The Great Food Truck Race Season 1

In the series premiere, seven gourmet food trucks arrive in San Diego, where the teams will compete to see who can make the most money. The losing truck returns home, while the rest continue on their cross-country quest for $50,000. Tyler Florence hosts.

The six remaining teams arrive in Santa Fe, N.M., and they're greeted by a snowstorm, which complicates the challenge.

The trucks head to Fort Worth, where the teams will have to carve a challenging cut of meat and incorporate it into their menus.

The four remaining teams make their way to New Orleans, where surprise catfish cook-off awaits them.

The food trucks head to Jonesborough, Tenn., a small town with only 5000 residents (aka potential customers). Later, they're challenged to cook a five-course meal in the style of a pioneer-era chuck wagon.

Season 1 concludes as the two remaining trucks arrive in New York City and the teams race to find customers in all five boroughs. Then, in the final cooking challenge, each team must prepare the other's signature dish before the $50,000 grand prize is awarded to the winners.
