List of The Great Food Truck Race episodes

The following is a list of episodes for the reality television series The Great Food Truck Race.

The first season begins with seven teams embarking on a journey to win a $50,000 prize. In the premiere, the teams arrive in Los Angeles, California. But before they can even begin the race, they encounter their first Truck Stop, an early challenge that gives the advantage to one truck in the main elimination challenge. They are told that instead of the race beginning in Los Angeles, it begins in San Diego, California. To make the race fair, all teams begin with an empty truck and an equal amount of seed money to buy supplies. They are given three days to prepare, promote and sell their food by any means necessary. After a weekend of selling, the totals are tallied and the teams find out who continues on to the next location. After experiencing fryer issues, causing them to lose a day of sales, and having to pay a $300 appearance fee at a festival, the Nana Queens were the first team eliminated.

The six remaining trucks continue on to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where teams make calls to local tastemakers to help them up their sales. While the teams are busy selling, they are interrupted by Tyler calling with their Truck Stop challenge: they must add chili peppers and make a new dish with it. A mystery shopper, who turns out to be chef Eric DiStefano, tastes all the dishes and picks the best one. Spencer on the Go wins the challenge and receives immunity from the weekend's competition. After failing to properly promote themselves and unsuccessfully attempting to poach off Nom Nom's business, Ragin' Cajun was eliminated from the race.

With five teams remaining, it's off to Fort Worth, Texas, the beef capital of the world, where they meet in front of the courthouse. With the competition underway, Tyler calls them with their next Truck Stop: teams must butcher a quarter cow and make a new dish with it. Like week two, a mystery shopper, who turns out to be the "King of Fort Worth," Tim Love, selects which dish is the best. Grill 'Em All wins the challenge and receives a Texan Rodeo Buckle, which is estimated at $1,000, which is the amount that is added toward their final total. After a bad decision on their location, which cost them customers, Crepes Bonaparte was eliminated from the race. However, they earned the fourth-greatest amount of money in raw sales, but were defeated by Grill 'Em All in the Truck Stop Challenge, in which they placed second. If they had won the Truck Stop, they would have been pushed into first for the round.
