The Great Food Truck Race (2010–…): Season 3, Episode 5 - Music City Madness - full transcript
PREVIOUSLY ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
EIGHT TEAMS
OF FOOD TRUCK ROOKIES
AND THEIR DREAM TRUCKS
BEGAN A MAD DASH
FROM LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA...
FROM LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA...
TO FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS.
HALF THE TRUCKS HAVE
ALREADY GONE BY THE WAYSIDE...
NOT GONNA STOP ME
FROM PURSUING MY DREAMS
OF OWNING A FOOD TRUCK.
LEAVING FOUR WILDLY DIFFERENT
TEAMS IN THE RUNNING
TO KEEP THEIR FOOD TRUCK
AND TAKE HOME $50,000.
OUR GRANDMAS WOULD BE
SO PROUD OF US RIGHT NOW.
THERE ARE THE GUYS FROM
THE KOREAN SEOUL SAUSAGE TEAM.
KIMCHI FRIED CHEESY BALLS!
WHO DOMINATED
THE FIRST THREE WEEKS...
I KNOW
WHAT THE KEY'S FOR!
BUT GOT A RUDE AWAKENING
IN ARKANSAS.
IN FIRST PLACE‐‐
NONNA'S KITCHENETTE.
YAY!
YOU'VE GOT ALASKA'S
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB...
THERE'S YOUR WINGS.
THANK YOU.
WHICH SQUEAKED BY
AFTER A CARELESS ACCIDENT.
OH!
THIS IS REALLY BAD.
THERE'S POP‐A‐WAFFLE...
WHOSE POSITIVE ATTITUDE
AND ENTHUSIASM...
P‐A‐T!
MASKS THE FACT THEY'VE NEVER
FINISHED HIGHER THAN THIRD.
YOU GUYS LIKE FAJITA WAFFLES?
WE'VE GOT 'EM RIGHT OVER HERE.
AND THEN THERE ARE
THE JERSEY GIRLS
OF NONNA'S KITCHENETTE...
WHO WILL NOT GIVE UP THEIR
FOOD TRUCK WITHOUT A FIGHT...
NO, NO, NO, WE WERE HERE FIRST.
THAT'S NOT A DEAL.
LITERALLY.
SHE APPROACHES ME, HER HEAD'S
GONNA BE IN THE CEMENT.
NOW THE RACE COMES
TO NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
ONLY FOUR TRUCKS REMAIN,
BUT NOT FOR LONG.
WHO WILL GO HOME NEXT?
I'M TYLER FLORENCE, AND THIS IS
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
LET'S GET ROLLIN'.
FOOD TRUCK ROAD TRIP!
- SECOND PLACE, TED.
- DUDE.
HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THAT?
SCREW THAT, MAN.
DUDE, THIS‐‐
THIS WEEK WE'RE GONNA
FRICKIN' COME HARDER.
I LIKE IT.
I CAME HERE TO WIN.
I WANTED TO MAKE MY FOLKS PROUD,
MYSELF PROUD, MY FRIENDS.
THIS IS A ONCE‐IN‐A‐LIFETIME
OPPORTUNITY,
AND I'M NOT GONNA WASTE IT.
YOU KNOW HOW WE'VE BEEN
PARTNERING UP WITH PEOPLE, TED?
YEAH, YEAH.
THAT WORKS GREAT AND ALL
WITH SMALL CITIES,
BUT I THINK THIS WEEKEND'S
GONNA BE KIND OF LIKE‐‐
EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE DOING
THE SOLO THING, YOU KNOW?
LOCATION'S GONNA BE
PRETTY CRITICAL THIS WEEK.
TOP FOUR.
- WE MADE IT.
- I THINK ME AND TIFFANY
HAVE DEFINITELY FOUND
OUR LITTLE SPARK.
WE'RE NOT HERE JUST TO SUPPORT
YOU ANYMORE. WE WANT TO WIN.
MY MOM QUIT HER JOB.
AND TO SEE HER GO FROM THIS SAD
AND DEPRESSED PERSON
TO THIS HAPPY PERSON
WHO HAS THAT LIGHT AGAIN‐‐
THAT'S HUGE.
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE PERSON
THAT SHE HAS BECOME ON THIS TRIP
IN YEARS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE SURVIVED
FAYETTEVILLE.
WE ENDED UP VERY LUCKY.
CAN'T AFFORD TO MAKE MISTAKES
LIKE THAT AGAIN THIS WEEKEND.
I WANT OUR MENU PRICES
UP THIS WEEK.
WE'RE IN A BIG CITY.
IF WE CAN GET
OUR CHECKS HIGHER,
THAN I THINK WE CAN DO
REALLY WELL THIS WEEKEND.
IF WE DID, LIKE,
YOUR MEAT WITH 2 SIDES,
LIKE, $15.
WE ARE SO CLOSE
TO THE END OF THIS RACE.
AND I CAN SEE US IN THE FINALE.
I CAN SEE US
WINNING THE ENTIRE THING.
THIS IS SOMETHING I DREAMED OF,
SOMETHING I'VE WANTED.
AND I'M SO PROUD THAT WE WORKED
TOGETHER AS A TEAM
WITH NO EXPERIENCE.
PEOPLE LOVE
OUR MEATBALLS,
AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THEM
IN EVERY CITY.
AND PEOPLE ARE COMING TO US
FOR MEATBALLS.
I DON'T THINK WE CAN EVER TAKE
THAT OFF THE MENU AT THIS POINT.
WE'RE IN THE FINAL FOUR.
WHAT?!
HOW DID WE
EVER MAKE IT THIS FAR?
I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT.
THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE.
WHAT A MINUTE, BOB,
AREN'T WE GOING TO NASHVILLE?
I THOUGHT WE WERE,
BUT APPARENTLY WHERE TYLER
IS SENDING US IS NOT...
WE JUST PASSED
NASHVILLE.
SO, TYLER,
NASHVILLE'S BACK THERE.
YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK
YOUR G. P. S.
IS THIS SOME SORT OF SPEED BUMP
WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT?
MAYBE HE GAVE US
THE WRONG ADDRESS.
SHOULD WE CALL HIM?
WHAT'S UP, GUYS?
WHAT'S UP, FINAL FOUR?
WELCOME TO TENNESSEE!
YOU GUYS
ARE ALL ONE STEP CLOSER
TO WINNING YOUR OWN FOOD TRUCK
AND $50,000!
BUT, GUYS, THIS IS
THE POINT IN THE RACE
WHERE YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO
MAKE THE LONG, LONELY TRIP HOME.
SO BE SMART, AND DON'T LET
A DUMB MISTAKE TRIP YOU UP.
THERE'S ONLY FOUR TEAMS LEFT,
SO THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ERROR.
WE HAVE TO MAKE EVERY MINUTE,
EVERY SALE,
EVERY DOLLAR COUNT.
NOW FAYETTEVILLE
WAS A BRUTAL STOP,
AND THAT ELIMINATION
WAS A GUT CHECK FOR EVERYONE.
AND HOPEFULLY
THERE WON'T BE
ANOTHER DEMOLITION DERBY
HERE IN NASHVILLE.
YOU'RE ALL GONNA
HAVE TO RAISE YOUR GAME
IF YOU WANT TO STAY
IN THIS RACE.
THERE'S NO MORE HIDING
IN FOURTH PLACE.
THE FOURTH PLACE TEAM HERE
HANDS ME THEIR KEYS.
OKAY, GUYS, LET'S GET
THE BUSINESS OVER WITH.
I'VE GOT YOUR SEED MONEY
RIGHT HERE.
IT'S $300.
$300 IN A BIG CITY
DOES NOT SEEM
LIKE THAT MUCH MONEY.
SO I'M A LITTLE BIT SCARED,
AND I NEED TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE REALLY CAUTIOUS
WITH OUR SHOPPING THIS WEEK.
NOW THIS IS WHERE
I NORMALLY TEASE YOU
ABOUT A TRUCK STOP COOKING
CHALLENGE, BUT WE NEVER DO IT.
THAT CHANGES TODAY,
BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA COOK
RIGHT HERE,
RIGHT NOW.
WHOO‐HOO!
BUT BEFORE WE DO,
I WANT TO TELL YOU
A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHERE WE ARE.
THIS ISN'T JUST A NICE,
LITTLE FARM SOUTH OF NASHVILLE.
THIS IS THE HOME OF MY GOOD
FRIENDS JOEY AND RORY FEEK.
JOEY AND RORY
AREN'T JUST SOLID CITIZENS
AND FARMERS
HERE IN POTTSVILLE.
THEY ALSO HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF
NASHVILLE'S HOTTEST MUSIC ACTS.
WE'RE AT JOEY AND RORY'S FARM.
VERY COOL. I ACTUALLY LOVE
THE SONGS THEY WRITE,
SO NOW I'M EXCITED.
JOEY AND RORY LOVE
DOWN‐HOME COUNTRY FARE.
SO YOUR CHALLENGE TODAY
IS TO IMPRESS THEM
BY CREATING
A PICNIC LUNCH
THAT'S WORTHY
OF THIS NECK OF THE WOODS.
THIS CHALLENGE IS
DEFINITELY A LITTLE DAUNTING.
I'M NOT SURE IF JOEY AND RORY
HAVE TRIED KOREAN FLAVORS.
WE'RE NOT FROM THE SOUTH,
SO WE DON'T EXACTLY KNOW
A SOUTHERN MEAL.
THERE'S A TINY,
LITTLE FARMERS' MARKET
DOWN THE ROAD THAT WAY.
YOU'LL HAVE AN HOUR
TO GO OVER THERE, SHOP,
PREPARE YOUR MEAL,
AND PRESENT IT.
ONE HOUR
IS JUST NOT ENOUGH TIME.
IT TAKES US THAT LONG JUST TO
PREP. FORGET, LIKE,
TRYING TO SHOP FOR IT, NOT
KNOWING WHAT THEY HAVE THERE.
JOEY AND RORY WILL TASTE
YOUR DISHES AND PICK A WINNER.
AND THAT TEAM
WILL WIN A REWARD
THAT I PROMISE YOU
YOU'RE GONNA WANT.
THAT'S BECAUSE IT WILL
ALL BUT GUARANTEE
YOU'LL MOVE ON
TO THE NEXT CITY.
WHATEVER THE PRIZE IS
FOR THIS CHALLENGE, WE NEED IT.
WE'RE THE ONLY TEAM
THAT HAS NOT WON A CHALLENGE.
LET'S GET ROLLIN'!
LET'S DO IT!
WE MIGHT JUST HAVE
TO DITCH THE WAFFLE CONCEPT.
CHEF ANTHONY,
IF HE STAYS ON A COURSE
OF, LIKE, PICNIC FARE
AND DOES IT GREAT
AND CHANGES IT UP JUST ENOUGH
TO MAKE PEOPLE GO,
"OH, THAT'S FANTASTIC."
THE BURGER
WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO‐‐
WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO
OUR GARLIC WITH CORN.
THE PASTA SALAD THEN WE'RE GONNA
NEED, LIKE, GOAT CHEESE.
BUT YEAH,
I WAS GONNA SAY...
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PRAY
THAT THEY HAVE THESE CHEESES.
THAT'S WHAT
I'M STRESSED ABOUT
IS ITALIAN FOOD
HAS SO MUCH CHEESE IN IT.
AS LONG AS THE FARMERS' MARKET
HAS WHAT WE NEED,
WE'LL STICK WITH THE HOT WINGS
AND OUR SLAW
AND THEN
THE SWEET POTATO FRIES.
IF THEY'VE GOT
SOME OF THE PRODUCT,
WE'LL DO, LIKE, A KOREAN
BARBECUE‐STYLE EMPANADA.
WE'LL DO, LIKE,
A POTATO SALAD
AND THEN
A MIXED FRUIT COBBLER.
THIS IS WHERE
YOU SHINE, CHRIS.
WE NEED, LIKE,
BASIL AND PARSLEY.
YOU HAVE
SWEET POTATOES?
YEAH.
THERE'S CHICKEN LEGS.
LET'S GET A CHICKEN BREAST.
I FIGURE, WHY NOT DO, LIKE,
A COLD FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH
AND THEN MAKE
A GREAT POTATO SALAD.
OH, THERE IS
NO BREAD.
THEY DO NOT HAVE BREAD.
ALL RIGHT.
SO I THINK IT MIGHT
JUST BE FRIED CHICKEN.
FRIED CHICKEN IT IS.
THERE'S NO BUTTER, BUT THERE'S,
LIKE, BUTTERMILK AND CHEESE
THAT YOU CAN MAKE
MACARONI AND CHEESE.
THIS MARKET IS SO TINY,
THEY DON'T HAVE BUTTER.
I DON'T KNOW ANY KIND
OF SOUTHERN COMFORT FOOD
THAT DOESN'T USE BUTTER.
SO MAYBE
THE PASTA SALAD
IS NOT THE WAY
TO GO RIGHT NOW.
SO THERE'S
NO SPINACH?
SO MAYBE WE NEED
TO DO MAC AND CHEESE.
SO GET
THE REGULAR ONES...
YEAH.
AND IF WE NEED THE BUTTERMILK,
WE'LL GRAB IT...
DO THE SHARP CHEDDAR.
AND GET CHEESE.
- WE'VE GOT PORK HERE.
- WE'LL TAKE MORE PORK.
YOU DON'T NEED MILK
OR CHEESE, RIGHT? MILK.
ANYTHING ELSE, LADIES?
I THINK WE'RE GOOD.
ALL RIGHT,
READY TO GO.
YOU'VE GOT
30 MINUTES LEFT.
WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING ON DOING
WITH THE CHICKEN THAT YOU GOT?
FRIED CHICKEN
WITH THE BUFFALO SAUCE ON IT.
WE'RE GONNA DO
THE BUFFALO CHIPOTLE SAUCE.
THE SLAW IS A FRESH‐MADE SLAW
WITH A LITTLE BIT
OF RED WINE VINEGAR.
AND SWEET POTATOES WITH
A BROWN SUGAR GLAZE ON THEM.
WE NEED TO MELT
THAT CHEESE, LIKE, NOW.
FOR THIS CHALLENGE WE'RE GONNA
BE MAKING AN ITALIAN BURGER
WITH ROASTED TOMATO, CHEESE,
AND CRUMBLED BACON,
GARLIC‐ROASTED CORN ON THE COB,
AND MAC AND CHEESE.
BE CAREFUL WITH THIS,
'CAUSE I DON'T WANT IT TO BURN.
- JUST LET THE CHICKEN SIT IN THERE.
- OKAY.
TODAY WE'RE GONNA DO
A CLASSIC SOUTHERN FRIED
CHICKEN, CORN ON THE COB,
WITH A MARKET VEGETABLE.
THIS IS PERFECT.
I DON'T HAVE TO USE
A WAFFLE FOR A CHANGE,
WHICH IS GREAT,
BECAUSE I HAVE MUCH MORE RANGE
THAN JUST THAT.
SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE BUTTER,
I'M MAKING A QUICK INFUSED OIL
THAT CONSISTS OF CHIVES, GARLIC,
PAPRIKA, SALT, AND PEPPER.
AND WE'RE GONNA USE A LITTLE BIT
OF THIS OVER THE CORN.
CAN YOU GIVE ME
SOME GARLIC?
YOU WANT ME
TO MINCE THOSE OR WHAT?
JUST GIVE IT TO ME.
I'LL DO IT REAL FAST.
I'M GOING TO DO
A DESSERT PIE.
THE PICNIC
THAT I'M GONNA MAKE
IS GONNA BE THE KOREAN
SPICY PORK EMPANADA,
THE COUNTRY POTATO SALAD.
WE'LL USE THE...
AS A MAYONNAISE BASE
FOR THE POTATO SALAD.
AND A DEEP‐FRIED
MIXED BERRY PIE‐‐
IT'S GONNA BE BOMB.
HOPEFULLY IT WORKS.
HEY, LADIES,
THIS IS JOEY AND RORY FEEK.
HI, GUYS, HOW ARE YOU?
THANKS FOR HAVING US
TODAY.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
HERE Y'ALL GO. HERE'S A BASKET.
WE WANT YOU TO FILL IT UP
AND GIVE US
SOME GOOD STUFF.
THEY'VE GOT
A GIFT FOR YOU‐‐
A PICNIC BASKET.
FILL IT UP.
HERE YOU GO.
- WE'VE GOT A BASKET FOR YOU.
- HERE YOU GO, BUDDY.
GUYS,
THIS IS RORY AND JOEY FEEK.
- OH, THANK YOU.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YES, YES.
HOW'D THAT SAUCE ON
THE CHICKEN END UP TURNING OUT?
IT'S NOT GONNA
LIGHT 'EM UP, IS IT?
IT MIGHT LIGHT 'EM
A LITTLE BIT.
ALL THE FINISHING
TOUCHES ON MY VEGETABLES.
HOW IS IT?
TAKE A...
IT'S HOT.
