In New England, the teams get sent to tiny Lubec, Maine, to do business.
PREVIOUSLY ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
IT STARTED WITH A BANG
SIX WEEKS AGO
IN LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
AMAZING!
THIS IS MY DREAM.
EIGHT TEAMS
OF FOOD TRUCK ROOKIES
BEGAN A WILD
CROSS‐COUNTRY QUEST
TO WIN $50,000
AND THE FOOD TRUCK
OF THEIR DREAMS.
WE CANNOT GO BACK TO ATLANTA
WITHOUT THAT FOOD TRUCK.
SO FAR, THE TEAMS
HAVE CROSSED 15 STATES
AND COVERED 2,800 MILES.
IT’S THE HARDEST THING I’VE
EVER DONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
EVER.
THEY’VE COOKED...
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WERE
WAITING FOR SOME WINGS.
SOLD...
FRIED BALLS!
STRATEGIZED...
WE’LL PUT
THE TOP TWO TRUCKS
IF YOU LET US COME IN.
AND STRUGGLED.
FRIED CATFISH.
AND SIX OF THEM...
STOP!
SAW THEIR
FOOD TRUCK DREAMS END
IN DISAPPOINTMENT.
I WISH WE HAD DONE THIS MOVE
45 MINUTES PRIOR.
I NEED YOUR KEYS.
NOW THERE ARE TWO,
BUT THIS RACE IS FAR FROM OVER.
THE FINALE...
STARTS RIGHT NOW.
THE TEAMS HAVE
THEIR SEED MONEY...
IT’S 500 BUCKS.
AND THEY HAVE ONE MORE
GIANT MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB.
THIS IS A MULTICITY RACE
TO THE FINISH...
WHAT?
AND IT’S GONNA
BE TOUGH.
OH, MY GOD.
THE JERSEY GIRLS
OF NONNA’S KITCHENETTE
BEGAN THIS RACE
AS THREE HOME COOKS
WHO JUST WANTED TO COOK
THEIR GRANDMAS’ RECIPES.
THEY’RE AWESOME!
BUT CITY BY CITY...
NUMBER 22!
THEIR SKILLS
HAVE GROWN SHARPER
IN EVERY WAY.
OUR GRANDMAS WOULD BE
SO PROUD OF US RIGHT NOW.
NOW THEY’RE A FORCE
TO BE RECKONED WITH.
THE SEOUL SAUSAGE TEAM STARTED
OUT LIKE A HOUSE ON FIRE.
CHEESY BALLS!
BUT A NEAR‐DEATH EXPERIENCE
IN NASHVILLE
SHOOK THESE GUYS UP IN A WAY
THEY NEVER SAW COMING.
THIS COMPETITION JUST GOT CRAZY
AND SO DID I.
THESE THREE BEGAN THIS RACE
DETERMINED TO SHOW
THEIR PARENTS
THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL
IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY.
BUT NOW THEY ALSO WANT TO WIN
THIS COMPETITION
FOR THEMSELVES.
GO RUN THOSE BALLS LIKE
YOU’VE NEVER RUN THEM BEFORE.
NOW THE RACE COMES HERE
TO BOSTON,
BUT NOT FOR LONG,
’CAUSE OUR TWO FINAL TEAMS
ARE ABOUT TO WAGE A 3‐CITY,
335‐MILE BATTLE

WE ARE HEADING TO THE FINALE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. I
THINK I’M STILL REALLY IN SHOCK.
WHOEVER THOUGHT THAT
THREE GIRLS FROM JERSEY,
FROM OUR LITTLE KITCHENS,
WOULD GET THIS FAR?
NOW IT’S FOR REAL.
LIKE, "OH, MY GOD,
WE’RE THE TOP TWO TEAMS.
DRIVE FASTER, FOOL.
WE GOT TO GET TO BOSTON, MAN.
BOSTON.
THIS IS CRAZY.
WE CAN SEE THE FINISH LINE.
I WANT THIS FOR US. YOU KNOW,
I WANT THIS FOR TED AND YONG.
I WANT US TO RUN
OUR OWN BUSINESS.
I NEED THIS.
I’VE NEVER WANTED ANYTHING MORE.
BOSTON’S NOT GONNA EVEN KNOW
WHAT HIT ’EM.
LET’S CHECK OUT
WHO’S IN BOSTON
AND SEE WHAT THEY’RE UP TO
THIS WEEKEND.
THERE’S A TRUCK
CALLED MEI MEI,
SO I’M GONNA CALL THEM.
YES, HI. MY NAME IS JACLYN.
WE ARE NONNA’S KITCHENETTE,
AND WE WERE LOOKING TO SEE
IF WE CAN TEAM UP WITH YOU.
YAY!
COMING INTO BOSTON IS
AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE.
BOSTON’S REALLY FILLED
WITH A LOT OF LOCAL FOOD TRUCKS.
THE MEI MEI TRUCK
WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH
TO ALLOW US TO TEAM UP WITH THEM
FOR THE DAY,
SO WE’RE REALLY EXCITED.
I WANT TO, LIKE,
BLOW IT UP.
I DON’T WANT SAUSAGE TO EVEN
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM.
BACK IN L. A., THIS DUDE
NAMED JOHNNY CUPCAKES
OWNS, LIKE, THIS, LIKE,
HUGE CLOTHING LINE,
AND HE’S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET
FROM MY HOUSE.
APPARENTLY, HIS HEADQUARTERS
IS IN BOSTON.
SO WHY DON’T WE TRY
AND DROP HIM A LINE?
HEY, JOHNNY, THIS IS YONG
FROM SEOUL SAUSAGE.
WE’RE A, UH, KOREAN BARBECUE
FOOD TRUCK, AND WE’RE WONDERING
IF WE COULD SWING BY
AND PARK OUR TRUCK THERE?
AWESOME.
JOHNNY CUPCAKES’ HEADQUARTERS IS
IN BOSTON RIGHT ON NEWBURY.
WE THINK THIS IS GONNA BE
A PERFECT LOCATION
FOR SEOUL SAUSAGE
TO PARK OUR TRUCK.
FOOD, FASHION, AND FUN.
YEAH. OH, MY GOSH.
THIS IS RIGHT UP OUR ALLEY.
BOSTON, WE’RE COMING.
LET’S TRY TO STOCK UP
ON EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN
RIGHT NOW,
REALLY THINK
ABOUT THE MENU,
AND GET AS MUCH AS WE CAN
FOR THIS $500.
WE’RE GONNA DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN TO GET IN AND OUT
OF THIS GROCERY STORE
EXTREMELY QUICK,
BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT
WE DO BEST.
STOCK IT UP.
AND HEAD OUT.
WE’RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE MENU
TOO COMPLICATED.
SIMPLE IS BETTER,
AS MY NONNA’S ALWAYS TOLD ME.
LET’S DO THIS.
YEAH.
CHEESE, EGGS.
CHEESE, APPLES.
I GOT A LIST GOING. MINT.APPLES.
BASICALLY WANT TO KEEP
THE SAME MENU‐‐
BURGERS AND THE FRIED BALLS.
BEEF, PORK, RICE.
WHY FIX SOMETHING
THAT’S NOT BROKE?
CHRIS, LET’S GO!
STRAWBERRIES. APPLES.
ALL RIGHT, COOL.
TYLER GAVE US 500 BUCKS,
AND THIS IS THE FINALE,
SO WE’RE GONNA GO FOR THE GUSTO
AND SPEND IT ALL,
STOCK UP FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND.
THAT’S A LOT OF EGGS.
BUTTERMILK
FOR THE RAVIOLIS.
WE’RE CHANGING UP OUR MENU
A LITTLE BIT THIS WEEK.
WE’RE GONNA DO
OUR FRIED RAVIOLIS,
WHICH WE’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE.
IT’S A REALLY QUICK ITEM
THAT’S DELICIOUS.
I KNOW EVERYONE
IS GONNA LOVE THEM.
SO I THINK WE’RE GOOD.
THANK YOU.
OKAY, LET’S GO.
- $384.08 IS YOUR TOTAL.
- HURRY.
DUDE, WE’RE LIKE
5 MINUTES AWAY, MAN.
IT’S GAME TIME.
BOSTON’S A HUGE CITY,
BUT WE DID HIT THE JACKPOT
WITH THIS LOCATION.
IT JUST SEEMS TO BE, LIKE,
THE HEART OF BOSTON.
JUST A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC,
A LOT OF SHOPS. IT’S AWESOME.
MORE, MORE TO THE CURB.
PARTNERING WITH MEI MEI
GIVES US SO MUCH CONFIDENCE
BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY’RE GONNA
DRAW THE CROWDS IN.
IT’S THE PERFECT WAY TO START
OFF THE FINALE IN BOSTON.
WE’RE NOT OPEN YET, BUT JUST
GIVE ME, LIKE, 20 MINUTES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR HAVING US!
GREAT TO SEE
A REALLY LONG LINE,
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO PREP
A HELL OF A LOT OF FOOD.
I’VE BECOME
A HUMAN HAND MIXER.
GIRLS, I THINK WE’LL BE OKAY.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
TAKE A LOOK OUT THE WINDOW,
AND THE LINE IS GINORMOUS.
IT’S GOING DOWN THE BLOCK,
AROUND THE CORNER.
THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BIGGEST
LINE WE’VE EVER SEEN YET.
SEOUL SAUSAGE!
LET’S GO WIN THAT TRUCK,
BOYS!
ALL RIGHT!
WHAT’S UP, BEAN TOWN?
- ARE YOU GUYS HUNGRY?
- YEAH!
ALL RIGHT, WE GOT TWO BURGERS,
TWO BALLS, TWO TA‐TAS,
TWO K‐POPS,
AND TWO LEMONADES.
OH! TWO BALLS.
STARTING OFF STRONG. WHOO!
THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT START.
WE’RE MAKING TONS OF MONEY.
I’M VERY HAPPY.
ONE MORE LEMONADE, GUYS.
THANKS SO MUCH
FOR WAITING.
WE ARE READY TO FEED YOU.
WE ARE SO EXCITED.
THE SAUSAGE BOYS
BETTER WATCH OUT,
BECAUSE WE’RE ON
THE EAST COAST,
AND EVERYBODY HERE
LOVES ITALIAN FOOD,
SO I’M THINKING
THAT WE’RE GONNA
KICK SOME SERIOUS BUTT
THIS WEEKEND.
HI. YOU’RE VERY WELCOME.
IT’S CRAZY BUSY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THE ENERGY
IS JUST SO AMAZING
THAT IT’S JUST BRINGING
PEOPLE IN NONSTOP.
I’M LOSING MY MIND.
THANK YOU.
SO I’M JUST COATING
THE RAVIOLIS
THAT WE’RE GONNA DEEP‐FRY
IN SOME BUTTERMILK AND THEN
SOME ITALIAN BREADCRUMBS,
AND WE’LL FRY ’EM OFF AND SERVE
’EM WITH HOMEMADE SAUCE.
EVERYBODY’S HAPPY
WITH OUR FOOD.
THE FRIED RAVIOLI
IS DOING REALLY WELL.
IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME
THAT EVERYBODY IS WALKING AWAY
HAPPY RIGHT NOW.
HOLD ON,
YOU’RE NUMBER 63.
SO THE TEAMS HAVE JUST LANDED
HERE IN BOSTON,
AND THEY’RE STARTING
TO GET THEIR BEARINGS,
BUT LET’S FACE IT‐‐
THAT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE.
THIS IS NO ORDINARY CITY. IF YOU
CAN RUN A FOOD TRUCK IN BOSTON,
YOU CAN RUN
A FOOD TRUCK ANYWHERE.
I’M SURE WHAT THEY NEED TO DO
IS JUST SETTLE IN
AND FIND THEIR GROOVE,
BUT THIS IS THE FINALE,
AND THAT’S NOT
GONNA HAPPEN JUST YET.
I’M ABOUT TO CALL THEM WITH
A TRUCK STOP COOKING CHALLENGE
THAT’S GONNA TEST THEM FOR SURE,
AND DEFINITELY GIVE ONE OF THEM
A GAME CHANGING ADVANTAGE.
OH, GOD.
OH, NO.
HELLO?
HEY, GUYS, IT’S TYLER.
TYLER.
YOUR TIMING
IS IMPECCABLE, TYLER.
SO HOW ARE YOU LIKING
BOSTON SO FAR?
I’M LIKING IT A LOT,
UNTIL YOU CALLED.
This is a tough place
to run a food truck.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT YOU’RE DOING.
But the good news is,
YOU BOTH ARE ABOUT
AS WELL TRAINED AS IT GETS.
OKAY, WHERE ARE YOU
GOING WITH THIS?
So we’ve talked a lot
over the course of this race
ABOUT TAILORING YOUR MENU
TO LOCAL TASTES.
UH‐HUH.
Your challenge today
is to create a true blue
NEW ENGLAND‐STYLE LOBSTER DISH
that locals are gonna love.
A TRUE NEW ENGLAND
LOBSTER DISH.
IN FACT, LOCALS ARE
GONNA BE YOUR JUDGES.
OH, MY GOD.
In a couple minutes,
you both will be receiving
A VERY SPECIAL DELIVERY.
WE’RE GONNA GET
A SPECIAL DELIVERY.
It’s three lobsters,
AND THEY ARE LIVE.
THREE LIVE LOBSTERS.
YOU GUYS LIKE
LOBSTER?
GET YOUR LOBSTERS,
WHIP UP A DISH,
AND GET READY
TO WOW THE LOCALS.
WE GOTTA START
BOILING WATER.
I THINK YOU JUST NEED
TO STICK ’EM IN.
AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS,
YOU’RE REALLY GONNA WANT
TO WIN THIS CHALLENGE,
BECAUSE THE WINNERS WIN
A MASSIVE ADVANTAGE.
OKAY.
GOOD LUCK, GUYS.
THIS IS A BIG ONE.
It can make all the difference
in the world
on who gets
to keep the food truck
PLUS $50,000.
OH, MY GOD.
Some wicked
awesome lobsters
ARE ON THE WAY TO YOU,
SO LET’S GET COOKIN’.
OH, MY GOD. BYE.
SEE YOU. BYE.
ALL RIGHT, THREE LIVE
LOBSTERS ARE ON THEIR WAY.
WE KNOW GARLIC AND BUTTER
ARE GOOD WITH LOBSTER,
THAT’S FOR SURE,
BUT WHAT ELSE‐‐
WE HAVE PASTA.
WE DO HAVE PASTA.
I’M FREAKING OUT,
BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT WE’RE GONNA
COME UP WITH YET.
JUST KEEP IT NEW ENGLAND,
SO...
ALL I KNOW ABOUT LOBSTER
IS I KNOW HOW TO EAT IT,
AND I KNOW IT’S EXPENSIVE,
SO I DON’T EAT MUCH OF IT.
IT’S GONNA BE TOUGH,
BUT I’LL FIGURE IT OUT.
ALL RIGHT, MAN,
COME ON.
LET’S DO IT.
79.
OH, NO, GUYS,
OUR LOBSTERS ARE HERE.
YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
OH, MY GOD,
I’M GONNA CRY.
HEY, CHRIS, YOU’VE GOT
YOUR LOBSTERS HERE.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD,
IT’S HEAVY.
OH! SORRY, LITTLE GUYS.
OH, MY GOD.
WE GOT SOME LOBSTERS
IN THE HOUSE!
LOBSTER.
HOW ARE WE GONNA BRING
THIS INTO THE TRUCK?
SO TED BRINGS THE LOBSTERS OVER,
AND THEY’RE HUGE,
AND NOW WE’VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM.
OH...
COMING UP ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT WE ARE OPEN BEFORE SEOUL.
IT’S ALL IN
YOUR HANDS.
THAT’S, LIKE, OUR RECORD
TIMES A LOT.
WE’RE DEFINITELY UNDERDOGS.
YOU’RE SCARED.
WE’RE DEFINITELY UNDERDOGS.
YOU’RE SCARED.
WE MOVE...
WE GOTTA ROLL.
AND THEN WE MOVE AGAIN.
SORRY, I’M EMOTIONAL.
YOU’VE JUST MADE
YOUR FINAL SALE, PERIOD.
WE HAVE A WINNER.
THREE MEATBALL, TWO RAVIOLIS,
TWO WAFFLES.
OUR MULTICITY FINALE
HAS JUST BEGUN,
AND BOTH NONNA’S KITCHENETTE
AND SEOUL SAUSAGE
ARE PRIMED TO DO HUGE BUSINESS
HERE IN BOSTON.
