PREVIOUSLY ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
SEVEN TEAMS OF CHEFS
AND THEIR TRUCKS
SET OUT ON THE CULINARY
ROAD RACE OF A LIFETIME
SET OUT ON THE CULINARY
ROAD RACE OF A LIFETIME
WITH $50,000 ON THE LINE.
FROM SUNNY SAN DIEGO
TO THE BIG EASY,
THEY'VE BATTLED FOR PARKING...
STOP, DAVID, STOP!
PUBLICITY AND PROFIT.
EACH WEEK,
ONE TEAM HAS MADE
THE LONG, LONELY DRIVE HOME.
LAST TO GO
WE'RE THE DETERMINED TEXANS
FROM AUSTIN DAILY PRESS.
BYE!
THE GRILL 'EM ALL TRUCK
IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
THE BURGER GUYS
FROM GRILL 'EM ALL
HAVE STRUGGLED
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
I GIVE UP, DUDE.
DON'T GIVE UP YET.
BUT FOR NOW
THEY'RE STILL IN THE RACE
- AND STILL BEST FRIENDS.
- BURGERS!
THE FRENCH CHEFS
OF SPENCER ON THE GO...
HAVE SURVIVED
ONLY BY WINNING
CRUCIAL TRUCK STOP
COOKING CHALLENGES.
WHO IS OUR $500 WINNER?
SPENCER ON THE GO.
AND YET AGAIN,
THE VIETNAMESE NOM NOM TRUCK
HAS PROVEN UNSTOPPABLE...
MMM!
NOM NOM TRUCK.
NOM NOM TRUCK. NOM NOM TRUCK.
NOM NOM TRUCK.
WITH FOUR UNBELIEVABLE WINS
IN A ROW.
NOW THE RACE COMES HERE TO TINY
JONESBOROUGH, TENNESSEE,
5,000 PEOPLE AND 3 FOOD TRUCKS.
WHO'S GOING HOME NEXT?
I'M TYLER FLORENCE,
AND THIS
IS "THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
LET'S GET ROLLIN'.
FOOD TRUCK ROAD TRIP!
FOOD TRUCK ROAD TRIP!
DUDE, IT'S CRAZY
TO GO FROM, LIKE,
- ONE OF THE CRAZIEST CITIES IN THE COUNTRY...
- YEAH.
AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
THAT'S AWESOME.
I'M NOT SURE
HOW SMALL‐TOWN AMERICA
IS GONNA RELATE
TO UPSCALE CUISINE.
NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE, I THINK,
IN JONESBOROUGH,
KNOW WHAT BáHN Mi IS.
I KNOW THEY CAN RELATE
TO BURGERS.
I THINK JUST, LIKE,
A REGULAR CHEESEBURGER
IS GONNA BE, LIKE,
OUR BIGGEST SELLER HERE.
THE ASIAN POPULATION HERE
IS .17 PERCENT.
DRIVING INTO JONESBOROUGH,
I'M FEELING NERVOUS.
THE ONLY ASIAN RESTAURANT
IN TOWN
IS CALLED
NO. 1 CHINESE RESTAURANT.
I DON'T KNOW
IF PEOPLE HAVE HEARD
OF BáHN Mi SANDWICHES EVER.
HOPEFULLY, WE'LL HAVE CURIOUS
PEOPLE COMING TO THE TRUCK.
WE REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHO WE'RE GONNA SELL TO.
IT'S GONNA BE
A REALLY TOUGH CHALLENGE
GETTING PEOPLE
TO TRY OUR FOOD.
THERE'S A LITTLE BISTRO.
THAT MIGHT BE AS CLOSE
AS YOU'RE GONNA GET
TO FRENCH AROUND HERE.
WHAT'S UP, TYLER?
BONSOIR, MONSIEUR.
HOW ARE YOU?
HOW ARE YOU?
WELCOME
TO JONESBOROUGH, TENNESSEE.
WE ARE SCREAMING TOWARDS
THE END OF THIS RACE,
WHERE 1 TEAM
WILL WIN $50,000.
WHOO! YEAH!
WHOO!
SO UP UNTIL NOW,
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SELLING
IN CITIES,
SOME BIGGER THAN OTHERS,
BUT ONE THING
THEY ALL HAD IN COMMON
WAS TOURISM, NIGHTLIFE,
AND SOME ACTION.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE,
JONESBOROUGH
IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
IT'S A QUAINT, CUTE TOWN
OF 5,000.
EVERY SALE YOU MAKE HERE
IS GOING TO COUNT.
SO I'M GIVING YOU
AN EXTRA 24 HOURS.
IN THREE DAYS, ONE TEAM
WILL BE OUT OF THE RACE.
YOU'VE ALL COME THIS FAR.
DON'T LET IT BE YOU.
I CAN'T IMAGINE US DRIVING BACK
AFTER ALL THIS.
WE JUST CAN'T DO IT.
GUYS, WE ARE STANDING
IN DOWNTOWN JONESBOROUGH.
THERE IS NO PLACE ELSE
TO SELL... REALLY.
THIS TOWN'S SO SMALL,
ALL THREE TRUCKS
ARE GONNA BE SELLING TOGETHER.
AND IT BECOMES MORE
OF A COMPETITION ABOUT FOOD
AND GETTING THE FOOD OUT
QUICKER.
JUST LIKE ALWAYS, YOU START OUT
WITH EMPTY TRUCKS‐‐TOTALLY EVEN.
HERE'S YOUR CASH
TO GET STARTED WITH.
I GOT $400 FOR ALL OF YOU.
OH, NICE.
THAT'S CHEATING.
FOOD TRUCKS,
ARE YOU READY?
- YEAH!
- WHOO!
LISTEN, MAKE SURE YOU
KEEP YOUR CELL PHONES ON.
I WILL BE CALLING YOU
SOMETIME THIS WEEKEND.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT
THE TRUCK STOP, OUR LITTLE TWIST
JUST TO MAKE SURE
YOU NEVER EVER RELAX.
YOUR TIME STARTS NOW.
GO, GO, GO.
GO, GO, GO.
THIS IS THE FIRST TOWN
WHERE WE'RE NOT EXCLUSIVE
WHATSOEVER.
LIKE, IT'S LIKE EVERYONE'S
GONNA BE SERVING SIDE BY SIDE.
THIS TOWN IS NOT BUILT
FOR FOOD TRUCKS.
I THINK WE'RE GONNA DO
PRETTY WELL HERE.
$400'S GONNA DO IT, MAN.
$400 IS MORE MONEY
THAN WE ACTUALLY NEED.
HELLO.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
HELLO.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I THINK I'VE GOT
EVERYTHING READY FOR YOU.
COLLARD GREENS HERE.
WHOO!
RIGHT, IT'S A GOOD
SOUTHERN RECIPE.
IT WOULD BE
MY GRANDMOTHER'S.
UH, THE SECRET
TO YOUR CORNBREAD,
IF YOU HAVE
A THICK‐WALLED PAN,
HEAT IT UP, GET IT‐‐GET IT
ALMOST TO THE SMOKING POINT
BEFORE YOU POUR IT IN.
IT'LL MAKE YOUR CRUST
VERY CRISPY ON YOUR CORNBREAD.
IN THE SMALL TOWN
OF JONESBOROUGH,
THERE'S REALLY ONLY
TWO OR THREE PLACES
WHERE YOU CAN
PURCHASE SUPPLIES.
WELL, THIS LOOKS
PRETTY BIG. THIS LOOKS GOOD.
AND IT'S REALLY JUST A RACE
TO SEE WHO CAN GET BACK
TO MAIN STREET AND START SERVING
AS QUICKLY AS THEY CAN.
I HEARD
THEY DON'T HAVE BAGUETTES,
BUT WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT WORK
WHATEVER WAY.
I CAN WORK WITH THIS. I'M GONNA
MAKE SOME ASIAN SLIDERS.
WE NEED FLOUR AND SUGAR
FOR THE GRAVY.
I KNOW THAT NOM NOM
AND SPENCER
ARE GONNA BE ON MAIN STREET
TONIGHT SELLING...
I'M GONNA GRAB CHEDDAR.
SO WE HAVE TO GET
ALL OF OUR GROCERY SHOPPING DONE
AND TRY TO OPEN UP
IN THE SAME TIME FRAME AS THEM.
AT THIS POINT, OPENING OUR GATES
LATE IS A DISADVANTAGE.
WE'RE A PREP‐HEAVY TRUCK.
IT TAKES US LONGER TO GET OPEN.
SO WE HAVE TO HUSTLE TODAY.
THOSE TACOS ARE GONNA
CRUSH GRILL 'EM ALL.
IS THAT IT?
STICKING WITH BREAD.
GOOD CALL.
HI. HEY, GUYS.
HOW ARE YOU?
YES.
IT'S FANTASTIC.
OH, WOW,
SPENCER'S IS ALREADY OPEN.
WE HAVE
COMPLETELY UNDERESTIMATED
THE JONESBOROUGH CROWD.
THE WHOLE TOWN IS SO EXCITED
TO HAVE US HERE.
CLEARLY, WORD IS GETTING OUT.
EVERYONE IS ON MAIN STREET.
IT'S A REALITY FOOD CHALLENGE
INVOLVING THREE FOOD TRUCKS.
EVERYONE'S WELCOME TO COME BY
AND TASTE THEIR DELICACIES.
OKAY, HOW MANY SLIDERS
WOULD YOU LIKE?
AND THEN NUMBER 85.
OH, MY GOD,
THEY'RE ALREADY HERE?
- NUMBER 93.
- IT'S A BUMMER TO SEE THAT THE OTHER TRUCKS
ARE ALREADY OPEN
AND SELLING.
I'M SURE THAT THEY'VE ALREADY
MADE A BUNCH OF MONEY
WHILE WE'VE BEEN RUNNING AROUND
TRYING TO GET ALL OF OUR FOOD.
I WONDER
IF NOM NOM WOULD MOVE
SO WE CAN JUST GET UP
RIGHT BEHIND THEM.
WE WON'T BE ABLE
TO OPEN OUR GATES.
OH, YEAH,
THERE'S THAT TREE.
IT JUST SUCKS BECAUSE WE'RE
GONNA BE, LIKE, SO FAR BEHIND.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE
AN AFTERTHOUGHT.
COMING UP ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
WE'RE READY
FOR SOME FRENCH COOKIN'.
MEET ME AT OLD MAN JOHNSON'S FARM.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GUYS A
YOU GUYS ARE GONNA PREPARE
A TRADITIONAL 5‐COURSE
- FRONTIER MEAL.
- HOLY COW.
- RIDICULOUS.
- WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT WORK.
MAYBE WE NEED
TO STOP THE LINE.
I REALLY DON'T WANT
TO GO HOME.
THERE'S A POLE RIGHT THERE.
IF WE PULL
FURTHER THIS WAY,
WE WON'T BE ABLE TO OPEN
THE GATES BECAUSE OF THIS.
THE OTHER TRUCKS
ARE ALREADY OPEN AND SELLING.
IT BREAKS MY HEART. WE GOT
A LOT OF CATCH‐UP TO DO.
IT BREAKS MY HEART. WE GOT
A LOT OF CATCH‐UP TO DO.
WE CAN OPEN RIGHT HERE.
THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM
TO OPEN RIGHT HERE.
THE NOMS AND SPENCER
HAVE REALLY GOOD SPOTS,
AND OUR ONLY OPTION
IS TO TAKE A REALLY
MEDIOCRE SPOT BEHIND NOM NOM.
WHAT WOULD THE CHANCES BE
OF OUR TRUCK PULLING AROUND
AND FILLING OUR GATES OPEN
SO IT'S, LIKE, RIGHT THERE?
IF YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR VEHICLE
OUT THAT WAY, THAT'S FINE.
OR IF YOU WANTED TO BRING IT
HERE, THAT'S FINE ALSO.
OH!
YOU GUYS, GRILL 'EM ALL'S
IN THE HOUSE.
"NO PARKING."
HA HA. WE TALKED
TO THE POLICE ALREADY.
YOU SEE THAT?
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.
WE'LL BE WITH YOU FOLKS
IN JUST ONE MOMENT.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO TAKE CARE
OF ALL OUR PREP WORK.
THEY SOUND SERIOUS
IN THERE.
THESE GUYS,
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT,
BUT THEY'RE JUST ABLE TO OPEN UP
SO QUICKLY,
AND WE'RE STUCK COOKING OFF
FRIES AND ALL THIS STUFF.
IT'S JUST SUCH A ROYAL PAIN.