VERY GOOD, THOUGH.
GOOD.
- TEN...
- I'M GONNA START PLATING, GUYS.
NINE...
I THINK IT'S GOOD.
- EIGHT...
- WATCH OUT.
SEVEN...
IT'S COLORFUL.
IT'S BRIGHT.
- SIX...

FIVE...
COMING RIGHT UP.

THREE...
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
TWO...
ALL RIGHT.

WRAP IT UP, GUYS.
THE PICNIC COMPETITION
IS OVER.
COMING UP ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.
ALL RIGHT!
TELL YOUR TEAMMATES
THEY'RE OFF THE TRUCK.
YOU GUYS
ARE OUT.
I'M SO PISSED OFF.
I NEED
SOMEBODY BEHIND ME!
NOW I KNOW THIS IS GONNA BE
HARD FOR JOEY AND RORY.
BUT TODAY THEY'RE GONNA
TASTE ALL OF YOUR DISHES,
AND THEY'RE GONNA
PICK ONE WINNER.
ALL RIGHT,
CHRIS FROM SEOUL SAUSAGE,
ALL RIGHT,
CHRIS FROM SEOUL SAUSAGE,
COME ON UP AND TELL US
ABOUT YOUR PICNIC.
WE'VE GOT A KOREAN
SPICY PORK EMPANADA,
COUNTRY POTATO SALAD,
AND THEN WE'VE GOT
DESSERT PIE.
SO PLEASE ENJOY.
EVERYTHING HERE
IS REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
THIS POTATO SALAD
WAS REALLY AMAZING.
I LIKE THE APPLE
IN THERE
AND THAT BACON
AND ALL THE CRUNCH.
THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT FLAVOR
IN THE EMPANADA.
HONESTLY, I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT AN EMPANADA WAS.
WE'RE IN TENNESSEE.
I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE
ARE GONNA GO CRAZY
OVER SOMETHING
THAT THEY'RE
NOT USED TO.
NICE JOB.
LISA FROM NONNA'S KITCHENETTE,
COME ON UP.
I HAVE NEVER PREPARED A DISH
FOR A JUDGE,
NEVER MIND TWO AMAZING
COUNTRY MUSICIANS.
SO I AM REALLY NERVOUS
RIGHT NOW.
WOW.
HOLY SMOKES.
WE DID
THE ITALIAN BURGER,
WHICH HAS BREADCRUMBS,
PARSLEY, BASIL,
ROASTED TOMATO,
WHITE CHEDDAR.
AND THEN WE HAVE
A GARLIC ROASTED CORN.
AND THEN WE HAVE MAC AND CHEESE
WITH WHITE CHEDDAR,
SHARP CHEDDAR,
CRUMBLED BACON.
I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED
WITH THE HAMBURGER.
I LOVE ALL THE SPICES
ON TOP.
I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN
MAYBE A GREEN IN HERE.
THE MAC AND CHEESE WAS
A LITTLE BIT DRY TO ME.
ALL RIGHT, NICE JOB, GIRLS.
ANGELA FROM MOMMA'S
GRIZZLY GRUB, COME ON UP.
WE DID A CHIPOTLE BUFFALO
CHICKEN SAUCE,
A FRESH CRANBERRY AND ORANGE
COLESLAW,
AND BROWN SUGAR‐GLAZED
SWEET POTATOES.
THE CHICKEN WAS GREAT.
I LOVE THE SALTY
AND THE TANG AND THE LITTLE BIT
OF KICK IN SPICE.
I DIDN'T LOVE
THE COLESLAW AS MUCH.
EVEN THOUGH I LOVE SWEETS,
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TOO SWEET.
ANTHONY FROM POP‐A‐WAFFLE,
COME ON UP.
HELLO,
HOW ARE YA?
AH, DOING OKAY.
WHAT I HAVE IS CORN,
A MARKET GRILLED VEGETABLE,
AND THEN A PIECE
OF SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN.
YOU HAVE CHILI
IN THAT?
JUST A LITTLE
BIT, YES.
I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL
REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
I MEAN, IT FITS WELL
HERE IN TENNESSEE.
I THINK MAYBE THE CRUST
WAS A LITTLE BIT THICK.
I JUST PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE
BATTERED IT QUITE AS MUCH.
ALL RIGHT, JOEY AND RORY,
THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL
FOR THESE GUYS.
WHO'S IT GONNA BE?
COME ON, PLEASE.
THIS IS THE MOST NERVOUS
I'VE BEEN ALL COMPETITION LONG,
AND I'M JUST SERVING
TWO PEOPLE.
WE BOTH MADE A DECISION.
IT WASN'T EASY.
EVERYONE'S FOOD
WAS FANTASTIC.
BUT OUR CHOICE IS...
POP‐A‐WAFFLE.
YES!
OH, MY GOD.
YES!
WHAT?!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
WOW. WOW.
SHOCKED RIGHT NOW.
I JUST DIDN'T EXPECT
WAFFLE TO WIN.
SO YOUR REWARD.
BRING IT ON.
WELL, IT'S, UH, RORY'S
TAKAMINE GUITAR.
OH, WOW.
WHAT?
YOU WIN
HIS GUITAR.
IT'S A GUITAR.
OKAY.
SO I KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
HOW IS THAT GUITAR
GONNA HELP YOU WIN THE CITY?
WELL, THE ANSWER IS IT'S ALSO
WORTH $1,000 IN YOUR TILL.
WHAT?!
OH, AND, HEY,
THAT'S NOT ALL.
LATER ON TONIGHT,
JOEY AND RORY,
THEY'RE THROWING A LITTLE EVENT
HERE ON THEIR PROPERTY
FOR THEIR FANS AND NEIGHBORS.
AND THERE'S GONNA BE
ABOUT 1,500 PEOPLE HERE.
WHOO!
YOU GET THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT
TO SET UP
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE ACTION
AND SERVE EVERYBODY.
WHAT?!
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
$1,000 TOWARDS THEIR TILL
PLUS 1,500 PEOPLE TO SERVE FOR.
YEAH, MM‐HMM, WHO'S GONNA
TOP THAT RIGHT NOW?
NOW, POP‐A‐WAFFLE, THERE'S
A NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE
ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HERE
WHERE YOU CAN SHOP
AND GET READY FOR TONIGHT.
BUT HURRY
AND GET BACK HERE QUICKLY,
BECAUSE THE FANS START ARRIVING
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
NOW FOR THE REST OF YOU, YOU GET
TO GO BACK TO NASHVILLE TO SELL.
NASHVILLE'S AN HOUR NORTH
OF HERE.
YOU'VE GOT ALL WEEKEND.
MAKE THE MOST OF IT.
YOU'RE ALREADY $1,000
IN THE HOLE.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
LET'S GET IN OUR TRUCKS
AND LET'S GET ROLLIN'!
COMING UP...
TELL YOUR TEAMMATES
THEY'RE OFF THE TRUCK.
YOU GUYS ARE OUT.
I'M SO PISSED OFF.
ON THE TACOS,
WE'RE GONNA BUMP IT UP TO $7.
IT'S NOON ON DAY ONE
IN TENNESSEE,
AND NONNA'S KITCHENETTE,
SEOUL SAUSAGE,
AND MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB
ARE SCRAMBLING
TO MAKE THE HOUR‐LONG DRIVE
FROM TINY POTTSVILLE
BACK TO NASHVILLE.
WHEN WE GET THERE, YOU WILL NEED
TO PREP LOTS OF TRUFFLES.
BUT ALL POP‐A‐WAFFLE
NEEDS TO DO IS STOCK UP.
SO WE GOT MILK.
WE GOT EGGS. WE GOT BUTTERMILK.
AHH, YEAH.
CHICKEN!
THEY JUST WON
A $1,000 ADVANTAGE
ON JOEY AND RORY'S FARM,
AND NOW THEY GET
TO GO BACK THERE AND SELL
TO HUNDREDS
OF COUNTRY MUSIC FANS.
LOOK AT THE PEOPLE!
OH, MY GOSH.
WHOO!
WE GET BACK TO JOEY AND RORY'S.
THE CROWD HAS TRIPLED
AT THIS POINT.
DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE
THE DREDGING PROCESS?
A LITTLE
BUTTERMILK, THEN THAT,
AND THEN
IN THERE, YEAH.
AND THEN OVER.
ONE, TWO, THREE, YOU GOT IT.
WAFFLES!
WAFFLES! WAFFLES! WAFFLES!
THIS IS GONNA BE INSANE.
WE ARE SO BUSY.
NONSTOP ACTION ON THIS TRUCK.
THAT'S A SEOUL SAUSAGE SIGN
THAT THEY USED TO HAVE.
THERE SEEMS TO BE
KIND OF, LIKE,
A SMALL, LITTLE BLOCK PARTY
HAPPENING AT THIS PLACE
CALLED GREEN WAGON.
GREEN WAGON'S A LOCAL SHOP
IN EAST NASHVILLE
AT FIVE POINTS.
I'M FEELING REALLY, REALLY GOOD
ABOUT THIS LOCATION
AND ABOUT THIS PARTY.
HEY, IS THERE A POSSIBILITY
THAT WE COULD DO
AN EXCLUSIVE DEAL
WITH YOU GUYS?
THAT'D BE AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, GUYS.
DUDE, EXCLUSIVE!
I THINK TIFFANY'S DONE
A REALLY GOOD JOB
OF FINDING US CONNECTIONS
WHO WILL HELP US OUT.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT WORK
DOWNTOWN.
THERE'S A LOCAL
ICE CREAM SHOP
THAT WE WANT
TO PARK IN FRONT OF.
EVEN THOUGH IT'S A LITTLE BIT
LATER IN THE DAY,
WE'RE HOPING
WE CAN STILL GET THERE.
THERE SHOULD BE FOOT TRAFFIC.
IT'S BETTER THAN
NOT HAVING A SPOT AND WONDERING
WHERE WE'RE GOING.
I'M GONNA TELL MEGAN TO SAVE
A SPOT AT FIVE POINTS, JAC.
IF FIVE POINTS
DOESN'T WORK OUT,
WE CAN ALWAYS MOVE TO ONE
OF THE FOOD TRUCK ZONES
IF WE THINK
THAT'S GONNA BE BETTER.
OUR FRIEND MEGAN LIVES HERE
IN NASHVILLE,
AND SHE'S GOING TO SAVE US
A SPOT DOWN AT FIVE POINTS.
WHERE IS IT?
DOWNTOWN AREA.
IT'S A LOT OF HIPSTERS.
IT'S BARS,
RESTAURANTS.
THIS IS GREAT. WE CAN BE
RIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
WHERE'S THE LIST?
IT'S ON THE BACKSEAT.
WE DON'T WANT TO FORGET
SOMETHING.
KIMCHI BALLS‐‐
RICE, CHEESE, KIMCHI,
PORK,
GREEN ONIONS, GARLIC,
AND JALAPEÑO.
WE'RE MAKING ROOT BEER FLOATS,
SO WE NEED TO GET
OUR VANILLA ICE CREAM
AND OUR ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.
HOW MANY DO YOU WANT?
THREE.
40 POUNDS.
200 SERVINGS PER BOX.
EIGHT, NINE, TEN.
MEGAN JUST TEXTED ME.
WE HAVE A CORNER SPOT
AT FIVE POINTS. SHE SAID
IT'S THE BEST SPOT.
OH, AWESOME.
SO HOPEFULLY IT WORKS OUT.
THEN WE'LL TAKE IT.
SHE'S AWESOME.
HEY, HOW ARE YA?
CAN WE SNEAK UP HERE AND ASK
THESE FOLKS SOMETHING?
- COME RIGHT IN, RORY!
- THERE THEY ARE.
HEY, GUYS.
HOW YOU DOIN'?
HEY!
IT'S SELLING SO WELL.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO TASTE IT.
YOU GOT ANYTHING FOR US?
- OH, YEAH.
- I HAVE NEVER HAD CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.
OH, MY GOSH.
THESE WILL GO
STRAIGHT TO YOUR HIPS,
AND I'M TALKING TO YOU,
ALL RIGHT?
WHOO!
WE'RE SO HAPPY JOEY AND RORY
STOPPED BY THE TRUCK.
CHEF ANTHONY IS PREPARING
CHICKEN THE WAY THEY LIKE IT.
I DIDN'T DOUBLE‐DREDGE IT,
SO HOPEFULLY, UM,
HOPEFULLY
YOU GUYS LIKE IT.
OH, YEAH.
THAT'S DELICIOUS WITH THAT SYRUP
ON THERE, TOO.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
YOU TRY SOME OF THIS.
MM‐HMM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
WE'RE THE SEOUL SAUSAGE TRUCK.
WE'RE HERE
FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
WE'RE MAKING OUR
DEEP‐FRIED KIMCHI RICE BALLS
AND KOREAN BARBECUE BURGER.
I THINK THESE PEOPLE ARE REALLY
GONNA EMBRACE OUR FOOD.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE
SOME MONEY TODAY.
WE'VE GOT FOUR BURGERS
AND FIVE BALLS!
- FIVE BALLS!
- FIVE BALLS!
TWO BALLS FOR CHRIS.
NUMBERS ONE, TWO,
AND THREE,
YOUR ROOT BEER FLOATS!
SO WE'RE DOING OUR PIZZELLE
ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.
PIZZELLE
IS AN ITALIAN WAFFLE COOKIE,
MY FAVORITE COOKIE
SINCE I WAS THREE YEARS OLD.
OUR MENU FOR TONIGHT
IS GONNA BE
OUR ITALIAN MEATBALL SLIDERS,
WAFFLE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES...
IT'S GONNA MELT
AND BE DELICIOUS.
AND OUR ROOT BEER FLOATS
FOR $5.
THE WAFFLE IS $7. $19.
IT'S CONSISTENT
RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT CRAZY BUSY, THOUGH.
POP‐A‐WAFFLE HAS $1,000, PLUS
THEY'RE FEEDING 1,500 PEOPLE.
I JUST DON'T SEE CATCHING UP
TO THEM ANYTIME SOON.
GUYS, I'M GONNA GO TAKE A WALK
TO GET MORE PEOPLE.
- I'LL BE BACK.
- OKAY.
STOP. AND THEN IF YOU
WANT TO JUST PULL FORWARD
JUST A LITTLE.
FINALLY.
WE'VE GOT TACOS THAT'LL MAKE
YOUR HAIR STAND ON END!
WE'VE GOT HAND‐ROLLED
CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES,
COOL, CREAMY COLESLAW!
COME ON IN AND TRY IT!
I'M A LITTLE LEERY
ABOUT THE CROWD TONIGHT.
YOU KNOW,
WE DO HAVE CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE,
WHICH IS ALWAYS GREAT,
BUT WE'RE NOT SLAMMED.
TWO THINGS
OF BABY BEAR CHOCOLATE. OKAY.
AND I'LL TAKE
A MEDIUM LEMONADE.
I JUST HOPE THAT PEOPLE
ARE ACTUALLY DOWN HERE
AND THEY COME OUT.
WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
COME ON OVER!
ALL RIGHT, GENTS,
WE'VE GOT ABOUT 15 MINUTES LEFT.
WE HAVE GONE THROUGH OVER
TWO AND A HALF RECEIPT BOOKS.
THAT SOUNDS
LIKE MONEY TO ME.
IF DAY ONE IS ANY INDICATION
OF HOW OUR WEEKEND'S GONNA GO
HERE IN NASHVILLE,
DAY TWO‐‐BRING IT ON.
WE PROBABLY MADE EASILY
OVER ANOTHER $1,000...
EASILY.
IN ONE FELL SWOOP.
I'D BE SHOCKED,
STUNNED, FLOORED
IF WE DIDN'T MAKE IT
TO THE NEXT CITY
AFTER THE BUSINESS
THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING TODAY.
TOGETHER...
65.
- SHE'S THE LAST WAFFLE.
- YEP, THANK YOU.
IT'S ON ITS WAY OUT.
WE WERE FIRST LAST WEEK.
AND HE WE ARE NOT DOING AS WELL
AS WE COULD BE.
HOW DO YOU GO FROM SO HIGH
TO SO LOW?
THE POSITIVE THING
ABOUT TONIGHT
IS THAT WE USED OUR DOWNTIME,
AND WE PREPPED, LIKE,
200 MEATBALLS
FOR TOMORROW.
AWESOME, DUDE.
LAST ORDER.
TWO MORE.
LAST ORDER.
GOOD JOB, GUYS.
HEY, JUDY AND CHRISTIAN,
WE GOT YOU GUYS!
SOLID DAY TODAY. WE FED
EVERYONE HERE AT THE PARTY.
IF WE CAN KEEP OUR MOMENTUM
GOING LIKE THIS,
I REALLY THINK
WE HAVE A GOOD SHOT
AT CATCHING UP
TO POP‐A‐WAFFLES.
YEAH, WE'RE GONNA
BE HERE.
LET'S GO.
ONE, TWO, THREE!
