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.

Things are getting hot in Palm Springs, Calif., where the food truck teams have to conquer the extreme heat as well as their fears to tackle an unprecedented aerial challenge from Tyler Florence. A mystery ingredient enhances all the teams' dishes, and the locals show the trucks big love. After two days of selling, however, one food truck will have to shut its doors forever.
