MasterChef 3: Food Trucks and Tortellini
All throughout my season, we kept waiting for the food truck challenge. Food trucks were all the rage throughout the country last year, and we just KNEW we’d have a food truck challenge.

It’s a team challenge with Tracy and Giuseppe as team leads. I couldn’t be more conflicted about whose team I want…
