Tonight the Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race returns for an all new, but abbreviated, holiday installment. This time around there’s just five food truck teams that will hit the road to see who has the best combination of culinary skills and salesmanship to win the $50,000 grand prize. And for this holiday race, the teams are headed to my neck of the woods, New England.

The five teams competing include “Big Stuff”, comprised of two professional private chefs who work on yachts, and their marketing friend; “Creole Queens”, a married couple from New Orleans along with their friend; “Lia’s Lupima”, an executive chef who started a catering company with his mother, joined by a friend; “Magical Mystery Heroes”, a chef along with his cousin and his cousin’s wife, and “Slap Shot”, a Northern Minnesota culinary student, her sister, and their mother.

Even though it will just be a short, 4-episode season, it should be a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to this winter-themed installment of the series.

In tonight’s premiere, “”Holiday Hustle: Blizzard Brawl”, five aspiring food truck teams kick off the season in snowy Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Tyler Florence challenges the contestants with naughty and nice holiday ingredients, and they compete for sales while battling the elements in a winter wonderland.

Tonight, I’ll also be watching/recording The Irishman, Survivor, and Almost Family.