ALL RIGHT, WE ALREADY GOT
A LINE IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK.
- THEN WE JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THE FOOD FOR THEM.
- ARE Y'ALL OPEN?
NOT QUITE YET. JUST, LIKE,
ANOTHER FIVE, TEN MINUTES.
ETHEL.
THIS IS OUR
HONEY‐GRILLED PORK.
IT'S OUR BEST SELLER AND THEN
THIS IS OUR GARLIC CHICKEN.
HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE
THAT SANDWICH‐‐B‐A‐H‐N?
BáHN Mi. BáHN Mi.
WHAT, THE "PAN‐MI"?
IS THAT WHAT IT IS? BON‐NI?
PAN‐NI‐‐
I DON'T KNOW.
IS THAT HOW YOU
PRONOUNCE IT, BáHN Mi?
BA‐NI? BáHN Mi.
IF YOU SAY SO.
WORD OF MOUTH JUST SPREADS
LIKE WILDFIRE IN THIS TOWN.
I MEAN, ONE PERSON
EATS A SANDWICH,
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THERE'S TEN PEOPLE IN LINE.
THIS MIGHT BE OUR BEST NIGHT
OUT OF EVERY OTHER
COMPETITION CITY.
GLAD TO SEE
YOU'RE BACK.
COME AND GET IT!
WE NEED 2 BEHEMOTHS.
$13.
BARNEY!
HEY, DAN.
THAT GRILL 'EM BURGER'S
SO GOOD,
IT'D MAKE A TADPOLE
SMACK A WHALE.
IT'S LOOKING
TO BE A GREAT NIGHT,
AND THEN 8:30 HITS,
AND IT IS DEAD.
COME OUT, COME OUT,
WHEREVER YOU ARE, TOWNSPEOPLE.
SUDDENLY, JUST EVERYONE
IS GONE.
IS THERE, LIKE,
A PART OF TOWN
THAT'S GOT SOME PEOPLE
WALKING AROUND?
THIS TOWN
JUST SHUTS DOWN EARLY, HUH? YEAH.
COME ON IN.
LET'S HAVE A DRINK.
SO I WASN'T KIDDING WHEN
I SAID THINGS GET PRETTY DEAD
AROUND HERE IN JONESBOROUGH
AT NIGHT.
I TOLD THE TEAMS THEY HAD TO
FIGHT FOR EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER,
BUT RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NOT EVEN
A SINGLE CUSTOMER TO BE HAD.
HEY, MISA, IT'S TYLER.
HI, TYLER.
HEY, TYLER.
HOW YOU DOING, BUDDY?
IT'S A LITTLE QUIET, HUH?
OH, WE'RE DEAD RIGHT NOW,
MY MAN.
IT'S REALLY SLOW,
YES, IT IS.
WHY ARE YOU CALLING US?
SO NOW YOU KNOW
THAT EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER
IN JONESBOROUGH'S PRECIOUS,
AND YOU'VE GOT TO FIGHT
FOR THEM.
Why don't you guys
call it a night.
IT SEEMS
THAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS. OKAY.
WE'RE GONNA
CALL IT A NIGHT.
MEET ME FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING
AT OLD MAN JOHNSON'S FARM.
It's down by the river.
You can't miss it.
I'll have a truck stop there
waiting for you.
OH, MY GOD.
FOR THE WINNING TEAM,
EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
TO LITERALLY THOUSANDS
OF HUNGRY CUSTOMERS.
HOLY COW.
OKAY, FOR THE WINNING TEAM,
THEY GET EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
TO THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS
TOMORROW NIGHT.
WIN, AND YOU'RE PRACTICALLY
GUARANTEED A SPOT
IN THE FINAL TWO.
- JESUS.
- All right, good night, guys.
OLD MAN JOHNSON'S FARM
DOWN BY THE RIVER.
LET'S LOOK IT UP
RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S THIS, LIKE, PIT
IN MY STOMACH.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE US DO.
I JUST HAVE THIS HORRIBLE,
HORRIBLE FEELING.
I DON'T WANT TO SKIN 700 POUNDS
OF CATFISH AGAIN!
YOU GOT THE PHONE CALL
ALREADY?
AND IF THE FRENCH GUYS WIN IT,
THAT MEANS IT'S JUST US
AND NOM NOM, AND, LIKE,
NOM NOM'S KILLING IT.
WE'RE DEFINITELY BEHIND
IN THE COMPETITION RIGHT NOW.
WE DIDN'T DO ANY BUSINESS
FOR A SOLID TWO HOURS.
WE HAVE TO WIN
THIS TRUCK STOP.
COME ON.
COME ON.
HOW ARE YOU?
HEY, GUYS. WELCOME
TO YOUR NEXT TRUCK STOP.
YOU MAY THINK THAT SERVING FOOD
FROM A TRUCK IS A NEW TREND.
WELL, YOU'D BE WRONG.
FOOD TRUCKS HAVE BEEN AROUND
SINCE DANIEL BOONE
RODE THROUGH THESE PARTS
MORE THAN 200 YEARS AGO.
BACK THEN, THE PIONEERS
CALLED THEM CHUCK WAGONS.
THEIR BASICALLY
THE GREAT‐GREAT‐GRANDPARENTS
OF YOUR
MODERN‐DAY FOOD TRUCKS.
TODAY, YOU GUYS ARE GETTING
IN TOUCH WITH YOUR ANCESTORS.
THERE'S A FIREPIT.
THERE'S CAST IRON EVERYWHERE.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
THIS CHUCK WAGON RIGHT HERE
IS FILLED
WITH PIONEER‐ERA SUPPLIES‐‐
CAST‐IRON SKILLETS,
FIREWOOD,
AND BASIC FRONTIER INGREDIENTS.
YOU GUYS ARE GONNA PREPARE
A TRADITIONAL
5‐COURSE FRONTIER MEAL.
WOW.
THAT MEANS BREAD, BEANS,
POTATOES, MEAT...
PLUS A DESSERT.
I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT TO DO.
I SEE ALL THESE THINGS
THAT I'M SO UNFAMILIAR WITH.
THIS IS ONE CHALLENGE WHERE
I WILL NOT BE HELPFUL AT ALL.
120 MINUTES FROM NOW,
YOUR DISHES WILL BE TASTED
AND JUDGED.
THE TEAM THAT MAKES THE BEST
EXECUTED 5‐COURSE MEAL
WINS A VERY SPECIAL PRIZE.
LATER TODAY,
THE NEXT TOWN OVER
THERE'S GONNA BE
A MASSIVE AUTO SHOW.
I'VE RESERVED ONE SPACE
FOR ONE TRUCK.
THE WINNING TEAM
GETS TO GO THERE
AND SELL TO LITERALLY
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
THIS IS CRAZY.
I'VE NEVER USED A DUTCH OVEN.
WE KNOW HOW TO COOK. WE JUST
GOT TO FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT.
LET'S GET COOKING.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S DO IT.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
WE GOT OUR FIRST FIRE STARTED.
WHAT THE HELL?
JESSE'S LIKE
AN OLD‐SCHOOL BOY SCOUT, MAN.
THOSE COALS WERE UP
AND, LIKE, PERFECTLY DISTRIBUTED
IN, LIKE, TWO SECONDS.
MEANWHILE,
LIKE, US CITY SLICKERS
ARE, LIKE, STRUGGLING
TO GET A FIRE GOING.
- ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
- SECOND FIRE IS STARTED.
AAH!
MISA DOES NOT KNOW
HOW TO START A FIRE,
WHICH IS NERVE‐RACKING
AT THIS MOMENT.
OH, MY GOD,
THIS IS LIKE WAY‐‐
THAT BAG IS ABOUT
TO CATCH ON FIRE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S KEEP THE FIRE
IN THE PIT, ALL RIGHT?
THE BEAN COURSE‐‐
THAT'LL BE EASY.
WE'LL DO OUR BARBECUE SAUCE
WITH THE BEANS.
DESSERT.
MEAT AND DESSERT.
WE CAN DO AN APPLESAUCE.
I MADE APPLESAUCE BEFORE.
- IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
- WHY DON'T WE DO SCRAMBLED EGGS
WITH, LIKE,
CHOPPED JALAPEÑO?
NO. NO.
NO?
WE NEED A LOT OF MOISTURE
IN THE FOOD,
AND A NICE RUNNY EGG
JUST TASTES REALLY GOOD.
YEAH, SCRAMBLED EGGS
MIGHT BE TOO DRY.
HOW ARE THE POTATOES?
THEY'RE PROBABLY BURNED.
THEY ARE BURNED.
THAT'S, LIKE,
A BURNT ONE.
WE'LL PICK OUT
THE BURNED ONES.
GUYS, WE ARE OFFICIALLY
AT THE HALFWAY POINT.
THERE IS ONE HOUR TO GO.
- USE BACON?
- YEAH.
OR A BARBIE SAUCE.
YOU DON'T NEED TO.
DID YOU GUYS‐‐
HOW MUCH OF THIS‐‐
DID I POUR ALL THAT IN?
NO, I POURED MORE IN.
YOU TALKED TO ME ABOUT IT,
AND THEN YOU WENT AHEAD
AND DID IT ANYWAY
AFTER I ASKED YOU NOT TO.
BECAUSE IT NEEDED MORE
BARBECUE SAUCE, DUDE.
WHOO!
OH, MY GOD!
I THINK THEY'RE DONE.
I THINK THEY'RE DONE.
THEY'RE TOO DONE.
THEY'RE TOO DONE.
OH, THEY'RE‐‐IT'S TOO HOT
ON THE BOTTOM.
GUYS, YOU'VE GOT 30 MINUTES
LEFT IN THE CHALLENGE.
LOOK AT THAT.
GETTING VERY CLOSE HERE.
WE'RE, UH,
WE'RE PUSHING ALONG.
WE GOT SOME GOOD‐TASTING FOOD
OVER THERE.
THIS ONE CONGEALED,
BUT WE'LL JUST LET IT.
GUYS, THERE'S 15 MINUTES
LEFT ON THE CLOCK.
IF YOU ARE NOT FINISHING UP
RIGHT NOW,
YOU SHOULD BE
VERY, VERY WORRIED.
ALL OF THE ASHES
ARE GETTING INTO THIS.
GRAVY SHOULD DEFINITELY
GO ON THAT.
OH, YEAH, THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY
GO ON THE BEEF. THAT'S GREAT.
THERE IS FIVE MINUTES LEFT
IN THE COMPETITION.
YOU NEED TO START PLATING
YOUR DISHES.
BE CARFUL
WITH THE BISCUIT.
THAT'S THE ONLY ONE
WE HAVE THAT'S WHOLE.
I REALLY THINK THE BEEF
GRAVY WOULD BE A LOT BETTER.
IT WOULD MAKE THE PLATE
MORE SOLID,
'CAUSE IT TIES
THE FLAVORS TOGETHER.
BUT IT'S PERFECT
FOR BISCUITS.
I THINK THAT SAUSAGE GRAVY WITH
THE BISCUIT IS GONNA BE GREAT,
AND I THINK NO ONE ELSE IS GONNA
HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
ONE MINUTE LEFT
IN THE COMPETITION.
WHEN I CALL TIME, YOU NEED
TO HAVE YOUR FINISHED DISHES
STANDING IN FRONT
OF YOUR CAMPFIRE.
OOH,
SWEET VICTORY.
TEN, NINE, EIGHT,
SEVEN, SIX, FIVE,
FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.
THAT'S IT. TIME'S UP.
STOP WORKING.
GRAB YOUR PLATES AND LINE UP.
I GOT A CHANCE
TO LOOK AT LAURENT'S PLATE.
THEIR PLATE LOOKED GREAT,
BUT OUR PLATE ALSO LOOKED GREAT.
WITHOUT A DOUBT,
IT'S BETWEEN US TWO.
TEAMS, I WOULD LIKE
TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO TWO VERY SPECIAL COWBOYS
JOEL AND FRANK.
NOW THESE TWO GENTLEMEN
ARE CARD‐CARRYING MEMBERS
OF SOMETHING CALLED THE AMERICAN
CHUCK WAGON ASSOCIATION.
AND TODAY
THEY ARE YOUR JUDGES.
ALL RIGHT, NOM NOM,
YOU GUYS ARE UP FIRST.
JENNIFER, COME UP
AND TELL US WHAT YOU GOT.
SO WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT
OF HOISIN‐GLAZED BEEF HERE,
A LITTLE BIT
OF A BUTTERED BISCUIT,
FRIED EGG, BEANS,
AND THEN FRIED POTATOES.