ARE PRIMED TO DO HUGE BUSINESS
HERE IN BOSTON.
16.
BUT I’VE THROWN A TRICKY
TRUCK STOP INTO THE MIX.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
GETTING BOILED?
THE TEAMS HAVE TO CREATE A
NEW ENGLAND‐STYLE LOBSTER DISH
THEY’LL BE JUDGED BY A COUPLE
OF LOCAL FISHERMEN.
COULD WE MAKE A CREAM SAUCE
WITH THE BUTTERMILK WE HAVE?
- NEITHER TEAM KNOWS QUITE WHAT TO DO JUST YET...
- AAH!
BUT HERE’S ONE THING
THEY DO KNOW‐‐
THE WINNERS WILL
EARN A HUGE ADVANTAGE
THAT MAY WELL DECIDE WHO
TAKES HOME THEIR FOOD TRUCK,
AND WHO GOES HOME
EMPTY‐HANDED.
OH, GOD, GOT HIM.
ALL TAIL MEAT TODAY.
WE’RE GOING LUXURIOUS TODAY.
THE WAY I’M GONNA GO ABOUT
THIS CHALLENGE THIS WEEK
IS I’M GONNA KEEP IT SIMPLE.
IT’S A LOBSTER, WE IN BOSTON.
I MEAN, I GOTTA DO
A LOBSTER ROLL.
THEY’RE NOT COOKED
ALL THE WAY.
I’M GONNA POACH THEM IN BUTTER
REALLY SLOW,
AND THEN MAKE A LITTLE COLESLAW
ON TOP,
AND JUST KEEP IT
REALLY CLASSIC.
WHAT I’M GONNA DO
IS TAKE THE TAIL...
ALL THIS LOBSTER
INTO ALL THIS BUTTER.
PUT IT ON A BUN, THROW
SOME APPLE COLESLAW ON TOP,
AND THAT’S IT.
KEEP IT SIMPLE.
ONE KIND OF LOBSTER
ON A TINY LITTLE ROLL.
WE’RE EITHER GONNA DO
- A FRIED DIABLO OR LOBSTER CAKES.
- YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WOULD BE FINE WITH
DOING THE LOBSTER CAKE.
AND I THINK THE LOBSTER CAKES
WOULD BE MORE
OF A NEW ENGLAND‐
STYLE DISH.
WE HAVE EVERYTHING ON OUR TRUCK
TO DO LOBSTER CAKES.
WE PUT CLAW MEAT IN IT, SO I
KNOW IT’S GONNA BE INCREDIBLE.
I’M WORKING ON
THE LOBSTER CAKES.
I’M GONNA THROW THE CHUNKS
OF LOBSTER INTO THIS MIX.
IT’S LOBSTER, BREADCRUMBS,
GARLIC, MAYONNAISE.
I’M FEELING LIKE I NEED
TO GET THIS ON THE FRYER NOW,
AND I REALLY WANT
TO DIP IT IN FLOUR AND EGG
AND MAKE IT SUPER CRISPY
ON THE OUTSIDE,
BUT I’M NOT SURE
I HAVE TIME.
THE JUDGE COULD BE HERE
ANY SECOND.
I’M WORKING ON A DIP.
IT JUST HAS MAYO AND PARSLEY
AND HOT SAUCE AND LEMON, GARLIC.
IT’S YUMMY.
OH, MY GOD, THERE’S
SO MANY PEOPLE HERE.
HI.
HI.
WE’RE HERE FOR
THE LOBSTER SPECIAL.
OKAY.
WE DECIDED TO GO
WITH A LOBSTER CAKE,
KIND OF LIKE THE CRAB CAKE‐‐
DOES THAT WORK?
YEAH, THAT’S GREAT.
THESE GUYS JUST LOOK LIKE THEY
GOT OFF THE BOAT, LITERALLY,
AND CAME TO OUR TRUCK.
HERE YOU GO.
SPECIAL DELIVERY.
OH, THIS IS IT?
THIS IS IT.
THEY’RE DEFINITELY GONNA KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT LOBSTERS.
IT’S GOOD.
THIS IS LIKE
A TRADITIONAL FISH CAKE.
THEY ADDED LOBSTER,
THEY DID A GREAT‐‐
WITH BREAD‐‐
BREADCRUMB IN THERE.
IT WAS FRIED.
THEY USED BREADCRUMBS.
BUTTER AND NOT OLIVE OIL
MADE IT GOOD.
YEAH, YOU GOTTA HAVE‐‐
YEAH, THAT’S GOOD.
LOBSTER GOES BETTER
WITH BUTTER.
IT COULD STICK TOGETHER
MAYBE A LITTLE BETTER?
IT’S KIND OF‐‐
BUT THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
FRIED A LITTLE BIT MORE,
AND SHE DIDN’T USE‐‐
MAYBE IT’S
A LITTLE CRUMBLY.
TWO BURGERS,
TWO BALLS.
TA‐TAS,
AND A LEMONADE.
TWO BURGERS, TWO BALLS,
TA‐TAS, AND A LEMONADE.
ORDER!
WE’RE HERE FOR
THE LOBSTER SPECIAL.
OH, YOU GUYS ARE HERE
FOR THE LOBSTER SPECIAL.
IS OUR LOBSTER
SPECIAL READY?
COMING UP.
HOPEFULLY, YOU GUYS
LIKE OUR DISH.
IT’S TAIL MEAT
SLOW‐POACHED IN BUTTER,
AND TO TOP IT OFF,
WE DID AN APPLE COLESLAW.
I’M FEELING
PRETTY COMFORTABLE.
IT’S LOBSTER AND BUTTER
ON A ROLL WITH SOME COLESLAW.
CAN’T MESS THAT UP TOO MUCH,
SO HOPEFULLY, THEY LIKE IT.
I MEAN, IT’S GOOD.
I LIKE THE BUTTER.
LOBSTER HAS TO HAVE
BUTTER WITH IT.
WHICH IS KEY WITH LOBSTER,
YOU GOTTA HAVE BUTTER.
I MEAN, WHETHER YOU BOIL IT
OR COOK IT OR BAKE IT,
IT HAS TO HAVE
A LOT OF BUTTER IN IT.
I LIKE COLESLAW, SO I LIKE IT.
I LIKE THE SAUCE TASTE.
ONE THING I WOULD HAVE
LIKED TO HAVE SEEN
IS FOR ’EM TO CHOP UP
THE TAIL MEAT A LITTLE BIT MORE,
SMALLER PIECES, MAKE IT
A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO EAT,
MAYBE USE SOME CLAW MEAT,
AND I LIKE
MY LOBSTER ROLLS CHILLED.
JEREMY, I GOT
YOUR TWO BALLS.
DUDE, CHRIS,
THIS IS INSANE, MAN.
YEAH, BRO, THIS‐‐
LOOK AT THAT LINE, MAN.
LET’S KEEP IT UP, DUDE.
LET’S KEEP THIS
MOMENTUM, BROTHER.
TYLER HASN’T CALLED TONIGHT
ABOUT THE LOBSTER
CHALLENGE RESULTS.
WHAT’S GOING ON, TYLER?
YOU’RE MESSING WITH MY EMOTIONS.
KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED.
CHRIS IS BOUNCING
OFF THE WALL RIGHT NOW,
JUST WAITING FOR THE NEWS
FROM TYLER.
HEY, TOM‐‐TED‐‐I...
I CAN JUST TELL BY THE WAY
HE’S REPEATING THE ORDERS
THAT HE’S NOT 100% THERE.
AND I’M WAITING
FOR YOUR BALL, OKAY?
YO, TED.
ABOUT EIGHT BURGERS LEFT.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
HI, CAN I HAVE A DOUGHNUT,
YOUR SPECIALTY?
ABSOLUTELY.
THERE HAS BEEN NO WORD
FROM TYLER.
A LITTLE NERVE‐RACKING,
A LITTLE CONCERNED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I KNOW HOW MUCH SEOUL PUTS
INTO THEIR SELLING,
THEIR COOKING.
THIS IS NOT THE TEAM
TO MESS WITH RIGHT NOW.
NUMBER 22.
I HOPE IT WORKED OUT
FOR US. I DON’T KNOW.
CROSS OUR FINGERS. WE REALLY
CAN’T HAVE SAUSAGE WIN.
WE CAN’T.
THEY CANNOT WIN.
NO.
WE GOTTA WIN THAT, DUDE.
I WANT TO WIN IT, DUDE.
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME.
PROBABLY $1,000 OR‐‐
I REALLY PUT A LOT
OF EFFORT INTO THAT, DUDE.
YEAH.
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE IS
OFFICIALLY CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT!
GOOD NIGHT, BOSTON.
NIGHT, BOSTON.
GOOD NIGHT, BOSTON.
NIGHT, BOSTON.
I THINK HE’S GONNA CALL AT,
LIKE, 2:00 A. M. AND BE LIKE‐‐
I DON’T CARE,
I’LL BE FINE WITH THAT.
I NEED A RESPONSE
IMMEDIATELY.I KNOW.
SO THE TEAMS HAVE BEEN
ON PINS AND NEEDLES
WONDERING WHEN
THEY’RE GONNA FIND OUT
WHO WON THE LOBSTER
TRUCK STOP COOK‐OFF,
AND WHAT THAT MASSIVE
ADVANTAGE IS GONNA BE.
WELL, THEY’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT,
PLUS MUCH MORE.
THIS RACE IS ABOUT TO HEAD
INTO A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION,
LITERALLY.
HELLO?
Hey, guys,
it’s Tyler.
OH, IT’S TYLER.
OH, HI, TYLER.
TYLER, GO BACK TO BED.
HIT "SNOOZE."
ARE YOU READY TO HEAR WHO WON
THE LOBSTER TRUCK STOP,
AND WHAT THE ADVANTAGE IS?
YES, WE’RE READY TO HEAR
WHO WON THE LOBSTER STOP.
GOOD. COME MEET ME
DOWN AT THE HARBOR,
YOU’LL FIND OUT WHO WON,
WHAT THE REWARD IS GONNA BE,
AND WHAT IT MEANS
FOR THE LOSER.
WE GOTTA GO DOWN
TO THE HARBOR.
WE’RE GONNA MEET YOU
DOWN AT THE HARBOR.
I’LL MEET YOU ON
THE COURTHOUSE PIER
AT THE FOOT OF THE NORTHERN
AVENUE BRIDGE IN SOUTH BOSTON.
THANKS, TYLER.
I’LL SEE YOU IN
A LITTLE BIT, MAN.
ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU.
I‐‐WE NEED TO WIN.
WELCOME TO
THE COURTHOUSE PIER.
YOU GUYS ARE HERE
TO FIND OUT WHO WON
THE LOBSTER TRUCK STOP COOK‐OFF,
AND RECEIVE YOUR AWARD.
AND YOU ALREADY
KNOW THIS,
BUT THIS REWARD IS HUGE.
WE WANT TO WIN THIS CHALLENGE
SO BAD RIGHT NOW.
IT’S THE GRAND FINALE.
WE NEED ANY HELP THAT
WE CAN GET AT THIS POINT.
BUT BEFORE WE GET
TO THE RESULTS,
THERE’S SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD KNOW.
OKAY.
YOU GUYS ARE DONE
IN BOSTON.
NO!
YOU GUYS ARE HEADED
TO A FUN, ECLECTIC TOWN
WITH A BUSTLING WATERFRONT
AND AN AMAZING FOOD CULTURE.
THAT’S RIGHT, GUYS,
FROM THIS POINT,
YOU ARE HEADED
108 MILES NORTH
TO PORTLAND, MAINE.
I’M FREAKING OUT.
I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE BOSTON.
I LOVE IT HERE.
WE’VE DONE REALLY,
REALLY WELL.
HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THAT WELL
IN PORTLAND?
FIRST, WE GOTTA GET DOWN
TO BUSINESS.
GUYS, YOUR LOBSTER DISHES
YESTERDAY WERE JUDGED
BY A COUPLE OF LOCAL FISHERMEN,
AND ONE OF THEM IS HERE
WITH US TODAY.
CAPTAIN CLARK SANDLER,
AN AMERICAN FISHERMAN
FROM HERE IN BOSTON.
WHOO‐HOO‐HOO!
GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR.
THANK YOU.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
HOW YOU DOING?
I’M FINE, THANKS.
THANKS SO MUCH
FOR DOING THIS.
YOU’RE WELCOME.
THIS IS GREAT.
SO, CAPTAIN CLARK,
YOU TASTED LOBSTER DISHES
FROM BOTH NONNA’S KITCHENETTE
AND SEOUL SAUSAGE.
WE’LL START WITH SEOUL SAUSAGE.
WHAT’D YOU THINK?
THE DISH WAS GOOD.
I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE KEPT
THE COLESLAW TO THE SIDE.
I DON’T THINK I WOULD HAVE
PUT IT IN THE BUN.
THE TASTE WAS THERE.
WHAT I THINK WAS MISSING
WAS THE CLAW MEAT.
I DIDN’T SEE ANY CLAW MEAT
IN THE SANDWICH AT ALL.
BUT IT WASN’T BAD FROM
A COUPLE GUYS FROM L. A.
NOT BAD FOR A COUPLE GUYS
FROM L. A.
AND NONNA’S KITCHENETTE‐‐
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
THAT WAS
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT,
BUT WITH LOBSTER MEAT,
IT WAS A LOBSTER CAKE,
WHICH I’VE NEVER HAD
A LOBSTER CAKE.
IT WAS VERY TASTY,
BUT I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE
STAYED TOGETHER
A LITTLE BETTER.
IT WAS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFICULT TO EAT,
BUT IT WAS VERY TASTY.
INTERESTING.
SO, CAPTAIN CLARK, THIS IS
A VERY IMPORTANT DECISION.
YOU TASTED BOTH DISHES, BUT ONLY
ONE CAN WIN THIS CHALLENGE.
WHO’S IT GONNA BE?
IT’S A TOUGH CHOICE.
I REALIZE THIS IS QUITE
IMPORTANT TO THESE PEOPLE.
UH, I’M GONNA HAVE
TO GO WITH...
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE.
YAY!
OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS AMAZING.
JUST COMPLETELY BLEW THIS
OUT OF THE WATER.
LOSING THIS CHALLENGE
WAS A HUGE BLOW,
UH, NOT JUST FOR MYSELF,
BUT FOR THE TEAM.
I FEEL LIKE I LET
THE TEAM DOWN.
CONGRATULATIONS,
GIRLS.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU EARNED IT,
AND YOU NEEDED IT,
’CAUSE SEOUL SAUSAGE
IS IN THE LEAD RIGHT NOW.
GUYS, CAPTAIN CLARK HAS TO PREP
HIS BOAT FOR THE NEXT TRIP.
GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE
FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NICE MEETING YOU.
YEAH, YOU, TOO. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THANKS SO MUCH.
SO, NONNA’S, ARE YOU GUYS
READY FOR YOUR REWARD?
OH, MY GOD, YES.
YES.
WELL,
YOU GET A NICE
$500 CREDIT IN YOUR TILL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,
YOU GET TO LEAVE FOR PORTLAND
RIGHT NOW,
WHILE SEOUL SAUSAGE
STAYS BEHIND
AND, SHALL WE SAY,
HELPS OUT ONE OF
THE LOCAL BUSINESSES.
THEY’LL PROBABLY END UP
ABOUT THREE HOURS BEHIND YOU.
SO WHAT ARE YOU
LOOKING AT ME FOR?
CAN WE GET GOING?
GET IN YOUR TRUCK,
LET’S GET ROLLING.
WHOO!
PORTLAND,
HERE WE COME!
WHOO!
OKAY, SEOUL SAUSAGE,
THAT WAS A TOUGH LOSS.
THE NONNAS WILL ARRIVE IN
PORTLAND IN ABOUT TWO HOURS,
AND HAVE THE PLACE
TO THEMSELVES.
YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE
A LOT OF GROUND TO MAKE UP.
I GUESS WE BETTER
GET TO WORK THEN, HUH?
THERE’S A RESTAURANT
UP THERE BY THE COURTHOUSE
CALLED THE DAILY CATCH.
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR ITEMS
THEY HAVE ON THE MENU
IS THE NEW ENGLAND
CHERRYSTONE CLAM.
YOUR PUNISHMENT IS THAT YOU
WILL STAY BEHIND ON THE DOCK
AND SHUCK SIX BUSHELS
OF CLAMS.
