Forgot to say props to the French guys for passing along their contact(s) to Grill 'Em Up. That really showed who was best liked among the teams who got to know one another better than we did -

Or that they were simply helping out the underdogs. Nom Nom already proved they could establish contacts in other cities. Grill 'Em All never figured that part out. Until the end.

It's interesting to see the mention of not calling ahead. As a business owner and someone who would like to set up a truck, I enjoyed the advanced marketing and business aspect of calling ahead. I hope that stays in the next round.

I don't see how NOT calling ahead could be enforced! Sorry, I got "Grill "Em All" confused with "Burger Up," a local eatery! Costa - Meat and grease are a way of life in the south! We even had fried okra and fried pickles! However, I live within a block or two of both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, so I am a fairly healthy eater myself -

Tn, I think it's A Very Good Thing that I don't live in the south! The look of their food as they were prepping and cooking... <shudder> And here I always thought grilling food would be better for you. That ain't grilling, peeps. That's basically frying on a flat-top.

{{{Costa!}}} Even though I live in the land of grease, gravy, and grits, we have huge numbers of Asian and other healthier options! Because of genetic cholesterol issues I only have animal protein three times a week, so I am glad that I live in an area where alternatives are easily available -

I'm glad you don't have to have greasy burgers every meal. I dunno how people can eat like that! I do know you have lots of options (haven't we talked about this in other threads? LOL!), and THAT is A Very Good Thing! Besides, isn't it fun to experiment?

Truthfully I didn't care of any of these contestants but I liked the concept of the show. If there is a next time, I'll watch again. I wanted so badly to taste all the foods that were being cooked. I haven't seen any food trucks in my area (Chicagoland)except taco carts or portable hot dog stands. There is a breakfast truck that I see every once in a while that serves coffee and pastries/bagels. I have to give props to Nom Nom for that stretch of wins even though I didn't care for their personalities.

If anyone is near Sherman Oaks tonight, the Nom Nom truck will be there (assuming they can get there cuz the 405 is currently a parking lot). They are assuming an ETA of 7pm near the guitar center in Sherman Oaks.

The way I feel about fried, greasy, cheesy food is that it is something I like to eat once in a while, but don't all the time. I love fried food, I love greasy food, and I especially love cheesy food. The problem is that they don't love me. My mother used to say about these kinds of food, in the mouth one minute, in the stomach one day, and on your hips the rest of your life.

When you're a vegetarian and don't eat "fried, greasy, cheesy food," it doesn't stay in you long enough to hit your hips. If you catch my drift!

Vegetarian's can't eat fried greasy, cheesy foods? You could use vegetable oil and there are plenty of things to fry other than meat. Like potatoes, okra, Snicker's bars.

No. I don't eat greasy foods, period. It's rare I eat fries. And I don't consider Snickers to be "fried, greasy, cheesy" (and you'll NEVER catch me eating any deep fried Snickers ever!). Most vegetarians don't eat greasy fried foods, as a general rule. Part of the reason some people are vegetarians are because it's a healthier lifestyle. Fried, greasy, cheesy things sorta negate that healthy lifestyle, yes? And at any rate, vegetarian or not, if you don't eat that kind of stuff, it's not gonna stick around inside you long enough to add weight to yer hips.

Those are adorable looking. Don't know about eating them.
