Tyler Florence kicks off the race in Los Angeles, the food truck capital of the world. Seven teams of food truck owners are challenged to make and sell luxe versions of traditional food truck fare. From private plane hors d'oeuvres to champagne-infused main dishes, the teams have to elevate their skills to the next level to win a shot at the $50,000 prize.
On this trip, Guy Fieri's diving into joints servin' up spectacular surf and tasty turf. There's bison pastrami and smoked white fish in Duluth, Minn., crab cakes and pork belly in New Jersey, Creole shrimp and prime rib in Mississippi and clam linguine and elk ravioli in Seattle. KISS's Gene Simmons crashes a Hawaiian joint in Los Angeles serving a meat-fish combo, and in Havana, Cuba, they're making regional specialties including lobster cooked with something unexpected.
Mary Berg abides by the steakhouse ethos for side dishes: stuff it and coat it in cheese! She uses this rule for her Stuffed Mushrooms prepped two ways -- crab cake style and garlicky cheese style -- and her Shrimp Scampi Stuffed Potato. For greens that can stand out next to a sizzling hunk of meat, Mary makes a Cheesy Broccoli and Cauliflower Skillet with crispy panko topping and a classic Wedge Salad with homemade blue cheese dressing.