THAT’S ABOUT 600 POUNDS
OF CLAMS.
WHEN YOU’RE DONE,
YOU CAN HEAD UP TO PORTLAND,
BUT LET’S JUST HOPE THAT
EVERYONE’S NOT FULL OF MEATBALLS
BY THE TIME YOU GET THERE.
THIS ONE HURTS. THREE HOURS
IS A HUGE, HUGE ADVANTAGE.
OOH...
HAVE FUN.
I’LL SEE YOU LATER.
SO WE JUST NEED TO
MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GOOD PLAN
WHEN WE GET TO PORTLAND,
WE NEED TO TAKE, LIKE,
FULL, FULL, FULL ADVANTAGE
OF THOSE THREE HOURS.
WHEN YOU’RE COMPETING AGAINST
A TEAM LIKE SEOUL SAUSAGE,
500 BUCKS IS NOTHING.
WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO HUSTLE.
WE HAVE TO GET UP TO PORTLAND.
I’VE NEVER BEEN THERE. MY FRIEND
MICHELLE HAS BEEN THERE.
I CAN ACTUALLY
CALL HER.
HI, HONEY.
WE HAVE A 3‐HOUR HEAD START
OVER SEOUL SAUSAGE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA, LIKE,
WHERE’S THE MOST FOOT TRAFFIC?
IS THERE, LIKE, A DOWNTOWN AREA
WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO, LIKE, RESTAURANTS
AND BARS?
OKAY.
DUDE, THERE’S SO MANY
FREAKING CLAMS, MAN.
NOTHING FEELS WORSE
THAN THIS.
OH, MY KNEES
AND BACK.
WE’RE HERE SHUCKING CLAMS,
AND NONNA’S IS SELLING
IN PORTLAND.
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
CLAMS! WHOO!
WE HAD AN AMAZING SPOT
SAVED FOR US,
AND THIS IS ALL DUE
TO THE LOCAL BUSINESSES
AROUND PORTLAND,
WHO ARE JUST WILLING
TO HELP US OUT.
ARE MY WHEELS STRAIGHT?
THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT.
WHO’S HUNGRY?
ARE YOU GUYS READY?
IT’S ALREADY BUSY, AND IT’S
ONLY GONNA GET BUSIER TONIGHT,
SO THIS IS AWESOME
RIGHT NOW.
WE’RE STICKING WITH
THE SAME MENU AS LAST NIGHT.
WE’RE DOING OUR
MEATBALL MADNESS SANDWICH,
FRIED RAVIOLIS,
AND WE PERFECTED
THE LOBSTER CAKES
THAT WE GAVE TO THE JUDGES,
AND WE’RE JUST SERVING THEM WITH
OUR HOMEMADE MARINARA SAUCE.
CAN I GET 2 FRIED RAVIOLIS,
PLEASE?
14.
I DON’T KNOW HOW EVERYBODY
FOUND US IN, LIKE, FIVE MINUTES,
BUT THEY DID, AND WE’RE PREPPED,
AND I FEEL SO GOOD RIGHT NOW.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
HI, GOOD. TWO ORDERS
OF FRIED RAVIOLI, PLEASE.
OH, MY GOD,
THERE’S SO MANY ORDERS,
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITH THEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WHOO!
FINALLY FINISH SHUCKING
THOSE DAMN CLAMS.
WE NEED TO GET MOVING.
WE GOTTA GET TO PORTLAND
AS FAST AS WE CAN,
’CAUSE WE NEED TO GET SELLING.
LET’S JUST THINK IT THROUGH,
BECAUSE REMEMBER,
NONNA’S HAS A 3‐HOUR START
ON US.
DUDE, YOU KNOW
WHAT WE SHOULD DO,
IS WE SHOULD JUST GO
RIGHT NEXT TO THEM, MAN.
HONESTLY,
WE CAME THIS FAR,
HOW ARE YOU?
HI, ONE MEATBALL MADNESS,
AND 1 FRIED RAVIOLI.
16.
THERE’S YOUR RAVIOLIS.
THANK YOU.
YOU’RE WELCOME,
AND THERE’S YOUR MEATBALL.
GOOD LUCK.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR COMING BY.
NUMBER 65, RAVIOLIS
AND SWEET BALLS.
OKAY, JUST PARK RIGHT HERE,
CHRIS. WHERE?
WE ALREADY PASSED IT,
DUDE.
I NEED TWO RAVIOLIS...
NO! SEOUL SAUSAGE
IS HERE!
THE SCENE IS GREAT.
IT’S A BAR SCENE.
THIS IS A PERFECT LOCATION
FOR US.
SORRY TO BE YELLING, BUT IT’S
KIND OF URGENT RIGHT NOW.
WE’VE GOT AN HOUR LEFT
TO SELL!
THIS IS DEFINITELY
THE MOST PRESSURE WE’VE FELT
ON THIS WHOLE COMPETITION.
WE WANT THREE OF
THE KOREAN BARBECUE BURGERS.
ALL RIGHT,
THAT’S AN ORDER.
WAY TO START STRONG.
AND THEN THREE
TA‐TA SUPREMES.
OKAY, THREE HOURS, SMALL TOWN,
EVERYBODY’S TRIED NONNA’S.
NOW THEY HAVE TO TRY
SEOUL SAUSAGE.
CHRIS, CHRIS, YOUR BURGER
IS READY, CHRIS.
WE ALWAYS DO WELL AGAINST
ANOTHER TRUCK WHEN WE’RE
RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER,
SO THIS IS RIGHT UP OUR ALLEY.
AND THAT WILL BE $19.
AND YOUR NAME?
SHANNON.
SHANNON, HOW YOU DOING
TONIGHT?
THERE WE GO. THE STREET’S HERE,
STREET’S HERE!
THERE YOU GO,
THERE YOU GO. WHOO!
I FEEL LIKE WE ARE
RUNNING OUT OF FOOD,
SO THIS IS A GREAT REASON
TO CLOSE DOWN
START FRESH TOMORROW MORNING,
AND CALL IT A DAY.
OKAY, SO, GUYS,
I’M COMPLETELY OUT OF FOOD,
BUT I WILL BE HERE TOMORROW.
I’M FEELING REALLY GOOD. I THINK
NONNA’S IS DEFINITELY AHEAD.
IT’S JUST WHENEVER
SEOUL SHOWS UP,
THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING
BREWING OVER THERE.
HEY.
GOOD NIGHT IN PORTLAND!
GOOD JOB, GIRLS.
WE HAD BEST WEEKEND TOGETHER.
GOOD JOB, GIRLS.
JERSEY! JERSEY! JERSEY!
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE COULD HAVE FREAKED OUT, DUDE,
ALL RIGHT, HEY, HEY.
WE COULD HAVE FREAKED OUT,
YELLED AT EACH OTHER,
I LOVE YOU...
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID?
WE CAME TOGETHER AS A TEAM.
I’M EXTREMELY NERVOUS.
I THINK WE HAD FRIDAY,
BUT SATURDAY, MAN,
NONNA’S KILLED IT.
IT’S GONNA ALL COME DOWN
TO TOMORROW.
THIS IS GAME SEVEN,
TWO MINUTES TO GO,
AND WE’RE DOWN‐‐
WE’RE DOWN BY 20, BRO.
IT’S DAY THREE,
AND OUR FINAL TWO TEAMS
ARE BANKING ON A BIG TURNOUT
IN PORTLAND, MAINE.
WE HAVE A SPOT SAVED
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PUB
ON COMMERCIAL STREET. THE LOCALS
SAY THAT’S THE BEST PLACE TO BE.
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE HAS A PRIME
SPOT AT THE WATERFRONT,
WHICH WILL BE BUSTLING
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
I WANT TO BE PREPPED AS MUCH
AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LUNCH,
’CAUSE THAT’S WHEN WE’RE GONNA
GET THE BIGGEST CROWD.
SEOUL SAUSAGE IS FIGHTING
FOR THEIR LIVES
AFTER A CRUSHING LOSS
IN THE LOBSTER TRUCK STOP.
I DON’T THINK
WE’RE WINNING, BRO.
SO THEY’RE JUST GONNA
MOVE IN ON NONNA’S TURF
AND TRY TO OUTSELL THEM.
HEY, GUYS, WE’LL BE OPEN
IN, LIKE, 30 MINUTES, YEAH?
COME CHECK OUT OUR TRUCK.
IT’S MEATBALLS VERSUS SAUSAGE
ON THE STREETS OF PORTLAND,
WITH A FOOD TRUCK AND 50 GRAND
ON THE LINE.
LET’S GET TO COOKING!
NORMALLY WE TAKE A LOT
OF TIME PREPPING, BUT NOT TODAY.
WE’RE GONNA BE FOCUSED, WE’RE
GONNA TAKE ORDERS RIGHT AWAY,
AND JUST GET WHATEVER WE HAVE,
AND JUST START BUSTING IT OUT.
THIS IS PRETTY MUCH
FOOD VERSUS FOOD.
I NEVER THOUGHT
THAT SEOUL SAUSAGE
WOULD JUST BE A FOLLOWER.
I MEAN, I GET IT‐‐
IT’S A COMPETITION.
YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT NEXT
TO WHERE YOUR COMPETITION IS
AND SHOW THEM UP, BUT IT’S‐‐
IT’S GOTTEN REALLY ANNOYING NOW.
WHETHER SEOUL WANTED
TO PARTNER UP OR NOT,
WE WERE DESTINED TO BE
RIGHT IN BACK OF EACH OTHER.
WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO HUSTLE
MORE THAN WE EVER HAVE,
BECAUSE THERE’S NOT A LOT
OF PEOPLE IN THIS CITY,
AND EVERY CUSTOMER
COUNTS RIGHT NOW.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
TWO OF
THE MEATBALL MADNESSES,
ONE OF THE FRIED RAVIOLI,
AND TWO OF THE ROOT BEER FLOATS.
11.
25.
THANK YOU, ENJOY.
HEY, GIRLS, JUST WANT
TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT WE ARE OPEN BEFORE SEOUL,
SO GOOD JOB.
I ORDERED
THE FRIED RAVIOLIS.
THEY’RE DELICIOUS. THEY’RE LIKE
NOTHING I’VE EVER HAD BEFORE.
THEY’RE‐‐THEY HAVE
JUST CHEESE IN THEM,
AND THEY’RE REALLY GOOD
WITH THE MARINARA SAUCE.
WHAT’S UP, PORTLAND?
THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR.
WE’RE AT THE GRAND FINALE.
THERE’S TWO TEAMS LEFT,
AND IT’S ALL
IN YOUR HANDS.
IT’S ALL IN YOUR HANDS,
PORTLAND.
- ARE YOU GUYS READY TO EAT?
- YEAH!
ALL RIGHT,
FIRST CUSTOMER.
I’LL HAVE ONE
OF EVERYTHING.
- YEAH, HE’S GONNA GET THE SEOUL PACK.
- WHOO!
WE’RE PULLING OUT
ALL THE CARDS TODAY.
WE’RE GONNA RAISE OUR PRICES
BY A DOLLAR.
WE GOTTA CLOSE THIS GAP
RIGHT NOW.
THREE K‐POPS, TWO BURGERS,
FIVE BALLS, ONE TA‐TAS...
YEP. YEP. YEP.
AND THEN 1 NACHO.
72.
YEP.
72 IS THE NUMBER
TO BEAT!
WHOO!
DUDE, AT THIS RATE, WE MIGHT
RUN OUT OF BURGER MEAT, BRO.
MMM. DELICIOUS.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD,
IT’S SO GOOD.
IT’S SO CREAMY.
THERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU, ENJOY.
THANKS.
IF WE CAN PULL THIS OFF SOMEHOW,
DUDE, IT’S GONNA BE A MIRACLE.
THE MIRACLE ON RICE.
89 AND 90,
2 MEATBALL SANDWICHES.
SIR, YOU’RE NUMBER 97.
THESE RAVIOLIS ARE LOOKING
BETTER BY THE MINUTE.
I KNOW, THIS IS THE LAST
BATCH OF RAVIOLIS.
NO, I WANTED TO EAT SOME.
WE HAVE GONE THROUGH
SO MUCH FOOD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
- CAN WE JUST START SELLING SPAGHETTI?
- I DON’T THINK
THAT SEOUL COULD HAVE POSSIBLY
CAUGHT UP,
BECAUSE WE’RE HAVING
ANOTHER GREAT DAY,
AND WE STILL HAVE TICKETS
IN THE WINDOW.
IF ANYTHING,
IT’S A CLOSE RACE.
WHAT PART?
YAY!
THAT’S, LIKE, OUR RECORD
TIMES, LIKE, A LOT.
SAUSAGE!
DON’T BE SCARED.
YOU’RE SCARED,
YOU’RE SCARED.
- THAT IS THE WRONG ATTITUDE TO HAVE.
- NONNA’S KITCHENETTE‐‐
THEY HAVE WEIRD WAYS
OF ATTRACTING CUSTOMERS.
THEY HAVE GREAT FOOD,
I’M NOT KNOCKING THEM AT ALL,
YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT AN HOUR
AND A DAY FOR THEIR FOOD.
ABIGAIL!
THESE ARE CUSTOMERS.
THEY’RE NOT NUMBERS...
$10, AND WE’LL CALL OUT
YOUR NAME, OKAY?
BUT AT THIS POINT,
EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS.
I DON’T THINK IT’S ENOUGH
YET, DUDE.
IT’S NOT ENOUGH, DUDE.
IT IS NOT ENOUGH.
SO WHEN I TOLD THE TEAMS WE WERE
MOVING TO PORTLAND, MAINE,
I’M PRETTY SURE THAT
NEITHER TEAM HAD ANY IDEA
WHAT TO EXPECT,
AND NOW I CAN SAFELY SAY
THAT BOTH TEAMS
WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
THIS IS A GREAT TOWN WITH
A FANTASTIC FOOD SCENE,
AND BOTH TEAMS
ARE FITTING RIGHT IN.
AND I’M SURE THAT THE NONNA
GIRLS AND THE SAUSAGE GUYS
WOULD LOVE TO STAY
IN PORTLAND, MAINE,
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF PEAK SEASON
AND MAKE A TON OF DOUGH,
BUT THAT’S NOT
HOW THE FINALE WORKS.
WE MOVE, WE MOVE,
AND THEN WE MOVE AGAIN.
I’M ABOUT TO ROCK
THEIR WORLD.
OH, NO.
WHAT?
I THINK TYLER’S CALLING.
HELLO?
Hey, guys, it’s Tyler.
HI, TYLER.
TYLER’S CALLING!
OH, NO.
YEAH, SO PORTLAND, MAINE,
NICE LITTLE SURPRISE, HUH?
OH, PORTLAND’S AWESOME,
BRO.
WELL, THIS IS THE CALL
YOU KNEW WAS COMING.
YEAH, WE KNEW.
THIS PARTY WAS NOT
GONNA LAST FOREVER.
I TOLD YOU GUYS
BACK IN CLEVELAND
THAT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE
TO MAKE SEVERAL STOPS
BEFORE YOU GOT
TO THE FINISH LINE.
GUYS, YOU’RE MOVING AGAIN.
WE’RE MOVING.
OH, MY GOD.
I’M GONNA CRY
RIGHT NOW.
GUYS, YOU’RE MOVING AGAIN.
TO WHERE?
TO A CHARMING LITTLE TOWN
227 MILES NORTHEAST OF HERE.
THAT TOWN IS CALLED LUBEC,
AND IT’S GOT A POPULATION
OF 1,600.
A POPULATION OF...
OF 27 PEOPLE?
1,600 PEOPLE.
It’s right on the Maine coast,
AND AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IT’S HOME
to the easternmost point in
the contiguous United States.
OH, MY GOD.
So Lubec is not a big place,
so I’m just gonna tell you,
WATER STREET IS WHERE
YOU WANT TO BE.
But be careful,
you make a wrong turn,
AND YOU’LL BE
IN NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA.
IF YOU MAKE A WRONG TURN UP
THERE, YOU’LL END UP THE CANADA.
It’s not quite
tourist season yet,
so it’s gonna be
a little quiet.
YOU’RE GONNA NEED EVERY ONE
OF THESE LOCALS ON YOUR SIDE,
and for that reason, no single
item can cost more than...
2 BUCKS.
EVERYTHING HAS TO BE
UNDER $2.
OKAY, SO SHUT DOWN
RIGHT NOW...
WE’RE SHUTTING IT DOWN
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW?
And before you get
too excited,
DON’T EXPECT TO FIND
THE FINISH LINE... THERE.