IN THE CUP
IS CARAMELIZED APPLES.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
WHY DON'T YOU CHOW DOWN
AND TELL US WHAT WE GOT.
HOW DO THESE GUYS EAT
WITH THEIR KNIVES?
ALL RIGHT,
SPENCER ON THE GO.
LAURENT, YOU'RE UP.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
ALL RIGHT,
GRILL 'EM ALL‐‐
JOEL, COME ON UP
AND TELL US WHAT YOU GOT.
FOR THE MAIN DISH,
WE HAVE A ROASTED BEEF
WITH PAN GRAVY,
POTATO HASH,
AND BARBECUE BEANS,
BACON BISCUIT
WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY ON TOP.
AND THEN FOR THE DESSERT,
WE DID SAUTéED APPLES
WITH BROWN SUGAR
AND MAPLE SYRUP GLAZE.
SO, FRANK AND JOEL, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS.
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS TAKE A SECOND
AND MAKE YOUR DECISION?
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU,
GENTLEMEN.
WE KNOW
WE WON'T BE ABLE TO COMPETE
WITH LAURENT'S 6‐COURSE MEAL.
THERE'S JUST SOME THINGS
THAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL,
AND YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK
TO THE FUTURE.
ALL RIGHT,
HERE COME OUR JUDGES, EVERYBODY.
JOEL AND FRANK
HAVE JUST COME BACK.
JOEL AND FRANK
HAVE JUST COME BACK.
THEY'RE GONNA
GIVE THEIR RESULTS
AND WE'RE FEELING PRETTY
CONFIDENT WE'RE GONNA WIN THIS.
SO YOU GUYS
HAVE OBVIOUSLY HAD A CHANCE
TO THINK ABOUT IT, RIGHT?
WE HAVE.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL START OFF
FIRST WITH NOM NOM.
SO WHAT DID YOU THINK
ABOUT THEIR FOOD?
REALLY LIKED THEIR MEAT‐‐
GOOD TEXTURE, TENDER,
GREAT FLAVOR.
BUT THE BEANS‐‐I COULDN'T
GET MUCH TASTE AT ALL.
AND THEN WHAT DID YOU THINK
ABOUT SPENCER ON THE GO?
SPENCER ON THE GO‐‐
I REALLY LIKED THE DESSERT.
THE LAVENDER IN THE DESSERT
WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
WE THOUGHT
THE CORN MUFFIN‐‐
IT JUST DIDN'T ADD
A WHOLE LOT.
GRILL 'EM ALL.
THEIR BEANS WERE‐‐
HAD A GOOD FLAVOR
BUT WERE
A LITTLE UNDERCOOKED.
THEY NEEDED TO STAY
IN THE WATER A LITTLE LONGER
BEFORE THEY WERE PUT ON
THE BAKE.
WE THOUGHT THAT DESSERT,
IT WASN'T OVERLY SWEET,
AND IT HAD A GOOD FLAVOR
TO IT.
SO, GENTLEMEN, YOU'VE EATEN
THOUSANDS OF CHUCK WAGON MEALS.
SO THE BIG QUESTION IS,
DO WE HAVE A WINNER?
TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION
ALL FIVE ITEMS ON THE PLATE,
OUR WINNER IS...
GRILL 'EM ALL.
YES!
OH!
CONGRATULATIONS,
GRILL 'EM ALL.
YOU GUYS HAVE WON
THE CHUCK WAGON TRUCK STOP.
GRABBED IT BY THE BALLS.
THANK YOU, TYLER.
THANK YOU, GUYS.
YOU GUYS
ARE NOW HEADED ONE TOWN OVER
WHERE THERE IS
A GIGANTIC AUTO SHOW
AND THOUSANDS OF HUNGRY
CUSTOMERS WAITING FOR YOU.
WE'VE RESERVED A SPOT
RIGHT IN FRONT.
I HOPE YOU SELL A LOT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
GUYS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
AND FOR THE REST OF YOU GUYS,
NOM NOM, SPENCER,
YOU GUYS ARE GONNA
HAVE TO FIGHT IT OUT
FOR WHOEVER IS HANGING AROUND
DOWNTOWN IN TOWN SQUARE.
I HAVE A FEELING
IT'S GONNA GET UGLY.
SELL HARD, MAKE SOME MONEY,
AND LET'S GET ROLLIN'.
- YEAH!
- YEAH!
LET'S GO.
YOU'RE WASTING THE DAY.
IT FEELS AMAZING.
DUDE,
TRUCK STOP NUMBER TWO.
WE'RE ACTUALLY
IN THIS COMPETITION NOW.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
TIGHT RIDES, DUDE.
THIS WAS KICK‐ASS.
THIS WAS OUR SCENE, MAN.
GRILL 'EM ALL
WINS A COMPETITION,
AND THEY GET TO GO WHERE
THERE'S THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
I CAN HELP WHO'S FIRST.
AND SPENCER AND US
END UP GETTING A TRIP
BACK TO JONESBOROUGH,
WHERE THE TOWN
COULD BE SHUT DOWN IN TWO HOURS.
- WE'RE OPEN!
- STILL HOT.
BUMMED, DEFLATED,
KICKED IN THE TEETH‐‐
YEAH, IT SUCKS.
GIVE ME
A BREAK.
GOT A BEHEMOTH WALKING UP.
SO I'M GONNA HAVE
FOUR BEHEMOTHS AND ONE WITTY
COMING OUT ALL DAY.
LIVINGSTON,
I GOT YOUR BEHEMOTH HERE.
HOLY.
THE LINE IS HUMUNGOUS.
I CAN'T TELL
WHERE IT ENDS.
WE OPENED UP THE GATES
BECAUSE WE HAD TO.
I MEAN, WE HAD A HUGE LINE
FORMING ALREADY.
LET ME GET THREE
WASTE 'EM ALLS WITH BACON.
WALKING IN,
I GOT A TITAN
WITH JUST CHEESE
AND LETTUCE AND TWO FRIES.
SLOW DOWN
A LITTLE BIT, PLEASE.
TITAN'S JUST
A REGULAR CHEESEBURGER‐‐
KETCHUP, LETTUCE, TOMATO,
PICKLE AND CHEESE.
RICK!
KYLE!
DUSTIN!
NONSTOP‐‐
IT WAS INSANE!
HERE'S YOUR
WASTE 'EM ALL.
EVERYBODY WAITING FOR FRENCH
FRIES, THEY'RE JUST ABOUT UP.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.
FIVE‐‐FIVE FRIES ALL DAY.
I MEAN, THERE'S NO WAY
THAT THESE GUYS
IN THAT TINY LITTLE TOWN
OF JONESBOROUGH
ARE DOING AS WELL AS US.
I THINK THE FRENCH FRIES
ARE THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD.FOR US?
LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS THAT
BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY, AMERICA.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH DEAD NOW
AFTER 8:00.
I'VE JUST NEVER SEEN A TOWN
CLEAR OUT SO QUICKLY.
NO ONE'S HUNGRY
AFTER 8:00 P. M.
GRILL 'EM ALL MIGHT BE
JUST KILLING IT.
I NEED 35
OF THE REGULAR BURGERS
ALL THE WAY‐‐WHATEVER
YOU'VE GOT ON THEM.
YOU NEED 35 CHEESEBURGERS?
GIVE ME TEN MORE.
TEN MORE?
- YEP.
- ARE YOU SERIOUS?
45 TITANS.
OH, MY GOD.
I LOVE THIS LADY!
WALKING IN,
WE GOT 45 TITANS.
40!
40 BUCKS WORTH OF POMME FRITES...
FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
I'VE EVER MET‐‐CANDY!
CANDY, CANDY, CANDY!
$300 IN LITERALLY 2 MINUTES.
THERE'S NO WAY THAT NOMS
AND SPENCER DONE THAT MUCH.
GUYS, I'VE GOT 40 PEOPLE NEEDING
THEIR BURGERS AND FRIES.
HUSTLE UP!
WE'RE BUYING 45 HAMBURGERS
FOR ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS.
WHOO!
VOLUNTEERS WORK BETTER
WHEN THEIR BELLIES ARE FULL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
THERE'S NO ONE
OUT HERE RIGHT NOW.
GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE
TO CLOSE DOWN NOW.
OKAY, GUYS.
BE STRONG!
TOMORROW IS GONNA BE
OUR BIG SELLING DAY.
WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED
TO, LIKE, WORK ALL DAY LONG.
IF THEY DON'T COME,
THEN WE'RE SCREWED.
LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND, LIKE,
GET EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED.
WE NEED TO PREP FOR AT LEAST
AN HOUR OR SO TODAY.
WE NEED TO PREP FOR AT LEAST
AN HOUR OR SO TODAY.
SO IT'S DAY THREE,
AND NOM NOM
MIGHT BE IN LAST PLACE.
THIS IS UNCHARTERED WATERS
FOR ALL OF US.
THIS IS GOOD.
GOOD MORNING, SIR.
IT'S GAME DAY.
NO MORE COMING IN FOURTH
OR FIFTH, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T.
THERE'S ONLY
THREE OF US LEFT,
SO YOU HAVE TO BE
IN THE TOP TWO.
LET'S MOVE THE TRUCK UP
A LITTLE BIT
SO THE "NOMMERS"
CAN'T GET IN HERE.
WE NEED TO GO AND, LIKE,
GET OUR FOOD FAST.
WE ARE OUT
OF ALMOST EVERYTHING,
AND WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE
A QUICK STOP TO THE STORE
TO STOCK UP ON SUPPLIES.
YESTERDAY, WE ONLY GOT
ONE THING OF TORTILLAS.
NOW WE'RE GETTING FOUR, SO WE'RE
GETTING KIND OF QUADRUPLE
THE AMOUNT OF SUPPLIES
AS WE DID YESTERDAY.
IT IS A GAMBLE
TO SPEND THAT MUCH.
HOWEVER, IT'S ALSO A HUGE LOSS
IF WE RUN OUT OF FOOD,
AND IT'S BETTER TO HAVE TOO MUCH
THAN TOO LITTLE.
LET'S START SELLING
LIKE WILDFIRE.
IT'S ALL ABOUT TO HAPPEN, MAN.
A TITAN? SURE THING.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!
FIRST SALE OF THE DAY.
THANK YOU.
THIS IS A FIRST
IN THIS WHOLE COMPETITION.
WE'RE ACTUALLY OPEN
BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE.
WE GOT STARTED
AT, LIKE, 11:30.
WALKING IN, WE GOT
A TITAN AND A BRUNCH BEAST.
HEY NOW! HEY NOW! HEY NOW!
AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
WE HAVE A LINE.
WE'VE JUST DONE $22
IN SALES IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES.
AND THE WHOLE TIME
THIS IS GOING ON,
THE NOM NOM TRUCK IS, LIKE,
NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.
EVERYTHING'S COMING UP
GRILL 'EM ALL.
THAT'LL BE $15, CAROL.
WE'RE EATING
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES,
AND THEY'RE VERY GOOD‐‐
VERY GOOD.
I'D SAY DELICIOUS.
DUDE, IT'S AMAZING‐‐
ALL THOSE PEOPLE
IN FRONT OF THE SPENCER TRUCK
ARE EATING OUR BURGERS.
NOM NOM PULLED UP.
YEAH, WHERE
HAVE THEY BEEN?
SHOWED UP LATE
TO THE DANCE.
WE'RE PREPPING
AS FAST AS WE CAN.
HI, THERE. WE'RE GONNA BE OPEN
AROUND 12:45.
I'VE SEEN $200 OR $300
WALK BY.
TIME IS MONEY.
WE HAVE TO OPEN
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
ARE WE READY TO SERVE?
NO.
LOOKS LIKE
THE CHURCH CROWD IS OUT.
OH.
ONE TITAN.
WE GOT SIMMONS.
HI, I'M GONNA HAVE A TITAN
WITHOUT THE PICKLE.
ALL RIGHT, SOLID PACE.
I THINK ALL THREE OF US
GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATED
HOW AMAZING JONESBOROUGH
WAS GONNA BE.
AFTER THIS CHURCH RUSH,
IF IT EVER STOPS,
WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE
TO BUY A LOT MORE STUFF,
BECAUSE WE ARE, LIKE,
ALMOST OUT OF BURGERS.
PEOPLE ARE EXCITED TO SEE US.
THEY WANT TO TRY OUR FOOD.
IT'S AMAZING.
THAT'LL BE $10, MARGE.
IT'S 12:20, AND YOU
DON'T OPEN TILL 12:45,
AND SO YOU'VE LOST
A BIG CHURCH CROWD.
