Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race, hosted by Tyler Florence is back for season 3, and will premiere Sunday August 19th at 10PM ET/PT. The race this season begins at a lighthouse in Long Beach, CA and ends at another lighthouse in Maine. But here's the twist - none of these local eateries have food trucks yet, they're all aspiring food truck owners and only the winner will be awarded with the cash to make their dreams a reality. The list of aspiring truck-testants (with a heavy LA contingent) has also been announced - check them out below:

• Barbie Babes (Los Angeles, CA)
• Coast of Atlanta (Atlanta, GA)
• Momma's Grizzly Grub (Wasilla, Alaska)
• Nonna's Kitchenette (Parsippany/West Caldwell, NJ)
• Pizza Mike's (Columbus, OH)
• Pop-A-Waffle (Los Angeles, CA)
• Seoul Sausage (Los Angeles, CA)
• Under the Crust (San Diego, CA)
