Great Food Truck Race 2: Season Premiere watch party

On August 14, 2011, The Lime Truck and the Seabirds Truck held a watch party at the SoCo Collection in Costa Mesa, CA.  Supporters of both trucks turned out for food and to watch the premiere of the Food Network’s “Great Food Truck Race2”.

The Lime Truck had a special menu which had to be preordered /prepaid.  In addition, both trucks were serving a full menu and drinks.

Congratulations to both The Lime Truck and Seabirds Truck for participating in this year’s race…. and good luck!  Orange County is rooting for you!

The Lime Truck will be at this location from Tuesday to Sundays from 11:00 am -9:00 pm until September. 

The SoCo Collection is located at
3313 Hyland Ave
Costa Mesa, CA

The Great Food Truck Race2 – FINISHED FILMING!

THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE2 HAS FINISHED FILMING.  THANK YOU TO ALL THE FOOD TRUCK FANS FOR FOLLOWING ME DURING THE JOURNEY. 
Please be sure to watch the Food Network on August 14!

Season 2 for the Great Food Truck Race is being filmed right now HAS FINISHED FILMING.  I was in Las Vegas, where one of my favorite OC Trucks, The Lime Truck was competing against other food trucks to stay in the Race. 


Please check out the posts on what I ate in Vegas from The Lime Truck, and some production photos of two food truck teams (Hodge Podge & Devilicious) “strategizing” their next move in Las Vegas.  This segment is supposed to air August 14.


The following week I made a VERY spontaneous trip with my husband (and dog @Perritolulu) from Brea, CA to Salt Lake City, UT.  The drive wasn’t that bad… the trip took 10.5 hours each way, and you can click here to see what The Lime Truck was serving up there on Saturday.


Here are the trucks in the Race.  I won’t be posting any spoilers (not intentionally)

  • The Lime Truck from the OC,
  • Seabirds truck from the OC,
  • SkyTaco from LA,
  • Cafe con leche from LA,
  • Devilicious from San Diego,
  • Hodge Podge from Cleveland, OH,
  • Roxy’s Grilled Cheese from Boston, MA,

Please follow me on twitter for clues on the next filming location. 
I’ll try to post updates here when I “hear” them on twitter.

If you click here, I’ve sorted the posts that are relating to the Great Food Truck Race 2 and the cities. If you do eat at the Lime Truck… Tell them you saw pictures of their food from “Callmemochelle’s” blog!  It won’t get you anything… but MAYBE a laugh or two.


The Food Network issued a press release, including the cities the trucks will be in…