NOM NOM TRUCK HAS NO LINE,
AND THEY'RE TOTALLY PISSED OFF.
YEAH, GRILL 'EM ALL AND SPENCERS
BOTH HAVE A 10‐PERSON LINE.
SO WE
JUST GOTTA GET MOVING.
WHEN I CAME DOWN HERE
FROM SERVICE,
WE WENT TO NOM NOM,
AND THEY WEREN'T OPEN,
SO WE COULDN'T WAIT THAT LONG,
SO WE CAME UP HERE
TO SPENCER ON THE GO.
DO YOU GUYS THINK WE'RE READY
TO OPEN RIGHT NOW? YEAH.
YEAH, I THINK SO.
OKAY, COOL. OKAY,
WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
LET'S SEE.
I WANT TO HAVE THE GARLIC
CHICKEN SANDWICH, PLEASE.
WE'RE RUNNING LOW
ON EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW.
WELL, THAT MEANS WE'RE DOING
REALLY WELL IN SALES.
WE'RE OUT.
THIS IS THE LAST BEHEMOTH.
ALL RIGHT,
ALL THE BURGERS WE HAVE LEFT
ARE CURRENTLY ON THE GRILL.
HI, FOLKS,
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES
OF OPENING UP,
A LINE OF 20 OR 30 PEOPLE
SUDDENLY STARTS TO FORM.
$18 IS YOUR TOTAL.
JUST LIKE THAT, NOM NOM TRUCK
IS BACK IN THE GAME.
- WE RAN OUT OF BACON.
- RAN OUT OF ONIONS.
RAN OUT OF PICKLES.
RUNNING OUT OF JALAPEÑOS.
MAYBE WE NEED
TO STOP THE LINE.
SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
13 BURGERS TO SELL.
SO I JUST DON'T, LIKE, WANT
ANYBODY WAITING FOR NOTHING.
THE THING THAT STINKS
ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF FOOD
IS THAT WE HAD TO CLOSE
OUR GATES ON CUSTOMERS.
SLIDERS. THE LINE
IS 20 PEOPLE LONG NOW.
SLIDERS AND THE TOMATOES
FOR TIM.
BE RIGHT WITH YOU,
MA'AM.
THERE'S THREE CATFISH,
TWO TOMATO, TWO SLIDERS.
SO ALL IN ALL, SHUTTING DOWN,
IT'S GOTTA BE ANYWHERE
FROM, LIKE, $300 TO $500
THAT WE LOST OUT ON.
WE GOT EVERYTHING?
IT LOOKS LIKE
WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING, MAN.
THE WAY WE'RE STOCKED
RIGHT NOW,
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOOD
FOR THE ENTIRE DAY.
DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT‐‐
PHENOMENAL.
WE GOT THE PORK SANDWICH‐‐
INCREDIBLE FLAVOR.
- PORK SANDWICH.
- 98.
I JUST HEARD
FROM A CUSTOMER
THAT GRILL 'EM ALL
HAD TO GET MORE FOOD...
OH, REALLY?
SO THAT'S GOING TO TAKE, LIKE,
AN HOUR TO AN HOUR AND A HALF.
THANK YOU.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
WHAT IS THAT?
OH, WHEW.
YEAH, AND I'M NOT EVEN
DONE COUNTING YET.
THERE'S NO EUPHEMISM
FOR "LOSER," IS THERE?
THERE IS A EUPHEMISM
FOR "LOSER."
IT'S GRILL 'EM ALL.
I'M JUST KIDDING!
OH! GOD!
- OH, MY GOD!
- DUDE!
NO. LET ME PATTY UP
THE REST OF THESE.
IT'LL TAKE ME
FIVE MINUTES.
YEAH, THAT'S FINE.
THAT'S FINE.
I'LL DO BEHEMOTH BUNS.
THE CROWD'S STARTING
TO DIE DOWN.
DINNER RUSH HOUR HITS,
AND THERE IS NO RUSH WHATSOEVER.
IT'S DEAD RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS
DOWN THE STREET,
BUT IT'S ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE
PEAK DINNER HOUR.
EVERY BURGER'S GOTTA GO.
COOL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT LAURENT, JOHN,
AND JESSE ARE DOING.
IT SEEMS LIKE
THEY'RE KIND OF RELAXED,
BUT WE'RE ON THE OPPOSITE
OF THAT.
HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON,
GUYS?
DO YOU KNOW IF THERE'S, LIKE,
ANY OFFICERS IN THE AREA?
IF THEY WANT TO STOP
BY OUR TRUCK,
WE'LL GIVE 'EM DISCOUNTS
AND STUFF.
WE'LL LET 'EM KNOW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR.
THANK YOU.
THESE LAST 15 MINUTES
COULD MAKE THE GAME FOR US.
THIS IS OUR BEST SELLER.
WE'VE MADE ABOUT $1,800 TODAY.
HOWEVER, EVERYONE ELSE
WAS BUSY, TOO.
THIS IS REALLY THE FIRST TIME
WHERE WE HAVEN'T FELT VERY SAFE
IN THE COMPETITION.
I REALLY DON'T WANT
TO GO HOME.
NEITHER DO I.
YEAH. WRAP IT UP.
GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE
TO CLOSE DOWN NOW.
AND THERE'S REALLY JUST
NO ONE OUT ANYMORE.
THERE'S NO ONE OUT
ANYMORE.
- HEY, MAN.
- WHAT'S UP, GUYS?
YOU WANT TO DO, UH, LIKE,
TEN BURGERS IN A MINUTE?
WE CAN DO TEN BURGERS.
THIS GUY ORDERED TEN BURGERS,
AND IT WAS EXACTLY TEN BURGERS
THAT WE HAD ON THE GRILL
AND TEN BURGERS
THAT WE HAD LEFT.
GOD, MAN, I LOVE THIS CITY
SO MUCH.
HERE YOU GO.
GOD, MAN, I LOVE THIS CITY
SO MUCH.
HERE YOU GO.
ALL RIGHT,
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH,
GUYS.
I THINK
WE COULD GET NUMBER ONE.
I ALSO THINK
WE COULD BE GOING HOME.
IT'S THE WEIRDEST FEELING
EVER.
GUYS, HERE WE ARE AGAIN,
OUR FIFTH
"GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"
ELIMINATION.
IF YOU MAKE IT
THROUGH TODAY,
YOU'LL BE COMPETING
ONE‐ON‐ONE
- FOR $50,000.
- ALL RIGHT. WHOO!
SO THESE THREE DAYS
IN JONESBOROUGH
DIDN'T GO THE WAY
ANYBODY EXPECTED.
IT IS, BY FAR,
THE SMALLEST CITY WE VISITED.
BUT GET THIS‐‐
EACH TEAM MADE MORE MONEY HERE
THAN ANY CITY SO FAR.
WE KNEW THAT WE'D BROKEN
OUR PREVIOUS RECORD,
BUT EVERYBODY BEAT
THEIR PREVIOUS RECORD.
IT'S GONNA COME DOWN TO,
I THINK, A VERY CLOSE RACE HERE.
I HAVE YOUR SALES TOTALS
RIGHT HERE‐‐
WHO MADE THE MOST,
WHO MADE THE LEAST,
AND WHO IS OUT
OF THE RACE.
WE'RE NOT FEELING
SUPER CONFIDENT
ABOUT WHERE WE STAND
IN THE COMPETITION.
IT'S JUST SO HARD TO TELL
AT THIS POINT. WE DID OUR BEST.
AND WE JUST HOPE
THAT WE AREN'T GOING HOME.
SO ARE YOU GUYS READY TO FIND
OUT WHO'S OUT OF THE RACE?
YEAH.
IN FIRST PLACE
WITH A TOTAL OF...
$3,117...
THE NOM NOM TRUCK.
WHAT THE?
FIVE IN A ROW‐‐
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
OH, MY GOD.
GET OUT OF HERE, MAN!
WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT!
SO IT'S AMAZING, GUYS.
YOU HAVEN'T WON
A SINGLE TRUCK STOP,
AND YOU COME IN FIRST PLACE
IN EVERY SINGLE CITY.
I'M JUST SO PROUD
OF US
AND EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE DONE
AND THAT WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
TO THE FINAL CITY!
SO AFTER THREE DAYS
IN JONESBOROUGH,
I'M SURE YOU GUYS
HAVE SEEN MOST OF IT.
SO OUR GOOD FRIENDS
AT ORBITZ
ARE GIVING YOU
FIRST‐CLASS AIRLINE TICKETS
AND LUXURIOUS HOTEL ROOMS
ANYWHERE IN TENNESSEE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
ABOUT THE NOM NOM TRUCK ANYMORE.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN
THEIR TRUCK
JUST TO TAKE
ALL THOSE VACATIONS.
CONGRATULATIONS.
HERE'S YOUR PRIZE
FROM ORBITZ. WAY TO GO.
THANK YOU.
SO IT ALL COMES DOWN
TO THIS.
ALL RIGHT.
ONE OF YOU TWO
WILL BE BATTLING OUT
WITH NOM NOM
FOR $50,000.
AND FOR THE OTHER TEAM,
IT'S THE END OF THE GAME
RIGHT NOW.
OH, MY GOD.
ARE YOU GUYS NERVOUS?
YEAH.
LET ME MAKE YOU
A LITTLE MORE NERVOUS.
AFTER THREE DAYS OF COOKING
AND SELLING AT JONESBOROUGH,
THE TWO OF YOU TEAMS
ARE WITHIN $40 OF EACH OTHER.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU'VE GOT
TO BE KIDDING ME.
LESS THAN $40 RIGHT NOW
SEPARATING US
AND GRILL 'EM ALL.
I CAN'T HANDLE THAT
RIGHT NOW.
$40 SEPARATES THE TEAM
THAT'S MOVING ON FROM THE TEAM
THAT'S GOING HOME.
GRILL 'EM ALL,
YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE
YOU'RE ABOUT TO PASS OUT.
I'M READY TO THROW UP.
YOU HAD TWO HARD DAYS HERE,
SOME FANTASTIC SALES.
YOU THINK IT'S ENOUGH
TO PUT YOU OVER THE TOP?
LET'S HOPE SO, MAN.
WE DID OUR BEST.
IT'S GONNA BE NUTS.
SO YOU GUYS
ARE READY TO DO THIS?
YEAH, LET'S DO IT.SURE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE
A DEEP BREATH.
IN SECOND PLACE,
MOVING ONTO THE BIG FINALE...
IN A WINNER‐TAKE‐ALL BATTLE
WITH THE SEEMINGLY INVINCIBLE
NOM NOM TRUCK...
WITH 2,000...
700...
AND 63 DOLLARS...
GRILL 'EM ALL.
YOU GUYS MADE THE FINAL TWO
BY FIVE BURGERS.
BRING IT IN.
ALL RIGHT, CHEF.
HEY, MAN.
SPENCER ON THE GO,
I'M SO SORRY.
YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT THERE
TILL THE VERY END.
YOU HAD A GRAND TOTAL
OF $2,726.
AND YOU WERE EXACTLY $37
LESS THAN GRILL 'EM ALL.
37 BUCKS!
I MEAN, THAT'S INSANE.
BUT A WIN'S A WIN,
AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS.
IT'S $37
THAT WE MISSED THE CHANCE
OF $50,000‐‐
REALLY, REALLY HURTS.
GUYS, WE'RE SAD
TO SEE YOU GO,
BUT IT'S TIME TO LOAD UP
AND HEAD HOME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
BYE.
BYE.
BUMMER LOSING BY $37.
SPENCER ON THE GO
IS GOING BACK HOME TODAY.
GUYS, YOU'RE THE LAST TWO TRUCKS
IN THE RACE,
AND 1 OF YOU WILL WIN
$50,000.
WHOO‐HOO!
SO I BET YOU GUYS CAN GUESS
WHERE THIS RACE IS HEADING NEXT.
WE ARE HEADED
600 MILES NORTHEAST
TO NEW YORK CITY.
BUT I PROMISE YOU,
EVERYTHING YOU THINK
YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS RACE
IS ABOUT TO CHANGE.
GREAT.
NOW THAT IT'S US AND NOM,
LIKE, IT IS ON, MAN.
WE'RE BRINGING OUR "A" GAME
TO NEW YORK CITY.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA EVEN KNOW
WHAT HIT 'EM, MAN.
IT'S GONNA BE A FURY OF BURGERS
EVERYWHERE.
WE'RE GONNA JUST WORK
OUR NOM NOM MAGIC.
