New Orleans, Lake Charles and now Biloxi. Is the Great Food Truck Race veering our way?

On the Food Network competition show, culinary teams are given a food truck to operate as they venture from stop to stop. The teams are given challenges and compete to make it to the next week. The last truck standing wins a life-changing cash prize. The show is hosted by Tyler Florence, award-winning chef,
restauranteur and Food Network personality.

Social media followers of Florence may have noticed he has been in our region. Florence has posted videos of the crowds lined up at the competing food trucks in Louisiana. On Wednesday, they were in Biloxi filming at The Shed.

Then, on Friday, Feb. 9, Florence stopped in Fairhope to visit his old friend 'Panini' Pete Blohme at Sunset Pointe at Fly Creek Marnina. Florence posed for photos with Blohme, Nick DiMario and the some of staff. DiMario and Blohme posted the photos to social media.

Sunday, Blohme and Florence posted photos to social media showing them filming scenes for the Great Food Truck Race in Mardi Gras Park in downtown Mobile.

This wouldn't be the first time the show visited the Alabama Gulf Coast. Season five, which aired in 2014, was filmed in downtown Mobile. "Panini" Pete Blohme was featured on the Mobile episode where three teams set up downtown. The lines were massive, and the air was electric. Some crazy fans (including yours truly) stood in line for two hours just to sample food from just one truck on the show.

Keep an eye out for the food trucks. You never know where they will pop up next.