WE'RE GONNA CALL IT
A NIGHT.
YEAH, THE PEOPLE AROUND HERE
JUST AREN'T VERY INTERESTED.
IT'S JUST ANOTHER FRUSTRATING
PIECE OF THIS DAY.
WE EXPECTED THE CROWDS
TO BE HERE,
AND THEY'RE JUST NOT.
I'M READY TO JUST START FRESH
TOMORROW.
GOOD NIGHT, NASHVILLE.
COMING UP...
I NEED SOMEBODY BEHIND ME!
A VAN HAS BACKED
INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.
DUDE, I THINK WE KILLED IT
YESTERDAY.
LET'S GO
TO THE SAME SPOT, MAN.I AGREE.
IT'S DAY TWO IN NASHVILLE,
AND THREE OF OUR FOUR TEAMS
ARE LOOKING TO REBOUND
AFTER A ROCKY SATURDAY.
LET'S GO TO THE PARK,
SEE HOW THAT HAPPENS.
SOUNDS GOOD.
NONNA'S KITCHENETTE IS HEADING
TO CENTENNIAL PARK
WHERE A MAJOR TRIATHLON
IS ALREADY UNDER WAY.
WE HAVE SO MUCH FOOD TO SELL.
THE ONLY GOOD‐‐
POSITIVE THING IS THAT WE HAVE
A TON OF FOOD PREPPED.
SEOUL SAUSAGE IS BACK
FOR ANOTHER DAY
AT THE GREEN WAGON...
STOP RIGHT HERE.
STOP RIGHT HERE.
BUT FIRST THEY HAVE TO RESTOCK
AT THE WAREHOUSE STORE.
HEY, JUST GIVE ME A HEADS UP
WHEN I GET CLOSE TO TRINITY.
YEAH, YEAH.
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB
HAS A PLAN TO TEAM UP
WITH A LOCAL DESSERT COMPANY
CALLED THE CUPCAKE COLLECTION.
WE WILL SEE YOU HERE
IN A LITTLE BIT,
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND POP‐A‐WAFFLE IS BETTING
ON A NEIGHBORHOOD
CALLED 12 SOUTH.
KEEP GOING HERE.
IT'S ON THE RIGHT.
BUT THAT'S ABOUT THE EXTENT
OF THEIR PLAN.
RIGHT HERE. WHAT'S THIS?
CAN WE PARK THERE?
UH...
WHAT ABOUT THIS SPOT
ACROSS THE STREET
THAT YOU CAN JUST TURN AROUND
AND PULL INTO?
YEAH,
WHY DON'T WE DO THAT?
COULD YOU DO THAT?
OKAY, HERE WE GO.
12 SOUTH IS SUPPOSED TO BE
ONE OF THE HOT SPOTS ON SUNDAY.
THERE'S APPARENTLY SUPPOSED
TO BE A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC.
SO I AM SUPER EAGER
TO TRY AND GET PREPPED
AND GET OPEN
AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
WE KNOW TIME IS TICKING.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
BUT WE JUST HAVE TO CONCENTRATE,
MAKE THE BEST FOOD WE CAN,
GET AS MUCH SALES AS WE CAN
UNDER OUR BELT
AND JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST.
THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM.
OH, YEAH.
WE'RE HEADED
TO THE CUPCAKE COLLECTION,
AND IT'S DOWN
IN GERMANTOWN, NASHVILLE.
IT SHOULD BE A GOOD AREA.
IT'S GOT CHURCHES THAT ARE
GONNA LET OUT FOR LUNCH.
WE'RE OUTSIDE A SHOP
THAT'S SUPPORTING US.
I'M HOPEFUL THAT TODAY GOES
A LOT BETTER THAN LAST NIGHT.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE
ROLLING THROUGH THE DOOR TODAY.
WE'RE JUST DOING OUR TACOS
AND LEMONADE,
AND WE WILL SEND EVERYONE
YOUR WAY FOR DESSERT.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL GET TO WORK.
SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE GONNA HAVE
A NICE, STEADY...
CUPCAKE/TACO CROWD HERE
IN JUST A LITTLE WHILE.
I CAN'T GO LEFT HERE.
IT'S GONNA BE
THE NEXT ONE THEN.
YOU KNOW WHAT, TED?
I'M JUST GONNA PULL OVER.
CAN YOU JUST PLEASE
GET DIRECTIONS?
EVERYONE'S GETTING
FRUSTRATED HERE.
OBVIOUSLY WE MADE A WRONG TURN.
YONG'S REALIZING HOW FAR IT IS.
EVERYONE WANTS THAT EXTRA MINUTE
TO SELL.
GO RIGHT HERE. RIGHT?
YEAH. OH, NO, LEFT. SORRY.
LEFT. LEFT. SORRY. SORRY.
JUST PRESS
THE ROUTE, TED.
I‐I AM‐‐
I AM ON THE ROUTE.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU KNOW
IF IT'S LEFT OR RIGHT?
I SAID LEFT
THE WHOLE TIME.
TENSIONS ARE HIGH
IN THE CAR RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE WE KEEP GETTING LOST,
AND WE'RE LOSING PRECIOUS TIME.
HEY, LET'S RESET, OKAY?
RESET, OKAY?
CHRIS, COME ON,
RESET.
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S 106.
- A KILO OF GARLIC, CHEESE.
- WE DEFINITELY NEED
TO GET OUT OF HERE
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
THE TRIATHLON'S, LIKE,
GOING AROUND.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN THESE PEOPLE
ARE GONNA LEAVE
OR WHERE THEY'RE GONNA
EXIT FROM.
SO MOVING A FOOD TRUCK
IS SO NOT LIKE MOVING A CAR.
YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THE BACK.
YOU CAN BARELY SEE
TO YOUR RIGHT.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW BIG
THIS STREET IS,
BUT I NEED TO GET
TO THIS PARKING SPOT.
SO I'M THINKING IF I JUST PULL
INTO THIS DRIVEWAY AND PULL OUT,
I'LL BE ABLE TO GET THERE
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I NEED SOMEBODY BEHIND ME!
I JUST HIT A CAR.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY THIS JUST HAPPENED OR HOW.
JESS, WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO? LET'S GO.
THIS IS MY FAULT
THAT I HIT SOMETHING,
BUT THIS SO COULD
HAVE BEEN AVOIDED
IF MY TEAMMATES
WERE THERE TO HELP ME.
WE'VE HAD
A MINOR 10‐45.
A VAN HAS BACKED
INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.
I'M SO PISSED OFF.
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GONNA GO HOME
BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE
JUST BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT,
BUT IT'S GONNA BE
A BIG PART OF IT.
THIS IS GONNA
SEND US HOME.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
WE'LL ALL‐‐
NO, NO, EVERYTHING'S
GONNA SEND US HOME.
THIS JUST IS AN ADDITION
TO THROWING IT OVER THE TOP.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THIS
ACCIDENT IS GONNA COST US.
I JUST REALLY HOPE
THAT TYLER'S UNDERSTANDING.
IF HE'S NOT,
THEN THAT COULD SEND US HOME.
WE GOT AN OFFICER RIGHT OVER
HERE. HE'S GONNA NEED
YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE,
INFORMATION.
OKAY, YEAH, WHATEVER
WE NEED TO DO.
SO I GUESS IT'S SAFE TO SAY
OUR NASHVILLE STOP
IS OFF WITH A BANG.
STILL, IT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE
WHEN YOU THINK
THESE TRUCKS
WERE BRAND‐SPANKING‐NEW
JUST A MONTH AGO,
AND NOW THEY'RE HUMMING ALONG
LIKE THEY'VE BEEN
DOING THIS FOR YEARS.
THE TRUTH IS THEY HAVEN'T.
THERE'S STILL A FEW MORE THINGS
THESE GUYS COULD STAND TO LEARN.
HELLO?
Hey, what's up, guys?
HI, TYLER.
Bobaloo, hand the phone
to Anthony.
THIS CALL IS FOR
THE CHEFS.
CALL'S FOR YOU,
ANTHONY.
HELLO?
IT'S SPEED BUMP
TIME.
OKAY,
SPEED BUMP TIME.
Hey, you've all gone
from green rookies,
and I mean
green as a plantain,
TO SEASONED
FOOD TRUCK OPERATORS
in, I think, a pretty short
period of time.
But if you win this race,
YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO HIRE PEOPLE
TO HELP YOU OUT WITH THE TRUCK
WHEN YOU GET HOME.
AM I RIGHT?
YEAH.
That is where
your speed bump comes in.
Chris, Anthony, Lisa,
and Angela,
TELL YOUR TEAMMATES
THEY'RE OFF THE TRUCK...
YOU GUYS
ARE OFF THE TRUCK.
Right now.
HE REALLY MEANS IT.
LIKE, RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW?
CAN I HAVE
MY PHONE BACK?
NO‐‐LATER.
They can hang out
and watch you,
but they can't help
in any way.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GUYS CAN WATCH, BUT THAT IS IT.
LISTEN, DON'T PANIC.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO RUN
THE TRUCK BY YOURSELF.
I COULD
IF I HAD TO.
NO. LUCKY FOR YOU, THERE HAPPENS
TO BE A CULINARY SCHOOL
right here in Nashville
FILLED WITH EAGER YOUNG CHEFS
that would love
to help you out today.
OH, MAN, THIS IS GONNA BE
A CRAZY SPEED BUMP.
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES,
EIGHT STUDENTS
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CULINARY
SCHOOLS AT THE ART INSTITUTES
ARE GONNA BE ARRIVING BY CAB.
YOU GET TWO STUDENTS PER TRUCK.
I'M GETTING KIDS
FROM A CULINARY SCHOOL.
THEY ARE YOUR TEAMMATES
FOR THE DAY.
But remember,
although these students
are at the top of their class
AND ON THEIR WAY
TO BECOMING GREAT CHEFS,
THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOU,
your product, or your truck.
And you don't have time
to stop now and train.
THE RACE, AS THEY SAY,
STOPS FOR NO ONE.
LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA HAVE
A CUPCAKE AND A COFFEE.
And remember, your first time
on a food truck
WAS FOUR SHORT WEEKS AGO,
SO BE PATIENT.
THANKS.
IT'S OKAY.
YOU CAN DO IT.
LOVE YOU.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS, I LOVE YOU.
THIS COMPETITION JUST GOT CRAZY,
AND SO DID I.
WE'RE FROM
THE ART INSTITUTES.
- LOOKING FOR CHRIS.
- HEY!
IT'S THE MIDDLE OF DAY TWO
IN NASHVILLE,
AND I'VE JUST GIVEN THE TEAMS
A SERIOUS SPEED BUMP.
STEPHANIE, ANGELA.
MY NAME'S PATRICK.
PATRICK.
NICE TO MEET YOU BOTH.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
EACH OF THE LEAD CHEFS ARE
GETTING TWO CULINARY STUDENTS
FROM THE ART INSTITUTES
TO HELP THEM RUN THEIR TRUCK.
I THINK
THIS COULD BE A GOOD DAY,
'CAUSE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A CHEF.
I'M A HOME COOK.
PROBLEM IS THAT MEANS
EACH OF THEIR TWO TEAMMATES
ARE GROUNDED INDEFINITELY
AND HAVE TO WATCH
FROM THE SIDELINES.
YOU GUYS HAVE NEVER WORKED
ON A FOOD TRUCK, HAVE YOU?
NO.
BUT YOU'VE WORKED
IN A KITCHEN...
OF COURSE.
PROBABLY WAY MORE
THAN I HAVE,
SO YOU PROBABLY HAVE A MUCH
BETTER SYSTEM THAN I DO.
TODAY HAS BEEN EXTREMELY ROUGH
ON OUR TEAM,
AND I'M JUST PRAYING THAT THESE
CHEFS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING
AND CAN REALLY HELP.
WE'RE DOING HOMEMADE
MEATBALLS,
WHICH WE'VE ALREADY ROLLED
ALL THE OTHER DAY,
SO REALLY JUST MAKING MEATBALL
SLIDERS OUT OF THEM RIGHT NOW.
OKAY.
SO WE HAVE HOMEMADE MARINA,
HOMEMADE MEATBALLS, CHEESE.
THAT'S THE MEATBALL SLIDER.
UM, WE'RE DOING PIZZELLE
ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.
- HAVE YOU EVER HAD A PIZZELLE?
- NO.
IT'S AN ITALIAN
WAFFLE COOKIE.
OKAY.
SO IT KINDA TASTES LIKE
A WAFFLE, BUT A LOT BETTER.
IT HAS, LIKE, A LOT OF ITALIAN
FLAVORS‐‐VANILLA, ANISE.
IT'S EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING
NOT BEING ON THE TRUCK.
I THINK SHE LOOKS, LIKE,
IN PEACE OVER THERE,
BUT I JUST DON'T LIKE
SITTING HERE DOING NOTHING.
WE'RE GONNA DO
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.
WE'RE GONNA DO
A STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WAFFLE.
AND THEN WE ALSO‐‐WE ALSO HAVE
A POMEGRANATE LEMONADE
THAT I'VE
ALREADY MADE.
OKAY.
BOB AND SCOTT AREN'T REALLY
IN THE CULINARY FIELD.
BUT THESE TWO GUYS ARE,
SO I REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS
IS GONNA BE GREAT.
JUST REMEMBER,
IT'S STILL A KITCHEN.
IT'S REALLY NO DIFFERENT
THAN ANY OTHER THING
THAT YOU'VE EVER WORKED IN.
I'M GONNA FALL BACK
INTO MY REGULAR ROUTINE
WITH TALKING TO MY OTHER COOKS
THAT I DELEGATE TASKS TO.
ALL OF THE PREP
IS READY.
YOU AND I WILL WORK
ON DISHES TOGETHER,
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT
THE CASH BOX.
ALL RIGHT.
- THE MENU IS REALLY SIMPLE.
- OKAY.
IT'S JUST GRILLING UP
BURGERS.
AND WE DEEP‐FRY SOME, LIKE,
KIMCHI FRIED RICE BALLS.
I MEAN, TYLER GIVES ME
TWO COOKS,
SO WHAT AM I GONNA DO
WITH TWO COOKS?
I'M GONNA PUT THEM
IN THE KITCHEN.
SO THIS IS
WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.
BASICALLY WHAT IT IS
IS WE STEAM RICE,
PURéE SOME KIMCHI,
SPICY PORK, CHEESE,
UH, GREEN ONIONS,
AND WE MIX IT ALL TOGETHER.
WE ROLL IT INTO BALLS,
AND THEN WE DO, LIKE,
YOU KNOW, AN EGG WASH
AND BATTER.
SO IT GOES FLOUR,
EGG, PANKO, DEEP‐FRY.
- KIMCHI‐GARLIC‐JALAPEÑO AIOLI ON TOP.
- OKAY.
AND SPRINKLE A LITTLE
KIMCHI DUST ON IT.
AND BOOM, THAT'S IT‐‐
SO SIMPLE.
I'M GONNA HAVE
BOTH OF YOU HELP ME PREP.
I NEED MORE SLAW
PUT TOGETHER AND CHICKEN.
WE JUST DO
JUST A SMALL DICE.
MY ONLY CONCERN WITH HAVING
THE CULINARY STUDENTS THERE‐‐
IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT I WILL
ACTUALLY HAVE AN EMPLOYEE
RATHER THAN MY KID, SO THIS
WILL BE A NEW EXPERIENCE.
IT'S REALLY, LIKE
A TONG‐FUL,
YOU KNOW, SO THAT IT'S ENOUGH,
BUT NOT A HUGE PORTION.
SAME THING
WITH THE SLAW.
JASON?
THERE'S YOUR TACOS.
DO YOU NOTICE THAT SHE'S
NOT DOING ANY COOKING?
SHE'S TAKING ORDERS.
SHE IS, ISN'T SHE?
I WONDER WHY?
SHE WON'T LET US ANYWHERE
NEAR THAT STOVE.
IT'S NOT DEAD YET,
JUST HAD A LITTLE LULL.
IT'S NOT COOL. THIS LINE‐‐
IF IT DOESN'T BUILD UP...
HE'LL BE
IN TROUBLE.
HE BETTER NOT BE MISSING
SOME MONEY, YOU KNOW?
I KNOW, MAN.
'CAUSE I‐I SAW, LIKE,
FROM A DISTANCE
HE WAS, LIKE, CARRYING
SOME, LIKE, RECEIPTS
IN HIS BACK POCKET.
THERE'S SO MUCH RIGHT NOW
THAT HE HAS TO JUGGLE,
LIKE MARKETING,
AND LIKE...
MARKETING,
FINANCE...
AND MANAGING
THOSE TWO GUYS...
COOKING.
AND, LIKE,
QUALITY CONTROL
ALL THE WAY UP TO MINGLING
WITH THE PEOPLE.
COME ON, CHRIS,
PULL IT TOGETHER, MAN.
THERE'S NOBODY
IN LINE.