GRILL 'EM ALL
WILL JUST HAVE TO HEAD HOME
EMPTY‐HANDED.
ARE YOU GUYS READY
FOR NEW YORK CITY AND 50 GRAND?
YEAH!
GET YOUR TRUCKS,
AND LET'S GET ROLLIN'.
ALL RIGHT.
WHOO!
SEE YOU GUYS IN NEW YORK.
NEXT TIME ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE,"
ONE BY ONE...

YOU WILL WORK YOUR WAY
THROUGH EVERY BOROUGH.
WHOEVER LOSES GOES HOME
EMPTY‐HANDED.
FIRST TEAM UP THERE
WINS THE $50,000
FIRST TEAM UP THERE
WINS THE $50,000.
THIS IS OUR CONTEST,
AND WE'RE GONNA WIN IT.
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
SEVEN TEAMS OF CHEFS
AND THEIR TRUCKS
SET OUT ON THE CULINARY
ROAD RACE OF A LIFETIME
SET OUT ON THE CULINARY
ROAD RACE OF A LIFETIME
WITH $50,000 ON THE LINE.
FROM SUNNY SAN DIEGO
TO THE BIG EASY,
THEY'VE BATTLED FOR PARKING...
STOP, DAVID, STOP!
PUBLICITY AND PROFIT.
EACH WEEK,
ONE TEAM HAS MADE
THE LONG, LONELY DRIVE HOME.
LAST TO GO
WE'RE THE DETERMINED TEXANS
FROM AUSTIN DAILY PRESS.
BYE!
THE GRILL 'EM ALL TRUCK
IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
THE BURGER GUYS
FROM GRILL 'EM ALL
HAVE STRUGGLED
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
I GIVE UP, DUDE.
DON'T GIVE UP YET.
BUT FOR NOW
THEY'RE STILL IN THE RACE
- AND STILL BEST FRIENDS.
- BURGERS!
THE FRENCH CHEFS
OF SPENCER ON THE GO...
HAVE SURVIVED
ONLY BY WINNING
CRUCIAL TRUCK STOP
COOKING CHALLENGES.
WHO IS OUR $500 WINNER?
SPENCER ON THE GO.
AND YET AGAIN,
THE VIETNAMESE NOM NOM TRUCK
HAS PROVEN UNSTOPPABLE...
MMM!
NOM NOM TRUCK.
NOM NOM TRUCK. NOM NOM TRUCK.
NOM NOM TRUCK.
WITH FOUR UNBELIEVABLE WINS
IN A ROW.
NOW THE RACE COMES HERE TO TINY
JONESBOROUGH, TENNESSEE,
5,000 PEOPLE AND 3 FOOD TRUCKS.
WHO'S GOING HOME NEXT?
I'M TYLER FLORENCE,
AND THIS
IS "THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
LET'S GET ROLLIN'.
FOOD TRUCK ROAD TRIP!
FOOD TRUCK ROAD TRIP!
DUDE, IT'S CRAZY
TO GO FROM, LIKE,
- ONE OF THE CRAZIEST CITIES IN THE COUNTRY...
- YEAH.
AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
THAT'S AWESOME.
I'M NOT SURE
HOW SMALL‐TOWN AMERICA
IS GONNA RELATE
TO UPSCALE CUISINE.
NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE, I THINK,
IN JONESBOROUGH,
KNOW WHAT BáHN Mi IS.
I KNOW THEY CAN RELATE
TO BURGERS.
I THINK JUST, LIKE,
A REGULAR CHEESEBURGER
IS GONNA BE, LIKE,
OUR BIGGEST SELLER HERE.
THE ASIAN POPULATION HERE
IS .17 PERCENT.
DRIVING INTO JONESBOROUGH,
I'M FEELING NERVOUS.
THE ONLY ASIAN RESTAURANT
IN TOWN
IS CALLED
NO. 1 CHINESE RESTAURANT.
I DON'T KNOW
IF PEOPLE HAVE HEARD
OF BáHN Mi SANDWICHES EVER.
HOPEFULLY, WE'LL HAVE CURIOUS
PEOPLE COMING TO THE TRUCK.
WE REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHO WE'RE GONNA SELL TO.
IT'S GONNA BE
A REALLY TOUGH CHALLENGE
GETTING PEOPLE
TO TRY OUR FOOD.
THERE'S A LITTLE BISTRO.
THAT MIGHT BE AS CLOSE
AS YOU'RE GONNA GET
TO FRENCH AROUND HERE.
WHAT'S UP, TYLER?
BONSOIR, MONSIEUR.
HOW ARE YOU?
HOW ARE YOU?
WELCOME
TO JONESBOROUGH, TENNESSEE.
WE ARE SCREAMING TOWARDS
THE END OF THIS RACE,
WHERE 1 TEAM
WILL WIN $50,000.
WHOO! YEAH!
WHOO!
SO UP UNTIL NOW,
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SELLING
IN CITIES,
SOME BIGGER THAN OTHERS,
BUT ONE THING
THEY ALL HAD IN COMMON
WAS TOURISM, NIGHTLIFE,
AND SOME ACTION.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE,
JONESBOROUGH
IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
IT'S A QUAINT, CUTE TOWN
OF 5,000.
EVERY SALE YOU MAKE HERE
IS GOING TO COUNT.
SO I'M GIVING YOU
AN EXTRA 24 HOURS.
IN THREE DAYS, ONE TEAM
WILL BE OUT OF THE RACE.
YOU'VE ALL COME THIS FAR.
DON'T LET IT BE YOU.
I CAN'T IMAGINE US DRIVING BACK
AFTER ALL THIS.
WE JUST CAN'T DO IT.
GUYS, WE ARE STANDING
IN DOWNTOWN JONESBOROUGH.
THERE IS NO PLACE ELSE
TO SELL... REALLY.
THIS TOWN'S SO SMALL,
ALL THREE TRUCKS
ARE GONNA BE SELLING TOGETHER.
AND IT BECOMES MORE
OF A COMPETITION ABOUT FOOD
AND GETTING THE FOOD OUT
QUICKER.
JUST LIKE ALWAYS, YOU START OUT
WITH EMPTY TRUCKS‐‐TOTALLY EVEN.
HERE'S YOUR CASH
TO GET STARTED WITH.
I GOT $400 FOR ALL OF YOU.
OH, NICE.
THAT'S CHEATING.
FOOD TRUCKS,
ARE YOU READY?
- YEAH!
- WHOO!
LISTEN, MAKE SURE YOU
KEEP YOUR CELL PHONES ON.
I WILL BE CALLING YOU
SOMETIME THIS WEEKEND.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT
THE TRUCK STOP, OUR LITTLE TWIST
JUST TO MAKE SURE
YOU NEVER EVER RELAX.
YOUR TIME STARTS NOW.
GO, GO, GO.
GO, GO, GO.
THIS IS THE FIRST TOWN
WHERE WE'RE NOT EXCLUSIVE
WHATSOEVER.
LIKE, IT'S LIKE EVERYONE'S
GONNA BE SERVING SIDE BY SIDE.
THIS TOWN IS NOT BUILT
FOR FOOD TRUCKS.
I THINK WE'RE GONNA DO
PRETTY WELL HERE.
$400'S GONNA DO IT, MAN.
$400 IS MORE MONEY
THAN WE ACTUALLY NEED.
HELLO.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
HELLO.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I THINK I'VE GOT
EVERYTHING READY FOR YOU.
COLLARD GREENS HERE.
WHOO!
RIGHT, IT'S A GOOD
SOUTHERN RECIPE.
IT WOULD BE
MY GRANDMOTHER'S.
UH, THE SECRET
TO YOUR CORNBREAD,
IF YOU HAVE
A THICK‐WALLED PAN,
HEAT IT UP, GET IT‐‐GET IT
ALMOST TO THE SMOKING POINT
BEFORE YOU POUR IT IN.
IT'LL MAKE YOUR CRUST
VERY CRISPY ON YOUR CORNBREAD.
IN THE SMALL TOWN
OF JONESBOROUGH,
THERE'S REALLY ONLY
TWO OR THREE PLACES
WHERE YOU CAN
PURCHASE SUPPLIES.
WELL, THIS LOOKS
PRETTY BIG. THIS LOOKS GOOD.
AND IT'S REALLY JUST A RACE
TO SEE WHO CAN GET BACK
TO MAIN STREET AND START SERVING
AS QUICKLY AS THEY CAN.
I HEARD
THEY DON'T HAVE BAGUETTES,
BUT WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT WORK
WHATEVER WAY.
I CAN WORK WITH THIS. I'M GONNA
MAKE SOME ASIAN SLIDERS.
WE NEED FLOUR AND SUGAR
FOR THE GRAVY.
I KNOW THAT NOM NOM
AND SPENCER
ARE GONNA BE ON MAIN STREET
TONIGHT SELLING...
I'M GONNA GRAB CHEDDAR.
SO WE HAVE TO GET
ALL OF OUR GROCERY SHOPPING DONE
AND TRY TO OPEN UP
IN THE SAME TIME FRAME AS THEM.
AT THIS POINT, OPENING OUR GATES
LATE IS A DISADVANTAGE.
WE'RE A PREP‐HEAVY TRUCK.
IT TAKES US LONGER TO GET OPEN.
SO WE HAVE TO HUSTLE TODAY.
THOSE TACOS ARE GONNA
CRUSH GRILL 'EM ALL.
IS THAT IT?
STICKING WITH BREAD.
GOOD CALL.
HI. HEY, GUYS.
HOW ARE YOU?
YES.
IT'S FANTASTIC.
OH, WOW,
SPENCER'S IS ALREADY OPEN.
WE HAVE
COMPLETELY UNDERESTIMATED
THE JONESBOROUGH CROWD.
THE WHOLE TOWN IS SO EXCITED
TO HAVE US HERE.
CLEARLY, WORD IS GETTING OUT.
EVERYONE IS ON MAIN STREET.
IT'S A REALITY FOOD CHALLENGE
INVOLVING THREE FOOD TRUCKS.
EVERYONE'S WELCOME TO COME BY
AND TASTE THEIR DELICACIES.
OKAY, HOW MANY SLIDERS
WOULD YOU LIKE?
AND THEN NUMBER 85.
OH, MY GOD,
THEY'RE ALREADY HERE?
- NUMBER 93.
- IT'S A BUMMER TO SEE THAT THE OTHER TRUCKS
ARE ALREADY OPEN
AND SELLING.
I'M SURE THAT THEY'VE ALREADY
MADE A BUNCH OF MONEY
WHILE WE'VE BEEN RUNNING AROUND
TRYING TO GET ALL OF OUR FOOD.
I WONDER
IF NOM NOM WOULD MOVE
SO WE CAN JUST GET UP
RIGHT BEHIND THEM.
WE WON'T BE ABLE
TO OPEN OUR GATES.
OH, YEAH,
THERE'S THAT TREE.
IT JUST SUCKS BECAUSE WE'RE
GONNA BE, LIKE, SO FAR BEHIND.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE
AN AFTERTHOUGHT.
COMING UP ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
WE'RE READY
FOR SOME FRENCH COOKIN'.
MEET ME AT OLD MAN JOHNSON'S FARM.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GUYS A
YOU GUYS ARE GONNA PREPARE
A TRADITIONAL 5‐COURSE
- FRONTIER MEAL.
- HOLY COW.
- RIDICULOUS.
- WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT WORK.
MAYBE WE NEED
TO STOP THE LINE.
I REALLY DON'T WANT
TO GO HOME.
THERE'S A POLE RIGHT THERE.
IF WE PULL
FURTHER THIS WAY,
WE WON'T BE ABLE TO OPEN
THE GATES BECAUSE OF THIS.
THE OTHER TRUCKS
ARE ALREADY OPEN AND SELLING.
IT BREAKS MY HEART. WE GOT
A LOT OF CATCH‐UP TO DO.
IT BREAKS MY HEART. WE GOT
A LOT OF CATCH‐UP TO DO.
WE CAN OPEN RIGHT HERE.
THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM
TO OPEN RIGHT HERE.
THE NOMS AND SPENCER
HAVE REALLY GOOD SPOTS,
AND OUR ONLY OPTION
IS TO TAKE A REALLY
MEDIOCRE SPOT BEHIND NOM NOM.
WHAT WOULD THE CHANCES BE
OF OUR TRUCK PULLING AROUND
AND FILLING OUR GATES OPEN
SO IT'S, LIKE, RIGHT THERE?
IF YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR VEHICLE
OUT THAT WAY, THAT'S FINE.
OR IF YOU WANTED TO BRING IT
HERE, THAT'S FINE ALSO.
