Food Network Brings ‘Great Food Truck Race’ To Pensacola

May 25, 2017

An episode of the Food Network reality TV competition show “The Great Food Truck Race” was filmed in the Pensacola area Wednesday.

For lunch aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, Commanding Officer Capt. Christopher Martin helped the show’s host, Tyler Florence, announce the winning team as decided by 50 service members who acted as judges in a taste testing.

Then it was off to downtown Pensacola for the competitors,  who are vying to win their food truck plus $50,000.  Several trucks set up at the Pensacola City Hall, while others found vending location along the Palafox Street area.

The food trucks are expected back in the downtown area from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The episode of The Great Food Truck Race filmed in Pensacola will likely air in late August or early September on the Food Network.

    HUH…and I thought that Pensacola mayor and city council and downtown disapprovement board had BANNED food trucks.
    Guess they kowtow when there’s a chance to get their picture on the news in a good way.
