Tonight, 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.

On 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.

Don’t miss the start of the winter fun tonight on Food Network at 10/9c.

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

I’m excited because tonight is the season premiere of The Great Food Truck Race, and this season, they’re heading into the Wild West – or rather, the Southwest. Last season they headed south and spent time in Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, & more. This season, they’ll start off in Los Angeles before traveling to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Yuma, Coachella Valley (where, yes, Coachella takes place), and more. Tyler Florence once again hosts as seven teams battle it out to win the $50,000 prize.

On tonight’s episode, “Wagons Ho!” Tyler kicks off the race at a cattle ranch outside of Los Angeles, where he welcomes the seven teams with their first challenge. Each team must hand-squeeze a pitcher of orange juice in order to receive their seed money and keys to their truck. The trucks then head out to shop and prep for their first day selling on the busy streets of Los Angeles. The team that sells the least is sent home, while the other six head to the next city.

Find out who advances and who goes home tonight on Food Network at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Match Game, Trial & Error, Beat Bobby Flay, & Take Two.
