May 11-13 Great Food Truck Race 3 in Flagstaff for Mother’s Day

If you wish to tweet me: please use hashtag #Greatfoodtruckrace so I can locate it easier. Feel free to tweet or email me pictures of the food truck and the food. I’ll add it here and of course, give you credit. On weekends I am not able to access my blog as often, so follow my tweets and RT’s for updates.


The contestants are now in Flagstaff, Arizona.

 Thanks to the power of social media, I came across local blogger and tweeter @Fizzbathshop who worked diligently to give updated information about the food trucks and their locations.

@callmemochelle @Asilv4 @PMonthofer @michellekoechle I saw seven trucks and have pictures. I can post pictures later.

On Friday, the trucks were spotted in the Snowbowl / New Frontier area.  No trucks were selling food, but Two Martini Lunch, has great photos of the contestants participating in this season’s GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE as well as food pictures from Saturday.

Saturday the trucks were parked in front of Fizzbathshop (ha ha, she didn’t even have to chase the trucks afterall) and also at Sam’s Club. 

I came across a tweet that one of the challenge may involved cactus!

Sunday the trucks were still in Flagstaff, in the same area.  The theme for Sunday was vegan!

Last year I was pretty obvious that I was rooting for #TheLimeTruck to win.  Roxy’s from Boston had their fans, and so did Hodge from Cleveland.  This season is no different. Even though the food trucks are newbies, they have family and friends rooting for them. 

Food Trucks #NonnasKitchenette, #PizzaMike, and #BarbieBabes has their fan tweeting on their behalf.  Good luck to those fans… I did it last year, and it was a tough labor of love!

Next stop…AMARILLO, TEXAS!

Great Food Truck Race 3 Contestants

I was hoping to locate the food trucks before they made it to their destinaton.  The Food Network is really making me work to find out who this season’s contestants are. 

Thanks to twitter, facebook, and fans I was finally able to locate all the trucks.

Nonna’s Kitchentte, Seoul Sausage, Barbie Babes Aussie, Pop-a-Waffle, Momma’s Grizzly Grub,   Coast of Atlanta, Pizza Mike.

Confirmed by Flagstaff tweeter, there’s 7 trucks

You can also go here to see Fizzbathshop’s photos of the food trucks that were all in Flagstaff.

Fast Food Maven’s list of food trucks

Nancy Luna, aka: Fast Food Maven, compiled a list of food trucks in Orange County.  Unfortunately as soon as she posted it, the list was immediately inaccurate.  One of the truck lots closed.  Sorry Maven… welcome to the impossible task of calendaring an “accurate” list of food trucks! I’ve been trying for 2 1/2 years now 😦

Here’s the link to the entire article.
