A comprehensive look into the successes and struggles of the quintessential 21st century American small business venture — Food Trucks. Backstreet to the American Dream features two vastly different operations in the same city: Grill ‘Em All, the prestigious first-season winner of The Great Food Truck Race on The Food Network, and El Pescadito, a Mexican seafood lonchera that’s been parking in the same immigrant neighborhood since 1982. Their distinct stories explore Los Angeles’ legacy of systemic racism and illuminate the vast interpretations of the modern American Dream.

 

 

 

 

“Una mirada completa a los éxitos y las luchas de la pequeña empresa estadounidense por excelencia del siglo XXI: Food Trucks. El Callejón al Sueño Americano presenta dos operaciones muy distintas en la misma ciudad: Grill ‘Em All, el prestigioso ganador de la primera temporada de La Gran Carrera en 2010 en The Food Network, y El Pescadito, una lonchera mexicana de mariscos que ha estado estacionando en el mismo vecindario de inmigrantes desde 1982. Sus distintas historias exploran el legado de racismo sistémico de Los Ángeles e iluminan las vastas interpretaciones del Sueño Americano moderno.”
