New York – August 22, 2014 /  Four talented teams compete to make their culinary dreams come true by winning their very own customized food truck for a year on new series Food Truck Face Off, premiering Thursday, October 2^nd at 8:00pm ET/PT on Food Network. On each of the 13 episodes, hosted by Jesse Palmer, four teams present their unique food truck concepts to an expert panel of judges. Based on the viability and quality of their ideas, two teams will be selected to face off in an intense two–day showdown. The team with the highest profits will drive away with the grand prize!

“With the popularity of food truck fare, and after five successful seasons of The Great Food Truck Race, the food truck industry continues to draw passionate food entrepreneurs,” said Bob Tuschman, General Manager and Senior Vice President Programming, Food Network. “Food Truck Face Off provides the opportunity for aspiring food truck owners to realize their dreams in a heart-pounding culinary competition that tests every skill needed to succeed, including creativity, business savvy and, of course, culinary skills.”
Throughout the season, the four teams must impress radio and television personality Steak Shapiro and restaurateur Alpana Singh (The Boarding House), as well as a rotating panel of guest judges including, Andrew Gruel (Slapfish Restaurant), Robyn Almodovar (Palate Party) and Zane Caplansky (Caplansky’s Deli and Thunderin’ Thelma), with their food truck concepts. Then, the two remaining teams must put their ideas to the test on the streets of North America. On the first day, it is truck-against–truck. The team with the tastiest food, best service and most pleasing presentation is awarded a critical special advantage during the final round. On the last day, the competition fuels up as the trucks must face off not only against each other, but against other local food trucks. The team with the highest profits at the end of the two days will be crowned winner, and will drive away with their own food truck for one full year!

Italian Food Porn

Sara Preceruti was only 27 years old when he became head chef of La locanda del Notaio . It has been two years in addition to maintaining a Michelin star, won in 2011, the chef has received recognition as Best Chef Woman S. Pellegrino and Acqua Panna Guide Identity Greedy. What is the secret of the restaurant, nestled in the woods between Como and Lugano?
The best dishes of the chef, by his own admission, are the desserts. Beautiful and sinful, as the Crème brûlée with hazelnut on jelly and ice cream with rum or coffee unsweetened cocoa Cannoli stuffed with yoghurt mousse with cherries and mint soup. While it is an appetizer, although the appearance can be deceiving, the Cannoli stuffed with salty Zincarlin with pear jam.
An ingredient that can not miss in her kitchen is the fish of the sea. The protagonist in the croaker steak smothered in Bagna Cauda of the Stracciatella mozzarella and basil salad with red onions and chili or squid stuffed with ham Langhirano on cream with black squid ink and a salad of broad beans and mint.

The chef is not afraid to be daring with surprising combinations and unexpected combinations. It's really all about the taste of surprise in dishes such as noodles flavored with licorice, smoked whitefish and fresh fava beans with cream of burrata or risotto with pesto alla Trapanese on carpaccio of oxtail and candied lemon.
