Talk:The Great Food Truck Race

Tips to Improve the Article
In response to: Should we remove the links to the Twitter/ Facebook pages of the teams? (from season 5 and season 6) I think that counts as promotional content. Also I think the links to the Twitter/ Facebook pages fit these statements from the Links normally to be avoided section of External links * Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article." * Social networking sites (such as Myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram), chat or discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups), Twitter feeds, Usenet newsgroups or e-mail lists. (emphasis added) --Clubguppy (talk) 05:24, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Truck Teams
Like the previous season, none of the eight teams own a food truck. Food Network designed each team's truck based on their proposed concept. The winning team will earn $50,000 and keep the truck. Eight truck teams are competing in the fifth season:

Beach Cruiser  is from Venice, CA and serves authentic, fresh California cuisine dishes. Beach Cruiser was eliminated in week five in St. Louis, Missouri after charging only $5 for tacos and narrowly losing the Truck Stop to Lone Star Chuck Wagon.

Chatty Chicken  is from Chattanooga, TN and serves fried chicken with sweet tea sauce and southern dishes. Chatty Chicken was eliminated in week one in Venice, CA after initially failing to purchase enough oil to deep-fry their chicken and then losing time having to double-back to their truck twice while buying more.

Let There Be Bacon  is from Cleveland, OH and serves bacon-inspired dishes. Let There Be Bacon was eliminated in week six in Mobile, Alabama after spending an excess amount of time prepping and taking more than two hours to open their truck for business.

Lone Star Chuck Wagon  is from Houston, TX and serves BBQ, Tex-Mex, and much more. Lone Star Chuck Wagon were eliminated in the finale in Key West, Florida after their loss in the Truck Stop gave them only half the seed money The Middle Feast earned. Lone Star Chuck Wagon ran out of ingredients and were not able to restock, losing business and ultimately the race to The Middle Feast.

Madres Mexican Meals  is from Norwalk, CA and serves authentic Mexican dishes. Madres Mexican Meals was eliminated in week four in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma after a poor location choice led to lagging sales and clogging their meat grinder so they couldn't make enough burgers to compete in the Truck Stop.

Military Moms  is from Fort Drum, NY and is made of moms whose husbands or sons are deployed in military. They serve comfort food. Military Moms was eliminated in week three in Austin, Texas after picking a bad location and not pushing sales. They were beaten by Madres Mexican Meals by only $6, after Madres won $100 in the Truck stop truck swap.

The Middle Feast  is from Los Angeles, CA and serves Middle Eastern food dishes. After seven weeks and more than 4,000 miles, The Middle Feast won season five of The Great Food Truck Race, beating out runners-up Lone Star Chuck Wagon by $700.

The Gourmet Graduates is from Providence, RI and, true to their name, are recent graduates from a cooking college. They serve cafeteria food with a gourmet twist. The Gourmet Graduates were eliminated in week two in Tucson, Arizona for being unable to market their team very well and for their overconfidence for choosing to not sell during their last hours.

Truck Teams
In this season, all of the teams are professional food truck operators. The winning team will earn $50,000 for their businesses. Seven truck teams are competing in the sixth season:

Diso's Italian Sandwich Society  is from New York City, NY and serves fresh, quality Italian sandwiches.