OH, MY GOSH, DUDE.
WHAT?
HE SAYS THAT MIGHT NOT
EVEN BE THE FINISH LINE.
HAVE FUN, GUYS.
DRIVE SAFE. BYE.
OH, MY GOD.
THEN WE JUST
DO DOUGHNUTS.
YEAH.
DOUGHNUTS, DOUGHNUTS,
AND MORE DOUGHNUTS.
CALLING IT A DAY.
THANK YOU, PORTLAND!
YOU GUYS WERE AMAZING.
HOW ARE
YOU FEELING, MAN?
I’M BEAT, DUDE, I’M TIRED.
YEAH.
I THOUGHT YESTERDAY
WAS THE LAST DAY...
SERIOUSLY, MAN.
AND THEN TYLER
THROWS US LUBEC.
LUBEC IS EVERYTHING TO US.
IT’S CRITICAL THAT WE DO GOOD.
WE GOTTA BEAT THE NONNAS TODAY.
WE ARE A LONG WAY
FROM HOME, BRO.
IT JUST SCARES ME THAT WE’RE
TRYING TO RUN A FOOD TRUCK
IN A TOWN THAT’S
MEANT TO BE
A PEACEFUL, RELAXING
TYPE OF AREA.
ME BEING AGGRESSIVE DEFINITELY
ISN’T GOING TO WORK HERE.
NO. NO, IT NEEDS TO BE,
LIKE, COMPLETE OPPOSITE.
THERE’S NO GUARANTEE HOW
MANY PEOPLE ARE GONNA COME OUT.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
WE’VE DONE ZERO MARKETING.
AND WITH $2, WE WON’T BE ABLE
TO MAKE THAT MUCH MONEY.
LET’S BLAST OUT THE FULL MENU,
SMALLER PORTIONS,
AND GO REALLY, REALLY LIGHT
ON THE QUANTITY OF STUFF.
OH, THERE’S THE SIGN‐‐
"WELCOME TO LUBEC."
OH, MY GOD,
WE’RE HERE.
OH, WE’RE IN LUBEC.
WE ARE IN LUBEC.
I KNOW IT’S A SMALL TOWN, BUT
LET’S END IT WITH A BIG BANG.
THIS IS
WATER STREET?
THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE.
ROOT BEER FLOATS,
KIDS?
OH, MAN, THESE PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR US, HUH?
HI, LUBEC!
WE’RE NONNA’S KITCHENETTE!
HELLO!
WHOO!
WE ARE SEOUL SAUSAGE. WE CAME
ALL THE WAY FROM LOS ANGELES.
INSIDE WE’VE GOT MY BROTHER,
AND ALSO ONE OF THE HOTTEST
CHEFS FROM LOS ANGELES, SO WE’D
LOVE TO FEED YOU GOOD FOOD.
THERE’S ONLY 1,600 PEOPLE
IN LUBEC,
AND SO THIS IS DEFINITELY
AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD FOR US,
AND THAT’S SEOUL SAUSAGE’S
ADVANTAGE RIGHT NOW.
ALL RIGHT,
LET’S GO, SIR.
OHH!
HEY, THIS GUY
SPEAKS KOREAN.
THERE’S KOREANS IN LUBEC!
WHAT CAN I GET
FOR YOU, SIR?
FLAMING FIRE BALLS.
YES, SIR, HOW MANY
OF THOSE WOULD YOU LIKE?
25.
WHOO, 25 FLAMING BALLS!
YOU GUYS BETTER GET CRACKIN’!
HEY!
ALL RIGHT, THAT’S GONNA BE
$50, SIR.
THERE YOU GO.
OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
KAMSAHAMNIDA.
IT IS PURE BEDLAM
IN THE TRUCK RIGHT NOW.
TED IS TAKING ORDERS
DOWN THE LINE.
THE FLAMING FRIED RICE BALLS
ARE REALLY GOOD.
OKAY, WE’LL TRY THAT.
ME AND YONG ARE CRANKING OUT
STUFF AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
IT’S PURE MADNESS.
WE’VE GOT DESSERT
FOR RILEY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU’RE NUMBER 09.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
HOW ARE YOU?
GREAT.
I’LL HAVE
SOME SWEET BALLS.
BALLS.
ALL RIGHT, WE’VE GOT TWO BALLS,
TWO TA‐TAS, TWO LEMONADES,
AND TWO SPECIALS.
HEY! HERE WE GO,
HERE WE GO.
ALL RIGHT, WE GOT A LEMONADE
AND A BALL FOR LUCY.
ALL RIGHT!
I’M, LIKE,
WARP SPEED RIGHT NOW.
WE GOT TA‐TAS, TWO BALLS,
AND A DESSERT BALL.
HEY!
$4, PLEASE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
SURE.
THAT’S BEAUTIFUL.
ALL RIGHT, WE GOT A BALL
AND A PANCAKE BALL.
YO, LET’S JUST KEEP
PUMPING THIS STUFF OUT.
YONG, I’VE GOT TWO BALLS
AND TWO TA‐TAS.
SO THE TEAMS ARE DUKING IT OUT
IN LUBEC RIGHT NOW,
AND THERE’S ONE THING I CAN TELL
YOU THAT THEY DON’T KNOW‐‐
THIS RACE IS CLOSE‐‐
SHOCKINGLY CLOSE.
WHEN THE TEAMS GOT INTO TOWN
90 MINUTES AGO,
THEY WERE SEPARATED BY $5.
NOW EITHER ONE OF THESE TEAMS
WOULD BE A WORTHY WINNER
OF THIS COMPETITION,
BUT ONLY ONE TEAM CAN WIN IT.
I’M ABOUT TO CALL THIS RACE,
SO WE’RE GONNA FIND OUT
WHICH TEAM HAS.
OH, NO,
MY PHONE’S RINGING.
OH, MY GOD,
TYLER’S CALLING.
OH, GOSH.
HEY, TYLER.
Well, guys,
I can’t tell if you’re actually
happy or sad to hear from me,
BUT ONE THING I KNOW
FOR SURE IS THAT
THIS IS THE LAST TIME IT’S
GONNA HAPPEN ON THIS RACE.
You’ve just made
your final sale, period.
OH...
OUR FINAL SALE.
GUYS, CLOSE DOWN, PACK UP,
and make your way out
the same way you came in,
and then follow the signs to
the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse.
YOU’LL FIND ME RIGHT
IN FRONT OF IT WAITING FOR YOU.
OH, MY GOSH,
TYLER’S GONNA BE
IN FRONT OF THE LIGHTHOUSE
WAITING FOR US.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE,
BRING ME YOUR CASHBOXES,
AND I’LL COUNT THE CASH
ONE TEAM AT A TIME,
every single dollar.
EVERYTHING UNDER A DOLLAR
ROUNDS DOWN.
TYLER’S GONNA COUNT
THE MONEY.
NO MORE SALES?
NO MORE SALES.
THAT’S IT.
OH.
THE TEAM WITH THE HIGHEST TOTAL
KEEPS THEIR FOOD TRUCK
and wins $50,000.
THE LOSER HEADS HOME.
Okay, guys, shut down
and close up,
AND GET YOURSELVES TO
THE LIGHTHOUSE. IT’S TIME.
TED, TYLER JUST CALLED.
OH, ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WE’RE DONE WITH
THE TRIP, DUDE.
WE HAVE TO GO
TO THE LIGHTHOUSE,
BRING OUR CASHBOXES. HE’S GONNA
COUNT THE MONEY RIGHT THERE.
WINNER TAKES THE FOOD TRUCK
AND 50 G’s,
LOSER GOES HOME.
SEVEN WEEKS, SEVEN CITIES‐‐
WHOO!
WHAT AN EPIC RIDE.
HI, EVERYONE.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE DONE HERE.
SORRY, I’M EMOTIONAL.
AW.
YOU’RE GONNA MAKE ME...
AW, JACLYN,
THERE’S A SOFT SIDE.
IT’S ALL GOOD, DUDE.
HEY, LOOK‐‐
LET’S GO COUNT THIS MONEY.
IF WE WIN, WE WIN.
IF WE LOSE, GO HOME
WITH OUR HEADS HUNG UP HIGH.
IF WE LOSE,
WE SHAKE THEIR HANDS.
YEAH, MAN.
OF COURSE.
WE LOST TO A GOOD TEAM,
IF THAT’S THE CASE.
I MEAN, THEY HUSTLED, TOO,
YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, THEY HUSTLED, TOO,
YOU KNOW?
GUYS, WELCOME TO THE
WEST QUODDY HEAD LIGHT STATION
AND THE EASTERNMOST POINT
IN THE CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES.
BEHIND ME IS THE QUODDY NARROWS.
BEYOND THAT IS CANADA.
BEYOND THAT IS
THE OPEN ATLANTIC OCEAN.
YOU TWO TEAMS TRAVELED
3,559 MILES.
THIS IS OUR SEVENTH
AND FINAL
"GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"
ELIMINATION.
YOU STARTED IN
LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
SEVEN WEEKS AGO,
AND KNOCKED OFF SIX OTHER
WORTHY COMPETITORS.
YOU ENDURED CHALLENGE
AFTER CHALLENGE,
COOKED YOUR HEARTS OUT,
AND SUBJECTED YOURSELF TO THE
ULTIMATE FOOD TRUCK BOOT CAMP.
MOST IMPORTANTLY,
YOU BEGAN IN LONG BEACH
AS WIDE‐EYED ROOKIES,
AND TODAY, THERE’S NOT A SINGLE
FOOD TRUCK IN THE COUNTRY
THAT HAS THE TRAINING
THAT YOU HAVE.
BUT HERE’S THE THING,
AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT.
WHEN YOU ENTERED LUBEC
90 MINUTES AGO,
YOU WERE SEPARATED...
BY $5.
OH, COME ON.
THAT’S NOT A JOKE.
$5. THIS RACE
WAS TIGHT.
$5, AFTER A DAY IN BOSTON,
THE LOBSTER CHALLENGE,
AND ALL THE MADNESS
IN PORTLAND.
AND THEN YOU HAD ONE
LAST WILD SWING
THROUGH LUBEC, MAINE.
I’M GONNA HAVE TO COUNT
YOUR MONEY,
AND ONCE I DO,
WE’LL HAVE A WINNER,
RIGHT HERE
AT THIS SPOT.
ONE TEAM WILL WIN
THEIR FOOD TRUCK
AND $50,000.
THE OTHER TEAM WON’T.
SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE
ANYTHING TO SAY? JESSICA?
I JUST KNEW IT WAS
GONNA BE CLOSE.
THEY’RE GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO,
AND WE’RE GOOD AT WHAT WE DO,
SO I ACTUALLY DON’T KNOW
HOW TO FEEL.
EVERYTHING YOU SAID
IS VERY TRUE.
CHRIS, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY?
I’M REALLY PROUD OF MY TEAM,
MY BOYS.
PROUD OF NONNA’S, TOO.
THEY’VE COME A LONG WAY, TOO,
SO WE’RE ALL WINNERS HERE,
WIN OR LOSE.
THAT’S ALSO TRUE.
OKAY, NONNA’S, JESSICA, STEP
FORWARD, HAND ME YOUR CASHBOX.
ALL RIGHT, JESS,
THANKS A LOT.
ALL RIGHT, TED,
COME UP WITH YOUR BOX.
ALL RIGHT, TED,
THANKS MUCH.
OKAY, GUYS.
WE HAVE A WINNER.
BUT BEFORE I ANNOUNCE
WHO THAT IS,
LET’S TALK REAL QUICK.
JACLYN, IF YOU LOSE THIS RACE,
WHAT’S YOUR ONE REGRET?
MAYBE I DIDN’T
PUSH HARD ENOUGH.
MAYBE I DIDN’T
GET OUT THERE ENOUGH.
YOU GUYS PUSHED
PLENTY HARD.
IF YOU DO LOSE THIS RACE,
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE CAN GO HOME
WITH THEIR HEAD HELD HIGH,
THAT’S A FACT.
TED, IF YOU LOSE THIS RACE,
WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST REGRET?
THERE WERE PLENTY OF TIMES
WE COULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, HUSTLED
A LITTLE HARDER,
YOU KNOW, GRABBED MORE PEOPLE,
GRABBED MORE CUSTOMERS.
I THINK YOU’RE ONE
OF THE MOST TALENTED
FRONTMEN WE’VE EVER SEEN
IN THIS RACE.
WE’VE SEEN,
OUT OF BOTH TEAMS,
COMMITMENT, INTEGRITY,
TEAMWORK‐‐
IT’S ALL THERE.
NONNA’S, YOU WERE JUST
THREE GIRLS FROM JERSEY
THAT JUST LIKED TO COOK
YOUR GRANDMAS’ RECIPES,
AND HERE YOU ARE FIVE MINUTES
AWAY FROM POSSIBLY WINNING
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
I HOPE SO.
AND, SEOUL, YOU THREE GUYS
BUCKED THE ODDS IN A BIG WAY.
IT’S NOT EASY
TO TELL YOUR PARENTS
YOU’RE GOING
A DIFFERENT WAY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY COME FROM
A VERY TRADITIONAL CULTURE.
I THINK I CAN COMFORTABLY SAY,
WIN OR LOSE,
YOUR PARENTS HAVE GOT
A LOT TO BE PROUD OF.
WE’VE DONE 20 LEGS OF THIS RACE
IN 22 CITIES,
BUT THIS LAST LEG,
THIS MAD DASH TO NEW ENGLAND,
WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE
THINGS I’VE EVER SEEN.
SO THE QUESTION’S GONNA
COME DOWN TO THIS‐‐
WHO MADE THE MOST,
WHO MADE THE LEAST,
AND WHO’S THE WINNER
OF "THE GREAT
FOOD TRUCK RACE"?
GUYS, LET’S DO THIS.
THE WINNER OF
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE,"
WITH A TOTAL OF
$6,670‐‐
SEOUL SAUSAGE.
THIS IS CRAZY!
I’M ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
I’M BOUNCING AROUND
YOU GUYS.
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO REACT RIGHT NOW.
WE DID IT, DUDE.
WE JUST WON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
THIS WAS HUGE.
GOOD JOB.
FAME IS NICE,
FORTUNE IS NICE,
BUT THOSE ALWAYS FADE AWAY.
AS LONG AS MY PARENTS
ARE PROUD OF ME,
I MEAN, THAT’S
ALL THAT MATTERS.
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE,
YOU MADE $6,570.
YOU FELL SHORT
BY JUST $103.
GIRLS, THIS IS THE TOUGHEST
ELIMINATION, BY FAR.
LISA, JESSICA,
AND JACLYN,
PLEASE HAND ME YOUR KEYS
AND HEAD BACK TO JERSEY.
THANK YOU.
BOYS, A HAND FOR
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE.
WE’RE SO THANKFUL
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY,
BECAUSE THERE’S ONLY
AMAZING THINGS TO COME.
THIS IS NOT THE END FOR US,
BY ANY MEANS.
GUYS, YOU WERE REALLY
ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING TEAMS
WE’VE EVER HAD, AND YOU’RE GONNA
BE A FORCE TO RECKON WITH
FOR YEARS TO COME.
LOOK OUT, L. A.
- ONE, TWO, THREE...
- SEOUL SAUSAGE!
FELLAS,
I’M SO EXCITED,
STEP FORWARD AND CLAIM
YOUR $50,000.
OOH...
WHOO‐HOO!
WHOA!
OH, MY GOSH.
OHH.
WHOO! I KNOW!
LOVE YOU, GREEN!
YOU GUYS EARNED THIS, MAN.
CONGRATULATIONS, MAN.
THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS.
YOU ARE IN BUSINESS, MY FRIEND.
OHH!
YOU GOT YOUR TRUCK,
AND YOU’VE GOT $50,000.
WHOO‐HOO‐HOO!
WE GOT IT!
SEOUL SAUSAGE WINS
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
I AM NOW A FOOD TRUCK OWNER.
WHAT ARE YOU
WAITING FOR, MAN?
LET’S GET BACK TO L. A.,
AND LET’S GET ROLLING!
I REALLY HOPE THAT
IT SHOWS AMERICA
THAT IF YOU BELIEVE
IN SOMETHING,
YOU GOTTA TRY IT,
YOU GOTTA GO AFTER IT.
BIG MAMA!
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
IT STARTED WITH A BANG
SIX WEEKS AGO
IN LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
AMAZING!
THIS IS MY DREAM.
