Ragin Cajun in 'Great Food Truck Race'

Ragin Cajun restaurant, which relocates this year, could earn $50,000 as the winner of a new Food Network reality television series.

Steve Domingue, owner of restaurant Ragin Cajun, has called this summer "surreal."

The restaurateur was approached in March to be on a Food Network television show that follows seven competitors as they take their food trucks on a six-week road trip from Los Angeles to New York, stopping along the way to serve as many patrons as possible.

Domingue quickly put his restaurant on wheels and entered "The Great Food Truck Race (with Tyler Florence)" for a chance to win $50,000, even though his restaurant is in the middle of closing its Pier Avenue location and planning to reopen elsewhere in the South Bay.

Other food trucks in the race are Grill 'Em All and the Nom Nom Truck from Los Angeles, Nana Queens from Culver City, Spencer on the Go from San Francisco, Crepes Bonaparte from Fullerton, and Austin Daily Press from Texas.

The new television series will premiere at 10 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 15, along with Domingue's home-style Cajun food truck.
