Food Network Casting Season 3 of The Great Food Truck Race. Food Truckers Need Not Apply.



Have you been thinking of starting a food truck but just don't have the capital? Tyler Florence wants you for The Great Food Truck Race! The casting call was put out today for new teams to compete in the third season of the show and the producers aren't exactly interested whether you even have a food truck. Heck, they don't want you if you do.

Their casting call specifically states: “in order to qualify you must be a newbie and have never owned or operated a food truck.”

In fact, they'll give you a food truck. And when you win, you get to keep the food truck.

Yes, in a complete revamp of the concept, Food Network will turn the winner of
Season 3 into a food truck entrepreneur. You could think of it as The Great Food Truck Race: The Next Great Food Truck, where everyone has a shot.
Or you could call this the show's “jump the shark” moment.

Is this democratization just an extension of the food truck ethos?
Or just the point where you stop watching?

There may have been no other out for the producers. They could not
maintain the status quo.
Last season, with social networking and the immediacy of the Internet
(not to mention bloggers like this one) the results of each episode's
elimination challenges were easily cracked as they filmed. The finalists
were known even before the debut episode aired.
