Look out, ostrich eggs! Here they come!
A little birdie told me about the 'Easter egg hunt'. Well, I'll admit; it was the Food Network website. It sounds like we're in for a lot of fun. The trucks are in Santa Barbara tonight in Wine Country. Also home of ostrich land USA. Those big birds give me the heebee jeebies. You couldn't bribe me with enough money to go into an ostrich pen.
The team who found the most eggs was Sweet Southern Soul. Poor Grill Cheese All Stars. They're as bad as I used to be with I Spy in 2nd grade. The mom in Carretto Sicialiano left her shoe behind - her good son went back and got it for her.
Look out Grilled Cheese All Stars, Carretto Siciliano is making an Italian grilled cheese! Uh-oh, Tyler has another challenge - all teams must use the ostrich eggs they found on the hunt! Grilled Cheese All Stars are making green eggs and ham. Sweet Southern Soul felt like cave women trying to crack the ostrich eggs. Phone database wisdom: one ostrich egg = 24 eggs.
The Cheese Twins' truck was swamped - lots of customers, but hectic. They got out with the line of customers and did the wave. Lei-Away Leidies had a huge line, 'got their butts kicked' and enjoyed every minute of it! Carretto Siciliano raised their prices and offered a selfie with reality show star Vinny to make up for it.
Day two, Tyler called with the last minute challenge: to make what Vinny called an 'Abelschitzenhauser thing'. They had to make a Danish doughnut in a pan that looked cross between a muffin pan and a frying pan. Sweet Southern Soul used it for cornbread. And Ooooooo, they had a line, baby! Vinny used the pan to make meatballs, naturally. The ebelskiver pan was the curse of the Lei-Away Leidies's food truck. Lei-Away entertained the crowd until they ran out of jokes, but powered through. Tyler asked how things were panning out. Hardy har har!
Who has immunity? Carretto Siciliano with their meatballs. This made Mama Paola cry. And in number one place, is: Carretto Siciliano; Lei-Away Leidies took second place; and Grilled Cheese All Stars took third and a sweet good bye to Sweet Southern Soul!
Next stop, Palm Springs, California! Come along!
