The Great Food Truck Race is a reality television series that originally aired on August 15, 2010, on Food Network, with Tyler Florence as the host. It features competing food trucks. The fourth season premiered on August 18, 2013. The fifth season began on August 17, 2014. The show was renewed for a sixth season, which started airing on August 23, 2015.
Initially seven specialty food trucks, compete against each other for the next six weeks in different cities. In the following seasons eight food trucks compete over seven weeks in different cities. The competition started for season one in Los Angeles, for the second season it started in Malibu, CA, the third season the race started in Long Beach, CA, and the fourth season begins at the Hollywood Sign, but in both of the latter cases, the start of the selling was not there. The trucks move through a series of cities across the country, ending on the east coast. Season one ended in New York, NY, season two ended in Miami Beach, FL, season three ended in Boston, MA, Portland, ME and Lubec, ME, and season four ended in Washington D.C.. The goal each week is for the trucks to win by having the highest sales total. The food truck that makes the least money is eliminated, and must return home, while the remaining trucks advance to the next city. In addition, the winning truck owners may earn a trip or other prizes. The winner of the final competition wins $50,000 ($100,000 in season two, $50,000 and their own truck in season three, four and five).
In season one, each team faced a Truck Stop challenge in every city. The challenge consisted of a cooking competition with some unique twist such as adding chili peppers or using a limited selection of utensils. The winner often gained a significant advantage over their competitors who were also typically punished.
