The Great Food Truck Race
Posting about the Great Food Truck Race even though I've only watched about 20 minutes of the first episode, because a couple of months back ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
myrialux and I were in our local Central Markupet and as we were checking out, the cashier mentioned that if we hadn't eaten lunch yet, there was a food truck outside. She was a little unsure as to why it was there, but mentioned there were TV cameras around at one point.
A few weeks later, I found out about the Great Food Truck Race show on the Food Channel and added 2 and 2 together.
We did not actually eat at the food truck, as we'd eaten lunch right before going shopping. :) The Fort Worth episode will be aired this upcoming Sunday, so I am hiding which truck it was under the cut in case you DVRed yesterday's ep and haven't watched it yet and don't want to know who wasn't eliminated.
It was the Nom Nom truck. The cashier mentioned it had banh mi sandwiches, which intrigued me and I kind of wanted to try but as I said, we'd really just eaten lunch and were still full. A missed opportunity!
Tune in on Sunday to see the overpriced upscale grocery store I go to! :) Plus the guest judge is Chef Tim Love, who owns one of the burger joints we go to lots, the Love Shack. We haven't yet gone to his upscale restaurant, Lonesome Dove, but we have vague plans of maybe taking my mother there the next time we can get her up here.

Oh, and if you've never had a good bánh mì then you are really missing out. Go try one now. Although be careful of the jalapeño. It bites.

One day I shall have a bánh mì! One day! (I have to figure out where in town serves them first.)

In the meantime, a good rule of thumb to judging if you will have a good one or not is to ask how old the bread is. If it's not at least a day or more old they aren't doing it right. (The traditional version is an outgrowth of French Vietnam, and it was a type of "poor food", which means stale bread is part of it; it's also the main reason the bread is buttered - to soften it up a little).
Oh! And you must be sure to get the one that will be labeled as something like "roasted pork" or "bbq pork". Other ones are usually good, too, but that's the one that will make your tongue try to beat your lips off to get to it.
