The Great Food Truck Race Coming To A TV Near You [RoamingATL]

The Food Network has enlisted celebrity chef Tyler Florence to help bring food truck culture to reality TV.  On Sunday August 15th, the Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race premiers at 10PM EST.  Sadly, no members of Atlanta’s burgeoning community will be on the show.  However, a number of notable street slinging foodies are featured.  The complete list … after the jump!