OH!
YOU GUYS, GRILL 'EM ALL'S
IN THE HOUSE.
"NO PARKING."
HA HA. WE TALKED
TO THE POLICE ALREADY.
YOU SEE THAT?
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.
WE'LL BE WITH YOU FOLKS
IN JUST ONE MOMENT.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO TAKE CARE
OF ALL OUR PREP WORK.
THEY SOUND SERIOUS
IN THERE.
THESE GUYS,
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT,
BUT THEY'RE JUST ABLE TO OPEN UP
SO QUICKLY,
AND WE'RE STUCK COOKING OFF
FRIES AND ALL THIS STUFF.
IT'S JUST SUCH A ROYAL PAIN.
ALL RIGHT, WE ALREADY GOT
A LINE IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK.
- THEN WE JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THE FOOD FOR THEM.
- ARE Y'ALL OPEN?
NOT QUITE YET. JUST, LIKE,
ANOTHER FIVE, TEN MINUTES.
ETHEL.
THIS IS OUR
HONEY‐GRILLED PORK.
IT'S OUR BEST SELLER AND THEN
THIS IS OUR GARLIC CHICKEN.
HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE
THAT SANDWICH‐‐B‐A‐H‐N?
BáHN Mi. BáHN Mi.
WHAT, THE "PAN‐MI"?
IS THAT WHAT IT IS? BON‐NI?
PAN‐NI‐‐
I DON'T KNOW.
IS THAT HOW YOU
PRONOUNCE IT, BáHN Mi?
BA‐NI? BáHN Mi.
IF YOU SAY SO.
WORD OF MOUTH JUST SPREADS
LIKE WILDFIRE IN THIS TOWN.
I MEAN, ONE PERSON
EATS A SANDWICH,
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THERE'S TEN PEOPLE IN LINE.
THIS MIGHT BE OUR BEST NIGHT
OUT OF EVERY OTHER
COMPETITION CITY.
GLAD TO SEE
YOU'RE BACK.
COME AND GET IT!
WE NEED 2 BEHEMOTHS.
$13.
BARNEY!
HEY, DAN.
THAT GRILL 'EM BURGER'S
SO GOOD,
IT'D MAKE A TADPOLE
SMACK A WHALE.
IT'S LOOKING
TO BE A GREAT NIGHT,
AND THEN 8:30 HITS,
AND IT IS DEAD.
COME OUT, COME OUT,
WHEREVER YOU ARE, TOWNSPEOPLE.
SUDDENLY, JUST EVERYONE
IS GONE.
IS THERE, LIKE,
A PART OF TOWN
THAT'S GOT SOME PEOPLE
WALKING AROUND?
THIS TOWN
JUST SHUTS DOWN EARLY, HUH? YEAH.
COME ON IN.
LET'S HAVE A DRINK.
SO I WASN'T KIDDING WHEN
I SAID THINGS GET PRETTY DEAD
AROUND HERE IN JONESBOROUGH
AT NIGHT.
I TOLD THE TEAMS THEY HAD TO
FIGHT FOR EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER,
BUT RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NOT EVEN
A SINGLE CUSTOMER TO BE HAD.
HEY, MISA, IT'S TYLER.
HI, TYLER.
HEY, TYLER.
HOW YOU DOING, BUDDY?
IT'S A LITTLE QUIET, HUH?
OH, WE'RE DEAD RIGHT NOW,
MY MAN.
IT'S REALLY SLOW,
YES, IT IS.
WHY ARE YOU CALLING US?
SO NOW YOU KNOW
THAT EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER
IN JONESBOROUGH'S PRECIOUS,
AND YOU'VE GOT TO FIGHT
FOR THEM.
Why don't you guys
call it a night.
IT SEEMS
THAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS. OKAY.
WE'RE GONNA
CALL IT A NIGHT.
MEET ME FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING
AT OLD MAN JOHNSON'S FARM.
It's down by the river.
You can't miss it.
I'll have a truck stop there
waiting for you.
OH, MY GOD.
FOR THE WINNING TEAM,
EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
TO LITERALLY THOUSANDS
OF HUNGRY CUSTOMERS.
HOLY COW.
OKAY, FOR THE WINNING TEAM,
THEY GET EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
TO THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS
TOMORROW NIGHT.
WIN, AND YOU'RE PRACTICALLY
GUARANTEED A SPOT
IN THE FINAL TWO.
- JESUS.
- All right, good night, guys.
OLD MAN JOHNSON'S FARM
DOWN BY THE RIVER.
LET'S LOOK IT UP
RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S THIS, LIKE, PIT
IN MY STOMACH.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE US DO.
I JUST HAVE THIS HORRIBLE,
HORRIBLE FEELING.
I DON'T WANT TO SKIN 700 POUNDS
OF CATFISH AGAIN!
YOU GOT THE PHONE CALL
ALREADY?
AND IF THE FRENCH GUYS WIN IT,
THAT MEANS IT'S JUST US
AND NOM NOM, AND, LIKE,
NOM NOM'S KILLING IT.
WE'RE DEFINITELY BEHIND
IN THE COMPETITION RIGHT NOW.
WE DIDN'T DO ANY BUSINESS
FOR A SOLID TWO HOURS.
WE HAVE TO WIN
THIS TRUCK STOP.
COME ON.
COME ON.
HOW ARE YOU?
HEY, GUYS. WELCOME
TO YOUR NEXT TRUCK STOP.
YOU MAY THINK THAT SERVING FOOD
FROM A TRUCK IS A NEW TREND.
WELL, YOU'D BE WRONG.
FOOD TRUCKS HAVE BEEN AROUND
SINCE DANIEL BOONE
RODE THROUGH THESE PARTS
MORE THAN 200 YEARS AGO.
BACK THEN, THE PIONEERS
CALLED THEM CHUCK WAGONS.
THEIR BASICALLY
THE GREAT‐GREAT‐GRANDPARENTS
OF YOUR
MODERN‐DAY FOOD TRUCKS.
TODAY, YOU GUYS ARE GETTING
IN TOUCH WITH YOUR ANCESTORS.
THERE'S A FIREPIT.
THERE'S CAST IRON EVERYWHERE.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
THIS CHUCK WAGON RIGHT HERE
IS FILLED
WITH PIONEER‐ERA SUPPLIES‐‐
CAST‐IRON SKILLETS,
FIREWOOD,
AND BASIC FRONTIER INGREDIENTS.
YOU GUYS ARE GONNA PREPARE
A TRADITIONAL
5‐COURSE FRONTIER MEAL.
WOW.
THAT MEANS BREAD, BEANS,
POTATOES, MEAT...
PLUS A DESSERT.
I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT TO DO.
I SEE ALL THESE THINGS
THAT I'M SO UNFAMILIAR WITH.
THIS IS ONE CHALLENGE WHERE
I WILL NOT BE HELPFUL AT ALL.
120 MINUTES FROM NOW,
YOUR DISHES WILL BE TASTED
AND JUDGED.
THE TEAM THAT MAKES THE BEST
EXECUTED 5‐COURSE MEAL
WINS A VERY SPECIAL PRIZE.
LATER TODAY,
THE NEXT TOWN OVER
THERE'S GONNA BE
A MASSIVE AUTO SHOW.
I'VE RESERVED ONE SPACE
FOR ONE TRUCK.
THE WINNING TEAM
GETS TO GO THERE
AND SELL TO LITERALLY
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
THIS IS CRAZY.
I'VE NEVER USED A DUTCH OVEN.
WE KNOW HOW TO COOK. WE JUST
GOT TO FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT.
LET'S GET COOKING.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S DO IT.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
WE GOT OUR FIRST FIRE STARTED.
WHAT THE HELL?
JESSE'S LIKE
AN OLD‐SCHOOL BOY SCOUT, MAN.
THOSE COALS WERE UP
AND, LIKE, PERFECTLY DISTRIBUTED
IN, LIKE, TWO SECONDS.
MEANWHILE,
LIKE, US CITY SLICKERS
ARE, LIKE, STRUGGLING
TO GET A FIRE GOING.
- ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
- SECOND FIRE IS STARTED.
AAH!
MISA DOES NOT KNOW
HOW TO START A FIRE,
WHICH IS NERVE‐RACKING
AT THIS MOMENT.
OH, MY GOD,
THIS IS LIKE WAY‐‐
THAT BAG IS ABOUT
TO CATCH ON FIRE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S KEEP THE FIRE
IN THE PIT, ALL RIGHT?
THE BEAN COURSE‐‐
THAT'LL BE EASY.
WE'LL DO OUR BARBECUE SAUCE
WITH THE BEANS.
DESSERT.
MEAT AND DESSERT.
WE CAN DO AN APPLESAUCE.
I MADE APPLESAUCE BEFORE.
- IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
- WHY DON'T WE DO SCRAMBLED EGGS
WITH, LIKE,
CHOPPED JALAPEÑO?
NO. NO.
NO?
WE NEED A LOT OF MOISTURE
IN THE FOOD,
AND A NICE RUNNY EGG
JUST TASTES REALLY GOOD.
YEAH, SCRAMBLED EGGS
MIGHT BE TOO DRY.
HOW ARE THE POTATOES?
THEY'RE PROBABLY BURNED.
THEY ARE BURNED.
THAT'S, LIKE,
A BURNT ONE.
WE'LL PICK OUT
THE BURNED ONES.
GUYS, WE ARE OFFICIALLY
AT THE HALFWAY POINT.
THERE IS ONE HOUR TO GO.
- USE BACON?
- YEAH.
OR A BARBIE SAUCE.
YOU DON'T NEED TO.
DID YOU GUYS‐‐
HOW MUCH OF THIS‐‐
DID I POUR ALL THAT IN?
NO, I POURED MORE IN.
YOU TALKED TO ME ABOUT IT,
AND THEN YOU WENT AHEAD
AND DID IT ANYWAY
AFTER I ASKED YOU NOT TO.
BECAUSE IT NEEDED MORE
BARBECUE SAUCE, DUDE.
WHOO!
OH, MY GOD!
I THINK THEY'RE DONE.
I THINK THEY'RE DONE.
THEY'RE TOO DONE.
THEY'RE TOO DONE.
OH, THEY'RE‐‐IT'S TOO HOT
ON THE BOTTOM.
GUYS, YOU'VE GOT 30 MINUTES
LEFT IN THE CHALLENGE.
LOOK AT THAT.
GETTING VERY CLOSE HERE.
WE'RE, UH,
WE'RE PUSHING ALONG.
WE GOT SOME GOOD‐TASTING FOOD
OVER THERE.
THIS ONE CONGEALED,
BUT WE'LL JUST LET IT.
GUYS, THERE'S 15 MINUTES
LEFT ON THE CLOCK.
IF YOU ARE NOT FINISHING UP
RIGHT NOW,
YOU SHOULD BE
VERY, VERY WORRIED.
ALL OF THE ASHES
ARE GETTING INTO THIS.
GRAVY SHOULD DEFINITELY
GO ON THAT.
OH, YEAH, THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY
GO ON THE BEEF. THAT'S GREAT.
THERE IS FIVE MINUTES LEFT
IN THE COMPETITION.
YOU NEED TO START PLATING
YOUR DISHES.
BE CARFUL
WITH THE BISCUIT.
THAT'S THE ONLY ONE
WE HAVE THAT'S WHOLE.
I REALLY THINK THE BEEF
GRAVY WOULD BE A LOT BETTER.
IT WOULD MAKE THE PLATE
MORE SOLID,
'CAUSE IT TIES
THE FLAVORS TOGETHER.
BUT IT'S PERFECT
FOR BISCUITS.
I THINK THAT SAUSAGE GRAVY WITH
THE BISCUIT IS GONNA BE GREAT,
AND I THINK NO ONE ELSE IS GONNA
HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
ONE MINUTE LEFT
IN THE COMPETITION.
WHEN I CALL TIME, YOU NEED
TO HAVE YOUR FINISHED DISHES
STANDING IN FRONT
OF YOUR CAMPFIRE.
OOH,
SWEET VICTORY.
TEN, NINE, EIGHT,
SEVEN, SIX, FIVE,
FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.
THAT'S IT. TIME'S UP.
STOP WORKING.
GRAB YOUR PLATES AND LINE UP.
I GOT A CHANCE
TO LOOK AT LAURENT'S PLATE.
THEIR PLATE LOOKED GREAT,
BUT OUR PLATE ALSO LOOKED GREAT.
WITHOUT A DOUBT,
IT'S BETWEEN US TWO.
