The Great Food Truck Race: Season 16, Episode 1

16 - 1: This is Food Truck Heaven?

In the premiere episode, Tyler welcomes the nine teams to Los Angeles, where the food truck business is booming and cutthroat. With five talented rookie teams who have never owned or operated a food truck and four teams of seasoned pros, this David vs. Goliath battle gives each business the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish themselves in the country's food truck capital. For the first challenge, the teams must make a jaw-dropping dish that not only defines them as a business - but also demonstrates they are ready to compete at a high culinary level. The teams then hit the pavement to sell and the least successful truck is sent home.