EIGHT TEAMS
OF FOOD TRUCK ROOKIES
BEGAN A WILD
CROSS‐COUNTRY QUEST
TO WIN $50,000
AND THE FOOD TRUCK
OF THEIR DREAMS.
WE CANNOT GO BACK TO ATLANTA
WITHOUT THAT FOOD TRUCK.
SO FAR, THE TEAMS
HAVE CROSSED 15 STATES
AND COVERED 2,800 MILES.
IT’S THE HARDEST THING I’VE
EVER DONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
EVER.
THEY’VE COOKED...
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WERE
WAITING FOR SOME WINGS.
SOLD...
FRIED BALLS!
STRATEGIZED...
WE’LL PUT
THE TOP TWO TRUCKS
IF YOU LET US COME IN.
AND STRUGGLED.
FRIED CATFISH.
AND SIX OF THEM...
STOP!
SAW THEIR
FOOD TRUCK DREAMS END
IN DISAPPOINTMENT.
I WISH WE HAD DONE THIS MOVE
45 MINUTES PRIOR.
I NEED YOUR KEYS.
NOW THERE ARE TWO,
BUT THIS RACE IS FAR FROM OVER.
THE FINALE...
STARTS RIGHT NOW.
THE TEAMS HAVE
THEIR SEED MONEY...
IT’S 500 BUCKS.
AND THEY HAVE ONE MORE
GIANT MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB.
THIS IS A MULTICITY RACE
TO THE FINISH...
WHAT?
AND IT’S GONNA
BE TOUGH.
OH, MY GOD.
THE JERSEY GIRLS
OF NONNA’S KITCHENETTE
BEGAN THIS RACE
AS THREE HOME COOKS
WHO JUST WANTED TO COOK
THEIR GRANDMAS’ RECIPES.
THEY’RE AWESOME!
BUT CITY BY CITY...
NUMBER 22!
THEIR SKILLS
HAVE GROWN SHARPER
IN EVERY WAY.
OUR GRANDMAS WOULD BE
SO PROUD OF US RIGHT NOW.
NOW THEY’RE A FORCE
TO BE RECKONED WITH.
THE SEOUL SAUSAGE TEAM STARTED
OUT LIKE A HOUSE ON FIRE.
CHEESY BALLS!
BUT A NEAR‐DEATH EXPERIENCE
IN NASHVILLE
SHOOK THESE GUYS UP IN A WAY
THEY NEVER SAW COMING.
THIS COMPETITION JUST GOT CRAZY
AND SO DID I.
THESE THREE BEGAN THIS RACE
DETERMINED TO SHOW
THEIR PARENTS
THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL
IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY.
BUT NOW THEY ALSO WANT TO WIN
THIS COMPETITION
FOR THEMSELVES.
GO RUN THOSE BALLS LIKE
YOU’VE NEVER RUN THEM BEFORE.
NOW THE RACE COMES HERE
TO BOSTON,
BUT NOT FOR LONG,
’CAUSE OUR TWO FINAL TEAMS
ARE ABOUT TO WAGE A 3‐CITY,
335‐MILE BATTLE
FOR THEIR OWN FOOD TRUCK
PLUS $50,000.
WHO WILL WIN IT ALL?
I’M TYLER FLORENCE, AND THIS IS
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"
FINALE.
LET’S GET ROLLIN’.
FOOD TRUCK ROAD TRIP!

WE ARE HEADING TO THE FINALE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. I
THINK I’M STILL REALLY IN SHOCK.
WHOEVER THOUGHT THAT
THREE GIRLS FROM JERSEY,
FROM OUR LITTLE KITCHENS,
WOULD GET THIS FAR?
NOW IT’S FOR REAL.
LIKE, "OH, MY GOD,
WE’RE THE TOP TWO TEAMS.
DRIVE FASTER, FOOL.
WE GOT TO GET TO BOSTON, MAN.
BOSTON.
THIS IS CRAZY.
WE CAN SEE THE FINISH LINE.
I WANT THIS FOR US. YOU KNOW,
I WANT THIS FOR TED AND YONG.
I WANT US TO RUN
OUR OWN BUSINESS.
I NEED THIS.
I’VE NEVER WANTED ANYTHING MORE.
BOSTON’S NOT GONNA EVEN KNOW
WHAT HIT ’EM.
LET’S CHECK OUT
WHO’S IN BOSTON
AND SEE WHAT THEY’RE UP TO
THIS WEEKEND.
THERE’S A TRUCK
CALLED MEI MEI,
SO I’M GONNA CALL THEM.
YES, HI. MY NAME IS JACLYN.
WE ARE NONNA’S KITCHENETTE,
AND WE WERE LOOKING TO SEE
IF WE CAN TEAM UP WITH YOU.
YAY!
COMING INTO BOSTON IS
AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE.
BOSTON’S REALLY FILLED
WITH A LOT OF LOCAL FOOD TRUCKS.
THE MEI MEI TRUCK
WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH
TO ALLOW US TO TEAM UP WITH THEM
FOR THE DAY,
SO WE’RE REALLY EXCITED.
I WANT TO, LIKE,
BLOW IT UP.
I DON’T WANT SAUSAGE TO EVEN
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM.
BACK IN L. A., THIS DUDE
NAMED JOHNNY CUPCAKES
OWNS, LIKE, THIS, LIKE,
HUGE CLOTHING LINE,
AND HE’S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET
FROM MY HOUSE.
APPARENTLY, HIS HEADQUARTERS
IS IN BOSTON.
SO WHY DON’T WE TRY
AND DROP HIM A LINE?
HEY, JOHNNY, THIS IS YONG
FROM SEOUL SAUSAGE.
WE’RE A, UH, KOREAN BARBECUE
FOOD TRUCK, AND WE’RE WONDERING
IF WE COULD SWING BY
AND PARK OUR TRUCK THERE?
AWESOME.
JOHNNY CUPCAKES’ HEADQUARTERS IS
IN BOSTON RIGHT ON NEWBURY.
WE THINK THIS IS GONNA BE
A PERFECT LOCATION
FOR SEOUL SAUSAGE
TO PARK OUR TRUCK.
FOOD, FASHION, AND FUN.
YEAH. OH, MY GOSH.
THIS IS RIGHT UP OUR ALLEY.
BOSTON, WE’RE COMING.
LET’S TRY TO STOCK UP
ON EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN
RIGHT NOW,
REALLY THINK
ABOUT THE MENU,
AND GET AS MUCH AS WE CAN
FOR THIS $500.
WE’RE GONNA DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN TO GET IN AND OUT
OF THIS GROCERY STORE
EXTREMELY QUICK,
BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT
WE DO BEST.
STOCK IT UP.
AND HEAD OUT.
WE’RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE MENU
TOO COMPLICATED.
SIMPLE IS BETTER,
AS MY NONNA’S ALWAYS TOLD ME.
LET’S DO THIS.
YEAH.
CHEESE, EGGS.
CHEESE, APPLES.
I GOT A LIST GOING. MINT.APPLES.
BASICALLY WANT TO KEEP
THE SAME MENU‐‐
BURGERS AND THE FRIED BALLS.
BEEF, PORK, RICE.
WHY FIX SOMETHING
THAT’S NOT BROKE?
CHRIS, LET’S GO!
STRAWBERRIES. APPLES.
ALL RIGHT, COOL.
TYLER GAVE US 500 BUCKS,
AND THIS IS THE FINALE,
SO WE’RE GONNA GO FOR THE GUSTO
AND SPEND IT ALL,
STOCK UP FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND.
THAT’S A LOT OF EGGS.
BUTTERMILK
FOR THE RAVIOLIS.
WE’RE CHANGING UP OUR MENU
A LITTLE BIT THIS WEEK.
WE’RE GONNA DO
OUR FRIED RAVIOLIS,
WHICH WE’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE.
IT’S A REALLY QUICK ITEM
THAT’S DELICIOUS.
I KNOW EVERYONE
IS GONNA LOVE THEM.
SO I THINK WE’RE GOOD.
THANK YOU.
OKAY, LET’S GO.
- $384.08 IS YOUR TOTAL.
- HURRY.
DUDE, WE’RE LIKE
5 MINUTES AWAY, MAN.
IT’S GAME TIME.
BOSTON’S A HUGE CITY,
BUT WE DID HIT THE JACKPOT
WITH THIS LOCATION.
IT JUST SEEMS TO BE, LIKE,
THE HEART OF BOSTON.
JUST A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC,
A LOT OF SHOPS. IT’S AWESOME.
MORE, MORE TO THE CURB.
PARTNERING WITH MEI MEI
GIVES US SO MUCH CONFIDENCE
BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY’RE GONNA
DRAW THE CROWDS IN.
IT’S THE PERFECT WAY TO START
OFF THE FINALE IN BOSTON.
WE’RE NOT OPEN YET, BUT JUST
GIVE ME, LIKE, 20 MINUTES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR HAVING US!
GREAT TO SEE
A REALLY LONG LINE,
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO PREP
A HELL OF A LOT OF FOOD.
I’VE BECOME
A HUMAN HAND MIXER.
GIRLS, I THINK WE’LL BE OKAY.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
TAKE A LOOK OUT THE WINDOW,
AND THE LINE IS GINORMOUS.
IT’S GOING DOWN THE BLOCK,
AROUND THE CORNER.
THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BIGGEST
LINE WE’VE EVER SEEN YET.
SEOUL SAUSAGE!
LET’S GO WIN THAT TRUCK,
BOYS!
ALL RIGHT!
WHAT’S UP, BEAN TOWN?
- ARE YOU GUYS HUNGRY?
- YEAH!
ALL RIGHT, WE GOT TWO BURGERS,
TWO BALLS, TWO TA‐TAS,
TWO K‐POPS,
AND TWO LEMONADES.
OH! TWO BALLS.
STARTING OFF STRONG. WHOO!
THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT START.
WE’RE MAKING TONS OF MONEY.
I’M VERY HAPPY.
ONE MORE LEMONADE, GUYS.
THANKS SO MUCH
FOR WAITING.
WE ARE READY TO FEED YOU.
WE ARE SO EXCITED.
THE SAUSAGE BOYS
BETTER WATCH OUT,
BECAUSE WE’RE ON
THE EAST COAST,
AND EVERYBODY HERE
LOVES ITALIAN FOOD,
SO I’M THINKING
THAT WE’RE GONNA
KICK SOME SERIOUS BUTT
THIS WEEKEND.
HI. YOU’RE VERY WELCOME.
IT’S CRAZY BUSY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THE ENERGY
IS JUST SO AMAZING
THAT IT’S JUST BRINGING
PEOPLE IN NONSTOP.
I’M LOSING MY MIND.
THANK YOU.
SO I’M JUST COATING
THE RAVIOLIS
THAT WE’RE GONNA DEEP‐FRY
IN SOME BUTTERMILK AND THEN
SOME ITALIAN BREADCRUMBS,
AND WE’LL FRY ’EM OFF AND SERVE
’EM WITH HOMEMADE SAUCE.
EVERYBODY’S HAPPY
WITH OUR FOOD.
THE FRIED RAVIOLI
IS DOING REALLY WELL.
IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME
THAT EVERYBODY IS WALKING AWAY
HAPPY RIGHT NOW.
HOLD ON,
YOU’RE NUMBER 63.
SO THE TEAMS HAVE JUST LANDED
HERE IN BOSTON,
AND THEY’RE STARTING
TO GET THEIR BEARINGS,
BUT LET’S FACE IT‐‐
THAT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE.
THIS IS NO ORDINARY CITY. IF YOU
CAN RUN A FOOD TRUCK IN BOSTON,
YOU CAN RUN
A FOOD TRUCK ANYWHERE.
I’M SURE WHAT THEY NEED TO DO
IS JUST SETTLE IN
AND FIND THEIR GROOVE,
BUT THIS IS THE FINALE,
AND THAT’S NOT
GONNA HAPPEN JUST YET.
I’M ABOUT TO CALL THEM WITH
A TRUCK STOP COOKING CHALLENGE
THAT’S GONNA TEST THEM FOR SURE,
AND DEFINITELY GIVE ONE OF THEM
A GAME CHANGING ADVANTAGE.
OH, GOD.
OH, NO.
HELLO?
HEY, GUYS, IT’S TYLER.
TYLER.
YOUR TIMING
IS IMPECCABLE, TYLER.
SO HOW ARE YOU LIKING
BOSTON SO FAR?
I’M LIKING IT A LOT,
UNTIL YOU CALLED.
This is a tough place
to run a food truck.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT YOU’RE DOING.
But the good news is,
YOU BOTH ARE ABOUT
AS WELL TRAINED AS IT GETS.
OKAY, WHERE ARE YOU
GOING WITH THIS?
So we’ve talked a lot
over the course of this race
ABOUT TAILORING YOUR MENU
TO LOCAL TASTES.
UH‐HUH.
Your challenge today
is to create a true blue
NEW ENGLAND‐STYLE LOBSTER DISH
that locals are gonna love.
A TRUE NEW ENGLAND
LOBSTER DISH.
IN FACT, LOCALS ARE
GONNA BE YOUR JUDGES.
OH, MY GOD.
In a couple minutes,
you both will be receiving
A VERY SPECIAL DELIVERY.
WE’RE GONNA GET
A SPECIAL DELIVERY.
It’s three lobsters,
AND THEY ARE LIVE.
THREE LIVE LOBSTERS.
YOU GUYS LIKE
LOBSTER?
GET YOUR LOBSTERS,
WHIP UP A DISH,
AND GET READY
TO WOW THE LOCALS.
WE GOTTA START
BOILING WATER.
I THINK YOU JUST NEED
TO STICK ’EM IN.
AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS,
YOU’RE REALLY GONNA WANT
TO WIN THIS CHALLENGE,
BECAUSE THE WINNERS WIN
A MASSIVE ADVANTAGE.
OKAY.
GOOD LUCK, GUYS.
THIS IS A BIG ONE.
It can make all the difference
in the world
on who gets
to keep the food truck
PLUS $50,000.
OH, MY GOD.
Some wicked
awesome lobsters
ARE ON THE WAY TO YOU,
SO LET’S GET COOKIN’.
OH, MY GOD. BYE.
SEE YOU. BYE.
ALL RIGHT, THREE LIVE
LOBSTERS ARE ON THEIR WAY.
WE KNOW GARLIC AND BUTTER
ARE GOOD WITH LOBSTER,
THAT’S FOR SURE,
BUT WHAT ELSE‐‐
WE HAVE PASTA.
WE DO HAVE PASTA.
I’M FREAKING OUT,
BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT WE’RE GONNA
COME UP WITH YET.
JUST KEEP IT NEW ENGLAND,
SO...
ALL I KNOW ABOUT LOBSTER
IS I KNOW HOW TO EAT IT,
AND I KNOW IT’S EXPENSIVE,
SO I DON’T EAT MUCH OF IT.
IT’S GONNA BE TOUGH,
BUT I’LL FIGURE IT OUT.
ALL RIGHT, MAN,
COME ON.
LET’S DO IT.
79.
OH, NO, GUYS,
OUR LOBSTERS ARE HERE.
YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
OH, MY GOD,
I’M GONNA CRY.
HEY, CHRIS, YOU’VE GOT
YOUR LOBSTERS HERE.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD,
IT’S HEAVY.
OH! SORRY, LITTLE GUYS.
OH, MY GOD.
WE GOT SOME LOBSTERS
IN THE HOUSE!
LOBSTER.
HOW ARE WE GONNA BRING
THIS INTO THE TRUCK?
SO TED BRINGS THE LOBSTERS OVER,
AND THEY’RE HUGE,
AND NOW WE’VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM.
OH...
COMING UP ON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"...
JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT WE ARE OPEN BEFORE SEOUL.
IT’S ALL IN
YOUR HANDS.
THAT’S, LIKE, OUR RECORD
TIMES A LOT.
WE’RE DEFINITELY UNDERDOGS.
YOU’RE SCARED.
WE’RE DEFINITELY UNDERDOGS.
YOU’RE SCARED.
WE MOVE...
WE GOTTA ROLL.
AND THEN WE MOVE AGAIN.
SORRY, I’M EMOTIONAL.
YOU’VE JUST MADE
YOUR FINAL SALE, PERIOD.
WE HAVE A WINNER.
THREE MEATBALL, TWO RAVIOLIS,
TWO WAFFLES.
OUR MULTICITY FINALE
HAS JUST BEGUN,
AND BOTH NONNA’S KITCHENETTE
AND SEOUL SAUSAGE
ARE PRIMED TO DO HUGE BUSINESS
HERE IN BOSTON.