TEAMS, I WOULD LIKE
TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO TWO VERY SPECIAL COWBOYS
JOEL AND FRANK.
NOW THESE TWO GENTLEMEN
ARE CARD‐CARRYING MEMBERS
OF SOMETHING CALLED THE AMERICAN
CHUCK WAGON ASSOCIATION.
AND TODAY
THEY ARE YOUR JUDGES.
ALL RIGHT, NOM NOM,
YOU GUYS ARE UP FIRST.
JENNIFER, COME UP
AND TELL US WHAT YOU GOT.
SO WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT
OF HOISIN‐GLAZED BEEF HERE,
A LITTLE BIT
OF A BUTTERED BISCUIT,
FRIED EGG, BEANS,
AND THEN FRIED POTATOES.
IN THE CUP
IS CARAMELIZED APPLES.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
WHY DON'T YOU CHOW DOWN
AND TELL US WHAT WE GOT.
HOW DO THESE GUYS EAT
WITH THEIR KNIVES?
ALL RIGHT,
SPENCER ON THE GO.
LAURENT, YOU'RE UP.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
ALL RIGHT,
GRILL 'EM ALL‐‐
JOEL, COME ON UP
AND TELL US WHAT YOU GOT.
FOR THE MAIN DISH,
WE HAVE A ROASTED BEEF
WITH PAN GRAVY,
POTATO HASH,
AND BARBECUE BEANS,
BACON BISCUIT
WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY ON TOP.
AND THEN FOR THE DESSERT,
WE DID SAUTéED APPLES
WITH BROWN SUGAR
AND MAPLE SYRUP GLAZE.
SO, FRANK AND JOEL, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS.
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS TAKE A SECOND
AND MAKE YOUR DECISION?
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU,
GENTLEMEN.
WE KNOW
WE WON'T BE ABLE TO COMPETE
WITH LAURENT'S 6‐COURSE MEAL.
THERE'S JUST SOME THINGS
THAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL,
AND YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK
TO THE FUTURE.
ALL RIGHT,
HERE COME OUR JUDGES, EVERYBODY.
JOEL AND FRANK
HAVE JUST COME BACK.
JOEL AND FRANK
HAVE JUST COME BACK.
THEY'RE GONNA
GIVE THEIR RESULTS
AND WE'RE FEELING PRETTY
CONFIDENT WE'RE GONNA WIN THIS.
SO YOU GUYS
HAVE OBVIOUSLY HAD A CHANCE
TO THINK ABOUT IT, RIGHT?
WE HAVE.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL START OFF
FIRST WITH NOM NOM.
SO WHAT DID YOU THINK
ABOUT THEIR FOOD?
REALLY LIKED THEIR MEAT‐‐
GOOD TEXTURE, TENDER,
GREAT FLAVOR.
BUT THE BEANS‐‐I COULDN'T
GET MUCH TASTE AT ALL.
AND THEN WHAT DID YOU THINK
ABOUT SPENCER ON THE GO?
SPENCER ON THE GO‐‐
I REALLY LIKED THE DESSERT.
THE LAVENDER IN THE DESSERT
WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
WE THOUGHT
THE CORN MUFFIN‐‐
IT JUST DIDN'T ADD
A WHOLE LOT.
GRILL 'EM ALL.
THEIR BEANS WERE‐‐
HAD A GOOD FLAVOR
BUT WERE
A LITTLE UNDERCOOKED.
THEY NEEDED TO STAY
IN THE WATER A LITTLE LONGER
BEFORE THEY WERE PUT ON
THE BAKE.
WE THOUGHT THAT DESSERT,
IT WASN'T OVERLY SWEET,
AND IT HAD A GOOD FLAVOR
TO IT.
SO, GENTLEMEN, YOU'VE EATEN
THOUSANDS OF CHUCK WAGON MEALS.
SO THE BIG QUESTION IS,
DO WE HAVE A WINNER?
TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION
ALL FIVE ITEMS ON THE PLATE,
OUR WINNER IS...
GRILL 'EM ALL.
YES!
OH!
CONGRATULATIONS,
GRILL 'EM ALL.
YOU GUYS HAVE WON
THE CHUCK WAGON TRUCK STOP.
GRABBED IT BY THE BALLS.
THANK YOU, TYLER.
THANK YOU, GUYS.
YOU GUYS
ARE NOW HEADED ONE TOWN OVER
WHERE THERE IS
A GIGANTIC AUTO SHOW
AND THOUSANDS OF HUNGRY
CUSTOMERS WAITING FOR YOU.
WE'VE RESERVED A SPOT
RIGHT IN FRONT.
I HOPE YOU SELL A LOT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
GUYS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
AND FOR THE REST OF YOU GUYS,
NOM NOM, SPENCER,
YOU GUYS ARE GONNA
HAVE TO FIGHT IT OUT
FOR WHOEVER IS HANGING AROUND
DOWNTOWN IN TOWN SQUARE.
I HAVE A FEELING
IT'S GONNA GET UGLY.
SELL HARD, MAKE SOME MONEY,
AND LET'S GET ROLLIN'.
- YEAH!
- YEAH!
LET'S GO.
YOU'RE WASTING THE DAY.
IT FEELS AMAZING.
DUDE,
TRUCK STOP NUMBER TWO.
WE'RE ACTUALLY
IN THIS COMPETITION NOW.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
TIGHT RIDES, DUDE.
THIS WAS KICK‐ASS.
THIS WAS OUR SCENE, MAN.
GRILL 'EM ALL
WINS A COMPETITION,
AND THEY GET TO GO WHERE
THERE'S THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
I CAN HELP WHO'S FIRST.
AND SPENCER AND US
END UP GETTING A TRIP
BACK TO JONESBOROUGH,
WHERE THE TOWN
COULD BE SHUT DOWN IN TWO HOURS.
- WE'RE OPEN!
- STILL HOT.
BUMMED, DEFLATED,
KICKED IN THE TEETH‐‐
YEAH, IT SUCKS.
GIVE ME
A BREAK.
GOT A BEHEMOTH WALKING UP.
SO I'M GONNA HAVE
FOUR BEHEMOTHS AND ONE WITTY
COMING OUT ALL DAY.
LIVINGSTON,
I GOT YOUR BEHEMOTH HERE.
HOLY.
THE LINE IS HUMUNGOUS.
I CAN'T TELL
WHERE IT ENDS.
WE OPENED UP THE GATES
BECAUSE WE HAD TO.
I MEAN, WE HAD A HUGE LINE
FORMING ALREADY.
LET ME GET THREE
WASTE 'EM ALLS WITH BACON.
WALKING IN,
I GOT A TITAN
WITH JUST CHEESE
AND LETTUCE AND TWO FRIES.
SLOW DOWN
A LITTLE BIT, PLEASE.
TITAN'S JUST
A REGULAR CHEESEBURGER‐‐
KETCHUP, LETTUCE, TOMATO,
PICKLE AND CHEESE.
RICK!
KYLE!
DUSTIN!
NONSTOP‐‐
IT WAS INSANE!
HERE'S YOUR
WASTE 'EM ALL.
EVERYBODY WAITING FOR FRENCH
FRIES, THEY'RE JUST ABOUT UP.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.
FIVE‐‐FIVE FRIES ALL DAY.
I MEAN, THERE'S NO WAY
THAT THESE GUYS
IN THAT TINY LITTLE TOWN
OF JONESBOROUGH
ARE DOING AS WELL AS US.
I THINK THE FRENCH FRIES
ARE THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD.FOR US?
LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS THAT
BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY, AMERICA.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH DEAD NOW
AFTER 8:00.
I'VE JUST NEVER SEEN A TOWN
CLEAR OUT SO QUICKLY.
NO ONE'S HUNGRY
AFTER 8:00 P. M.
GRILL 'EM ALL MIGHT BE
JUST KILLING IT.
I NEED 35
OF THE REGULAR BURGERS
ALL THE WAY‐‐WHATEVER
YOU'VE GOT ON THEM.
YOU NEED 35 CHEESEBURGERS?
GIVE ME TEN MORE.
TEN MORE?
- YEP.
- ARE YOU SERIOUS?
45 TITANS.
OH, MY GOD.
I LOVE THIS LADY!
WALKING IN,
WE GOT 45 TITANS.
40!
40 BUCKS WORTH OF POMME FRITES...
FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
I'VE EVER MET‐‐CANDY!
CANDY, CANDY, CANDY!
$300 IN LITERALLY 2 MINUTES.
THERE'S NO WAY THAT NOMS
AND SPENCER DONE THAT MUCH.
GUYS, I'VE GOT 40 PEOPLE NEEDING
THEIR BURGERS AND FRIES.
HUSTLE UP!
WE'RE BUYING 45 HAMBURGERS
FOR ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS.
WHOO!
VOLUNTEERS WORK BETTER
WHEN THEIR BELLIES ARE FULL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
THERE'S NO ONE
OUT HERE RIGHT NOW.
GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE
TO CLOSE DOWN NOW.
OKAY, GUYS.
BE STRONG!
TOMORROW IS GONNA BE
OUR BIG SELLING DAY.
WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED
TO, LIKE, WORK ALL DAY LONG.
IF THEY DON'T COME,
THEN WE'RE SCREWED.
LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND, LIKE,
GET EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED.
WE NEED TO PREP FOR AT LEAST
AN HOUR OR SO TODAY.
WE NEED TO PREP FOR AT LEAST
AN HOUR OR SO TODAY.
SO IT'S DAY THREE,
AND NOM NOM
MIGHT BE IN LAST PLACE.
THIS IS UNCHARTERED WATERS
FOR ALL OF US.
THIS IS GOOD.
GOOD MORNING, SIR.
IT'S GAME DAY.
NO MORE COMING IN FOURTH
OR FIFTH, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T.
THERE'S ONLY
THREE OF US LEFT,
SO YOU HAVE TO BE
IN THE TOP TWO.
LET'S MOVE THE TRUCK UP
A LITTLE BIT
SO THE "NOMMERS"
CAN'T GET IN HERE.
WE NEED TO GO AND, LIKE,
GET OUR FOOD FAST.
WE ARE OUT
OF ALMOST EVERYTHING,
AND WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE
A QUICK STOP TO THE STORE
TO STOCK UP ON SUPPLIES.
YESTERDAY, WE ONLY GOT
ONE THING OF TORTILLAS.
NOW WE'RE GETTING FOUR, SO WE'RE
GETTING KIND OF QUADRUPLE
THE AMOUNT OF SUPPLIES
AS WE DID YESTERDAY.
IT IS A GAMBLE
TO SPEND THAT MUCH.
HOWEVER, IT'S ALSO A HUGE LOSS
IF WE RUN OUT OF FOOD,
AND IT'S BETTER TO HAVE TOO MUCH
THAN TOO LITTLE.
LET'S START SELLING
LIKE WILDFIRE.
IT'S ALL ABOUT TO HAPPEN, MAN.
A TITAN? SURE THING.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!
FIRST SALE OF THE DAY.
THANK YOU.
THIS IS A FIRST
IN THIS WHOLE COMPETITION.
WE'RE ACTUALLY OPEN
BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE.
WE GOT STARTED
AT, LIKE, 11:30.
WALKING IN, WE GOT
A TITAN AND A BRUNCH BEAST.
HEY NOW! HEY NOW! HEY NOW!
AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
WE HAVE A LINE.
WE'VE JUST DONE $22
IN SALES IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES.
AND THE WHOLE TIME
THIS IS GOING ON,
THE NOM NOM TRUCK IS, LIKE,
NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.
EVERYTHING'S COMING UP
GRILL 'EM ALL.
THAT'LL BE $15, CAROL.
WE'RE EATING
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES,
AND THEY'RE VERY GOOD‐‐
VERY GOOD.
I'D SAY DELICIOUS.
DUDE, IT'S AMAZING‐‐
ALL THOSE PEOPLE
IN FRONT OF THE SPENCER TRUCK
ARE EATING OUR BURGERS.
NOM NOM PULLED UP.
YEAH, WHERE
HAVE THEY BEEN?
SHOWED UP LATE
TO THE DANCE.
WE'RE PREPPING
AS FAST AS WE CAN.
HI, THERE. WE'RE GONNA BE OPEN
AROUND 12:45.
I'VE SEEN $200 OR $300
WALK BY.
TIME IS MONEY.
WE HAVE TO OPEN
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
ARE WE READY TO SERVE?
NO.
LOOKS LIKE
THE CHURCH CROWD IS OUT.
OH.
ONE TITAN.
WE GOT SIMMONS.