ME AND TED WOULD BE
ON OUR PHONES FIRST THING,
SEEING WHERE THE LOCATIONS
ARE AT, TALKING TO PEOPLE.
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE
CONGREGATING TO NEXT?
ARE YOU SERIOUS,
CHRIS?
DUDE, SERIOUSLY?
REALLY, CHRIS?
WHAT THE
ARE YOU DOING?
ME AND TED ARE FURIOUS.
CHRIS IS TRYING ON A HAT.
THAT'S NOT SITTING WELL
FOR ME AND TED‐‐
SHOPPING
WHILE WE'RE ON THE JOB.
THIS IS DAY TWO.
THIS IS‐‐THIS IS IT, MAN.
IF WE DON'T MAKE IT,
WE MIGHT GO HOME.
MS. KELLY!
THANK YOU.
IT'S TURNING OUT TO BE
QUITE A SCENE.
THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE.
WE'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY.
ALL RIGHT,
SO THAT WILL BE $5.
CHANGE UP THE DYNAMIC A LITTLE
BIT‐‐NEVER A BAD THING.
IT SEEMS LIKE THINGS
ARE FLOWING WELL.
SCOTT AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO
BUT CHILL OUT, RELAX.
WE'RE JUST MAKING THE DAY
GO BY AS BEST AS WE CAN.
WHAT ELSE
DO WE NEED?
THERE YOU GO, SIR.
ENJOY.
IT'S NOT QUITE THE CROWDS
WE WERE HOPING FOR.
AND IT'S STARTING TO GET
A LITTLE SLOWER.
I'M NOT FAMILIAR
WITH NASHVILLE.
TIFFANY'S OFF THE TRUCK.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MOVE
AND FIND A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
HI, ANTHONY,
THIS IS ANGELA
FROM MOMMA GRIZZLY'S.
HEY, WHAT'S
GOING ON, HONEY?
WE'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF
THE CUPCAKE SHOP ALL MORNING. Uh‐huh.
So we're thinking we could,
like, come where you're at
AND MAYBE GET MORE TRAFFIC DOWN
THERE FOR ALL OF US.
I‐I THINK THAT
WOULD BE GREAT, YEAH.
WHERE ARE
YOU GUYS AT?
12th AVENUE SOUTH.
Okay,
WE'LL SEE YOU
IN A FEW MINUTES.
ALL RIGHT,
THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
SEE YOU SOON.
THANK YOU GUYS
SO MUCH FOR STOPPING BY.
WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT.
I THINK THIS IS GREAT, ACTUALLY.
I LOVE MY TEAMMATES,
BUT I HAVE TWO CHEFS
HERE RIGHT NOW.
AND IT'S VERY PEACEFUL.
AND THEY DON'T YELL AT ME.
THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING.
THEY'RE SO LAID BACK,
SO EASY TO WORK WITH.
THEY KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
AND I THINK IT'S REALLY
WHAT I NEEDED RIGHT NOW.
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT?
DO YOU NEED US TO YELL?
NO, I LOVE‐‐I'M THE MOST
QUIET, PEACEFUL ONE, SO...
'CAUSE WE CAN SCREAM
AT EACH OTHER.
NO, NO, NO,
I LIKE IT.
I LOVE TALKING
TO THE CUSTOMERS.
I GET TO BE
OUT THE WINDOW TODAY.
ONE RICE BALL, THREE SLIDERS.
YOU GOT IT.
AND IT'S REALLY NICE FOR ONCE
TO NOT BE BEHIND THE GRILL.
CAN WE TALK
FOR A MOMENT
ABOUT GRIZZLY TRUCK
PULLING UP BESIDE US?
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.
WE'VE ARRIVED AT THIS LOCATION
WHERE POP‐A‐WAFFLE'S AT.
AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY
WHAT I EXPECTED.
HOWEVER, THERE'S
NO GUARANTEES IF I MOVE
THAT I'M GONNA FIND
ANYTHING BETTER.
THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS
DRIVE AROUND WASTING MORE TIME.
THEY'RE REALLY GOOD
TACOS.
- DID YOU EAT ALREADY?
- WE JUST ATE.
ARE YOU CONTEMPLATING
DOING ANYTHING
WITH YOUR MENU RIGHT NOW?
IT'S TOUGH FOR ME TO TAKE
SUGGESTIONS FROM OTHER PEOPLE.
I TEND TO LIKE TO KEEP THINGS
IN CONTROL.
IF YOU DID, LIKE,
A CHICKEN QUESADILLA,
YOU HAVE
THE TORTILLA SHELLS.
NO.
AND THEN JUST CHEESE
AND THE CHICKEN‐‐
OR THROW SOME CHEESE
ON THE TACOS THAT YOU HAVE.
YEAH.
CHEESE IS‐‐
CHEESE IS EXCELLENT.
ALL RIGHT, CHEF, THIS IS
THE LAST TICKET FOR US.
AS YOU KNOW,
WE'RE BOTH IN SCHOOL,
SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE ANOTHER
FOOD COMPETITION TOMORROW
AT OUR SCHOOL.
I THINK YOU GUYS DID GREAT,
SO I WISH YOU BOTH
ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
GOOD LUCK.
THANKS FOR ALL
YOUR HELP.
I GET YOU BACK
FOR 30 MINUTES.
- HEY, GIRLS.
- WHAT?
BREAK'S OVER.
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON,
BREAK'S OVER.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GO.
HEY! COME ON!
YES, THANK YOU! WHOO!
DO YOU GUYS WANT TO GET SOME
FRIED BALLS OR A HAMBURGER?
YES. CAN WE SERVE YOU
SOME FOOD?
I GET TED AND YONG BACK,
AND I AM FRICKIN' STOKED.
THERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU, SIR.
FINALLY WE GET TO FRICKIN' WORK,
YOU KNOW?
ALL RIGHT, WHAT CAN I
GET FOR YOU, MAN?
WHY HAVE YOU
SAT HERE ALL DAY?
THERE'S ONLY A LITTLE BIT
OF TIME LEFT TO SELL,
SO I'VE GOT TO GO
HIT THE STREETS.
I'M JUST GONNA GO TALK TO
EVERYBODY I CAN GET MY HANDS ON.
YES.
YAY! THANK YOU.
AWESOME.
I'M IN.
LET'S DO IT.
HI, BABY.
FINALLY, OUR TIME TO PLAY.
THIS IS LIKE THE BOTTOM
OF THE NINTH,
AND WE FINALLY GET
TO GET UP TO BAT.
YOU CANNOT GO WRONG
FOR $5, I SWEAR.
I KNOW IT'S ALMOST THE END
OF THE SELLING DAY.
THERE HAS GOT TO BE
A COUPLE OTHER CUSTOMERS
OUT THERE TO FIND.
IT IS TIME TO GRAB THOSE FLAGS.
WAFFLES.
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.
ONE MINUTE.
ONE MINUTE.
I'M LOOKING FOR MARTY.
LAST LEMONADE
OF THE NIGHT. THANK YOU.
WELL, EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU.
YOU WANT TWO OR ONE?
BEAUTIFUL. $14.
- WE GOT ONE BURGER ALL DAY AND FOUR BALLS!
- HEARD!
- WE'RE NOT WORTHY.
- IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY. WHOO!
THANK YOU, NASHVILLE.
GUYS, DO WE THINK
WE'RE GOING HOME?
UM, I DEFINITELY
THINK THERE'S A CHANCE.
I DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S A CHANCE.
I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THERE'S
A CHANCE THAT WE COULD GO HOME.
WELL, THERE'S A CHANCE
EVERY WEEK.
NO, NO, NO.
THERE'S A DIFFERENT CONFIDENCE
LEVEL FROM WEEK TO WEEK.
CONFIDENCE WAS
IN THE OTHER LEVELS.
THIS I'M QUESTIONING.
I'M JUST PRAYING TO GOD
THAT TYLER SEES
PAST THE ACCIDENT,
KNOWS THAT IT'S AN ACCIDENT.
AND I KEEP LOOKING
AT THE GIRLS
TO BELIEVE
THAT WE'RE NOT GOING HOME.
SO IF WE MAKE IT TO THE‐‐
TO THE NEXT CITY,
THEN WE NEED TO REMAIN CONFIDENT
NO MATTER WHAT OUR DAY
FEELS LIKE,
BECAUSE THAT ENERGY WILL TAKE US
THROUGH THE DAY.
THE ONE THING
WE DO KNOW ABOUT THIS RACE
IS THAT ELIMINATION DAY
IS FULL OF SURPRISES
EVERY SINGLE TIME.
NASHVILLE HASN'T BEEN EXACTLY
EVERYTHING WE HOPED IT WOULD BE.
IT WAS AN OKAY WEEKEND,
BUT WE'RE DOWN
TO THE FINAL FOUR,
AND OKAY
JUST MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH.
AND OKAY
JUST MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH.
WE DID OUR BEST WE CAN.
HOPEFULLY IT'S ENOUGH
TO STAY IN THE RACE.
AND WE'LL FIND OUT
TOMORROW.
I HOPE WE STAY IN.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL.
I WANT TO BE
IN THE TOP THREE SO BAD.
GUYS, IT'S TIME
FOR THE FIFTH
"GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"
ELIMINATION.
AND I'VE GOTTA TELL YA,
I DON'T ENJOY THIS PART AT ALL.
WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT,
ONE OF YOU FOUR TEAMS
ARE GONNA HAND ME YOUR KEYS
AND HEAD HOME RIGHT NOW.
AND AS FOR WHICH TEAM
THAT IS, WELL,
THAT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU.
I THINK WE'RE ALL AWARE
THAT THERE'S ANOTHER INCIDENT
THAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS
BEFORE IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE
HERE IN NASHVILLE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DEAL WITH IT.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.
IN FIRST PLACE
WITH A TOTAL OF...
$3,173‐‐
POP‐A‐WAFFLE.
WOW. OH.
YES.
FIRST PLACE, BABY!
WHOO!
WHAT?!
WE FINALLY TOOK A CITY.
I FEEL LIKE WE ARE
FINALLY STANDING ON TWO FEET,
AND WE'RE JUST ABOUT TO SPRINT
TO THE FINISH LINE.
FIRST PLACE
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
YOU'RE SAFE FOR NOW.
STEP BACK, GUYS.
THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
NOW I'M HAVING A LITTLE BIT
OF DéJà VU FROM LAST WEEK.
NONNA'S KITCHENETTE,
YOU MADE THE SECOND‐MOST AMOUNT
OF MONEY HERE IN NASHVILLE.
BUT, GIRLS, YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY.
NONNA'S,
YOU ARE NOT SAFE.
LUCKILY, THE OWNER OF THE CAR
THAT YOU DAMAGED...
WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING.
VERY.
AND THANK GOODNESS
NOBODY GOT HURT.
BUT THAT ACCIDENT
IS GONNA COST YOU DEARLY
IN THIS RACE.
THIS GROUP AS A WHOLE
HAS GOT TO TIGHTEN UP.
EITHER IN THIS RACE
OR AT HOME,
OPERATING A FOOD TRUCK COMES
WITH TONS OF RESPONSIBILITY,
WHICH BRINGS ME TO THIS.
SINCE THE DRIVER OF THE CAR IS
WILLING TO GO THROUGH INSURANCE,
YOU'RE ONLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE.
I HAVE TO SAY,
IT'S A WEIRD PRECEDENT
THAT GRIZZLY GRUB SET LAST
WEEKEND, BUT HERE WE GO AGAIN.
THAT DEDUCTIBLE‐‐
IT'S $250,
AND IT'S COMING
OUT OF YOUR TILL.
THAT'S A STIFF PENALTY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN TEAMS
ARE GOING HOME
FOR LESS THAN $30.
SO WITH THAT ADJUSTMENT,
LET'S CONTINUE.
IN SECOND PLACE
AND SAFE...
WITH $2,321‐‐
NONNA'S KITCHENETTE.
OH, MY GOD.
I AM SO HAPPY.
I'M SO BEYOND HAPPY.
WE ARE IN SECOND PLACE.
I AM JUST SO SHOCKED
THAT WITH THIS ACCIDENT,
WE WERE ABLE
TO PULL IT TOGETHER.
SO THAT LEAVES THE BOTTOM TWO,
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB
AND SEOUL SAUSAGE.
BEING IN THE BOTTOM TWO AGAIN
IS DEFINITELY NOT
WHERE WE WANT TO BE.
WE EXPECTED NASHVILLE
TO BE OUR CITY,
AND THAT WE WERE GONNA DO
EXTREMELY WELL HERE.
WE STILL WANT TO MOVE ON.
WE STILL WANT TO WIN THIS.
AND SEOUL SAUSAGE,
THIS IS NEW TERRITORY FOR YOU.
I KNOW HOW COMPETITIVE
YOU GUYS ARE.
THIS CAN'T BE FUN.
SO ARE YOU GUYS
PREPARED TO GO HOME?
- NOT AT ALL.
- BEING IN THE BOTTOM TWO FEELS TERRIBLE.
I'VE NEVER FELT
THIS FEELING BEFORE.
I WANT THIS SO BAD,
AND I'VE NEVER WANTED ANYTHING
SO BAD IN MY LIFE.
OKAY, GUYS, THIS IS THE END
OF THE LINE FOR ONE OF YOU.
IN THIRD PLACE
AND SAFE...
WITH $2,297‐‐
SEOUL SAUSAGE.
IT MAKES ME CRY, DUDE.
- GOOD JOB, GUYS.
- OH, COME HERE.
I PROMISE THIS WILL NEVER,
EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
I'M GONNA WORK HARDER.
I'M GONNA PUT THE BEST FOOD OUT.
I WILL NOT
LET THIS HAPPEN.
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB,
I'M SORRY,
YOU GUYS GAVE IT
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE.
IT JUST WASN'T ENOUGH
HERE IN NASHVILLE.
YOU MADE $1,919.
ANGELA, YOU REACHED
FOR YOUR DREAMS,
AND YOU SUCCEEDED
WILDLY.
YOU ARE WHAT THIS YEAR'S RACE
IS ALL ABOUT.
AND WHILE YOU DIDN'T WIN
THIS FOOD TRUCK,
I'M SURE THERE'S GONNA BE
A MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB
ROLLING AROUND WASILLA
IN NO TIME AT ALL.
ALL RIGHT, ANGELA,
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB,
IT'S TIME.
I NEED YOUR KEYS, PLEASE.
HERE YOU GO.
THANKS SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
THANKS.
YOU GUYS DID
A GREAT JOB.
GUYS, A ROUND OF APPLAUSE
FOR MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB.
THEY FOUGHT HARD.
ENDING THE RACE
IS NOT THE END OF MY DREAMS.
IT'S REALLY JUST THE START.
AND IT'S GIVEN ME THE FOUNDATION
TO GO FORWARD
AND BE SUCCESSFUL.
I HOPE THAT OUR STORY
WILL INSPIRE SOMEONE ELSE
TO TAKE THAT LEAP OF FAITH
AND FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS.
WELL, THEN TAKE A LOOK
AROUND, GUYS.
WE STARTED OUT
WITH EIGHT TEAMS,
AND NOW YOU'RE LOOKING
AT THE FINAL THREE.
CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS,
YOU ALL MADE IT THROUGH
A VERY ROUGH WEEKEND
HERE IN NASHVILLE.
NOW YOU HAVE A 1‐IN‐3 CHANCE
OF WINNING
YOUR VERY OWN FOOD TRUCK
AND $50,000.
SO STOP NUMBER SIX‐‐
WHERE COULD WE POSSIBLY
BE GOING NOW?
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW SOMETIMES
LIFE JUST SUDDENLY TAKES
A LEFT TURN?
WELL, THAT'S WHAT
THIS RACE
IS ABOUT TO DO,
LITERALLY.
OUR NEXT CITY
IS 522 MILES
HEADING MOSTLY NORTH
AND SLIGHTLY EAST.
WE'RE GOING
TO CLEVELAND, OHIO.
LET'S GET ROLLIN'!
I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS
FOR THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW.
I'M STILL TRYING TO JUST WRAP
MY BRAIN AROUND IT.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW WE DID THIS,
BUT I'M SO PROUD OF US.
NEXT TIME ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
CLEVELAND,
LET ME YEAR YA!
LET'S GET ROLLIN'.
ONLY ONE TEAM
CAN GET THIS REWARD,
- AND IT WILL PROBABLY PUT THAT TEAM IN THE FINALE.
- LOOKING GOOD, GIRLS.
I WISH WE HAD DONE
THIS MOVE 45 MINUTES PRIOR.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,
YOU KNOW? JUST MOVE ON.
YOU'LL HAVE FIVE MINUTES
TO OFFLOAD YOUR TRUCK.
YOU'LL HAVE FIVE MINUTES
TO OFFLOAD YOUR TRUCK.
IT IS MAD FOOT TRAFFIC
DOWN THERE.
PEOPLE, ARE YOU HUNGRY?
