Host Tyler Florence kicks off an action-packed, eight-city ride, starting in Savannah with nine food trucks and racing up America's Southern Atlantic Coast. Baseball's funnest team, the Savannah Bananas, raise a ruckus, and as the trucks tackle their banana-themed challenge, a clear front-runner emerges. On the final sales day, three teams must fight for their lives to stay in the race. The season's first elimination brings a shocking, never-before-seen surprise.

Seven food trucks hit Charleston, S.C., and Chef Kardea Brown shows no mercy as she judges their attempts at Gullah Geechee dishes. Then, host Tyler Florence releases the teams to sell on the wild streets of Charleston, revealing who's ready for the hard sell and who falls way short. Finally, facing torrential rains, Chef Rodney Scott brings his signature BBQ to the teams to see who can make a dish worthy of a real pitmaster.

Host Tyler Florence unleashes the food trucks onto the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach, S.C., where one team blows past the competition and makes an enemy in the process. Teams that previously led the pack plummet in the rankings while one team skyrockets from the bottom to the top. Then, the real shock comes at elimination when a fan favorite gets the worst possible news.

It's payback time as host Tyler Florence brings the trucks to Wilmington, N.C., and two teams with a serious beef attempt to settle the score. Meanwhile, another team gets shut down by county officials, jeopardizing their chances of staying in the race. All the trucks fight to win a breakfast challenge worth $15,000 in reward money, and this week's eliminated team gets served an ice-cold plate of revenge.
