The Great Food Truck Race

Host Tyler Florence shakes things up in Lake Charles, Louisiana, when he tells the teams to plunder one another's food trucks for a challenge judged by a band of hungry foodie pirates. Then in Biloxi, Mississippi, sales are booming, but none of the teams are prepared for the backlash when they're reprimanded for price gouging.

Tyler Florence sends the eight teams into Galveston, Texas, where baseball all-star Justin Turner judges a Ballpark Bites challenge and awards one of the biggest cash prizes in The Great Food Truck Race's history. The Stars and Stripes squad loyalties are pushed to their limits as they face huge crowds, struggle to outsell one another and confront tough challenges on the Gulf Coast.

Host Tyler Florence welcomes nine food trucks to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, where their epic nine-city road trip for $50,000 across America's Gulf Coast begins. These first-time food truck teams face daunting challenges in the hopes of reaping unprecedented rewards, including award medals that have carryover value in the next city. Tyler groups the teams into squads who must scrap for sales in an all-out selling frenzy, and the bottom two teams must face a first time ever shocker of an elimination.
