Granny’s Fish ‘N Grits, a popular family-owned food truck in Birmingham, was featured on the premier of Andrew Zimmern’s new Food Network show “Big Food Truck Tip” on Wednesday and won a $10,000 “tip” to help grow their business.
In a viral video clip posted on Facebook, you can see the emotional moment when the truck’s owners are surprised with the valuable prize.
“You didn’t clean out the tip jar last night,” Zimmern quipped.
The celebrity chef and host then pulled out a $10,000 wad of cash from the truck’s tip jar, with the owners’ reactions showing the emotion of the moment.

“You guys take that and grow this thing,” Zimmern said after revealing the prize. “And get that coleslaw in every single supermarket in America, because that is magic. Congratulations.”
