Slider bribery
August 30, 2010 - 3:22 pm
Cast a vote, eat a burger. It's that easy.
The folks at the Food Network are asking viewers to vote for their favorite food truck and a Las Vegas entrant is offering its fans a free burger for their loyalty. Don't worry, it's all on the up-and-up, as fans of food trucks across the country are rallying diners to promote their favorite meal on wheels.
Slidin Thru, a food truck that dishes up miniature gourmet burgers for lunch and dinner at locations across the Las Vegas Valley is so far in fourth place out of 271 trucks entered in the contest.
To vote, send the text message "FT64" to 66789. To get your free slider, bring your phone to the Slidin Thru window and show proof that you voted in the contest.

The truck with the most votes will win $10,000 and get a chance to appear on season two of “The Great Food Truck Race” on the Food Network.
You can also vote up to 10 times daily on the Web at:

By the way, anyone from Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit or Columbus, Ohio, knows the only "real" sliders are from White Castle. No, they don't have a truck in this race.