ARE PRIMED TO DO HUGE BUSINESS
HERE IN BOSTON.
16.
BUT I’VE THROWN A TRICKY
TRUCK STOP INTO THE MIX.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
GETTING BOILED?
THE TEAMS HAVE TO CREATE A
NEW ENGLAND‐STYLE LOBSTER DISH
THEY’LL BE JUDGED BY A COUPLE
OF LOCAL FISHERMEN.
COULD WE MAKE A CREAM SAUCE
WITH THE BUTTERMILK WE HAVE?
- NEITHER TEAM KNOWS QUITE WHAT TO DO JUST YET...
- AAH!
BUT HERE’S ONE THING
THEY DO KNOW‐‐
THE WINNERS WILL
EARN A HUGE ADVANTAGE
THAT MAY WELL DECIDE WHO
TAKES HOME THEIR FOOD TRUCK,
AND WHO GOES HOME
EMPTY‐HANDED.
OH, GOD, GOT HIM.
ALL TAIL MEAT TODAY.
WE’RE GOING LUXURIOUS TODAY.
THE WAY I’M GONNA GO ABOUT
THIS CHALLENGE THIS WEEK
IS I’M GONNA KEEP IT SIMPLE.
IT’S A LOBSTER, WE IN BOSTON.
I MEAN, I GOTTA DO
A LOBSTER ROLL.
THEY’RE NOT COOKED
ALL THE WAY.
I’M GONNA POACH THEM IN BUTTER
REALLY SLOW,
AND THEN MAKE A LITTLE COLESLAW
ON TOP,
AND JUST KEEP IT
REALLY CLASSIC.
WHAT I’M GONNA DO
IS TAKE THE TAIL...
ALL THIS LOBSTER
INTO ALL THIS BUTTER.
PUT IT ON A BUN, THROW
SOME APPLE COLESLAW ON TOP,
AND THAT’S IT.
KEEP IT SIMPLE.
ONE KIND OF LOBSTER
ON A TINY LITTLE ROLL.
WE’RE EITHER GONNA DO
- A FRIED DIABLO OR LOBSTER CAKES.
- YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WOULD BE FINE WITH
DOING THE LOBSTER CAKE.
AND I THINK THE LOBSTER CAKES
WOULD BE MORE
OF A NEW ENGLAND‐
STYLE DISH.
WE HAVE EVERYTHING ON OUR TRUCK
TO DO LOBSTER CAKES.
WE PUT CLAW MEAT IN IT, SO I
KNOW IT’S GONNA BE INCREDIBLE.
I’M WORKING ON
THE LOBSTER CAKES.
I’M GONNA THROW THE CHUNKS
OF LOBSTER INTO THIS MIX.
IT’S LOBSTER, BREADCRUMBS,
GARLIC, MAYONNAISE.
I’M FEELING LIKE I NEED
TO GET THIS ON THE FRYER NOW,
AND I REALLY WANT
TO DIP IT IN FLOUR AND EGG
AND MAKE IT SUPER CRISPY
ON THE OUTSIDE,
BUT I’M NOT SURE
I HAVE TIME.
THE JUDGE COULD BE HERE
ANY SECOND.
I’M WORKING ON A DIP.
IT JUST HAS MAYO AND PARSLEY
AND HOT SAUCE AND LEMON, GARLIC.
IT’S YUMMY.
OH, MY GOD, THERE’S
SO MANY PEOPLE HERE.
HI.
HI.
WE’RE HERE FOR
THE LOBSTER SPECIAL.
OKAY.
WE DECIDED TO GO
WITH A LOBSTER CAKE,
KIND OF LIKE THE CRAB CAKE‐‐
DOES THAT WORK?
YEAH, THAT’S GREAT.
THESE GUYS JUST LOOK LIKE THEY
GOT OFF THE BOAT, LITERALLY,
AND CAME TO OUR TRUCK.
HERE YOU GO.
SPECIAL DELIVERY.
OH, THIS IS IT?
THIS IS IT.
THEY’RE DEFINITELY GONNA KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT LOBSTERS.
IT’S GOOD.
THIS IS LIKE
A TRADITIONAL FISH CAKE.
THEY ADDED LOBSTER,
THEY DID A GREAT‐‐
WITH BREAD‐‐
BREADCRUMB IN THERE.
IT WAS FRIED.
THEY USED BREADCRUMBS.
BUTTER AND NOT OLIVE OIL
MADE IT GOOD.
YEAH, YOU GOTTA HAVE‐‐
YEAH, THAT’S GOOD.
LOBSTER GOES BETTER
WITH BUTTER.
IT COULD STICK TOGETHER
MAYBE A LITTLE BETTER?
IT’S KIND OF‐‐
BUT THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
FRIED A LITTLE BIT MORE,
AND SHE DIDN’T USE‐‐
MAYBE IT’S
A LITTLE CRUMBLY.
TWO BURGERS,
TWO BALLS.
TA‐TAS,
AND A LEMONADE.
TWO BURGERS, TWO BALLS,
TA‐TAS, AND A LEMONADE.
ORDER!
WE’RE HERE FOR
THE LOBSTER SPECIAL.
OH, YOU GUYS ARE HERE
FOR THE LOBSTER SPECIAL.
IS OUR LOBSTER
SPECIAL READY?
COMING UP.
HOPEFULLY, YOU GUYS
LIKE OUR DISH.
IT’S TAIL MEAT
SLOW‐POACHED IN BUTTER,
AND TO TOP IT OFF,
WE DID AN APPLE COLESLAW.
I’M FEELING
PRETTY COMFORTABLE.
IT’S LOBSTER AND BUTTER
ON A ROLL WITH SOME COLESLAW.
CAN’T MESS THAT UP TOO MUCH,
SO HOPEFULLY, THEY LIKE IT.
I MEAN, IT’S GOOD.
I LIKE THE BUTTER.
LOBSTER HAS TO HAVE
BUTTER WITH IT.
WHICH IS KEY WITH LOBSTER,
YOU GOTTA HAVE BUTTER.
I MEAN, WHETHER YOU BOIL IT
OR COOK IT OR BAKE IT,
IT HAS TO HAVE
A LOT OF BUTTER IN IT.
I LIKE COLESLAW, SO I LIKE IT.
I LIKE THE SAUCE TASTE.
ONE THING I WOULD HAVE
LIKED TO HAVE SEEN
IS FOR ’EM TO CHOP UP
THE TAIL MEAT A LITTLE BIT MORE,
SMALLER PIECES, MAKE IT
A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO EAT,
MAYBE USE SOME CLAW MEAT,
AND I LIKE
MY LOBSTER ROLLS CHILLED.
JEREMY, I GOT
YOUR TWO BALLS.
DUDE, CHRIS,
THIS IS INSANE, MAN.
YEAH, BRO, THIS‐‐
LOOK AT THAT LINE, MAN.
LET’S KEEP IT UP, DUDE.
LET’S KEEP THIS
MOMENTUM, BROTHER.
TYLER HASN’T CALLED TONIGHT
ABOUT THE LOBSTER
CHALLENGE RESULTS.
WHAT’S GOING ON, TYLER?
YOU’RE MESSING WITH MY EMOTIONS.
KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED.
CHRIS IS BOUNCING
OFF THE WALL RIGHT NOW,
JUST WAITING FOR THE NEWS
FROM TYLER.
HEY, TOM‐‐TED‐‐I...
I CAN JUST TELL BY THE WAY
HE’S REPEATING THE ORDERS
THAT HE’S NOT 100% THERE.
AND I’M WAITING
FOR YOUR BALL, OKAY?
YO, TED.
ABOUT EIGHT BURGERS LEFT.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
HI, CAN I HAVE A DOUGHNUT,
YOUR SPECIALTY?
ABSOLUTELY.
THERE HAS BEEN NO WORD
FROM TYLER.
A LITTLE NERVE‐RACKING,
A LITTLE CONCERNED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I KNOW HOW MUCH SEOUL PUTS
INTO THEIR SELLING,
THEIR COOKING.
THIS IS NOT THE TEAM
TO MESS WITH RIGHT NOW.
NUMBER 22.
I HOPE IT WORKED OUT
FOR US. I DON’T KNOW.
CROSS OUR FINGERS. WE REALLY
CAN’T HAVE SAUSAGE WIN.
WE CAN’T.
THEY CANNOT WIN.
NO.
WE GOTTA WIN THAT, DUDE.
I WANT TO WIN IT, DUDE.
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME.
PROBABLY $1,000 OR‐‐
I REALLY PUT A LOT
OF EFFORT INTO THAT, DUDE.
YEAH.
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE IS
OFFICIALLY CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT!
GOOD NIGHT, BOSTON.
NIGHT, BOSTON.
GOOD NIGHT, BOSTON.
NIGHT, BOSTON.
I THINK HE’S GONNA CALL AT,
LIKE, 2:00 A. M. AND BE LIKE‐‐
I DON’T CARE,
I’LL BE FINE WITH THAT.
I NEED A RESPONSE
IMMEDIATELY.I KNOW.
SO THE TEAMS HAVE BEEN
ON PINS AND NEEDLES
WONDERING WHEN
THEY’RE GONNA FIND OUT
WHO WON THE LOBSTER
TRUCK STOP COOK‐OFF,
AND WHAT THAT MASSIVE
ADVANTAGE IS GONNA BE.
WELL, THEY’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT,
PLUS MUCH MORE.
THIS RACE IS ABOUT TO HEAD
INTO A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION,
LITERALLY.
HELLO?
Hey, guys,
it’s Tyler.
OH, IT’S TYLER.
OH, HI, TYLER.
TYLER, GO BACK TO BED.
HIT "SNOOZE."
ARE YOU READY TO HEAR WHO WON
THE LOBSTER TRUCK STOP,
AND WHAT THE ADVANTAGE IS?
YES, WE’RE READY TO HEAR
WHO WON THE LOBSTER STOP.
GOOD. COME MEET ME
DOWN AT THE HARBOR,
YOU’LL FIND OUT WHO WON,
WHAT THE REWARD IS GONNA BE,
AND WHAT IT MEANS
FOR THE LOSER.
WE GOTTA GO DOWN
TO THE HARBOR.
WE’RE GONNA MEET YOU
DOWN AT THE HARBOR.
I’LL MEET YOU ON
THE COURTHOUSE PIER
AT THE FOOT OF THE NORTHERN
AVENUE BRIDGE IN SOUTH BOSTON.
THANKS, TYLER.
I’LL SEE YOU IN
A LITTLE BIT, MAN.
ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU.
I‐‐WE NEED TO WIN.
WELCOME TO
THE COURTHOUSE PIER.
YOU GUYS ARE HERE
TO FIND OUT WHO WON
THE LOBSTER TRUCK STOP COOK‐OFF,
AND RECEIVE YOUR AWARD.
AND YOU ALREADY
KNOW THIS,
BUT THIS REWARD IS HUGE.
WE WANT TO WIN THIS CHALLENGE
SO BAD RIGHT NOW.
IT’S THE GRAND FINALE.
WE NEED ANY HELP THAT
WE CAN GET AT THIS POINT.
BUT BEFORE WE GET
TO THE RESULTS,
THERE’S SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD KNOW.
OKAY.
YOU GUYS ARE DONE
IN BOSTON.
NO!
YOU GUYS ARE HEADED
TO A FUN, ECLECTIC TOWN
WITH A BUSTLING WATERFRONT
AND AN AMAZING FOOD CULTURE.
THAT’S RIGHT, GUYS,
FROM THIS POINT,
YOU ARE HEADED
108 MILES NORTH
TO PORTLAND, MAINE.
I’M FREAKING OUT.
I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE BOSTON.
I LOVE IT HERE.
WE’VE DONE REALLY,
REALLY WELL.
HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THAT WELL
IN PORTLAND?
FIRST, WE GOTTA GET DOWN
TO BUSINESS.
GUYS, YOUR LOBSTER DISHES
YESTERDAY WERE JUDGED
BY A COUPLE OF LOCAL FISHERMEN,
AND ONE OF THEM IS HERE
WITH US TODAY.
CAPTAIN CLARK SANDLER,
AN AMERICAN FISHERMAN
FROM HERE IN BOSTON.
WHOO‐HOO‐HOO!
GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR.
THANK YOU.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
HOW YOU DOING?
I’M FINE, THANKS.
THANKS SO MUCH
FOR DOING THIS.
YOU’RE WELCOME.
THIS IS GREAT.
SO, CAPTAIN CLARK,
YOU TASTED LOBSTER DISHES
FROM BOTH NONNA’S KITCHENETTE
AND SEOUL SAUSAGE.
WE’LL START WITH SEOUL SAUSAGE.
WHAT’D YOU THINK?
THE DISH WAS GOOD.
I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE KEPT
THE COLESLAW TO THE SIDE.
I DON’T THINK I WOULD HAVE
PUT IT IN THE BUN.
THE TASTE WAS THERE.
WHAT I THINK WAS MISSING
WAS THE CLAW MEAT.
I DIDN’T SEE ANY CLAW MEAT
IN THE SANDWICH AT ALL.
BUT IT WASN’T BAD FROM
A COUPLE GUYS FROM L. A.
NOT BAD FOR A COUPLE GUYS
FROM L. A.
AND NONNA’S KITCHENETTE‐‐
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
THAT WAS
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT,
BUT WITH LOBSTER MEAT,
IT WAS A LOBSTER CAKE,
WHICH I’VE NEVER HAD
A LOBSTER CAKE.
IT WAS VERY TASTY,
BUT I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE
STAYED TOGETHER
A LITTLE BETTER.
IT WAS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFICULT TO EAT,
BUT IT WAS VERY TASTY.
INTERESTING.
SO, CAPTAIN CLARK, THIS IS
A VERY IMPORTANT DECISION.
YOU TASTED BOTH DISHES, BUT ONLY
ONE CAN WIN THIS CHALLENGE.
WHO’S IT GONNA BE?
IT’S A TOUGH CHOICE.
I REALIZE THIS IS QUITE
IMPORTANT TO THESE PEOPLE.
UH, I’M GONNA HAVE
TO GO WITH...
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE.
YAY!
OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS AMAZING.
JUST COMPLETELY BLEW THIS
OUT OF THE WATER.
LOSING THIS CHALLENGE
WAS A HUGE BLOW,
UH, NOT JUST FOR MYSELF,
BUT FOR THE TEAM.
I FEEL LIKE I LET
THE TEAM DOWN.
CONGRATULATIONS,
GIRLS.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU EARNED IT,
AND YOU NEEDED IT,
’CAUSE SEOUL SAUSAGE
IS IN THE LEAD RIGHT NOW.
GUYS, CAPTAIN CLARK HAS TO PREP
HIS BOAT FOR THE NEXT TRIP.
GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE
FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NICE MEETING YOU.
YEAH, YOU, TOO. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THANKS SO MUCH.
SO, NONNA’S, ARE YOU GUYS
READY FOR YOUR REWARD?
OH, MY GOD, YES.
YES.
WELL,
YOU GET A NICE
$500 CREDIT IN YOUR TILL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,
YOU GET TO LEAVE FOR PORTLAND
RIGHT NOW,
WHILE SEOUL SAUSAGE
STAYS BEHIND
AND, SHALL WE SAY,
HELPS OUT ONE OF
THE LOCAL BUSINESSES.
THEY’LL PROBABLY END UP
ABOUT THREE HOURS BEHIND YOU.
SO WHAT ARE YOU
LOOKING AT ME FOR?
CAN WE GET GOING?
GET IN YOUR TRUCK,
LET’S GET ROLLING.
WHOO!
PORTLAND,
HERE WE COME!
WHOO!
OKAY, SEOUL SAUSAGE,
THAT WAS A TOUGH LOSS.
THE NONNAS WILL ARRIVE IN
PORTLAND IN ABOUT TWO HOURS,
AND HAVE THE PLACE
TO THEMSELVES.
YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE
A LOT OF GROUND TO MAKE UP.
I GUESS WE BETTER
GET TO WORK THEN, HUH?
THERE’S A RESTAURANT
UP THERE BY THE COURTHOUSE
CALLED THE DAILY CATCH.
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR ITEMS
THEY HAVE ON THE MENU
IS THE NEW ENGLAND
CHERRYSTONE CLAM.
YOUR PUNISHMENT IS THAT YOU
WILL STAY BEHIND ON THE DOCK
AND SHUCK SIX BUSHELS
OF CLAMS.
