About The Food Truck
The Food Truck ended on September 1, 2013, on TVNZ 1. The show concluded after its third season, which aired from June 9, 2013, to September 1, 2013.
The Food Truck was a series that combined elements of a cooking show and a factual series about the fast-paced, competitive world of fast food. It followed Michael Van De Elzen, owner and head chef of Molten Restaurant and Liquid Molten Bar in Mt Eden, Auckland, as he attempted to create healthy, restaurant-quality alternatives to New Zealand fast food favorites from a 1970 Bedford truck. The series showcased his efforts to develop healthier versions of popular takeaways, such as fish and chips, hamburgers, pizzas, and pies, often working within the limited space of his mobile kitchen. The show culminated in events or gatherings where Michael tested whether people would choose his healthier options when given the opportunity, providing insights into consumer preferences.
Michael Van De Elzen was the sole cast member, serving as both host and chef. The show’s episodes typically ran for 30 minutes. As the series has ended, there are no upcoming episodes or seasons scheduled.
