Plot Synopsis

In this one-hour competition series, four teams present their food-truck concepts to a panel of judges, who select two teams to face-off in a two-day showdown with the winning team driving away with their very own customized food truck for a year. In each episode, four new teams must impress radio and television personality Steak Shapiro and restaurateur Alpana Singh, as well as a rotating panel of guest judges including Andrew Gruel, Robyn Almodovar and Zane Caplansky. Based on the viability and quality of their ideas, the judges select two teams to the test on the streets of North America, including cites like Miami, FL (Bayfront Park; Charnow Park Community Center; Surfside); Los Angeles, CA (Venice Beach; Wilshire Blvd; South Pasadena Farmers Market); Austin, TX (South Congress; Republic Square); and Toronto, Ontario (Roundhouse Park; Distillery District). On the first day, it is truck against truck. The team with the tastiest food, best service and most pleasing presentation is awarded a critical special advantage during the final round. On the last day, the competition fuels up as the trucks must face off not only against each other, but against other local food trucks. The team with the highest profits at the end of the two days is crowned winner, driving away with their own food truck for one full year.