THAT’S ABOUT 600 POUNDS
OF CLAMS.
WHEN YOU’RE DONE,
YOU CAN HEAD UP TO PORTLAND,
BUT LET’S JUST HOPE THAT
EVERYONE’S NOT FULL OF MEATBALLS
BY THE TIME YOU GET THERE.
THIS ONE HURTS. THREE HOURS
IS A HUGE, HUGE ADVANTAGE.
OOH...
HAVE FUN.
I’LL SEE YOU LATER.
SO WE JUST NEED TO
MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GOOD PLAN
WHEN WE GET TO PORTLAND,
WE NEED TO TAKE, LIKE,
FULL, FULL, FULL ADVANTAGE
OF THOSE THREE HOURS.
WHEN YOU’RE COMPETING AGAINST
A TEAM LIKE SEOUL SAUSAGE,
500 BUCKS IS NOTHING.
WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO HUSTLE.
WE HAVE TO GET UP TO PORTLAND.
I’VE NEVER BEEN THERE. MY FRIEND
MICHELLE HAS BEEN THERE.
I CAN ACTUALLY
CALL HER.
HI, HONEY.
WE HAVE A 3‐HOUR HEAD START
OVER SEOUL SAUSAGE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA, LIKE,
WHERE’S THE MOST FOOT TRAFFIC?
IS THERE, LIKE, A DOWNTOWN AREA
WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO, LIKE, RESTAURANTS
AND BARS?
OKAY.
DUDE, THERE’S SO MANY
FREAKING CLAMS, MAN.
NOTHING FEELS WORSE
THAN THIS.
OH, MY KNEES
AND BACK.
WE’RE HERE SHUCKING CLAMS,
AND NONNA’S IS SELLING
IN PORTLAND.
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
CLAMS! WHOO!
WE HAD AN AMAZING SPOT
SAVED FOR US,
AND THIS IS ALL DUE
TO THE LOCAL BUSINESSES
AROUND PORTLAND,
WHO ARE JUST WILLING
TO HELP US OUT.
ARE MY WHEELS STRAIGHT?
THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT.
WHO’S HUNGRY?
ARE YOU GUYS READY?
IT’S ALREADY BUSY, AND IT’S
ONLY GONNA GET BUSIER TONIGHT,
SO THIS IS AWESOME
RIGHT NOW.
WE’RE STICKING WITH
THE SAME MENU AS LAST NIGHT.
WE’RE DOING OUR
MEATBALL MADNESS SANDWICH,
FRIED RAVIOLIS,
AND WE PERFECTED
THE LOBSTER CAKES
THAT WE GAVE TO THE JUDGES,
AND WE’RE JUST SERVING THEM WITH
OUR HOMEMADE MARINARA SAUCE.
CAN I GET 2 FRIED RAVIOLIS,
PLEASE?
14.
I DON’T KNOW HOW EVERYBODY
FOUND US IN, LIKE, FIVE MINUTES,
BUT THEY DID, AND WE’RE PREPPED,
AND I FEEL SO GOOD RIGHT NOW.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
HI, GOOD. TWO ORDERS
OF FRIED RAVIOLI, PLEASE.
OH, MY GOD,
THERE’S SO MANY ORDERS,
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITH THEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WHOO!
FINALLY FINISH SHUCKING
THOSE DAMN CLAMS.
WE NEED TO GET MOVING.
WE GOTTA GET TO PORTLAND
AS FAST AS WE CAN,
’CAUSE WE NEED TO GET SELLING.
LET’S JUST THINK IT THROUGH,
BECAUSE REMEMBER,
NONNA’S HAS A 3‐HOUR START
ON US.
DUDE, YOU KNOW
WHAT WE SHOULD DO,
IS WE SHOULD JUST GO
RIGHT NEXT TO THEM, MAN.
HONESTLY,
WE CAME THIS FAR,
HOW ARE YOU?
HI, ONE MEATBALL MADNESS,
AND 1 FRIED RAVIOLI.
16.
THERE’S YOUR RAVIOLIS.
THANK YOU.
YOU’RE WELCOME,
AND THERE’S YOUR MEATBALL.
GOOD LUCK.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR COMING BY.
NUMBER 65, RAVIOLIS
AND SWEET BALLS.
OKAY, JUST PARK RIGHT HERE,
CHRIS. WHERE?
WE ALREADY PASSED IT,
DUDE.
I NEED TWO RAVIOLIS...
NO! SEOUL SAUSAGE
IS HERE!
THE SCENE IS GREAT.
IT’S A BAR SCENE.
THIS IS A PERFECT LOCATION
FOR US.
SORRY TO BE YELLING, BUT IT’S
KIND OF URGENT RIGHT NOW.
WE’VE GOT AN HOUR LEFT
TO SELL!
THIS IS DEFINITELY
THE MOST PRESSURE WE’VE FELT
ON THIS WHOLE COMPETITION.
WE WANT THREE OF
THE KOREAN BARBECUE BURGERS.
ALL RIGHT,
THAT’S AN ORDER.
WAY TO START STRONG.
AND THEN THREE
TA‐TA SUPREMES.
OKAY, THREE HOURS, SMALL TOWN,
EVERYBODY’S TRIED NONNA’S.
NOW THEY HAVE TO TRY
SEOUL SAUSAGE.
CHRIS, CHRIS, YOUR BURGER
IS READY, CHRIS.
WE ALWAYS DO WELL AGAINST
ANOTHER TRUCK WHEN WE’RE
RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER,
SO THIS IS RIGHT UP OUR ALLEY.
AND THAT WILL BE $19.
AND YOUR NAME?
SHANNON.
SHANNON, HOW YOU DOING
TONIGHT?
THERE WE GO. THE STREET’S HERE,
STREET’S HERE!
THERE YOU GO,
THERE YOU GO. WHOO!
I FEEL LIKE WE ARE
RUNNING OUT OF FOOD,
SO THIS IS A GREAT REASON
TO CLOSE DOWN
START FRESH TOMORROW MORNING,
AND CALL IT A DAY.
OKAY, SO, GUYS,
I’M COMPLETELY OUT OF FOOD,
BUT I WILL BE HERE TOMORROW.
I’M FEELING REALLY GOOD. I THINK
NONNA’S IS DEFINITELY AHEAD.
IT’S JUST WHENEVER
SEOUL SHOWS UP,
THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING
BREWING OVER THERE.
HEY.
GOOD NIGHT IN PORTLAND!
GOOD JOB, GIRLS.
WE HAD BEST WEEKEND TOGETHER.
GOOD JOB, GIRLS.
JERSEY! JERSEY! JERSEY!
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE COULD HAVE FREAKED OUT, DUDE,
ALL RIGHT, HEY, HEY.
WE COULD HAVE FREAKED OUT,
YELLED AT EACH OTHER,
I LOVE YOU...
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID?
WE CAME TOGETHER AS A TEAM.
I’M EXTREMELY NERVOUS.
I THINK WE HAD FRIDAY,
BUT SATURDAY, MAN,
NONNA’S KILLED IT.
IT’S GONNA ALL COME DOWN
TO TOMORROW.
THIS IS GAME SEVEN,
TWO MINUTES TO GO,
AND WE’RE DOWN‐‐
WE’RE DOWN BY 20, BRO.
IT’S DAY THREE,
AND OUR FINAL TWO TEAMS
ARE BANKING ON A BIG TURNOUT
IN PORTLAND, MAINE.
WE HAVE A SPOT SAVED
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PUB
ON COMMERCIAL STREET. THE LOCALS
SAY THAT’S THE BEST PLACE TO BE.
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE HAS A PRIME
SPOT AT THE WATERFRONT,
WHICH WILL BE BUSTLING
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
I WANT TO BE PREPPED AS MUCH
AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LUNCH,
’CAUSE THAT’S WHEN WE’RE GONNA
GET THE BIGGEST CROWD.
SEOUL SAUSAGE IS FIGHTING
FOR THEIR LIVES
AFTER A CRUSHING LOSS
IN THE LOBSTER TRUCK STOP.
I DON’T THINK
WE’RE WINNING, BRO.
SO THEY’RE JUST GONNA
MOVE IN ON NONNA’S TURF
AND TRY TO OUTSELL THEM.
HEY, GUYS, WE’LL BE OPEN
IN, LIKE, 30 MINUTES, YEAH?
COME CHECK OUT OUR TRUCK.
IT’S MEATBALLS VERSUS SAUSAGE
ON THE STREETS OF PORTLAND,
WITH A FOOD TRUCK AND 50 GRAND
ON THE LINE.
LET’S GET TO COOKING!
NORMALLY WE TAKE A LOT
OF TIME PREPPING, BUT NOT TODAY.
WE’RE GONNA BE FOCUSED, WE’RE
GONNA TAKE ORDERS RIGHT AWAY,
AND JUST GET WHATEVER WE HAVE,
AND JUST START BUSTING IT OUT.
THIS IS PRETTY MUCH
FOOD VERSUS FOOD.
I NEVER THOUGHT
THAT SEOUL SAUSAGE
WOULD JUST BE A FOLLOWER.
I MEAN, I GET IT‐‐
IT’S A COMPETITION.
YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT NEXT
TO WHERE YOUR COMPETITION IS
AND SHOW THEM UP, BUT IT’S‐‐
IT’S GOTTEN REALLY ANNOYING NOW.
WHETHER SEOUL WANTED
TO PARTNER UP OR NOT,
WE WERE DESTINED TO BE
RIGHT IN BACK OF EACH OTHER.
WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO HUSTLE
MORE THAN WE EVER HAVE,
BECAUSE THERE’S NOT A LOT
OF PEOPLE IN THIS CITY,
AND EVERY CUSTOMER
COUNTS RIGHT NOW.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
TWO OF
THE MEATBALL MADNESSES,
ONE OF THE FRIED RAVIOLI,
AND TWO OF THE ROOT BEER FLOATS.
11.
25.
THANK YOU, ENJOY.
HEY, GIRLS, JUST WANT
TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT WE ARE OPEN BEFORE SEOUL,
SO GOOD JOB.
I ORDERED
THE FRIED RAVIOLIS.
THEY’RE DELICIOUS. THEY’RE LIKE
NOTHING I’VE EVER HAD BEFORE.
THEY’RE‐‐THEY HAVE
JUST CHEESE IN THEM,
AND THEY’RE REALLY GOOD
WITH THE MARINARA SAUCE.
WHAT’S UP, PORTLAND?
THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR.
WE’RE AT THE GRAND FINALE.
THERE’S TWO TEAMS LEFT,
AND IT’S ALL
IN YOUR HANDS.
IT’S ALL IN YOUR HANDS,
PORTLAND.
- ARE YOU GUYS READY TO EAT?
- YEAH!
ALL RIGHT,
FIRST CUSTOMER.
I’LL HAVE ONE
OF EVERYTHING.
- YEAH, HE’S GONNA GET THE SEOUL PACK.
- WHOO!
WE’RE PULLING OUT
ALL THE CARDS TODAY.
WE’RE GONNA RAISE OUR PRICES
BY A DOLLAR.
WE GOTTA CLOSE THIS GAP
RIGHT NOW.
THREE K‐POPS, TWO BURGERS,
FIVE BALLS, ONE TA‐TAS...
YEP. YEP. YEP.
AND THEN 1 NACHO.
72.
YEP.
72 IS THE NUMBER
TO BEAT!
WHOO!
DUDE, AT THIS RATE, WE MIGHT
RUN OUT OF BURGER MEAT, BRO.
MMM. DELICIOUS.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD,
IT’S SO GOOD.
IT’S SO CREAMY.
THERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU, ENJOY.
THANKS.
IF WE CAN PULL THIS OFF SOMEHOW,
DUDE, IT’S GONNA BE A MIRACLE.
THE MIRACLE ON RICE.
89 AND 90,
2 MEATBALL SANDWICHES.
SIR, YOU’RE NUMBER 97.
THESE RAVIOLIS ARE LOOKING
BETTER BY THE MINUTE.
I KNOW, THIS IS THE LAST
BATCH OF RAVIOLIS.
NO, I WANTED TO EAT SOME.
WE HAVE GONE THROUGH
SO MUCH FOOD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
- CAN WE JUST START SELLING SPAGHETTI?
- I DON’T THINK
THAT SEOUL COULD HAVE POSSIBLY
CAUGHT UP,
BECAUSE WE’RE HAVING
ANOTHER GREAT DAY,
AND WE STILL HAVE TICKETS
IN THE WINDOW.
IF ANYTHING,
IT’S A CLOSE RACE.
WHAT PART?
YAY!
THAT’S, LIKE, OUR RECORD
TIMES, LIKE, A LOT.
SAUSAGE!
DON’T BE SCARED.
YOU’RE SCARED,
YOU’RE SCARED.
- THAT IS THE WRONG ATTITUDE TO HAVE.
- NONNA’S KITCHENETTE‐‐
THEY HAVE WEIRD WAYS
OF ATTRACTING CUSTOMERS.
THEY HAVE GREAT FOOD,
I’M NOT KNOCKING THEM AT ALL,
YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT AN HOUR
AND A DAY FOR THEIR FOOD.
ABIGAIL!
THESE ARE CUSTOMERS.
THEY’RE NOT NUMBERS...
$10, AND WE’LL CALL OUT
YOUR NAME, OKAY?
BUT AT THIS POINT,
EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS.
I DON’T THINK IT’S ENOUGH
YET, DUDE.
IT’S NOT ENOUGH, DUDE.
IT IS NOT ENOUGH.
SO WHEN I TOLD THE TEAMS WE WERE
MOVING TO PORTLAND, MAINE,
I’M PRETTY SURE THAT
NEITHER TEAM HAD ANY IDEA
WHAT TO EXPECT,
AND NOW I CAN SAFELY SAY
THAT BOTH TEAMS
WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
THIS IS A GREAT TOWN WITH
A FANTASTIC FOOD SCENE,
AND BOTH TEAMS
ARE FITTING RIGHT IN.
AND I’M SURE THAT THE NONNA
GIRLS AND THE SAUSAGE GUYS
WOULD LOVE TO STAY
IN PORTLAND, MAINE,
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF PEAK SEASON
AND MAKE A TON OF DOUGH,
BUT THAT’S NOT
HOW THE FINALE WORKS.
WE MOVE, WE MOVE,
AND THEN WE MOVE AGAIN.
I’M ABOUT TO ROCK
THEIR WORLD.
OH, NO.
WHAT?
I THINK TYLER’S CALLING.
HELLO?
Hey, guys, it’s Tyler.
HI, TYLER.
TYLER’S CALLING!
OH, NO.
YEAH, SO PORTLAND, MAINE,
NICE LITTLE SURPRISE, HUH?
OH, PORTLAND’S AWESOME,
BRO.
WELL, THIS IS THE CALL
YOU KNEW WAS COMING.
YEAH, WE KNEW.
THIS PARTY WAS NOT
GONNA LAST FOREVER.
I TOLD YOU GUYS
BACK IN CLEVELAND
THAT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE
TO MAKE SEVERAL STOPS
BEFORE YOU GOT
TO THE FINISH LINE.
GUYS, YOU’RE MOVING AGAIN.
WE’RE MOVING.
OH, MY GOD.
I’M GONNA CRY
RIGHT NOW.
GUYS, YOU’RE MOVING AGAIN.
TO WHERE?
TO A CHARMING LITTLE TOWN
227 MILES NORTHEAST OF HERE.
THAT TOWN IS CALLED LUBEC,
AND IT’S GOT A POPULATION
OF 1,600.
A POPULATION OF...
OF 27 PEOPLE?
1,600 PEOPLE.
It’s right on the Maine coast,
AND AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IT’S HOME
to the easternmost point in
the contiguous United States.
OH, MY GOD.
So Lubec is not a big place,
so I’m just gonna tell you,
WATER STREET IS WHERE
YOU WANT TO BE.
But be careful,
you make a wrong turn,
AND YOU’LL BE
IN NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA.
IF YOU MAKE A WRONG TURN UP
THERE, YOU’LL END UP THE CANADA.
It’s not quite
tourist season yet,
so it’s gonna be
a little quiet.
YOU’RE GONNA NEED EVERY ONE
OF THESE LOCALS ON YOUR SIDE,
and for that reason, no single
item can cost more than...
2 BUCKS.
EVERYTHING HAS TO BE
UNDER $2.
OKAY, SO SHUT DOWN
RIGHT NOW...
WE’RE SHUTTING IT DOWN
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW?