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
EIGHT TEAMS
OF FOOD TRUCK ROOKIES
AND THEIR DREAM TRUCKS
BEGAN A MAD DASH
FROM LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA...
FROM LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA...
TO FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS.
HALF THE TRUCKS HAVE
ALREADY GONE BY THE WAYSIDE...
NOT GONNA STOP ME
FROM PURSUING MY DREAMS
OF OWNING A FOOD TRUCK.
LEAVING FOUR WILDLY DIFFERENT
TEAMS IN THE RUNNING
TO KEEP THEIR FOOD TRUCK
AND TAKE HOME $50,000.
OUR GRANDMAS WOULD BE
SO PROUD OF US RIGHT NOW.
THERE ARE THE GUYS FROM
THE KOREAN SEOUL SAUSAGE TEAM.
KIMCHI FRIED CHEESY BALLS!
WHO DOMINATED
THE FIRST THREE WEEKS...
I KNOW
WHAT THE KEY'S FOR!
BUT GOT A RUDE AWAKENING
IN ARKANSAS.
IN FIRST PLACE‐‐
NONNA'S KITCHENETTE.
YAY!
YOU'VE GOT ALASKA'S
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB...
THERE'S YOUR WINGS.
THANK YOU.
WHICH SQUEAKED BY
AFTER A CARELESS ACCIDENT.
OH!
THIS IS REALLY BAD.
THERE'S POP‐A‐WAFFLE...
WHOSE POSITIVE ATTITUDE
AND ENTHUSIASM...
P‐A‐T!
MASKS THE FACT THEY'VE NEVER
FINISHED HIGHER THAN THIRD.
YOU GUYS LIKE FAJITA WAFFLES?
WE'VE GOT 'EM RIGHT OVER HERE.
AND THEN THERE ARE
THE JERSEY GIRLS
OF NONNA'S KITCHENETTE...
WHO WILL NOT GIVE UP THEIR
FOOD TRUCK WITHOUT A FIGHT...
NO, NO, NO, WE WERE HERE FIRST.
THAT'S NOT A DEAL.
LITERALLY.
SHE APPROACHES ME, HER HEAD'S
GONNA BE IN THE CEMENT.
NOW THE RACE COMES
TO NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
ONLY FOUR TRUCKS REMAIN,
BUT NOT FOR LONG.
WHO WILL GO HOME NEXT?
I'M TYLER FLORENCE, AND THIS IS
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
LET'S GET ROLLIN'.
FOOD TRUCK ROAD TRIP!
- SECOND PLACE, TED.
- DUDE.
HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THAT?
SCREW THAT, MAN.
DUDE, THIS‐‐
THIS WEEK WE'RE GONNA
FRICKIN' COME HARDER.
I LIKE IT.
I CAME HERE TO WIN.
I WANTED TO MAKE MY FOLKS PROUD,
MYSELF PROUD, MY FRIENDS.
THIS IS A ONCE‐IN‐A‐LIFETIME
OPPORTUNITY,
AND I'M NOT GONNA WASTE IT.
YOU KNOW HOW WE'VE BEEN
PARTNERING UP WITH PEOPLE, TED?
YEAH, YEAH.
THAT WORKS GREAT AND ALL
WITH SMALL CITIES,
BUT I THINK THIS WEEKEND'S
GONNA BE KIND OF LIKE‐‐
EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE DOING
THE SOLO THING, YOU KNOW?
LOCATION'S GONNA BE
PRETTY CRITICAL THIS WEEK.
TOP FOUR.
- WE MADE IT.
- I THINK ME AND TIFFANY
HAVE DEFINITELY FOUND
OUR LITTLE SPARK.
WE'RE NOT HERE JUST TO SUPPORT
YOU ANYMORE. WE WANT TO WIN.
MY MOM QUIT HER JOB.
AND TO SEE HER GO FROM THIS SAD
AND DEPRESSED PERSON
TO THIS HAPPY PERSON
WHO HAS THAT LIGHT AGAIN‐‐
THAT'S HUGE.
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE PERSON
THAT SHE HAS BECOME ON THIS TRIP
IN YEARS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE SURVIVED
FAYETTEVILLE.
WE ENDED UP VERY LUCKY.
CAN'T AFFORD TO MAKE MISTAKES
LIKE THAT AGAIN THIS WEEKEND.
I WANT OUR MENU PRICES
UP THIS WEEK.
WE'RE IN A BIG CITY.
IF WE CAN GET
OUR CHECKS HIGHER,
THAN I THINK WE CAN DO
REALLY WELL THIS WEEKEND.
IF WE DID, LIKE,
YOUR MEAT WITH 2 SIDES,
LIKE, $15.
WE ARE SO CLOSE
TO THE END OF THIS RACE.
AND I CAN SEE US IN THE FINALE.
I CAN SEE US
WINNING THE ENTIRE THING.
THIS IS SOMETHING I DREAMED OF,
SOMETHING I'VE WANTED.
AND I'M SO PROUD THAT WE WORKED
TOGETHER AS A TEAM
WITH NO EXPERIENCE.
PEOPLE LOVE
OUR MEATBALLS,
AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THEM
IN EVERY CITY.
AND PEOPLE ARE COMING TO US
FOR MEATBALLS.
I DON'T THINK WE CAN EVER TAKE
THAT OFF THE MENU AT THIS POINT.
WE'RE IN THE FINAL FOUR.
WHAT?!
HOW DID WE
EVER MAKE IT THIS FAR?
I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT.
THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE.
WHAT A MINUTE, BOB,
AREN'T WE GOING TO NASHVILLE?
I THOUGHT WE WERE,
BUT APPARENTLY WHERE TYLER
IS SENDING US IS NOT...
WE JUST PASSED
NASHVILLE.
SO, TYLER,
NASHVILLE'S BACK THERE.
YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK
YOUR G. P. S.
IS THIS SOME SORT OF SPEED BUMP
WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT?
MAYBE HE GAVE US
THE WRONG ADDRESS.
SHOULD WE CALL HIM?
WHAT'S UP, GUYS?
WHAT'S UP, FINAL FOUR?
WELCOME TO TENNESSEE!
YOU GUYS
ARE ALL ONE STEP CLOSER
TO WINNING YOUR OWN FOOD TRUCK
AND $50,000!
BUT, GUYS, THIS IS
THE POINT IN THE RACE
WHERE YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO
MAKE THE LONG, LONELY TRIP HOME.
SO BE SMART, AND DON'T LET
A DUMB MISTAKE TRIP YOU UP.
THERE'S ONLY FOUR TEAMS LEFT,
SO THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ERROR.
WE HAVE TO MAKE EVERY MINUTE,
EVERY SALE,
EVERY DOLLAR COUNT.
NOW FAYETTEVILLE
WAS A BRUTAL STOP,
AND THAT ELIMINATION
WAS A GUT CHECK FOR EVERYONE.
AND HOPEFULLY
THERE WON'T BE
ANOTHER DEMOLITION DERBY
HERE IN NASHVILLE.
YOU'RE ALL GONNA
HAVE TO RAISE YOUR GAME
IF YOU WANT TO STAY
IN THIS RACE.
THERE'S NO MORE HIDING
IN FOURTH PLACE.
THE FOURTH PLACE TEAM HERE
HANDS ME THEIR KEYS.
OKAY, GUYS, LET'S GET
THE BUSINESS OVER WITH.
I'VE GOT YOUR SEED MONEY
RIGHT HERE.
IT'S $300.
$300 IN A BIG CITY
DOES NOT SEEM
LIKE THAT MUCH MONEY.
SO I'M A LITTLE BIT SCARED,
AND I NEED TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE REALLY CAUTIOUS
WITH OUR SHOPPING THIS WEEK.
NOW THIS IS WHERE
I NORMALLY TEASE YOU
ABOUT A TRUCK STOP COOKING
CHALLENGE, BUT WE NEVER DO IT.
THAT CHANGES TODAY,
BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA COOK
RIGHT HERE,
RIGHT NOW.
WHOO‐HOO!
BUT BEFORE WE DO,
I WANT TO TELL YOU
A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHERE WE ARE.
THIS ISN'T JUST A NICE,
LITTLE FARM SOUTH OF NASHVILLE.
THIS IS THE HOME OF MY GOOD
FRIENDS JOEY AND RORY FEEK.
JOEY AND RORY
AREN'T JUST SOLID CITIZENS
AND FARMERS
HERE IN POTTSVILLE.
THEY ALSO HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF
NASHVILLE'S HOTTEST MUSIC ACTS.
WE'RE AT JOEY AND RORY'S FARM.
VERY COOL. I ACTUALLY LOVE
THE SONGS THEY WRITE,
SO NOW I'M EXCITED.
JOEY AND RORY LOVE
DOWN‐HOME COUNTRY FARE.
SO YOUR CHALLENGE TODAY
IS TO IMPRESS THEM
BY CREATING
A PICNIC LUNCH
THAT'S WORTHY
OF THIS NECK OF THE WOODS.
THIS CHALLENGE IS
DEFINITELY A LITTLE DAUNTING.
I'M NOT SURE IF JOEY AND RORY
HAVE TRIED KOREAN FLAVORS.
WE'RE NOT FROM THE SOUTH,
SO WE DON'T EXACTLY KNOW
A SOUTHERN MEAL.
THERE'S A TINY,
LITTLE FARMERS' MARKET
DOWN THE ROAD THAT WAY.
YOU'LL HAVE AN HOUR
TO GO OVER THERE, SHOP,
PREPARE YOUR MEAL,
AND PRESENT IT.
ONE HOUR
IS JUST NOT ENOUGH TIME.
IT TAKES US THAT LONG JUST TO
PREP. FORGET, LIKE,
TRYING TO SHOP FOR IT, NOT
KNOWING WHAT THEY HAVE THERE.
JOEY AND RORY WILL TASTE
YOUR DISHES AND PICK A WINNER.
AND THAT TEAM
WILL WIN A REWARD
THAT I PROMISE YOU
YOU'RE GONNA WANT.
THAT'S BECAUSE IT WILL
ALL BUT GUARANTEE
YOU'LL MOVE ON
TO THE NEXT CITY.
WHATEVER THE PRIZE IS
FOR THIS CHALLENGE, WE NEED IT.
WE'RE THE ONLY TEAM
THAT HAS NOT WON A CHALLENGE.
LET'S GET ROLLIN'!
LET'S DO IT!
WE MIGHT JUST HAVE
TO DITCH THE WAFFLE CONCEPT.
CHEF ANTHONY,
IF HE STAYS ON A COURSE
OF, LIKE, PICNIC FARE
AND DOES IT GREAT
AND CHANGES IT UP JUST ENOUGH
TO MAKE PEOPLE GO,
"OH, THAT'S FANTASTIC."
THE BURGER
WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO‐‐
WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO
OUR GARLIC WITH CORN.
THE PASTA SALAD THEN WE'RE GONNA
NEED, LIKE, GOAT CHEESE.
BUT YEAH,
I WAS GONNA SAY...
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PRAY
THAT THEY HAVE THESE CHEESES.
THAT'S WHAT
I'M STRESSED ABOUT
IS ITALIAN FOOD
HAS SO MUCH CHEESE IN IT.
AS LONG AS THE FARMERS' MARKET
HAS WHAT WE NEED,
WE'LL STICK WITH THE HOT WINGS
AND OUR SLAW
AND THEN
THE SWEET POTATO FRIES.
IF THEY'VE GOT
SOME OF THE PRODUCT,
WE'LL DO, LIKE, A KOREAN
BARBECUE‐STYLE EMPANADA.
WE'LL DO, LIKE,
A POTATO SALAD
AND THEN
A MIXED FRUIT COBBLER.
THIS IS WHERE
YOU SHINE, CHRIS.
WE NEED, LIKE,
BASIL AND PARSLEY.
YOU HAVE
SWEET POTATOES?
YEAH.
THERE'S CHICKEN LEGS.
LET'S GET A CHICKEN BREAST.
I FIGURE, WHY NOT DO, LIKE,
A COLD FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH
AND THEN MAKE
A GREAT POTATO SALAD.
OH, THERE IS
NO BREAD.
THEY DO NOT HAVE BREAD.
ALL RIGHT.
SO I THINK IT MIGHT
JUST BE FRIED CHICKEN.
FRIED CHICKEN IT IS.
THERE'S NO BUTTER, BUT THERE'S,
LIKE, BUTTERMILK AND CHEESE
THAT YOU CAN MAKE
MACARONI AND CHEESE.
THIS MARKET IS SO TINY,
THEY DON'T HAVE BUTTER.
I DON'T KNOW ANY KIND
OF SOUTHERN COMFORT FOOD
THAT DOESN'T USE BUTTER.
SO MAYBE
THE PASTA SALAD
IS NOT THE WAY
TO GO RIGHT NOW.
SO THERE'S
NO SPINACH?
SO MAYBE WE NEED
TO DO MAC AND CHEESE.
SO GET
THE REGULAR ONES...
YEAH.
AND IF WE NEED THE BUTTERMILK,
WE'LL GRAB IT...
DO THE SHARP CHEDDAR.
AND GET CHEESE.
- WE'VE GOT PORK HERE.
- WE'LL TAKE MORE PORK.
YOU DON'T NEED MILK
OR CHEESE, RIGHT? MILK.
ANYTHING ELSE, LADIES?
I THINK WE'RE GOOD.
ALL RIGHT,
READY TO GO.
YOU'VE GOT
30 MINUTES LEFT.
WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING ON DOING
WITH THE CHICKEN THAT YOU GOT?
FRIED CHICKEN
WITH THE BUFFALO SAUCE ON IT.
WE'RE GONNA DO
THE BUFFALO CHIPOTLE SAUCE.
THE SLAW IS A FRESH‐MADE SLAW
WITH A LITTLE BIT
OF RED WINE VINEGAR.
AND SWEET POTATOES WITH
A BROWN SUGAR GLAZE ON THEM.
WE NEED TO MELT
THAT CHEESE, LIKE, NOW.
FOR THIS CHALLENGE WE'RE GONNA
BE MAKING AN ITALIAN BURGER
WITH ROASTED TOMATO, CHEESE,
AND CRUMBLED BACON,
GARLIC‐ROASTED CORN ON THE COB,
AND MAC AND CHEESE.
BE CAREFUL WITH THIS,
'CAUSE I DON'T WANT IT TO BURN.
- JUST LET THE CHICKEN SIT IN THERE.
- OKAY.
TODAY WE'RE GONNA DO
A CLASSIC SOUTHERN FRIED
CHICKEN, CORN ON THE COB,
WITH A MARKET VEGETABLE.
THIS IS PERFECT.
I DON'T HAVE TO USE
A WAFFLE FOR A CHANGE,
WHICH IS GREAT,
BECAUSE I HAVE MUCH MORE RANGE
THAN JUST THAT.
SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE BUTTER,
I'M MAKING A QUICK INFUSED OIL
THAT CONSISTS OF CHIVES, GARLIC,
PAPRIKA, SALT, AND PEPPER.
AND WE'RE GONNA USE A LITTLE BIT
OF THIS OVER THE CORN.
CAN YOU GIVE ME
SOME GARLIC?
YOU WANT ME
TO MINCE THOSE OR WHAT?
JUST GIVE IT TO ME.
I'LL DO IT REAL FAST.
I'M GOING TO DO
A DESSERT PIE.
THE PICNIC
THAT I'M GONNA MAKE
IS GONNA BE THE KOREAN
SPICY PORK EMPANADA,
THE COUNTRY POTATO SALAD.
WE'LL USE THE...
AS A MAYONNAISE BASE
FOR THE POTATO SALAD.
AND A DEEP‐FRIED
MIXED BERRY PIE‐‐
IT'S GONNA BE BOMB.
HOPEFULLY IT WORKS.
HEY, LADIES,
THIS IS JOEY AND RORY FEEK.
HI, GUYS, HOW ARE YOU?
THANKS FOR HAVING US
TODAY.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
HERE Y'ALL GO. HERE'S A BASKET.
WE WANT YOU TO FILL IT UP
AND GIVE US
SOME GOOD STUFF.
THEY'VE GOT
A GIFT FOR YOU‐‐
A PICNIC BASKET.
FILL IT UP.
HERE YOU GO.
- WE'VE GOT A BASKET FOR YOU.
- HERE YOU GO, BUDDY.
GUYS,
THIS IS RORY AND JOEY FEEK.
- OH, THANK YOU.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YES, YES.
HOW'D THAT SAUCE ON
THE CHICKEN END UP TURNING OUT?
IT'S NOT GONNA
LIGHT 'EM UP, IS IT?
IT MIGHT LIGHT 'EM
A LITTLE BIT.
ALL THE FINISHING
TOUCHES ON MY VEGETABLES.
HOW IS IT?
TAKE A...
IT'S HOT.
VERY GOOD, THOUGH.
GOOD.
- TEN...
- I'M GONNA START PLATING, GUYS.
NINE...
I THINK IT'S GOOD.
