761"Welcome Back, Winners"June 6, 2021 (2021-06-06)
The champions of previous seasons meet Tyler and Fernando, the head baker of Boudin Bakery. In this first challenge, the teams cut sourdough loaves into bread bowls, with one of the loaves having the keys to their food truck baked inside of them. Once a team has found their keys, they can leave to begin their race. If a bread bowl is not cut perfectly, Tyler and Fernando toss another loaf of bread onto their table. Aloha Plate was first to finish, followed by NOLA Creations, Seoul Sausage, Mystikka Masala, Waffle Love, The Lime Truck, and The Middle Feast. On the first day, Mystikka closes early, Aloha goes back shopping, and Waffle Love tries to sell to other customers. In the second challenge, teams create a bread bowl dish, which they can price however they want, and the team that makes the most money off of the dish will have their sales of it doubled.

Florence tastes each dish, and the team whose dish he likes best doubles the value of their sales of that dish. Fishnet opts out of this challenge. Bao Bei wins, and their doubled sales earn them $1500. New menu items slow food prep for some teams, and Argentina's Empanadas experiences intense internal conflict. On the second day, teams may go wherever they want, but each squad sells together to gather large crowds. Coincidentally, both squads chose the same location. In the second challenge, teams must create a shrimp dish. Every team member must peel and devein the shrimp given to them before they can prep and take orders. The winners receive $500 for selling the most specials. Fishnet skips this challenge because Uswa is allergic to shrimp; Bao Bei wins the challenge.

Additionally, Florence and local chef Panini Pete taste the crayfish specials and award $500 to the team with the best dish. Argentina's Empanadas wins the selling portion while Bao Bei wins the taste challenge. Sales are generally low. The following day, teams may park anywhere but end up selling next to each other. Chad of Argentina's Empanadas accuses Bao Bei of cheating based on a customer's account. The other teams do not believe the allegation, and Wally's Waffles later partners with Bao Bei to promote both trucks; Fishnet, meanwhile, calls Argentina's food pre-packaged. In the second challenge, Florence gifts each team a king cake, with a $300 medal baked into one of them. They must also deconstruct and use their king cake in a new menu special.

1121"Surviving Savannah"August 3, 2025 (2025-08-03)

The nine teams meet Tyler Florence in Savannah, where they're immediately given their first challenge.

  • Teams had 30 minutes to make Tyler their signature dish, with the best dish earning that team $300 in their till. The winner was Rising Tiger. G's Cheesesteaks also received $150 for having the second-best dish.

Selling at a joint location, many teams faced difficulties from mechanical issues to locating the proper ingredients. By the final hour of service, the Savannah Bananas baseball team came by as Tyler announced their next challenge.

  • Teams needed to create a new menu item featuring bananas, with the team that sold the most getting to sell for an extra hour. The winner was Rising Tiger.

G's Cheesesteaks backed out of the challenge, not wanting to sell an item they didn't like. The following day, Eat My Biscuits, Nishaan, and Burger Walla were revealed as the current bottom sellers, so a special challenge with a crucial reward was held.

  • The bottom three had 30 minutes to make Tyler an innovative dish, and the winner would earn immunity from elimination. The winner is Burger Walla.

At elimination, Nishaan was revealed as the top seller. Burger Walla had the lowest sales but were spared due to winning immunity. Ultimately, Eat My Biscuits was eliminated. However, Devin revealed that due to personal reasons, Rising Tiger would also be withdrawing from the race.

1132"Crushing Charleston"August 10, 2025 (2025-08-10)

The seven teams meet Tyler in Charleston, who was joined by the judge for the first challenge, chef Kardea Brown.

  • Teams had to give Kardea their spin on a Gullah-Geechee dish while selling for the day. They chose their dish in the order they finished last week. The best dish would earn that team $300 for their till. The winner was Fat Kid Food Co..

At Burger Walla, Kai gets frustrated that the truck has no burners, leaving them unable to prepare their challenge dish. As such, they forfeited the challenge. The next day, the teams had to find their locations – some finding spots sooner than others. G's Cheesesteaks notably struggled to find a stable area. Tyler later calls to give them their second challenge.

  • Teams would sell their take on a Lowcountry boil, with the team that sold the most dishes receiving an extra hour to sell for the day. The winner was Good Fortune Company.

After witnessing a minor road accident, the final day sees the teams together on a rainy day in nearby Folly Beach. Before they begin, however, Tyler gives a challenge with a guest judge, barbecue pitmaster Rodney Scott.

  • Teams had to make a menu item using Rodney's pulled pork. He would then taste their dishes, with the best dish having its sales doubled. The winner was 'G's Cheesesteaks, whose dish made $182, which doubled to $364.

As Nishaan is halal, they made a deal with Fat Kid Food Co. to give them their pork while getting 30% of their sales from their special. At elimination, Nishaan was the top seller for the second time, while Burger Walla was eliminated.

1143"Son of a Myrtle Beach"August 17, 2025 (2025-08-17)

The six teams meet Tyler on the sands of Myrtle Beach, where they're given their first challenge of the weekend.

  • Each team must make their version of a staple boardwalk food for Tyler. As Nishaan had won the week before, they not only chose first but also determined the other teams' selection order. This challenge had three categories with different rewards: Marketability for $100, Creativity for $200, and Best-Tasting for $300. The winner of all three categories was Fat Kid Food Co., earning them $600 for their till.

