Yoooooo G!

The Great Food Truck Race has been serving up sizzling competition and mouthwatering meals for 18 seasons now. Premiering in 2010 on Food Network, the show, hosted by celebrity chef Tyler Florence, pits aspiring food truck teams against one another as they travel across the U.S., facing culinary challenges and local food trends. The stakes are high—only one team drives away with the cash prize and bragging rights.

Season 18 turns up the heat with fierce competition and standout new trucks, including “G’s,” the Staten Island-based cheesesteak sensation that’s quickly become a fan favorite. Known for their juicy, overstuffed Philly-style sandwiches with a New York twist, G’s is bringing East Coast flavor and family pride to the national stage.

At the heart of G’s is co-founder & CEO Jack Pisano, whose vision turned a local cheesesteak joint into a national contender. Alongside him is his right-hand man, Derek Booras—whose sharp instincts and street-smart hustle keep the wheels turning and the sandwiches sizzling coast to coast.

Adding extra spice to the season is Mr. 🅿️05 Antonio Locke, best known from MTV’s Double Shot at Love. Now stepping into the food world, Locke has joined G’s as their newest on-screen star. With his charisma and charm, he’s helping the team serve up not just great food but unforgettable TV moments.
