In the returning show, hosted by Tyler Florence, nine teams of aspiring food truck owners must prove their cooking chops, marketing savvy and selling skills in high-stakes challenges to beat their rivals and stay in the race.

The final showdown will take place in San Diego where one team is awarded the $50,000 grand prize.
