Genre: Reality Competition, Food
For the first time in the show's history, The Great Food Truck Race is pitting industry pros against talented up-and-coming rookies in a David vs. Goliath battle of the best food on wheels.
Hosted by Tyler Florence, nine teams from across the US with specialties ranging from Jamaican tacos to modern Pakistani street food to elevated vegan dishes must prove their culinary expertise, marketing savvy and selling skills in action-packed challenges to beat their rivals and stay in the race.
Los Angeles has long led the food truck movement, and this season's action takes place right in the centre of the industry's booming business.
Kicking off with all nine teams showcasing a dish that defines their business, the race then hits the baseball field to serve Little League players and their families with a visit from LA Dodgers player Mookie Betts.
Other challenges include using Chef Antonia Lofaso's well-known restaurant dishes as inspiration for their own menus, creating social media content to draw crowds and cooking for guest judges Chef Jet Tila, Chef Joe Sasto and last season's winner, Señoreata's Evanice Holz.
All the action culminates in a head-to-head finale where only one team is awarded a $50,000 grand prize.
In the Season 16 premiere, "This is Food Truck Heaven?": 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.
High-stakes challenges throughout Los Angeles culminate in the finale, where the two remaining teams go head-to-head and the last truck standing is awarded the $50,000 grand prize.
