Tuscaloosa Episode of ‘The Great Food Truck Race’ Airs in September
The 3rd episode of Season 8 of Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race, aptly titled, Battle for the South: Sweet Home Alabama was filmed in Tuscaloosa.
Airtime is set at 8 pm on Sunday, September 3rd with an encore performance on Monday, September 4th at 11 pm, both airing on Food Network.
A description on Food Network's website states,
The remaining five trucks arrive in Tuscaloosa, Ala. to find Tyler Florence and pastry chef Jan Moon waiting for them with a challenge: to crack the most pecans in just 15 minutes. The teams must then use their pecans in a dessert dish to sell on their trucks, with the winner receiving valuable mentoring time with Jan and the team that makes the most profits winning $200. On the second day in Tuscaloosa, Tyler challenges the cooks to a happy hour: for one hour, the pecan dishes will be sold for $1 only, and the team with the overall lowest sales will be out of the competition.
