The Great Food Truck Race in Miami

Hodge Podge Truck

This past Saturday, I got the chance to go down to Miami with my buddy Thomas for the filming of the final leg of The Food Networks Great Food Truck Race. There were two trucks that made it to the final leg. The Great Food Truck Race pits 8 Food Trucks from across the country against each other in a race across the country. They go from city to city that are pre-selected trying to be the last Truck standing in the final city, and take home the $100,000 Grand Prize.

The two trucks that made the final in Miami are the Hodge Podge Truck from Cleveland, Ohio and The Lime Truck from Irvine, California. Because we only had a limited amount of time we were only able to catch up with The Hodge Podge Truck. We tried the Rib-eye Tacos and Fish Tacos from their menu that also included items such as Crab Dip, Mahi Mahi Tartar, and Sweet Potato Tater Tots. The Rib-eye Tacos were made with 100% Certified Angus Rib-eye and topped with coleslaw, jalapeƱo's, and a BBQ sauce. The Fish Tacos were made with fresh fish and topped with coleslaw, sliced peaches, and a lemon aioli. With just trying these two different tacos I think Chef Chris and his crew on The Hodge Podge truck are well on their way to winning the Great Food Truck Race and the $100,000 Grand Prize.

Although I only got to try The Hodge Podge Truck today, I want to also say good luck to the Chef and Crew of The Lime Truck.