- EIGHT...
- WATCH OUT.
SEVEN...
IT'S COLORFUL.
IT'S BRIGHT.
- SIX...
- DID YOU PUT SALT IN THE BREADCRUMBS?
FIVE...
COMING RIGHT UP.
- FOUR...
- WHOO!
THREE...
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
TWO...
ALL RIGHT.
ONE!
WRAP IT UP, GUYS.
THE PICNIC COMPETITION
IS OVER.
COMING UP ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.
ALL RIGHT!
TELL YOUR TEAMMATES
THEY'RE OFF THE TRUCK.
YOU GUYS
ARE OUT.
I'M SO PISSED OFF.
I NEED
SOMEBODY BEHIND ME!
NOW I KNOW THIS IS GONNA BE
HARD FOR JOEY AND RORY.
BUT TODAY THEY'RE GONNA
TASTE ALL OF YOUR DISHES,
AND THEY'RE GONNA
PICK ONE WINNER.
ALL RIGHT,
CHRIS FROM SEOUL SAUSAGE,
ALL RIGHT,
CHRIS FROM SEOUL SAUSAGE,
COME ON UP AND TELL US
ABOUT YOUR PICNIC.
WE'VE GOT A KOREAN
SPICY PORK EMPANADA,
COUNTRY POTATO SALAD,
AND THEN WE'VE GOT
DESSERT PIE.
SO PLEASE ENJOY.
EVERYTHING HERE
IS REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
THIS POTATO SALAD
WAS REALLY AMAZING.
I LIKE THE APPLE
IN THERE
AND THAT BACON
AND ALL THE CRUNCH.
THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT FLAVOR
IN THE EMPANADA.
HONESTLY, I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT AN EMPANADA WAS.
WE'RE IN TENNESSEE.
I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE
ARE GONNA GO CRAZY
OVER SOMETHING
THAT THEY'RE
NOT USED TO.
NICE JOB.
LISA FROM NONNA'S KITCHENETTE,
COME ON UP.
I HAVE NEVER PREPARED A DISH
FOR A JUDGE,
NEVER MIND TWO AMAZING
COUNTRY MUSICIANS.
SO I AM REALLY NERVOUS
RIGHT NOW.
WOW.
HOLY SMOKES.
WE DID
THE ITALIAN BURGER,
WHICH HAS BREADCRUMBS,
PARSLEY, BASIL,
ROASTED TOMATO,
WHITE CHEDDAR.
AND THEN WE HAVE
A GARLIC ROASTED CORN.
AND THEN WE HAVE MAC AND CHEESE
WITH WHITE CHEDDAR,
SHARP CHEDDAR,
CRUMBLED BACON.
I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED
WITH THE HAMBURGER.
I LOVE ALL THE SPICES
ON TOP.
I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN
MAYBE A GREEN IN HERE.
THE MAC AND CHEESE WAS
A LITTLE BIT DRY TO ME.
ALL RIGHT, NICE JOB, GIRLS.
ANGELA FROM MOMMA'S
GRIZZLY GRUB, COME ON UP.
WE DID A CHIPOTLE BUFFALO
CHICKEN SAUCE,
A FRESH CRANBERRY AND ORANGE
COLESLAW,
AND BROWN SUGAR‐GLAZED
SWEET POTATOES.
THE CHICKEN WAS GREAT.
I LOVE THE SALTY
AND THE TANG AND THE LITTLE BIT
OF KICK IN SPICE.
I DIDN'T LOVE
THE COLESLAW AS MUCH.
EVEN THOUGH I LOVE SWEETS,
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TOO SWEET.
ANTHONY FROM POP‐A‐WAFFLE,
COME ON UP.
HELLO,
HOW ARE YA?
AH, DOING OKAY.
WHAT I HAVE IS CORN,
A MARKET GRILLED VEGETABLE,
AND THEN A PIECE
OF SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN.
YOU HAVE CHILI
IN THAT?
JUST A LITTLE
BIT, YES.
I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL
REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
I MEAN, IT FITS WELL
HERE IN TENNESSEE.
I THINK MAYBE THE CRUST
WAS A LITTLE BIT THICK.
I JUST PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE
BATTERED IT QUITE AS MUCH.
ALL RIGHT, JOEY AND RORY,
THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL
FOR THESE GUYS.
WHO'S IT GONNA BE?
COME ON, PLEASE.
THIS IS THE MOST NERVOUS
I'VE BEEN ALL COMPETITION LONG,
AND I'M JUST SERVING
TWO PEOPLE.
WE BOTH MADE A DECISION.
IT WASN'T EASY.
EVERYONE'S FOOD
WAS FANTASTIC.
BUT OUR CHOICE IS...
POP‐A‐WAFFLE.
YES!
OH, MY GOD.
YES!
WHAT?!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
WOW. WOW.
SHOCKED RIGHT NOW.
I JUST DIDN'T EXPECT
WAFFLE TO WIN.
SO YOUR REWARD.
BRING IT ON.
WELL, IT'S, UH, RORY'S
TAKAMINE GUITAR.
OH, WOW.
WHAT?
YOU WIN
HIS GUITAR.
IT'S A GUITAR.
OKAY.
SO I KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
HOW IS THAT GUITAR
GONNA HELP YOU WIN THE CITY?
WELL, THE ANSWER IS IT'S ALSO
WORTH $1,000 IN YOUR TILL.
WHAT?!
OH, AND, HEY,
THAT'S NOT ALL.
LATER ON TONIGHT,
JOEY AND RORY,
THEY'RE THROWING A LITTLE EVENT
HERE ON THEIR PROPERTY
FOR THEIR FANS AND NEIGHBORS.
AND THERE'S GONNA BE
ABOUT 1,500 PEOPLE HERE.
WHOO!
YOU GET THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT
TO SET UP
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE ACTION
AND SERVE EVERYBODY.
WHAT?!
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
$1,000 TOWARDS THEIR TILL
PLUS 1,500 PEOPLE TO SERVE FOR.
YEAH, MM‐HMM, WHO'S GONNA
TOP THAT RIGHT NOW?
NOW, POP‐A‐WAFFLE, THERE'S
A NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE
ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HERE
WHERE YOU CAN SHOP
AND GET READY FOR TONIGHT.
BUT HURRY
AND GET BACK HERE QUICKLY,
BECAUSE THE FANS START ARRIVING
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
NOW FOR THE REST OF YOU, YOU GET
TO GO BACK TO NASHVILLE TO SELL.
NASHVILLE'S AN HOUR NORTH
OF HERE.
YOU'VE GOT ALL WEEKEND.
MAKE THE MOST OF IT.
YOU'RE ALREADY $1,000
IN THE HOLE.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
LET'S GET IN OUR TRUCKS
AND LET'S GET ROLLIN'!
COMING UP...
TELL YOUR TEAMMATES
THEY'RE OFF THE TRUCK.
YOU GUYS ARE OUT.
I'M SO PISSED OFF.
ON THE TACOS,
WE'RE GONNA BUMP IT UP TO $7.
IT'S NOON ON DAY ONE
IN TENNESSEE,
AND NONNA'S KITCHENETTE,
SEOUL SAUSAGE,
AND MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB
ARE SCRAMBLING
TO MAKE THE HOUR‐LONG DRIVE
FROM TINY POTTSVILLE
BACK TO NASHVILLE.
WHEN WE GET THERE, YOU WILL NEED
TO PREP LOTS OF TRUFFLES.
BUT ALL POP‐A‐WAFFLE
NEEDS TO DO IS STOCK UP.
SO WE GOT MILK.
WE GOT EGGS. WE GOT BUTTERMILK.
AHH, YEAH.
CHICKEN!
THEY JUST WON
A $1,000 ADVANTAGE
ON JOEY AND RORY'S FARM,
AND NOW THEY GET
TO GO BACK THERE AND SELL
TO HUNDREDS
OF COUNTRY MUSIC FANS.
LOOK AT THE PEOPLE!
OH, MY GOSH.
WHOO!
WE GET BACK TO JOEY AND RORY'S.
THE CROWD HAS TRIPLED
AT THIS POINT.
DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE
THE DREDGING PROCESS?
A LITTLE
BUTTERMILK, THEN THAT,
AND THEN
IN THERE, YEAH.
AND THEN OVER.
ONE, TWO, THREE, YOU GOT IT.
WAFFLES!
WAFFLES! WAFFLES! WAFFLES!
THIS IS GONNA BE INSANE.
WE ARE SO BUSY.
NONSTOP ACTION ON THIS TRUCK.
THAT'S A SEOUL SAUSAGE SIGN
THAT THEY USED TO HAVE.
THERE SEEMS TO BE
KIND OF, LIKE,
A SMALL, LITTLE BLOCK PARTY
HAPPENING AT THIS PLACE
CALLED GREEN WAGON.
GREEN WAGON'S A LOCAL SHOP
IN EAST NASHVILLE
AT FIVE POINTS.
I'M FEELING REALLY, REALLY GOOD
ABOUT THIS LOCATION
AND ABOUT THIS PARTY.
HEY, IS THERE A POSSIBILITY
THAT WE COULD DO
AN EXCLUSIVE DEAL
WITH YOU GUYS?
THAT'D BE AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, GUYS.
DUDE, EXCLUSIVE!
I THINK TIFFANY'S DONE
A REALLY GOOD JOB
OF FINDING US CONNECTIONS
WHO WILL HELP US OUT.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT WORK
DOWNTOWN.
THERE'S A LOCAL
ICE CREAM SHOP
THAT WE WANT
TO PARK IN FRONT OF.
EVEN THOUGH IT'S A LITTLE BIT
LATER IN THE DAY,
WE'RE HOPING
WE CAN STILL GET THERE.
THERE SHOULD BE FOOT TRAFFIC.
IT'S BETTER THAN
NOT HAVING A SPOT AND WONDERING
WHERE WE'RE GOING.
I'M GONNA TELL MEGAN TO SAVE
A SPOT AT FIVE POINTS, JAC.
IF FIVE POINTS
DOESN'T WORK OUT,
WE CAN ALWAYS MOVE TO ONE
OF THE FOOD TRUCK ZONES
IF WE THINK
THAT'S GONNA BE BETTER.
OUR FRIEND MEGAN LIVES HERE
IN NASHVILLE,
AND SHE'S GOING TO SAVE US
A SPOT DOWN AT FIVE POINTS.
WHERE IS IT?
DOWNTOWN AREA.
IT'S A LOT OF HIPSTERS.
IT'S BARS,
RESTAURANTS.
THIS IS GREAT. WE CAN BE
RIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
WHERE'S THE LIST?
IT'S ON THE BACKSEAT.
WE DON'T WANT TO FORGET
SOMETHING.
KIMCHI BALLS‐‐
RICE, CHEESE, KIMCHI,
PORK,
GREEN ONIONS, GARLIC,
AND JALAPEÑO.
WE'RE MAKING ROOT BEER FLOATS,
SO WE NEED TO GET
OUR VANILLA ICE CREAM
AND OUR ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.
HOW MANY DO YOU WANT?
THREE.
40 POUNDS.
200 SERVINGS PER BOX.
EIGHT, NINE, TEN.
MEGAN JUST TEXTED ME.
WE HAVE A CORNER SPOT
AT FIVE POINTS. SHE SAID
IT'S THE BEST SPOT.
OH, AWESOME.
SO HOPEFULLY IT WORKS OUT.
THEN WE'LL TAKE IT.
SHE'S AWESOME.
HEY, HOW ARE YA?
CAN WE SNEAK UP HERE AND ASK
THESE FOLKS SOMETHING?
- COME RIGHT IN, RORY!
- THERE THEY ARE.
HEY, GUYS.
HOW YOU DOIN'?
HEY!
IT'S SELLING SO WELL.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO TASTE IT.
YOU GOT ANYTHING FOR US?
- OH, YEAH.
- I HAVE NEVER HAD CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.
OH, MY GOSH.
THESE WILL GO
STRAIGHT TO YOUR HIPS,
AND I'M TALKING TO YOU,
ALL RIGHT?
WHOO!
WE'RE SO HAPPY JOEY AND RORY
STOPPED BY THE TRUCK.
CHEF ANTHONY IS PREPARING
CHICKEN THE WAY THEY LIKE IT.
I DIDN'T DOUBLE‐DREDGE IT,
SO HOPEFULLY, UM,
HOPEFULLY
YOU GUYS LIKE IT.
OH, YEAH.
THAT'S DELICIOUS WITH THAT SYRUP
ON THERE, TOO.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
YOU TRY SOME OF THIS.
MM‐HMM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
WE'RE THE SEOUL SAUSAGE TRUCK.
WE'RE HERE
FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
WE'RE MAKING OUR
DEEP‐FRIED KIMCHI RICE BALLS
AND KOREAN BARBECUE BURGER.
I THINK THESE PEOPLE ARE REALLY
GONNA EMBRACE OUR FOOD.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE
SOME MONEY TODAY.
WE'VE GOT FOUR BURGERS
AND FIVE BALLS!
- FIVE BALLS!
- FIVE BALLS!
TWO BALLS FOR CHRIS.
NUMBERS ONE, TWO,
AND THREE,
YOUR ROOT BEER FLOATS!
SO WE'RE DOING OUR PIZZELLE
ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.
PIZZELLE
IS AN ITALIAN WAFFLE COOKIE,
MY FAVORITE COOKIE
SINCE I WAS THREE YEARS OLD.
OUR MENU FOR TONIGHT
IS GONNA BE
OUR ITALIAN MEATBALL SLIDERS,
WAFFLE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES...
IT'S GONNA MELT
AND BE DELICIOUS.
AND OUR ROOT BEER FLOATS
FOR $5.
THE WAFFLE IS $7. $19.
IT'S CONSISTENT
RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT CRAZY BUSY, THOUGH.
POP‐A‐WAFFLE HAS $1,000, PLUS
THEY'RE FEEDING 1,500 PEOPLE.
I JUST DON'T SEE CATCHING UP
TO THEM ANYTIME SOON.
GUYS, I'M GONNA GO TAKE A WALK
TO GET MORE PEOPLE.
- I'LL BE BACK.
- OKAY.
STOP. AND THEN IF YOU
WANT TO JUST PULL FORWARD
JUST A LITTLE.
FINALLY.
WE'VE GOT TACOS THAT'LL MAKE
YOUR HAIR STAND ON END!
WE'VE GOT HAND‐ROLLED
CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES,
COOL, CREAMY COLESLAW!
COME ON IN AND TRY IT!
I'M A LITTLE LEERY
ABOUT THE CROWD TONIGHT.
YOU KNOW,
WE DO HAVE CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE,
WHICH IS ALWAYS GREAT,
BUT WE'RE NOT SLAMMED.
TWO THINGS
OF BABY BEAR CHOCOLATE. OKAY.
AND I'LL TAKE
A MEDIUM LEMONADE.
I JUST HOPE THAT PEOPLE
ARE ACTUALLY DOWN HERE
AND THEY COME OUT.
WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
COME ON OVER!
ALL RIGHT, GENTS,
WE'VE GOT ABOUT 15 MINUTES LEFT.
WE HAVE GONE THROUGH OVER
TWO AND A HALF RECEIPT BOOKS.
THAT SOUNDS
LIKE MONEY TO ME.
IF DAY ONE IS ANY INDICATION
OF HOW OUR WEEKEND'S GONNA GO
HERE IN NASHVILLE,
DAY TWO‐‐BRING IT ON.
WE PROBABLY MADE EASILY
OVER ANOTHER $1,000...
EASILY.
IN ONE FELL SWOOP.
I'D BE SHOCKED,
STUNNED, FLOORED
IF WE DIDN'T MAKE IT
TO THE NEXT CITY
AFTER THE BUSINESS
THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING TODAY.
TOGETHER...
65.
- SHE'S THE LAST WAFFLE.
- YEP, THANK YOU.
IT'S ON ITS WAY OUT.
WE WERE FIRST LAST WEEK.
AND HE WE ARE NOT DOING AS WELL
AS WE COULD BE.
HOW DO YOU GO FROM SO HIGH
TO SO LOW?
THE POSITIVE THING
ABOUT TONIGHT
IS THAT WE USED OUR DOWNTIME,
AND WE PREPPED, LIKE,
200 MEATBALLS
FOR TOMORROW.
AWESOME, DUDE.
LAST ORDER.
TWO MORE.
LAST ORDER.
GOOD JOB, GUYS.
HEY, JUDY AND CHRISTIAN,
WE GOT YOU GUYS!
SOLID DAY TODAY. WE FED
EVERYONE HERE AT THE PARTY.
IF WE CAN KEEP OUR MOMENTUM
GOING LIKE THIS,
I REALLY THINK
WE HAVE A GOOD SHOT
AT CATCHING UP
TO POP‐A‐WAFFLES.
YEAH, WE'RE GONNA
BE HERE.
LET'S GO.
ONE, TWO, THREE!
WE'RE GONNA CALL IT
A NIGHT.
