La guerre des popotes roulantes

Tyler Florence welcomes eight new teams of aspiring food truck owners to Santa Barbara, CA, where they must define their brands and create a signature dish.

Tyler greets the teams in Tucson, AZ, where they must come up with a creative marketing campaign. Later, they must put their twists on a local hot dog favorite, with the top sellers winning bonus cash.

Tyler tests each team on their partnership skills in Austin, TX. The teams are first paired up to sell together all weekend long and are then sent for a Match.com event, feeding the hungriest singles in Austin.

Tyler meets the teams in Oklahoma City, where he tests their time management skills, penalizing the team who takes the longest to get their day started.

When the final four teams hit the streets of St. Louis, Tyler is there to give them a challenge illustrating how a premium product is as good as money in the bank.

The three remaining teams roll into Mobile, AL, where Tyler challenges them to cook locally. After enduring sub-zero temperatures, one team walks away with nearly 100 pounds of fresh gulf shrimp free of charge.

Tyler lays down the final gauntlet. The teams revisit each of the six lessons learned throughout the race, on an epic road trip from Tampa to Key West. In the "Conch Republic," the final two must sell on Duvall Street.
