Food trucks have come into their own these last few years. No longer are they the ignoble "roach coach" of yesteryear, but gourmet mobile dining establishments. LIVE! with Kelly and Michael is noticing that fact and they are on a nation-wide hunt to find ten food trucks worthy of national recognition on "LIVE'S! Truckin' Amazing Cook-Off."

Much like our own Readers' Choice Poll (reminder, you only have until May 29 to vote, so get on that!), LIVE! is crowdsourcing their winners. After an initial round of voting they have narrowed the entires down to 20 finalists and Florida is representing with not one but two local trucks; our own B.C. Tacos Food Truck and Miami-based Ms. Cheezious.

PETA
Colleen from Cuyahoga Falls is one of the sexy vegan contestants.
We consistently have to give PETA credit for its brilliant marketing strategies.

To make their point, they'll use any trick in the advertising playbook -- including sex, sex, and more sex.

Take, for example, their Sexiest Vegan Next Door contest, which seeks out the hottest vegan with the best bod. And, as with every year, they're looking for entrants.

Passover Cooking Contest at Josef's Table

Flourless Chocolate Tart.jpg
A flourless chocolate tarte - no chametz here! L'chaim!

The heart and soul of Jewish cooking is, as every child of Abraham knows, a mother's cooking. OK, technically, sometimes it's Grandma's cooking or an aunt's, but Jewish women are the ones who traditionally come together and prepare comforting food for high holidays or the weekly Sabbat.

Passover, or Pesach, is the feast of unleavened bread, and the highlight of this Jewish holiday is seder dinner, which takes place the first two nights. 

Nowadays, many people go out to nice restaurants that offer traditional seder menus, and Josef's Table in Boca Raton is one such restaurant. In addition, the restaurant is offering a little traditional home cooking in the form of a contest.

If you're wondering what to do this coming Saturday evening, but you've got no money after paying your bills, there are a few options.

You could dive for couch change and go out for a burger (fun factor about a five); you could go out to the Everglades and hunt pythons (fun factor about a zero) -- or you could take a friend to a swanky cocktail and food event for free (fun factor about a million).

Clean Plate Charlie has a pair of tickets to the JA World Uncorked event  to give away to a lucky reader (value $300).