While the first day saw the teams together at Pyler Park, the second day had the teams find their own locations. Tyler later calls them to hand out their next challenge.

  • Each team had to make a savory funnel cake for their menu, with the team that sold the most funnel cakes being able to shut down a team of their choice for one hour. The winner was Fat Kid Food Co. and they shut down Cooking with Que.

At elimination, Good Fortune Company was announced as the top seller, while G's Cheesesteaks was eliminated.

1154"Wilmington Revenge"August 17, 2025 (2025-08-17)

The five teams meet Tyler in Wilmington on the banks of the Cape Fear River, where he gives them the details of their first challenge.

  • The teams would compete in side-by-side selling duels between their best-selling menu items. Whoever made the most money from their dish would get to steal the money made from their opponent's dish. As Good Fortune Company won the previous week, not only were they exempt from the challenge, but they would set up the duels: Nishaan vs. Stop Drop N Roll and Fat Kid Food Co. vs. Cooking with Que. The winners were Nishaan, who took $210 from Stop Drop N Roll, and Cooking with Que, who took $275 from Fat Kid Food Co..

Due to Wilmington's strict health codes, the teams could only prep their food in a commissary kitchen. This proves quite troublesome as both Cooking with Que and Fat Kid Food Co. forget crucial items in a rush to open. Day two sees the teams start bright and early, where, as they leave their hotel, they're greeted by Tyler and the guest judge of their next challenge, James Beard-nominated chef Lauren Krall Ivey.

  • Teams had 30 minutes to create their take on a Southern breakfast, with the winner receiving $15,000 in prize money, courtesy of Best Western. The winner was Cooking with Que.

As the teams prepare to open, health inspectors suddenly arrive. While four of the teams passed inspection, Nishaan is temporarily shut down due to running out of water. Forced to return to the commissary, they forget to lock their truck's fridge and spill a pan of food. At elimination, Good Fortune Company won their second week in a row, while Fat Kid Food Co. was eliminated.

1165"Darlington Dash"August 24, 2025 (2025-08-24)

The four teams drive into the pits of Darlington Speedway, where Tyler introduces them to the judges of their first challenge, NASCAR racer Todd Gilliland and personality Mamba Smith.

  • Teams had to make an elevated tailgate dish for Tyler, Todd, and Mamba. The team that completes their dish first would be able to shut down two teams at any time for an hour, while the team with the best-tasting dish would win $300. The winner of both components of the challenge was Stop Drop N Roll.

The teams then drive into the city of Darlington, where they're told to find their own places to sell. Cooking with Que has some organizational errors when trying to fulfill tickets, when suddenly, Stop Drop N Roll calls in. Due to their unspoken alliance, however, they instead shut down Nishaan and Good Fortune Company. On day two, everyone ends up in the town square, much to Nishaan's annoyance. As they open and begin selling, Tyler calls the frontperson of each team with a special challenge.

  • Teams have to shell a 3 lbs. bag of boiled peanuts that they would implement in an existing dish; all peanuts must be used. If a team sold out of their peanut dish, they would earn $500. This challenge was optional and could only be taken if a team's frontperson decided to. All but Stop Drop N Roll participated in the challenge, with each team selling out and winning $500.

Tempers rise as Quiana and Ari disagree on what to focus on. While this is going on, Stop Drop N Roll learn what the challenge was and begins second-guessing their decision to opt out. At elimination, Good Fortune Company won their third week in a row, while Stop Drop N Roll had the lowest sales. However, Tyler reveals this was part one of a two-part leg, and all four teams would move on, with their totals carrying over to the next city. On the way, tensions between the members of Cooking with Que reach a stress point as Ari calls her mother.

1176"Yes, Virginia, There Is a Beach"August 31, 2025 (2025-08-31)

Cooking with Que comes back together as the teams meet Tyler on the sands of Virginia Beach, during the height of the East Coast She-Crab Soup Classic. To honor the event, Tyler announces the first challenge in part two of this two-part leg.

  • Teams must turn their most popular dish into a she-crab soup-inspired special, with blue crab, especially the crab roe, as the main protein. The first team to sell $200 worth of their dish would win $300. Meanwhile, judges from the festival would taste their dishes, and the team's they liked best would win $500. Stop Drop N Roll and Good Fortune Company both won the sales challenge, splitting the prize $150 each, but Stop Drop N Roll won the taste challenge, earning the full $500.

Day two sees the teams back on the boardwalk in their own spots. Good Fortune Company and Stop N Roll pick an area near each other, much to the former's annoyance. All of the teams have slow business in each of their spots, making the teams desperate. Nishaan decides to drop their prices, while Good Fortune Company switches out who is outside to bring over any guests. Cooking with Que gets a morale boost when Ari's family stops by, and Sarah redirects customers to Stop Drop N Roll. Tyler later calls with two special challenges:

  • Teams must make a dish for Tyler utilizing the three sisterscorn, squash, and green beans. The winning team would win $900, which they would split with two other teams however they like. The winner was Nishaan, who chose to give $100 each to Cooking with Que and Good Fortune Company, giving them $700.

Tyler also announced that, in honor of World Central Kitchen's 15th anniversary, the team with the highest sales that day would have a matching donation in their name granted to the organization. Stop Drop N Roll would be the winner, with $1,116 donated to WCK in their name. At elimination, Nishaan would win their third city of the race, while Stop Drop N Roll was ultimately eliminated.
