My pals at Food Network's Eat Street are giving the opportunity for North American exposure to all those unsung food trucks out there, via their TV show. They've already got submissions from food truck vendors across the continent, including a few Canadians, and are now looking to viewers to help them pick five winners. I'll let them tell you more about it.
If you're in Ontario, you can keep up to date with all the food truck happenings, including any legislation progress and special events, through Ontario Food Trucks (Facebook | Twitter).
UPDATE: January 5, 2012 - Eight new truck videos have been added to the fray! Be sure to check out the updated list below and take a look at the new entries.
Over the last few months, food truck operators across North America have been busy submitting their videos to the Eat St. contest, telling us why they think they should be the next truck featured on the show. We've received touching, hilarious and informative submissions from across Canada and the US and now it's time for food truck lovers and foodies to show their favourite cart some support by voting for their favourite video!
THE PRIZE
So, what will your support mean for a lucky, hard working food cart vendor? The winning video may appear on TV and/or on the Eat St. website and will be given to the winner to use and distribute as they please (think: free professional video for advertising purposes!). The five videos with the highest number of votes from fans will win the Fan Favourite award and will be eligible to win the grand prize – an Eat St. segment starring their cart!
VOTING
Eat St. fans cast your votes from Jan. 5 to Jan. 31, 2012 for the vendor you would most like to see on the television show. You can vote once per day! Just be sure to register for an account on the contest website in order to cast your vote (this ensures your privacy and eliminates spam). Voting opens on January 5th, 2012 at 1pm (PT)/ 4pm (ET). In the meantime, you can check out the awesome videos submitted and register to vote.
