One Salt Lake City food truck owner will get a $10,000 tip from chef, writer and TV personality Andrew Zimmern on Oct. 3, when the show “Big Food Truck Tip” airs on the Food Network.
Will the cash go to The Salty Pineapple, a Hawaiian lunch plate truck that serves Kalua pig, garlic chicken and a hand-mashed fruit drink called o’tai?
Maybe the lucky winner will be Havana Eats, whose owner uses family recipes to make Cuban-inspired dishes such as pressed sandwiches called picadillo empanaditas.
There’s also Nella, one of the state’s newest food trucks. Constructed from a shipping container and equipped with an enormous wood-fired pizza oven, it cooks pizzas in 60 seconds.
