The 3rd season  of The Great Food Truck Race is currently being cast, but if you have a food truck, don’t bother applying.

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

They will give you a food truck to compete, and if you win, you get to keep the food truck!

 Back in October, we told you about Eat St. asking for video submissions from vendors to be on their program.  The response has been excellent, and now it’s time for you to vote for your favorites.

Click through to find out which vendors submitted videos and how to vote for them.  There are a few local vendors, so make sure to support our hometown favorites.

This Sunday the Simpsons takes on foodie culture, including celebrity chefs, food bloggers, molecular gastronomy, cooking competitions and more.  Even though we’re a part of this world, it is ripe for skewering.

South Park had a food episode not too long ago that you can watch here, and the Upright Citizens Brigade has a new show called Pig: A Restaurant that takes on our food-obsessed culture.

We guess the proverbial shark hath officially been jumped.

Grub Street had an interesting interview with Simpsons Executive Producer Matt Selman, which you can read here.

So far we’re safe.  The titans of pop culture haven’t gotten around to satirizing food trucks yet – but it’s only a matter of time.

On my way to the 1 train this morning, I did a double-take.  Across Hudson St was a covered wagon giving out free coffee.

They were promoting the new Western series on AMC called Hell On Wheels that premieres this Sun, Nov 6th.  The tagline for the series is “Blood Will Be Spilled. Lives Will Be Lost. Men Will Be Ruined.”  Sounds serious.

There weren’t any vittles or grub, but free coffee is free coffee.  I was told they will probably be there until about 1pm or so.
