La guerre des popotes roulantes

Eight teams of aspiring food truck owners arrive in Long Beach, CA, to kick off this season's Great Food Truck Race: Lighthouse to Lighthouse.

The seven remaining teams roll into Flagstaff, Arizona, where they face a prickly pear challenge.

The teams are welcomed to Amarillo, Texas, at the stadium of the Amarillo Sox, a minor league baseball team. Tyler announces this week's Truck Stop: The teams must add a ballpark-inspired special to their menu.

The five remaining teams roll into Fayetteville, AR, a college town bustling with teenagers. Their Truck Stop Challenge is targeted at this audience as they must create an amazing breakfast dish using Kellogg's Pop Tarts.

The final four trucks head to the heart of the south in Nashville. For their Truck Stop Challenge, the teams have to create a down-home, country-style picnic for country music stars Joey and Rory.

The final three teams roll into Cleveland. In the spirit of Outback Steakhouse's famous Bloomin' Onion, they are challenged to take a ripe Ohio tomato, and create a delectable appetizer.

The final two teams get sent to tiny Lubec, Maine, to do business. The winner will drive away in their new food truck, along with $50,000 to get their business started.
