The Great Food Truck Race Season 3 with Seoul Sausage

The Great Food Truck Race Season 3 with Seoul Sausage

Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race returns for a third season this summer with host Tyler Florence presiding over the cross-country culinary road trip with a brand-new twist: no longer a competition between current food truck operators as in prior seasons, this high-stakes battle is between eight teams who desperately want to be in the food truck business – they have a dream, a concept and insane culinary skills. Each three-person team is provided a vehicle for the race, but only the grand prize winner gets to keep their food truck and a $50,000 cash prize to start their dream business. From mobile mini-pies and authentic Aussie grub to specialty waffles, each team’s inspired cuisine and road strategy is put to the test in city-specific challenges that begin at a Long Beach, Calif. lighthouse and continue through the finale at the West Quoddy Lighthouse in Maine, the easternmost point of the United States. The seven-episode series premieres on Sunday, August 19, 2012 at 10pm.

In the season premiere, the eight teams of aspiring food truck owners arrive in Long Beach and are welcomed by host Tyler Florence, and he presents them with the food trucks of their dreams and matching cars. The teams are then sent directly to the toughest, most cutthroat place in the food truck universe, the place where it all started: Los Angeles. These rookies learn quickly that running a food truck is much harder than it looks, and the seven surviving teams realize that they are in for the ride of their lives. From the west coast starting point, the route then takes the teams to Flagstaff, Ariz.; Amarillo, Texas; Fayetteville, Ark.; Nashville and Cleveland – leading up to a final tri-city New England battle from Boston to Portland and Lubec, Maine.

The sole Asian American team is Seoul Sausage comprised of first-generation Korean Americans Yong, Chris and Ted selling signature Korean-style sausages. The guys, who have known each other since they were young, want to prove to their parents that they can build successful careers out of their culinary passion. Though it boasts a global menu, Seoul Sausage specializes in Korean-style sausages. They want to make sausage not war.

The join fellow Asian American food trucks from past seasons in the competition: Nom Nom and Korilla BBQ

Identity with Jeremy Lin

Identity with Jeremy Lin

Are you ready to see the potential return of Linsanity to the Houston Rockets? Someone created a montage about Jeremy Lin’s inspirational journey with the 2011-2012 New York Knicks set to a speeches from Coach Carter, Raven’s Ray Lewis, and Rocky Balboa as well as critics about his game.

After going unrecruited for college, undrafted in the NBA, and waived multiple times, Lin was finally given his chance to shine against the New Jersey Nets on 2/4/12, in the midst of an 8-15 record and fading playoff hopes. Up to this life-changing moment, it seemed that the only constant in Lin’s shaky, lifelong struggle to prove himself was his perseverance and refusal to back down, no matter how many times he was told that he was not good enough.

Jeremy often credits his breakout with the New York Knicks to him finally discovering his identity through Christ. After years of seeking the approval of scouts and coaches, Lin finally realized that he was not playing basketball to impress others, but rather to glorify God. Only then was he able to achieve his full potential, transcend boundaries, and inspire millions of athletes, Asian-Americans, and Christians everywhere.

Each one of us has our unique God-given potential, but it is our job to go out and achieve it. Our dreams will probably be scoffed at, our efforts will at times appear to be in vain, but like Jeremy did before “Linsanity,” we have to get back up every single time we are knocked down. We all have the power to change the world for the better, as long as we truly believe that we can.

“It’s a miracle from God, that’s the way I would describe it.”
-Jeremy Lin
