If you're a fan of "The Amazing Race," but wish it had more food on it, tune in to "The Great Food Truck Race," (Food Network, 10 tonight).

OK, we talking people in trucks, so you won't get to see exotic locales; instead the vistas are of the good old USA. There is, however, an international flair to some of the food.

The premise is this: seven food trucks, serving varied cuisines, must head to undisclosed locations, figure out the best places to park, and sell their food. The truck that makes the least amount of money each week gets eliminated. The teams can't use social media to spread the word (as most food trucks do), but they can use their cell phones to work connections. The winner gets $50,000.

Food TV fans, here's your chance to catch some of the network's top stars live in action at the Durham Performing Arts Center. The celebrity chefs will offer cooking demonstrations, share personal stories, and will be available for Q & A sessions with the audience.  

Here's the schedule:

Paula Deen and Family: February 21 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Tyler Florence: March 26 at 8 p.m.

The Neelys: April 17 at 8 p.m.

Tickets, which start at $30, go on sale Monday, January 11 at 10 a.m. You can buy them online at www.dpacnc.com, by phone at 680-2787, or through Ticketmaster.