HI, I'M GONNA HAVE A TITAN
WITHOUT THE PICKLE.
ALL RIGHT, SOLID PACE.
I THINK ALL THREE OF US
GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATED
HOW AMAZING JONESBOROUGH
WAS GONNA BE.
AFTER THIS CHURCH RUSH,
IF IT EVER STOPS,
WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE
TO BUY A LOT MORE STUFF,
BECAUSE WE ARE, LIKE,
ALMOST OUT OF BURGERS.
PEOPLE ARE EXCITED TO SEE US.
THEY WANT TO TRY OUR FOOD.
IT'S AMAZING.
THAT'LL BE $10, MARGE.
IT'S 12:20, AND YOU
DON'T OPEN TILL 12:45,
AND SO YOU'VE LOST
A BIG CHURCH CROWD.
NOM NOM TRUCK HAS NO LINE,
AND THEY'RE TOTALLY PISSED OFF.
YEAH, GRILL 'EM ALL AND SPENCERS
BOTH HAVE A 10‐PERSON LINE.
SO WE
JUST GOTTA GET MOVING.
WHEN I CAME DOWN HERE
FROM SERVICE,
WE WENT TO NOM NOM,
AND THEY WEREN'T OPEN,
SO WE COULDN'T WAIT THAT LONG,
SO WE CAME UP HERE
TO SPENCER ON THE GO.
DO YOU GUYS THINK WE'RE READY
TO OPEN RIGHT NOW? YEAH.
YEAH, I THINK SO.
OKAY, COOL. OKAY,
WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
LET'S SEE.
I WANT TO HAVE THE GARLIC
CHICKEN SANDWICH, PLEASE.
WE'RE RUNNING LOW
ON EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW.
WELL, THAT MEANS WE'RE DOING
REALLY WELL IN SALES.
WE'RE OUT.
THIS IS THE LAST BEHEMOTH.
ALL RIGHT,
ALL THE BURGERS WE HAVE LEFT
ARE CURRENTLY ON THE GRILL.
HI, FOLKS,
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES
OF OPENING UP,
A LINE OF 20 OR 30 PEOPLE
SUDDENLY STARTS TO FORM.
$18 IS YOUR TOTAL.
JUST LIKE THAT, NOM NOM TRUCK
IS BACK IN THE GAME.
- WE RAN OUT OF BACON.
- RAN OUT OF ONIONS.
RAN OUT OF PICKLES.
RUNNING OUT OF JALAPEÑOS.
MAYBE WE NEED
TO STOP THE LINE.
SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
13 BURGERS TO SELL.
SO I JUST DON'T, LIKE, WANT
ANYBODY WAITING FOR NOTHING.
THE THING THAT STINKS
ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF FOOD
IS THAT WE HAD TO CLOSE
OUR GATES ON CUSTOMERS.
SLIDERS. THE LINE
IS 20 PEOPLE LONG NOW.
SLIDERS AND THE TOMATOES
FOR TIM.
BE RIGHT WITH YOU,
MA'AM.
THERE'S THREE CATFISH,
TWO TOMATO, TWO SLIDERS.
SO ALL IN ALL, SHUTTING DOWN,
IT'S GOTTA BE ANYWHERE
FROM, LIKE, $300 TO $500
THAT WE LOST OUT ON.
WE GOT EVERYTHING?
IT LOOKS LIKE
WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING, MAN.
THE WAY WE'RE STOCKED
RIGHT NOW,
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOOD
FOR THE ENTIRE DAY.
DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT‐‐
PHENOMENAL.
WE GOT THE PORK SANDWICH‐‐
INCREDIBLE FLAVOR.
- PORK SANDWICH.
- 98.
I JUST HEARD
FROM A CUSTOMER
THAT GRILL 'EM ALL
HAD TO GET MORE FOOD...
OH, REALLY?
SO THAT'S GOING TO TAKE, LIKE,
AN HOUR TO AN HOUR AND A HALF.
THANK YOU.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
WHAT IS THAT?
OH, WHEW.
YEAH, AND I'M NOT EVEN
DONE COUNTING YET.
THERE'S NO EUPHEMISM
FOR "LOSER," IS THERE?
THERE IS A EUPHEMISM
FOR "LOSER."
IT'S GRILL 'EM ALL.
I'M JUST KIDDING!
OH! GOD!
- OH, MY GOD!
- DUDE!
NO. LET ME PATTY UP
THE REST OF THESE.
IT'LL TAKE ME
FIVE MINUTES.
YEAH, THAT'S FINE.
THAT'S FINE.
I'LL DO BEHEMOTH BUNS.
THE CROWD'S STARTING
TO DIE DOWN.
DINNER RUSH HOUR HITS,
AND THERE IS NO RUSH WHATSOEVER.
IT'S DEAD RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS
DOWN THE STREET,
BUT IT'S ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE
PEAK DINNER HOUR.
EVERY BURGER'S GOTTA GO.
COOL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT LAURENT, JOHN,
AND JESSE ARE DOING.
IT SEEMS LIKE
THEY'RE KIND OF RELAXED,
BUT WE'RE ON THE OPPOSITE
OF THAT.
HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON,
GUYS?
DO YOU KNOW IF THERE'S, LIKE,
ANY OFFICERS IN THE AREA?
IF THEY WANT TO STOP
BY OUR TRUCK,
WE'LL GIVE 'EM DISCOUNTS
AND STUFF.
WE'LL LET 'EM KNOW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR.
THANK YOU.
THESE LAST 15 MINUTES
COULD MAKE THE GAME FOR US.
THIS IS OUR BEST SELLER.
WE'VE MADE ABOUT $1,800 TODAY.
HOWEVER, EVERYONE ELSE
WAS BUSY, TOO.
THIS IS REALLY THE FIRST TIME
WHERE WE HAVEN'T FELT VERY SAFE
IN THE COMPETITION.
I REALLY DON'T WANT
TO GO HOME.
NEITHER DO I.
YEAH. WRAP IT UP.
GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE
TO CLOSE DOWN NOW.
AND THERE'S REALLY JUST
NO ONE OUT ANYMORE.
THERE'S NO ONE OUT
ANYMORE.
- HEY, MAN.
- WHAT'S UP, GUYS?
YOU WANT TO DO, UH, LIKE,
TEN BURGERS IN A MINUTE?
WE CAN DO TEN BURGERS.
THIS GUY ORDERED TEN BURGERS,
AND IT WAS EXACTLY TEN BURGERS
THAT WE HAD ON THE GRILL
AND TEN BURGERS
THAT WE HAD LEFT.
GOD, MAN, I LOVE THIS CITY
SO MUCH.
HERE YOU GO.
GOD, MAN, I LOVE THIS CITY
SO MUCH.
HERE YOU GO.
ALL RIGHT,
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH,
GUYS.
I THINK
WE COULD GET NUMBER ONE.
I ALSO THINK
WE COULD BE GOING HOME.
IT'S THE WEIRDEST FEELING
EVER.
GUYS, HERE WE ARE AGAIN,
OUR FIFTH
"GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"
ELIMINATION.
IF YOU MAKE IT
THROUGH TODAY,
YOU'LL BE COMPETING
ONE‐ON‐ONE
- FOR $50,000.
- ALL RIGHT. WHOO!
SO THESE THREE DAYS
IN JONESBOROUGH
DIDN'T GO THE WAY
ANYBODY EXPECTED.
IT IS, BY FAR,
THE SMALLEST CITY WE VISITED.
BUT GET THIS‐‐
EACH TEAM MADE MORE MONEY HERE
THAN ANY CITY SO FAR.
WE KNEW THAT WE'D BROKEN
OUR PREVIOUS RECORD,
BUT EVERYBODY BEAT
THEIR PREVIOUS RECORD.
IT'S GONNA COME DOWN TO,
I THINK, A VERY CLOSE RACE HERE.
I HAVE YOUR SALES TOTALS
RIGHT HERE‐‐
WHO MADE THE MOST,
WHO MADE THE LEAST,
AND WHO IS OUT
OF THE RACE.
WE'RE NOT FEELING
SUPER CONFIDENT
ABOUT WHERE WE STAND
IN THE COMPETITION.
IT'S JUST SO HARD TO TELL
AT THIS POINT. WE DID OUR BEST.
AND WE JUST HOPE
THAT WE AREN'T GOING HOME.
SO ARE YOU GUYS READY TO FIND
OUT WHO'S OUT OF THE RACE?
YEAH.
IN FIRST PLACE
WITH A TOTAL OF...
$3,117...
THE NOM NOM TRUCK.
WHAT THE?
FIVE IN A ROW‐‐
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
OH, MY GOD.
GET OUT OF HERE, MAN!
WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT!
SO IT'S AMAZING, GUYS.
YOU HAVEN'T WON
A SINGLE TRUCK STOP,
AND YOU COME IN FIRST PLACE
IN EVERY SINGLE CITY.
I'M JUST SO PROUD
OF US
AND EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE DONE
AND THAT WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
TO THE FINAL CITY!
SO AFTER THREE DAYS
IN JONESBOROUGH,
I'M SURE YOU GUYS
HAVE SEEN MOST OF IT.
SO OUR GOOD FRIENDS
AT ORBITZ
ARE GIVING YOU
FIRST‐CLASS AIRLINE TICKETS
AND LUXURIOUS HOTEL ROOMS
ANYWHERE IN TENNESSEE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
ABOUT THE NOM NOM TRUCK ANYMORE.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN
THEIR TRUCK
JUST TO TAKE
ALL THOSE VACATIONS.
CONGRATULATIONS.
HERE'S YOUR PRIZE
FROM ORBITZ. WAY TO GO.
THANK YOU.
SO IT ALL COMES DOWN
TO THIS.
ALL RIGHT.
ONE OF YOU TWO
WILL BE BATTLING OUT
WITH NOM NOM
FOR $50,000.
AND FOR THE OTHER TEAM,
IT'S THE END OF THE GAME
RIGHT NOW.
OH, MY GOD.
ARE YOU GUYS NERVOUS?
YEAH.
LET ME MAKE YOU
A LITTLE MORE NERVOUS.
AFTER THREE DAYS OF COOKING
AND SELLING AT JONESBOROUGH,
THE TWO OF YOU TEAMS
ARE WITHIN $40 OF EACH OTHER.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU'VE GOT
TO BE KIDDING ME.
LESS THAN $40 RIGHT NOW
SEPARATING US
AND GRILL 'EM ALL.
I CAN'T HANDLE THAT
RIGHT NOW.
$40 SEPARATES THE TEAM
THAT'S MOVING ON FROM THE TEAM
THAT'S GOING HOME.
GRILL 'EM ALL,
YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE
YOU'RE ABOUT TO PASS OUT.
I'M READY TO THROW UP.
YOU HAD TWO HARD DAYS HERE,
SOME FANTASTIC SALES.
YOU THINK IT'S ENOUGH
TO PUT YOU OVER THE TOP?
LET'S HOPE SO, MAN.
WE DID OUR BEST.
IT'S GONNA BE NUTS.
SO YOU GUYS
ARE READY TO DO THIS?
YEAH, LET'S DO IT.SURE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE
A DEEP BREATH.
IN SECOND PLACE,
MOVING ONTO THE BIG FINALE...

I'M SO SORRY.
YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT THERE
TILL THE VERY END.
YOU HAD A GRAND TOTAL
OF $2,726.
AND YOU WERE EXACTLY $37
LESS THAN GRILL 'EM ALL.
37 BUCKS!
I MEAN, THAT'S INSANE.
BUT A WIN'S A WIN,
AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS.
IT'S $37
THAT WE MISSED THE CHANCE
OF $50,000‐‐
REALLY, REALLY HURTS.

TO SEE YOU GO,
BUT IT'S TIME TO LOAD UP
AND HEAD HOME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WHOO‐HOO!
SO I BET YOU GUYS CAN GUESS
WHERE THIS RACE IS HEADING NEXT.
WE ARE HEADED
600 MILES NORTHEAST
TO NEW YORK CITY.
BUT I PROMISE YOU,
EVERYTHING YOU THINK
YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS RACE
IS ABOUT TO CHANGE.
GREAT.
NOW THAT IT'S US AND NOM,
LIKE, IT IS ON, MAN.
WE'RE BRINGING OUR "A" GAME
TO NEW YORK CITY.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA EVEN KNOW
WHAT HIT 'EM, MAN.
IT'S GONNA BE A FURY OF BURGERS
EVERYWHERE.
WE'RE GONNA JUST WORK
OUR NOM NOM MAGIC.
GRILL 'EM ALL
