Win Tickets to the Ultimate Food Truck Battle With Shaggy and Sean Kingston

Will Ms. Cheezious take the title?

Miami loves its food trucks. Whether we catch one on the side of the road for a lunchtime snack or head to a roundup to eat our way through several dozen offerings, we're sweet on all the goodness coming from those mobile munch units.

But which truck is the best in all of our fair city?

That's the question Magic City Casino will answer this Saturday, January 5, at 7 p.m., when eight food trucks will battle for the title of Ultimate Food Truck.

The trucks, which were chosen through public voting on the Ultimate Miami website in late 2012, will be tasked with cooking for a panel of judges, who will determine the winner. The trucks, which will also serve food to Ultimate Food Truck guests, are as follows:

After the competition, a live concert featuring Sean Kingston and Shaggy will begin at 9 p.m. It requires an additional ticket.

General admission tickets for the Ultimate Miami Food Truck competition cost $40, which includes two food items from your choice of trucks, a nonalcoholic beverage, and 25 percent off additional items from each food truck.

Special VIP packages are $75 and include entrance to the Ultimate Miami Food Truck competition (along with the above-mentioned food and drink tickets) and reserved seating at the concert. Tickets are available here.

Because we know how much you love their food trucks and music, Short Order is giving away five pairs of VIP tickets -- which gets you tickets to both the competition and concert! Just "friend" Short Order on Facebook and post which food truck you think will win and why. The best five answers posted by noon tomorrow will win the tickets. Winners will be notified via Facebook and email and will have to pick up the tickets at our offices by 5 p.m. Friday, January 4.

My money is on CubanCube. Between their Tostone and Vaca Frita sandwich to their steamed Asian buns stuffed with pork, this truck has the perfect blend of gourmet and traditional Cuban food. Also, THE BEST CROQUETTAS IN THE WORLD.

Ms Cheezious will win, because after one bacon 'n blue you'll need a cold shower and a pack of cigarettes. Life changing.

Allison Little Cosens

I vote for BC Tacos! Brett always finds a great new twist on a traditional hand held food. Loved his Thanksgiving Taco (sounds gross, but was amazing)! The customer service is wonderful. Definitely makes everyone feel important, not just one of the masses.

Thomas Risavy

Party Palate will win. The reason they win? Because.

Juan G. Ruiz

Ms. Cheezious is redunkulous! Best grilled cheese on planet earth.

Nicole Marie

I'll add to the Ms. Cheezious bandwagon for their kitschy awesome name and amazing take on a simple home classic and making it bombastic!!

Tony Paredes

Ms Cheesious ROCKS the Cheese!!!!

Arlene Linares

Ms. Cheezious definitely! I wasn't a big fan of bacon (I know, I'm a huge weirdo) or blue cheese until I had their Bacon & Blue sandwich. The Prosciutto and Goat Cheese is to die for and those sweet potato fries are perfection. Close your eyes, point at the menu, and you'll order something delicious. Plus, their employees are super nice and probably know my face by now. There's definitely a reason they constantly win awards! Hope I get to go on Saturday and pick one up!

Ariella Gutman

Che Grill because Argentinean's do it the best and a Lomito sandwich or choripan beat any boring grilled cheese or taco :)

Laura Kramarz

Ms. Cheezious- because who can turn down a toasty grilled cheese?!

Phoebe Pinheiro

CubanCube ALL THE WAY! CubanCube has tantalized and delighted my taste buds every time I return to their truck. With their AWWE-AMAZING display of culinary genius at last years SOBEWFF Trucks on the beach, there is no way they shouldn't be able to bring home this win.
