 seemed like a LOT to add.

I've always wondered how the totals were derived, what with the quick pace, changing prices, supplies bought on credit, etc. I guess they have it figured out. $2700 seems like an awful big amount to slip in and think that you were not going to get caught.

Do you think all 3 knew about it? They were hard guys to like. I wonder how closely a cameraman follows each team?

This season has been a lot more aggressive than last.

"Semi-finals"
Posted by Puffy on 09-20-11 at 08:57 PM
The Hodge Podge chef said it best, "they put cheese on bread!" Yay, the Roxy truck from Boston is gone.




"RE: Semi-finals"
Posted by Estee on 09-21-11 at 10:19 AM
Sure, but when you think about the sheer variety of cheese and bread available...

So much for the rivalry reaching the finals: the editing really made it feel like it would be cheesy vs. slime at the end. Instead, we have Dumb Luck vs. Just Dumb. And I'm not really sure that's an improvement.

"RE: Semi-finals"
Posted by samboohoo on 09-22-11 at 08:43 AM
Of the three, I would have totally bought a grilled cheese first. But I also like Hodge, so I'm rooting for them.

If someone was smart, they'd open up one of these next to your neighborhood:

Feh.

At least it stops the endless procession of vicious uncaring sabotage Truck Stops. 'And now, as this week's extra-special twist, I will stab two of your teammates in the back, poison your food supply, and set your truck on fire. If you can't make three thousand dollars before sunset under those conditions, you're out. And now I will return to lounging in a hot tub with bribed models until the time comes to kidnap your family.'

If Tyler's goal was to insert himself into the Top Ten Reality Host Jerks list? Mission accomplished with a side order of Go Away. Let them play the game -- and contrary to what production wants to believe, the game was not Paradise Hotel.

Hosting seems to be the way to go.