YEAH, THE PEOPLE AROUND HERE
JUST AREN'T VERY INTERESTED.
IT'S JUST ANOTHER FRUSTRATING
PIECE OF THIS DAY.
WE EXPECTED THE CROWDS
TO BE HERE,
AND THEY'RE JUST NOT.
I'M READY TO JUST START FRESH
TOMORROW.
GOOD NIGHT, NASHVILLE.
COMING UP...
I NEED SOMEBODY BEHIND ME!
A VAN HAS BACKED
INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.
DUDE, I THINK WE KILLED IT
YESTERDAY.
LET'S GO
TO THE SAME SPOT, MAN.I AGREE.
IT'S DAY TWO IN NASHVILLE,
AND THREE OF OUR FOUR TEAMS
ARE LOOKING TO REBOUND
AFTER A ROCKY SATURDAY.
LET'S GO TO THE PARK,
SEE HOW THAT HAPPENS.
SOUNDS GOOD.
NONNA'S KITCHENETTE IS HEADING
TO CENTENNIAL PARK
WHERE A MAJOR TRIATHLON
IS ALREADY UNDER WAY.
WE HAVE SO MUCH FOOD TO SELL.
THE ONLY GOOD‐‐
POSITIVE THING IS THAT WE HAVE
A TON OF FOOD PREPPED.
SEOUL SAUSAGE IS BACK
FOR ANOTHER DAY
AT THE GREEN WAGON...
STOP RIGHT HERE.
STOP RIGHT HERE.
BUT FIRST THEY HAVE TO RESTOCK
AT THE WAREHOUSE STORE.
HEY, JUST GIVE ME A HEADS UP
WHEN I GET CLOSE TO TRINITY.
YEAH, YEAH.
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB
HAS A PLAN TO TEAM UP
WITH A LOCAL DESSERT COMPANY
CALLED THE CUPCAKE COLLECTION.
WE WILL SEE YOU HERE
IN A LITTLE BIT,
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND POP‐A‐WAFFLE IS BETTING
ON A NEIGHBORHOOD
CALLED 12 SOUTH.
KEEP GOING HERE.
IT'S ON THE RIGHT.
BUT THAT'S ABOUT THE EXTENT
OF THEIR PLAN.
RIGHT HERE. WHAT'S THIS?
CAN WE PARK THERE?
UH...
WHAT ABOUT THIS SPOT
ACROSS THE STREET
THAT YOU CAN JUST TURN AROUND
AND PULL INTO?
YEAH,
WHY DON'T WE DO THAT?
COULD YOU DO THAT?
OKAY, HERE WE GO.
12 SOUTH IS SUPPOSED TO BE
ONE OF THE HOT SPOTS ON SUNDAY.
THERE'S APPARENTLY SUPPOSED
TO BE A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC.
SO I AM SUPER EAGER
TO TRY AND GET PREPPED
AND GET OPEN
AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
WE KNOW TIME IS TICKING.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
BUT WE JUST HAVE TO CONCENTRATE,
MAKE THE BEST FOOD WE CAN,
GET AS MUCH SALES AS WE CAN
UNDER OUR BELT
AND JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST.
THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM.
OH, YEAH.
WE'RE HEADED
TO THE CUPCAKE COLLECTION,
AND IT'S DOWN
IN GERMANTOWN, NASHVILLE.
IT SHOULD BE A GOOD AREA.
IT'S GOT CHURCHES THAT ARE
GONNA LET OUT FOR LUNCH.
WE'RE OUTSIDE A SHOP
THAT'S SUPPORTING US.
I'M HOPEFUL THAT TODAY GOES
A LOT BETTER THAN LAST NIGHT.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE
ROLLING THROUGH THE DOOR TODAY.
WE'RE JUST DOING OUR TACOS
AND LEMONADE,
AND WE WILL SEND EVERYONE
YOUR WAY FOR DESSERT.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL GET TO WORK.
SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE GONNA HAVE
A NICE, STEADY...
CUPCAKE/TACO CROWD HERE
IN JUST A LITTLE WHILE.
I CAN'T GO LEFT HERE.
IT'S GONNA BE
THE NEXT ONE THEN.
YOU KNOW WHAT, TED?
I'M JUST GONNA PULL OVER.
CAN YOU JUST PLEASE
GET DIRECTIONS?
EVERYONE'S GETTING
FRUSTRATED HERE.
OBVIOUSLY WE MADE A WRONG TURN.
YONG'S REALIZING HOW FAR IT IS.
EVERYONE WANTS THAT EXTRA MINUTE
TO SELL.
GO RIGHT HERE. RIGHT?
YEAH. OH, NO, LEFT. SORRY.
LEFT. LEFT. SORRY. SORRY.
JUST PRESS
THE ROUTE, TED.
I‐I AM‐‐
I AM ON THE ROUTE.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU KNOW
IF IT'S LEFT OR RIGHT?
I SAID LEFT
THE WHOLE TIME.
TENSIONS ARE HIGH
IN THE CAR RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE WE KEEP GETTING LOST,
AND WE'RE LOSING PRECIOUS TIME.
HEY, LET'S RESET, OKAY?
RESET, OKAY?
CHRIS, COME ON,
RESET.
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S 106.
- A KILO OF GARLIC, CHEESE.
- WE DEFINITELY NEED
TO GET OUT OF HERE
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
THE TRIATHLON'S, LIKE,
GOING AROUND.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN THESE PEOPLE
ARE GONNA LEAVE
OR WHERE THEY'RE GONNA
EXIT FROM.
SO MOVING A FOOD TRUCK
IS SO NOT LIKE MOVING A CAR.
YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THE BACK.
YOU CAN BARELY SEE
TO YOUR RIGHT.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW BIG
THIS STREET IS,
BUT I NEED TO GET
TO THIS PARKING SPOT.
SO I'M THINKING IF I JUST PULL
INTO THIS DRIVEWAY AND PULL OUT,
I'LL BE ABLE TO GET THERE
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I NEED SOMEBODY BEHIND ME!
I JUST HIT A CAR.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY THIS JUST HAPPENED OR HOW.
JESS, WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO? LET'S GO.
THIS IS MY FAULT
THAT I HIT SOMETHING,
BUT THIS SO COULD
HAVE BEEN AVOIDED
IF MY TEAMMATES
WERE THERE TO HELP ME.
WE'VE HAD
A MINOR 10‐45.
A VAN HAS BACKED
INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.
I'M SO PISSED OFF.
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GONNA GO HOME
BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE
JUST BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT,
BUT IT'S GONNA BE
A BIG PART OF IT.
THIS IS GONNA
SEND US HOME.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
WE'LL ALL‐‐
NO, NO, EVERYTHING'S
GONNA SEND US HOME.
THIS JUST IS AN ADDITION
TO THROWING IT OVER THE TOP.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THIS
ACCIDENT IS GONNA COST US.
I JUST REALLY HOPE
THAT TYLER'S UNDERSTANDING.
IF HE'S NOT,
THEN THAT COULD SEND US HOME.
WE GOT AN OFFICER RIGHT OVER
HERE. HE'S GONNA NEED
YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE,
INFORMATION.
OKAY, YEAH, WHATEVER
WE NEED TO DO.
SO I GUESS IT'S SAFE TO SAY
OUR NASHVILLE STOP
IS OFF WITH A BANG.
STILL, IT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE
WHEN YOU THINK
THESE TRUCKS
WERE BRAND‐SPANKING‐NEW
JUST A MONTH AGO,
AND NOW THEY'RE HUMMING ALONG
LIKE THEY'VE BEEN
DOING THIS FOR YEARS.
THE TRUTH IS THEY HAVEN'T.
THERE'S STILL A FEW MORE THINGS
THESE GUYS COULD STAND TO LEARN.
HELLO?
Hey, what's up, guys?
HI, TYLER.
Bobaloo, hand the phone
to Anthony.
THIS CALL IS FOR
THE CHEFS.
CALL'S FOR YOU,
ANTHONY.
HELLO?
IT'S SPEED BUMP
TIME.
OKAY,
SPEED BUMP TIME.
Hey, you've all gone
from green rookies,
and I mean
green as a plantain,
TO SEASONED
FOOD TRUCK OPERATORS
in, I think, a pretty short
period of time.
But if you win this race,
YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO HIRE PEOPLE
TO HELP YOU OUT WITH THE TRUCK
WHEN YOU GET HOME.
AM I RIGHT?
YEAH.
That is where
your speed bump comes in.
Chris, Anthony, Lisa,
and Angela,
TELL YOUR TEAMMATES
THEY'RE OFF THE TRUCK...
YOU GUYS
ARE OFF THE TRUCK.
Right now.
HE REALLY MEANS IT.
LIKE, RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW?
CAN I HAVE
MY PHONE BACK?
NO‐‐LATER.
They can hang out
and watch you,
but they can't help
in any way.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GUYS CAN WATCH, BUT THAT IS IT.
LISTEN, DON'T PANIC.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO RUN
THE TRUCK BY YOURSELF.
I COULD
IF I HAD TO.
NO. LUCKY FOR YOU, THERE HAPPENS
TO BE A CULINARY SCHOOL
right here in Nashville
FILLED WITH EAGER YOUNG CHEFS
that would love
to help you out today.
OH, MAN, THIS IS GONNA BE
A CRAZY SPEED BUMP.
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES,
EIGHT STUDENTS
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CULINARY
SCHOOLS AT THE ART INSTITUTES
ARE GONNA BE ARRIVING BY CAB.
YOU GET TWO STUDENTS PER TRUCK.
I'M GETTING KIDS
FROM A CULINARY SCHOOL.
THEY ARE YOUR TEAMMATES
FOR THE DAY.
But remember,
although these students
are at the top of their class
AND ON THEIR WAY
TO BECOMING GREAT CHEFS,
THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOU,
your product, or your truck.
And you don't have time
to stop now and train.
THE RACE, AS THEY SAY,
STOPS FOR NO ONE.
LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA HAVE
A CUPCAKE AND A COFFEE.
And remember, your first time
on a food truck
WAS FOUR SHORT WEEKS AGO,
SO BE PATIENT.
THANKS.
IT'S OKAY.
YOU CAN DO IT.
LOVE YOU.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS, I LOVE YOU.
THIS COMPETITION JUST GOT CRAZY,
AND SO DID I.
WE'RE FROM
THE ART INSTITUTES.
- LOOKING FOR CHRIS.
- HEY!
IT'S THE MIDDLE OF DAY TWO
IN NASHVILLE,
AND I'VE JUST GIVEN THE TEAMS
A SERIOUS SPEED BUMP.
STEPHANIE, ANGELA.
MY NAME'S PATRICK.
PATRICK.
NICE TO MEET YOU BOTH.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
EACH OF THE LEAD CHEFS ARE
GETTING TWO CULINARY STUDENTS
FROM THE ART INSTITUTES
TO HELP THEM RUN THEIR TRUCK.
I THINK
THIS COULD BE A GOOD DAY,
'CAUSE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A CHEF.
I'M A HOME COOK.
PROBLEM IS THAT MEANS
EACH OF THEIR TWO TEAMMATES
ARE GROUNDED INDEFINITELY
AND HAVE TO WATCH
FROM THE SIDELINES.
YOU GUYS HAVE NEVER WORKED
ON A FOOD TRUCK, HAVE YOU?
NO.
BUT YOU'VE WORKED
IN A KITCHEN...
OF COURSE.
PROBABLY WAY MORE
THAN I HAVE,
SO YOU PROBABLY HAVE A MUCH
BETTER SYSTEM THAN I DO.
TODAY HAS BEEN EXTREMELY ROUGH
ON OUR TEAM,
AND I'M JUST PRAYING THAT THESE
CHEFS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING
AND CAN REALLY HELP.
WE'RE DOING HOMEMADE
MEATBALLS,
WHICH WE'VE ALREADY ROLLED
ALL THE OTHER DAY,
SO REALLY JUST MAKING MEATBALL
SLIDERS OUT OF THEM RIGHT NOW.
OKAY.
SO WE HAVE HOMEMADE MARINA,
HOMEMADE MEATBALLS, CHEESE.
THAT'S THE MEATBALL SLIDER.
UM, WE'RE DOING PIZZELLE
ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.
- HAVE YOU EVER HAD A PIZZELLE?
- NO.
IT'S AN ITALIAN
WAFFLE COOKIE.
OKAY.
SO IT KINDA TASTES LIKE
A WAFFLE, BUT A LOT BETTER.
IT HAS, LIKE, A LOT OF ITALIAN
FLAVORS‐‐VANILLA, ANISE.
IT'S EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING
NOT BEING ON THE TRUCK.
I THINK SHE LOOKS, LIKE,
IN PEACE OVER THERE,
BUT I JUST DON'T LIKE
SITTING HERE DOING NOTHING.
WE'RE GONNA DO
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.
WE'RE GONNA DO
A STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WAFFLE.
AND THEN WE ALSO‐‐WE ALSO HAVE
A POMEGRANATE LEMONADE
THAT I'VE
ALREADY MADE.
OKAY.
BOB AND SCOTT AREN'T REALLY
IN THE CULINARY FIELD.
BUT THESE TWO GUYS ARE,
SO I REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS
IS GONNA BE GREAT.
JUST REMEMBER,
IT'S STILL A KITCHEN.
IT'S REALLY NO DIFFERENT
THAN ANY OTHER THING
THAT YOU'VE EVER WORKED IN.
I'M GONNA FALL BACK
INTO MY REGULAR ROUTINE
WITH TALKING TO MY OTHER COOKS
THAT I DELEGATE TASKS TO.
ALL OF THE PREP
IS READY.
YOU AND I WILL WORK
ON DISHES TOGETHER,
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT
THE CASH BOX.
ALL RIGHT.
- THE MENU IS REALLY SIMPLE.
- OKAY.
IT'S JUST GRILLING UP
BURGERS.
AND WE DEEP‐FRY SOME, LIKE,
KIMCHI FRIED RICE BALLS.
I MEAN, TYLER GIVES ME
TWO COOKS,
SO WHAT AM I GONNA DO
WITH TWO COOKS?
I'M GONNA PUT THEM
IN THE KITCHEN.
SO THIS IS
WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.
BASICALLY WHAT IT IS
IS WE STEAM RICE,
PURéE SOME KIMCHI,
SPICY PORK, CHEESE,
UH, GREEN ONIONS,
AND WE MIX IT ALL TOGETHER.
WE ROLL IT INTO BALLS,
AND THEN WE DO, LIKE,
YOU KNOW, AN EGG WASH
AND BATTER.
SO IT GOES FLOUR,
EGG, PANKO, DEEP‐FRY.
- KIMCHI‐GARLIC‐JALAPEÑO AIOLI ON TOP.
- OKAY.
AND SPRINKLE A LITTLE
KIMCHI DUST ON IT.
AND BOOM, THAT'S IT‐‐
SO SIMPLE.
I'M GONNA HAVE
BOTH OF YOU HELP ME PREP.
I NEED MORE SLAW
PUT TOGETHER AND CHICKEN.
WE JUST DO
JUST A SMALL DICE.
MY ONLY CONCERN WITH HAVING
THE CULINARY STUDENTS THERE‐‐
IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT I WILL
ACTUALLY HAVE AN EMPLOYEE
RATHER THAN MY KID, SO THIS
WILL BE A NEW EXPERIENCE.
IT'S REALLY, LIKE
A TONG‐FUL,
YOU KNOW, SO THAT IT'S ENOUGH,
BUT NOT A HUGE PORTION.
SAME THING
WITH THE SLAW.
JASON?
THERE'S YOUR TACOS.
DO YOU NOTICE THAT SHE'S
NOT DOING ANY COOKING?
SHE'S TAKING ORDERS.
SHE IS, ISN'T SHE?
I WONDER WHY?
SHE WON'T LET US ANYWHERE
NEAR THAT STOVE.
IT'S NOT DEAD YET,
JUST HAD A LITTLE LULL.
IT'S NOT COOL. THIS LINE‐‐
IF IT DOESN'T BUILD UP...
HE'LL BE
IN TROUBLE.
HE BETTER NOT BE MISSING
SOME MONEY, YOU KNOW?
I KNOW, MAN.
'CAUSE I‐I SAW, LIKE,
FROM A DISTANCE
HE WAS, LIKE, CARRYING
SOME, LIKE, RECEIPTS
IN HIS BACK POCKET.
THERE'S SO MUCH RIGHT NOW
THAT HE HAS TO JUGGLE,
LIKE MARKETING,
AND LIKE...
MARKETING,
FINANCE...
AND MANAGING
THOSE TWO GUYS...
COOKING.
AND, LIKE,
QUALITY CONTROL
ALL THE WAY UP TO MINGLING
WITH THE PEOPLE.
COME ON, CHRIS,
PULL IT TOGETHER, MAN.
THERE'S NOBODY
IN LINE.
