Smart List: Food Network hits the gas with ‘Great Food Truck Race’

Get your motor running and talk about “The Great Food Truck Race.”

Now there’s a series for the mobile-hearted! Food Network’s Tyler Florence hosts as seven teams of the country’s best food truck cooks hit the road to see who can sell the most food in the challenge city. The team who wins the challenge makes it to the next episode; the losers, um, drive home. At stake is a $50,000 grand prize. That sure could buy a lot of gas. (Sunday)

Because you’re probably still talking about “Lost” …

Get ready to flashback and sideways. Pick up the final season of the addictive drama when it’s released on DVD and relive the satisfying (to some) conclusion. If things on the island get too intense, you can always opt out and watch the bloopers. That Locke can be quite the jokester. (Tuesday)

Since she’s all anyone’s talking about …

Fantasia Barrino made headlines after splitting with her married ex-boyfriend and overdosing on aspirin and sleeping pills. Now the “American Idol” alum is taking it back to what she knows best: music. The songstress’ third album “Back to Me” — her first in nearly four years after touring with “The Color Purple” — hits stores. (Tuesday)

Feeling blue? Talk about “Avatar.”

It’s time to brush up on the Na’vi language. James Cameron’s blue-popping sci-fi action epic returns to the big screen with nine minutes of never-before-seen footage — because the film just wasn’t long enough before. Tewti! (wow!). (Friday)

If you’re in a devilish mood, talk about “The Last Exorcism.”

Don’t worry, Linda Blair isn’t back with a head-turning performance. In the upcoming horror film, religious skepticism and religious extremism collide. A fraudulent exorcist sets out to perform his last “exorcism” on a farmer’s daughter but finds his faith tested when he’s confronted with the devil. (Friday)
