The Food Network wants your help selecting the next gang of roving restaurateurs to follow around on The Great Food Truck Race.

That is, assuming you are down with throwing your support behind food you’ll probably never taste.

Windy City Red Hots is the ONLY NoVA food truck that made it through to the round of public voting, where it must now compete with the 271 other contenders for the $10k cash prize and a shot at appearing on season 2 of the mobile vending-marathon.

A handful of other D.C.-Metro meal slingers–D.C. Slices (which is erroneously tethered to Alexandria, even though they’ve yet to serve even a slice on this side of the Potomac), Sauca, Fojol Bros. and Pedro & Vinny’s all got the nod–are also in the hunt.

Best of luck to Angel and Pia Miranda and their Chicago-style grub.

But methinks the Food Network could have picked up some other local superstars if they’d only done their homework…