ME AND TED WOULD BE
ON OUR PHONES FIRST THING,
SEEING WHERE THE LOCATIONS
ARE AT, TALKING TO PEOPLE.
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE
CONGREGATING TO NEXT?
ARE YOU SERIOUS,
CHRIS?
DUDE, SERIOUSLY?
REALLY, CHRIS?
WHAT THE
ARE YOU DOING?
ME AND TED ARE FURIOUS.
CHRIS IS TRYING ON A HAT.
THAT'S NOT SITTING WELL
FOR ME AND TED‐‐
SHOPPING
WHILE WE'RE ON THE JOB.
THIS IS DAY TWO.
THIS IS‐‐THIS IS IT, MAN.
IF WE DON'T MAKE IT,
WE MIGHT GO HOME.
MS. KELLY!
THANK YOU.
IT'S TURNING OUT TO BE
QUITE A SCENE.
THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE.
WE'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY.
ALL RIGHT,
SO THAT WILL BE $5.
CHANGE UP THE DYNAMIC A LITTLE
BIT‐‐NEVER A BAD THING.
IT SEEMS LIKE THINGS
ARE FLOWING WELL.
SCOTT AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO
BUT CHILL OUT, RELAX.
WE'RE JUST MAKING THE DAY
GO BY AS BEST AS WE CAN.
WHAT ELSE
DO WE NEED?
THERE YOU GO, SIR.
ENJOY.
IT'S NOT QUITE THE CROWDS
WE WERE HOPING FOR.
AND IT'S STARTING TO GET
A LITTLE SLOWER.
I'M NOT FAMILIAR
WITH NASHVILLE.
TIFFANY'S OFF THE TRUCK.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MOVE
AND FIND A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
HI, ANTHONY,
THIS IS ANGELA
FROM MOMMA GRIZZLY'S.
HEY, WHAT'S
GOING ON, HONEY?
WE'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF
THE CUPCAKE SHOP ALL MORNING. Uh‐huh.
So we're thinking we could,
like, come where you're at
AND MAYBE GET MORE TRAFFIC DOWN
THERE FOR ALL OF US.
I‐I THINK THAT
WOULD BE GREAT, YEAH.
WHERE ARE
YOU GUYS AT?
12th AVENUE SOUTH.
Okay,
WE'LL SEE YOU
IN A FEW MINUTES.
ALL RIGHT,
THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
SEE YOU SOON.
THANK YOU GUYS
SO MUCH FOR STOPPING BY.
WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT.
I THINK THIS IS GREAT, ACTUALLY.
I LOVE MY TEAMMATES,
BUT I HAVE TWO CHEFS
HERE RIGHT NOW.
AND IT'S VERY PEACEFUL.
AND THEY DON'T YELL AT ME.
THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING.
THEY'RE SO LAID BACK,
SO EASY TO WORK WITH.
THEY KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
AND I THINK IT'S REALLY
WHAT I NEEDED RIGHT NOW.
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT?
DO YOU NEED US TO YELL?
NO, I LOVE‐‐I'M THE MOST
QUIET, PEACEFUL ONE, SO...
'CAUSE WE CAN SCREAM
AT EACH OTHER.
NO, NO, NO,
I LIKE IT.
I LOVE TALKING
TO THE CUSTOMERS.
I GET TO BE
OUT THE WINDOW TODAY.
ONE RICE BALL, THREE SLIDERS.
YOU GOT IT.
AND IT'S REALLY NICE FOR ONCE
TO NOT BE BEHIND THE GRILL.
CAN WE TALK
FOR A MOMENT
ABOUT GRIZZLY TRUCK
PULLING UP BESIDE US?
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.
WE'VE ARRIVED AT THIS LOCATION
WHERE POP‐A‐WAFFLE'S AT.
AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY
WHAT I EXPECTED.
HOWEVER, THERE'S
NO GUARANTEES IF I MOVE
THAT I'M GONNA FIND
ANYTHING BETTER.
THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS
DRIVE AROUND WASTING MORE TIME.
THEY'RE REALLY GOOD
TACOS.
- DID YOU EAT ALREADY?
- WE JUST ATE.
ARE YOU CONTEMPLATING
DOING ANYTHING
WITH YOUR MENU RIGHT NOW?
IT'S TOUGH FOR ME TO TAKE
SUGGESTIONS FROM OTHER PEOPLE.
I TEND TO LIKE TO KEEP THINGS
IN CONTROL.
IF YOU DID, LIKE,
A CHICKEN QUESADILLA,
YOU HAVE
THE TORTILLA SHELLS.
NO.
AND THEN JUST CHEESE
AND THE CHICKEN‐‐
OR THROW SOME CHEESE
ON THE TACOS THAT YOU HAVE.
YEAH.
CHEESE IS‐‐
CHEESE IS EXCELLENT.
ALL RIGHT, CHEF, THIS IS
THE LAST TICKET FOR US.
AS YOU KNOW,
WE'RE BOTH IN SCHOOL,
SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE ANOTHER
FOOD COMPETITION TOMORROW
AT OUR SCHOOL.
I THINK YOU GUYS DID GREAT,
SO I WISH YOU BOTH
ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
GOOD LUCK.
THANKS FOR ALL
YOUR HELP.
I GET YOU BACK
FOR 30 MINUTES.
- HEY, GIRLS.
- WHAT?
BREAK'S OVER.
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON,
BREAK'S OVER.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GO.
HEY! COME ON!
YES, THANK YOU! WHOO!
DO YOU GUYS WANT TO GET SOME
FRIED BALLS OR A HAMBURGER?
YES. CAN WE SERVE YOU
SOME FOOD?
I GET TED AND YONG BACK,
AND I AM FRICKIN' STOKED.
THERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU, SIR.
FINALLY WE GET TO FRICKIN' WORK,
YOU KNOW?
ALL RIGHT, WHAT CAN I
GET FOR YOU, MAN?
WHY HAVE YOU
SAT HERE ALL DAY?
THERE'S ONLY A LITTLE BIT
OF TIME LEFT TO SELL,
SO I'VE GOT TO GO
HIT THE STREETS.
I'M JUST GONNA GO TALK TO
EVERYBODY I CAN GET MY HANDS ON.
YES.
YAY! THANK YOU.
AWESOME.
I'M IN.
LET'S DO IT.
HI, BABY.
FINALLY, OUR TIME TO PLAY.
THIS IS LIKE THE BOTTOM
OF THE NINTH,
AND WE FINALLY GET
TO GET UP TO BAT.
YOU CANNOT GO WRONG
FOR $5, I SWEAR.
I KNOW IT'S ALMOST THE END
OF THE SELLING DAY.
THERE HAS GOT TO BE
A COUPLE OTHER CUSTOMERS
OUT THERE TO FIND.
IT IS TIME TO GRAB THOSE FLAGS.
WAFFLES.
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.
ONE MINUTE.
ONE MINUTE.
I'M LOOKING FOR MARTY.
LAST LEMONADE
OF THE NIGHT. THANK YOU.
WELL, EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU.
YOU WANT TWO OR ONE?
BEAUTIFUL. $14.
- WE GOT ONE BURGER ALL DAY AND FOUR BALLS!
- HEARD!
- WE'RE NOT WORTHY.
- IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY. WHOO!
THANK YOU, NASHVILLE.
GUYS, DO WE THINK
WE'RE GOING HOME?
UM, I DEFINITELY
THINK THERE'S A CHANCE.
I DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S A CHANCE.
I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THERE'S
A CHANCE THAT WE COULD GO HOME.
WELL, THERE'S A CHANCE
EVERY WEEK.
NO, NO, NO.
THERE'S A DIFFERENT CONFIDENCE
LEVEL FROM WEEK TO WEEK.
CONFIDENCE WAS
IN THE OTHER LEVELS.
THIS I'M QUESTIONING.
I'M JUST PRAYING TO GOD
THAT TYLER SEES
PAST THE ACCIDENT,
KNOWS THAT IT'S AN ACCIDENT.
AND I KEEP LOOKING
AT THE GIRLS
TO BELIEVE
THAT WE'RE NOT GOING HOME.
SO IF WE MAKE IT TO THE‐‐
TO THE NEXT CITY,
THEN WE NEED TO REMAIN CONFIDENT
NO MATTER WHAT OUR DAY
FEELS LIKE,
BECAUSE THAT ENERGY WILL TAKE US
THROUGH THE DAY.
THE ONE THING
WE DO KNOW ABOUT THIS RACE
IS THAT ELIMINATION DAY
IS FULL OF SURPRISES
EVERY SINGLE TIME.
NASHVILLE HASN'T BEEN EXACTLY
EVERYTHING WE HOPED IT WOULD BE.
IT WAS AN OKAY WEEKEND,
BUT WE'RE DOWN
TO THE FINAL FOUR,
AND OKAY
JUST MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH.
AND OKAY
JUST MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH.
WE DID OUR BEST WE CAN.
HOPEFULLY IT'S ENOUGH
TO STAY IN THE RACE.
AND WE'LL FIND OUT
TOMORROW.
I HOPE WE STAY IN.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL.
I WANT TO BE
IN THE TOP THREE SO BAD.
GUYS, IT'S TIME
FOR THE FIFTH
"GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"
ELIMINATION.
AND I'VE GOTTA TELL YA,
I DON'T ENJOY THIS PART AT ALL.
WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT,
ONE OF YOU FOUR TEAMS
ARE GONNA HAND ME YOUR KEYS
AND HEAD HOME RIGHT NOW.
AND AS FOR WHICH TEAM
THAT IS, WELL,
THAT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU.
I THINK WE'RE ALL AWARE
THAT THERE'S ANOTHER INCIDENT
THAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS
BEFORE IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE
HERE IN NASHVILLE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DEAL WITH IT.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.
IN FIRST PLACE
WITH A TOTAL OF...
$3,173‐‐
POP‐A‐WAFFLE.
WOW. OH.
YES.
FIRST PLACE, BABY!
WHOO!
WHAT?!
WE FINALLY TOOK A CITY.
I FEEL LIKE WE ARE
FINALLY STANDING ON TWO FEET,
AND WE'RE JUST ABOUT TO SPRINT
TO THE FINISH LINE.
FIRST PLACE
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
YOU'RE SAFE FOR NOW.
STEP BACK, GUYS.
THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
NOW I'M HAVING A LITTLE BIT
OF DéJà VU FROM LAST WEEK.
NONNA'S KITCHENETTE,
YOU MADE THE SECOND‐MOST AMOUNT
OF MONEY HERE IN NASHVILLE.
BUT, GIRLS, YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY.
NONNA'S,
YOU ARE NOT SAFE.
LUCKILY, THE OWNER OF THE CAR
THAT YOU DAMAGED...
WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING.
VERY.
AND THANK GOODNESS
NOBODY GOT HURT.
BUT THAT ACCIDENT
IS GONNA COST YOU DEARLY
IN THIS RACE.
THIS GROUP AS A WHOLE
HAS GOT TO TIGHTEN UP.
EITHER IN THIS RACE
OR AT HOME,
OPERATING A FOOD TRUCK COMES
WITH TONS OF RESPONSIBILITY,
WHICH BRINGS ME TO THIS.
SINCE THE DRIVER OF THE CAR IS
WILLING TO GO THROUGH INSURANCE,
YOU'RE ONLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE.
I HAVE TO SAY,
IT'S A WEIRD PRECEDENT
THAT GRIZZLY GRUB SET LAST
WEEKEND, BUT HERE WE GO AGAIN.
THAT DEDUCTIBLE‐‐
IT'S $250,
AND IT'S COMING
OUT OF YOUR TILL.
THAT'S A STIFF PENALTY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN TEAMS
ARE GOING HOME
FOR LESS THAN $30.
SO WITH THAT ADJUSTMENT,
LET'S CONTINUE.
IN SECOND PLACE
AND SAFE...
WITH $2,321‐‐
NONNA'S KITCHENETTE.
OH, MY GOD.
I AM SO HAPPY.
I'M SO BEYOND HAPPY.
WE ARE IN SECOND PLACE.
I AM JUST SO SHOCKED
THAT WITH THIS ACCIDENT,
WE WERE ABLE
TO PULL IT TOGETHER.
SO THAT LEAVES THE BOTTOM TWO,
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB
AND SEOUL SAUSAGE.
BEING IN THE BOTTOM TWO AGAIN
IS DEFINITELY NOT
WHERE WE WANT TO BE.
WE EXPECTED NASHVILLE
TO BE OUR CITY,
AND THAT WE WERE GONNA DO
EXTREMELY WELL HERE.
WE STILL WANT TO MOVE ON.
WE STILL WANT TO WIN THIS.
AND SEOUL SAUSAGE,
THIS IS NEW TERRITORY FOR YOU.
I KNOW HOW COMPETITIVE
YOU GUYS ARE.
THIS CAN'T BE FUN.
SO ARE YOU GUYS
PREPARED TO GO HOME?
- NOT AT ALL.
- BEING IN THE BOTTOM TWO FEELS TERRIBLE.
I'VE NEVER FELT
THIS FEELING BEFORE.
I WANT THIS SO BAD,
AND I'VE NEVER WANTED ANYTHING
SO BAD IN MY LIFE.
OKAY, GUYS, THIS IS THE END
OF THE LINE FOR ONE OF YOU.
IN THIRD PLACE
AND SAFE...
WITH $2,297‐‐
SEOUL SAUSAGE.
IT MAKES ME CRY, DUDE.
- GOOD JOB, GUYS.
- OH, COME HERE.
I PROMISE THIS WILL NEVER,
EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
I'M GONNA WORK HARDER.
I'M GONNA PUT THE BEST FOOD OUT.
I WILL NOT
LET THIS HAPPEN.
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB,
I'M SORRY,
YOU GUYS GAVE IT
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE.
IT JUST WASN'T ENOUGH
HERE IN NASHVILLE.
YOU MADE $1,919.
ANGELA, YOU REACHED
FOR YOUR DREAMS,
AND YOU SUCCEEDED
WILDLY.
YOU ARE WHAT THIS YEAR'S RACE
IS ALL ABOUT.
AND WHILE YOU DIDN'T WIN
THIS FOOD TRUCK,
I'M SURE THERE'S GONNA BE
A MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB
ROLLING AROUND WASILLA
IN NO TIME AT ALL.
ALL RIGHT, ANGELA,
MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB,
IT'S TIME.
I NEED YOUR KEYS, PLEASE.
HERE YOU GO.
THANKS SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
THANKS.
YOU GUYS DID
A GREAT JOB.
GUYS, A ROUND OF APPLAUSE
FOR MOMMA'S GRIZZLY GRUB.
THEY FOUGHT HARD.
ENDING THE RACE
IS NOT THE END OF MY DREAMS.
IT'S REALLY JUST THE START.
AND IT'S GIVEN ME THE FOUNDATION
TO GO FORWARD
AND BE SUCCESSFUL.
I HOPE THAT OUR STORY
WILL INSPIRE SOMEONE ELSE
TO TAKE THAT LEAP OF FAITH
AND FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS.
WELL, THEN TAKE A LOOK
AROUND, GUYS.
WE STARTED OUT
WITH EIGHT TEAMS,
AND NOW YOU'RE LOOKING
AT THE FINAL THREE.
CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS,
YOU ALL MADE IT THROUGH
A VERY ROUGH WEEKEND
HERE IN NASHVILLE.
NOW YOU HAVE A 1‐IN‐3 CHANCE
OF WINNING
YOUR VERY OWN FOOD TRUCK
AND $50,000.
SO STOP NUMBER SIX‐‐
WHERE COULD WE POSSIBLY
BE GOING NOW?
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW SOMETIMES
LIFE JUST SUDDENLY TAKES
A LEFT TURN?
WELL, THAT'S WHAT
THIS RACE
IS ABOUT TO DO,
LITERALLY.
OUR NEXT CITY
IS 522 MILES
HEADING MOSTLY NORTH
AND SLIGHTLY EAST.
WE'RE GOING
TO CLEVELAND, OHIO.
LET'S GET ROLLIN'!
I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS
FOR THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW.
I'M STILL TRYING TO JUST WRAP
MY BRAIN AROUND IT.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW WE DID THIS,
BUT I'M SO PROUD OF US.
NEXT TIME ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
CLEVELAND,
LET ME YEAR YA!
LET'S GET ROLLIN'.
ONLY ONE TEAM
CAN GET THIS REWARD,
- AND IT WILL PROBABLY PUT THAT TEAM IN THE FINALE.
- LOOKING GOOD, GIRLS.
I WISH WE HAD DONE
THIS MOVE 45 MINUTES PRIOR.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,
YOU KNOW? JUST MOVE ON.
YOU'LL HAVE FIVE MINUTES
TO OFFLOAD YOUR TRUCK.
YOU'LL HAVE FIVE MINUTES
TO OFFLOAD YOUR TRUCK.
IT IS MAD FOOT TRAFFIC
DOWN THERE.
PEOPLE, ARE YOU HUNGRY?