And before you get
too excited,
DON’T EXPECT TO FIND
THE FINISH LINE... THERE.
OH, MY GOSH, DUDE.
WHAT?
HE SAYS THAT MIGHT NOT
EVEN BE THE FINISH LINE.
HAVE FUN, GUYS.
DRIVE SAFE. BYE.
OH, MY GOD.
THEN WE JUST
DO DOUGHNUTS.
YEAH.
DOUGHNUTS, DOUGHNUTS,
AND MORE DOUGHNUTS.
CALLING IT A DAY.
THANK YOU, PORTLAND!
YOU GUYS WERE AMAZING.
HOW ARE
YOU FEELING, MAN?
I’M BEAT, DUDE, I’M TIRED.
YEAH.
I THOUGHT YESTERDAY
WAS THE LAST DAY...
SERIOUSLY, MAN.
AND THEN TYLER
THROWS US LUBEC.
LUBEC IS EVERYTHING TO US.
IT’S CRITICAL THAT WE DO GOOD.
WE GOTTA BEAT THE NONNAS TODAY.
WE ARE A LONG WAY
FROM HOME, BRO.
IT JUST SCARES ME THAT WE’RE
TRYING TO RUN A FOOD TRUCK
IN A TOWN THAT’S
MEANT TO BE
A PEACEFUL, RELAXING
TYPE OF AREA.
ME BEING AGGRESSIVE DEFINITELY
ISN’T GOING TO WORK HERE.
NO. NO, IT NEEDS TO BE,
LIKE, COMPLETE OPPOSITE.
THERE’S NO GUARANTEE HOW
MANY PEOPLE ARE GONNA COME OUT.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
WE’VE DONE ZERO MARKETING.
AND WITH $2, WE WON’T BE ABLE
TO MAKE THAT MUCH MONEY.
LET’S BLAST OUT THE FULL MENU,
SMALLER PORTIONS,
AND GO REALLY, REALLY LIGHT
ON THE QUANTITY OF STUFF.
OH, THERE’S THE SIGN‐‐
"WELCOME TO LUBEC."
OH, MY GOD,
WE’RE HERE.
OH, WE’RE IN LUBEC.
WE ARE IN LUBEC.
I KNOW IT’S A SMALL TOWN, BUT
LET’S END IT WITH A BIG BANG.
THIS IS
WATER STREET?
THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE.
ROOT BEER FLOATS,
KIDS?
OH, MAN, THESE PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR US, HUH?
HI, LUBEC!
WE’RE NONNA’S KITCHENETTE!
HELLO!
WHOO!
WE ARE SEOUL SAUSAGE. WE CAME
ALL THE WAY FROM LOS ANGELES.
INSIDE WE’VE GOT MY BROTHER,
AND ALSO ONE OF THE HOTTEST
CHEFS FROM LOS ANGELES, SO WE’D
LOVE TO FEED YOU GOOD FOOD.
THERE’S ONLY 1,600 PEOPLE
IN LUBEC,
AND SO THIS IS DEFINITELY
AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD FOR US,
AND THAT’S SEOUL SAUSAGE’S
ADVANTAGE RIGHT NOW.
ALL RIGHT,
LET’S GO, SIR.
OHH!
HEY, THIS GUY
SPEAKS KOREAN.
THERE’S KOREANS IN LUBEC!
WHAT CAN I GET
FOR YOU, SIR?
FLAMING FIRE BALLS.
YES, SIR, HOW MANY
OF THOSE WOULD YOU LIKE?
25.
WHOO, 25 FLAMING BALLS!
YOU GUYS BETTER GET CRACKIN’!
HEY!
ALL RIGHT, THAT’S GONNA BE
$50, SIR.
THERE YOU GO.
OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
KAMSAHAMNIDA.
IT IS PURE BEDLAM
IN THE TRUCK RIGHT NOW.
TED IS TAKING ORDERS
DOWN THE LINE.
THE FLAMING FRIED RICE BALLS
ARE REALLY GOOD.
OKAY, WE’LL TRY THAT.
ME AND YONG ARE CRANKING OUT
STUFF AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
IT’S PURE MADNESS.
WE’VE GOT DESSERT
FOR RILEY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU’RE NUMBER 09.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
HI, HOW ARE YOU?
HOW ARE YOU?
GREAT.
I’LL HAVE
SOME SWEET BALLS.
BALLS.
ALL RIGHT, WE’VE GOT TWO BALLS,
TWO TA‐TAS, TWO LEMONADES,
AND TWO SPECIALS.
HEY! HERE WE GO,
HERE WE GO.
ALL RIGHT, WE GOT A LEMONADE
AND A BALL FOR LUCY.
ALL RIGHT!
I’M, LIKE,
WARP SPEED RIGHT NOW.
WE GOT TA‐TAS, TWO BALLS,
AND A DESSERT BALL.
HEY!
$4, PLEASE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
SURE.
THAT’S BEAUTIFUL.
ALL RIGHT, WE GOT A BALL
AND A PANCAKE BALL.
YO, LET’S JUST KEEP
PUMPING THIS STUFF OUT.
YONG, I’VE GOT TWO BALLS
AND TWO TA‐TAS.
SO THE TEAMS ARE DUKING IT OUT
IN LUBEC RIGHT NOW,
AND THERE’S ONE THING I CAN TELL
YOU THAT THEY DON’T KNOW‐‐
THIS RACE IS CLOSE‐‐
SHOCKINGLY CLOSE.
WHEN THE TEAMS GOT INTO TOWN
90 MINUTES AGO,
THEY WERE SEPARATED BY $5.
NOW EITHER ONE OF THESE TEAMS
WOULD BE A WORTHY WINNER
OF THIS COMPETITION,
BUT ONLY ONE TEAM CAN WIN IT.
I’M ABOUT TO CALL THIS RACE,
SO WE’RE GONNA FIND OUT
WHICH TEAM HAS.
OH, NO,
MY PHONE’S RINGING.
OH, MY GOD,
TYLER’S CALLING.
OH, GOSH.
HEY, TYLER.
Well, guys,
I can’t tell if you’re actually
happy or sad to hear from me,
BUT ONE THING I KNOW
FOR SURE IS THAT
THIS IS THE LAST TIME IT’S
GONNA HAPPEN ON THIS RACE.
You’ve just made
your final sale, period.
OH...
OUR FINAL SALE.
GUYS, CLOSE DOWN, PACK UP,
and make your way out
the same way you came in,
and then follow the signs to
the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse.
YOU’LL FIND ME RIGHT
IN FRONT OF IT WAITING FOR YOU.
OH, MY GOSH,
TYLER’S GONNA BE
IN FRONT OF THE LIGHTHOUSE
WAITING FOR US.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE,
BRING ME YOUR CASHBOXES,
AND I’LL COUNT THE CASH
ONE TEAM AT A TIME,
every single dollar.
EVERYTHING UNDER A DOLLAR
ROUNDS DOWN.
TYLER’S GONNA COUNT
THE MONEY.
NO MORE SALES?
NO MORE SALES.
THAT’S IT.
OH.
THE TEAM WITH THE HIGHEST TOTAL
KEEPS THEIR FOOD TRUCK
and wins $50,000.
THE LOSER HEADS HOME.
Okay, guys, shut down
and close up,
AND GET YOURSELVES TO
THE LIGHTHOUSE. IT’S TIME.
TED, TYLER JUST CALLED.
OH, ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WE’RE DONE WITH
THE TRIP, DUDE.
WE HAVE TO GO
TO THE LIGHTHOUSE,
BRING OUR CASHBOXES. HE’S GONNA
COUNT THE MONEY RIGHT THERE.
WINNER TAKES THE FOOD TRUCK
AND 50 G’s,
LOSER GOES HOME.
SEVEN WEEKS, SEVEN CITIES‐‐
WHOO!
WHAT AN EPIC RIDE.
HI, EVERYONE.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE DONE HERE.
SORRY, I’M EMOTIONAL.
AW.
YOU’RE GONNA MAKE ME...
AW, JACLYN,
THERE’S A SOFT SIDE.
IT’S ALL GOOD, DUDE.
HEY, LOOK‐‐
LET’S GO COUNT THIS MONEY.
IF WE WIN, WE WIN.
IF WE LOSE, GO HOME
WITH OUR HEADS HUNG UP HIGH.
IF WE LOSE,
WE SHAKE THEIR HANDS.
YEAH, MAN.
OF COURSE.
WE LOST TO A GOOD TEAM,
IF THAT’S THE CASE.
I MEAN, THEY HUSTLED, TOO,
YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, THEY HUSTLED, TOO,
YOU KNOW?
GUYS, WELCOME TO THE
WEST QUODDY HEAD LIGHT STATION
AND THE EASTERNMOST POINT
IN THE CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES.
BEHIND ME IS THE QUODDY NARROWS.
BEYOND THAT IS CANADA.
BEYOND THAT IS
THE OPEN ATLANTIC OCEAN.
YOU TWO TEAMS TRAVELED
3,559 MILES.
THIS IS OUR SEVENTH
AND FINAL
"GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE"
ELIMINATION.
YOU STARTED IN
LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
SEVEN WEEKS AGO,
AND KNOCKED OFF SIX OTHER
WORTHY COMPETITORS.
YOU ENDURED CHALLENGE
AFTER CHALLENGE,
COOKED YOUR HEARTS OUT,
AND SUBJECTED YOURSELF TO THE
ULTIMATE FOOD TRUCK BOOT CAMP.
MOST IMPORTANTLY,
YOU BEGAN IN LONG BEACH
AS WIDE‐EYED ROOKIES,
AND TODAY, THERE’S NOT A SINGLE
FOOD TRUCK IN THE COUNTRY
THAT HAS THE TRAINING
THAT YOU HAVE.
BUT HERE’S THE THING,
AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT.
WHEN YOU ENTERED LUBEC
90 MINUTES AGO,
YOU WERE SEPARATED...
BY $5.
OH, COME ON.
THAT’S NOT A JOKE.
$5. THIS RACE
WAS TIGHT.
$5, AFTER A DAY IN BOSTON,
THE LOBSTER CHALLENGE,
AND ALL THE MADNESS
IN PORTLAND.
AND THEN YOU HAD ONE
LAST WILD SWING
THROUGH LUBEC, MAINE.
I’M GONNA HAVE TO COUNT
YOUR MONEY,
AND ONCE I DO,
WE’LL HAVE A WINNER,
RIGHT HERE
AT THIS SPOT.
ONE TEAM WILL WIN
THEIR FOOD TRUCK
AND $50,000.
THE OTHER TEAM WON’T.
SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE
ANYTHING TO SAY? JESSICA?
I JUST KNEW IT WAS
GONNA BE CLOSE.
THEY’RE GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO,
AND WE’RE GOOD AT WHAT WE DO,
SO I ACTUALLY DON’T KNOW
HOW TO FEEL.
EVERYTHING YOU SAID
IS VERY TRUE.
CHRIS, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY?
I’M REALLY PROUD OF MY TEAM,
MY BOYS.
PROUD OF NONNA’S, TOO.
THEY’VE COME A LONG WAY, TOO,
SO WE’RE ALL WINNERS HERE,
WIN OR LOSE.
THAT’S ALSO TRUE.
OKAY, NONNA’S, JESSICA, STEP
FORWARD, HAND ME YOUR CASHBOX.
ALL RIGHT, JESS,
THANKS A LOT.
ALL RIGHT, TED,
COME UP WITH YOUR BOX.
ALL RIGHT, TED,
THANKS MUCH.
OKAY, GUYS.
WE HAVE A WINNER.
BUT BEFORE I ANNOUNCE
WHO THAT IS,
LET’S TALK REAL QUICK.
JACLYN, IF YOU LOSE THIS RACE,
WHAT’S YOUR ONE REGRET?
MAYBE I DIDN’T
PUSH HARD ENOUGH.
MAYBE I DIDN’T
GET OUT THERE ENOUGH.
YOU GUYS PUSHED
PLENTY HARD.
IF YOU DO LOSE THIS RACE,
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE CAN GO HOME
WITH THEIR HEAD HELD HIGH,
THAT’S A FACT.
TED, IF YOU LOSE THIS RACE,
WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST REGRET?
THERE WERE PLENTY OF TIMES
WE COULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, HUSTLED
A LITTLE HARDER,
YOU KNOW, GRABBED MORE PEOPLE,
GRABBED MORE CUSTOMERS.
I THINK YOU’RE ONE
OF THE MOST TALENTED
FRONTMEN WE’VE EVER SEEN
IN THIS RACE.
WE’VE SEEN,
OUT OF BOTH TEAMS,
COMMITMENT, INTEGRITY,
TEAMWORK‐‐
IT’S ALL THERE.
NONNA’S, YOU WERE JUST
THREE GIRLS FROM JERSEY
THAT JUST LIKED TO COOK
YOUR GRANDMAS’ RECIPES,
AND HERE YOU ARE FIVE MINUTES
AWAY FROM POSSIBLY WINNING
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
I HOPE SO.
AND, SEOUL, YOU THREE GUYS
BUCKED THE ODDS IN A BIG WAY.
IT’S NOT EASY
TO TELL YOUR PARENTS
YOU’RE GOING
A DIFFERENT WAY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY COME FROM
A VERY TRADITIONAL CULTURE.
I THINK I CAN COMFORTABLY SAY,
WIN OR LOSE,
YOUR PARENTS HAVE GOT
A LOT TO BE PROUD OF.
WE’VE DONE 20 LEGS OF THIS RACE
IN 22 CITIES,
BUT THIS LAST LEG,
THIS MAD DASH TO NEW ENGLAND,
WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE
THINGS I’VE EVER SEEN.
SO THE QUESTION’S GONNA
COME DOWN TO THIS‐‐
WHO MADE THE MOST,
WHO MADE THE LEAST,
AND WHO’S THE WINNER
OF "THE GREAT
FOOD TRUCK RACE"?
GUYS, LET’S DO THIS.
THE WINNER OF
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE,"
WITH A TOTAL OF
$6,670‐‐
SEOUL SAUSAGE.
THIS IS CRAZY!
I’M ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
I’M BOUNCING AROUND
YOU GUYS.
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO REACT RIGHT NOW.
WE DID IT, DUDE.
WE JUST WON
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
THIS WAS HUGE.
GOOD JOB.
FAME IS NICE,
FORTUNE IS NICE,
BUT THOSE ALWAYS FADE AWAY.
AS LONG AS MY PARENTS
ARE PROUD OF ME,
I MEAN, THAT’S
ALL THAT MATTERS.
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE,
YOU MADE $6,570.
YOU FELL SHORT
BY JUST $103.
GIRLS, THIS IS THE TOUGHEST
ELIMINATION, BY FAR.
LISA, JESSICA,
AND JACLYN,
PLEASE HAND ME YOUR KEYS
AND HEAD BACK TO JERSEY.
THANK YOU.
BOYS, A HAND FOR
NONNA’S KITCHENETTE.
WE’RE SO THANKFUL
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY,
BECAUSE THERE’S ONLY
AMAZING THINGS TO COME.
THIS IS NOT THE END FOR US,
BY ANY MEANS.
GUYS, YOU WERE REALLY
ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING TEAMS
WE’VE EVER HAD, AND YOU’RE GONNA
BE A FORCE TO RECKON WITH
FOR YEARS TO COME.
LOOK OUT, L. A.
- ONE, TWO, THREE...
- SEOUL SAUSAGE!
FELLAS,
I’M SO EXCITED,
STEP FORWARD AND CLAIM
YOUR $50,000.
OOH...
WHOO‐HOO!
WHOA!
OH, MY GOSH.
OHH.
WHOO! I KNOW!
LOVE YOU, GREEN!
YOU GUYS EARNED THIS, MAN.
CONGRATULATIONS, MAN.
THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS.
YOU ARE IN BUSINESS, MY FRIEND.
OHH!
YOU GOT YOUR TRUCK,
AND YOU’VE GOT $50,000.
WHOO‐HOO‐HOO!
WE GOT IT!
SEOUL SAUSAGE WINS
"THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE."
I AM NOW A FOOD TRUCK OWNER.
WHAT ARE YOU
WAITING FOR, MAN?
LET’S GET BACK TO L. A.,
AND LET’S GET ROLLING!
I REALLY HOPE THAT
IT SHOWS AMERICA
THAT IF YOU BELIEVE
IN SOMETHING,
YOU GOTTA TRY IT,
YOU GOTTA GO AFTER IT.
BIG MAMA!
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
