Great Food Truck Race 2014 Recap: Week 6 – Who Got Eliminated?

Things are getting down to the wire for the final three teams on The Great Food Truck Race Season 5, as they head to Alabama and will be fighting for a spot in the finale and a chance to be named the winner of The Great Food Truck Race 2014! They’ll face local delicacies, brunch and the pressure of making the finale, but it will be a fun ride! Check it out with us during our Great Food Truck Race 2014 Recap tonight and see who went home on Great Food Truck Race 2014 tonight!

The final four teams headed to St. Louis last week on Great Food Truck Race Season 5 and the big topic of the week was price. Lone Star Chuck Wagon decided to raise their prices and thought people would pay more for the food, which was true. They did pay for it and ended up as the highest-grossing truck for the weekend. Beach Cruiser tried raising their prices, but did not feel comfortable with the higher prices and lowered them as the day went on. Oddly, they had the lowest till for the weekend and were sent home! Tonight one of the teams will face sub-zero temperatures, but will walk away with over 100 pounds of FREE shrimp!

Here we go…the final three teams are arriving in Mobile, Alabama. They meet up with Tyler Florence and he said this is the heart of shrimping country! He said this week is about cooking locally. They will have to add three seafood dishes to their menus this weekend. They will get $400 of seed money this week. They get a special challenge, as they will go into a freezer and try to pick out 100 pounds of shrimp. The team closest to 100 pounds will get to keep their shrimp for free! The losing teams will pay for it!

The teams head to the freezer and get the shrimp they think is 100 pounds. Lone Star Chuck Wagon has 77 pounds. Middle Feast has 49 pounds, so they are out! Let There Be Bacon has 55 pounds, so Lone Star wins and gets to keep all 77 pounds of shrimp for free. Middle Feast passes on buying any of the shrimp and Bacon buys 15 pounds.

The teams go shopping for their food and then head out to get their spots. Bacon has their spot and already has a huge line as they prep their food. Lone Star is partnering with a bar and thinks they have the best spot in Mobile. However, they are going to have more prep time with all this shrimp! Middle Feast is parked right in between Lone Star and Bacon, so they can check out their competition.

Bacon is still prepping and losing people in line as they prep their shrimp. Matt is going crazy with the people leaving their line and heading to Middle Feast and he starts having a panic attack and is shaking and sweating big time. He gets his bearings and heads out to sing their theme song. It may have taken two hours to get their prep done, but they start and food is going out well.

Tyler comes in and tells the teams that they have a brunch cooking challenge in the morning. The best two teams will move on to a seafood cooking challenge at night and the winner will get $1,000! They close up shops for the night and get ready for a big day the next day on Great Food Truck Race 2014!

The next day arrives and Middle Feast opens right away while Bacon still preps and Lone Star went out shopping for their brunch item and felt confident, so they got their seafood challenge ingredients also. They come back and have the grouper priced at $40! Who would go to a food truck and pay $40 for a dish??? Come to find out, but they never went back and picked up the grouper and have none to sell. They sell tilapia instead, which is priced for $30. Am I insane for thinking that is way too expensive?

Tyler had random customers buy the brunch from each truck and meet him with it, so the teams had no idea who came for their brunch challenge on The Great Food Truck Race Season 5. Tyler ate the dishes with the customers and got some feedback from them.

Middle Feast is running out of some items, so they are just cutting things out of their menu instead of going shopping. They only have two items to sell, but going to give it a shot. Bacon runs out of bacon, so they close up shop and head out to get more. The store they go to is closed, so now they have to run out and go to another store further away. Time management is not on their side this week.

Tyler calls the teams and tells them he snuck in some secret shoppers to get their brunch dishes and not get any special treatment. He tells them to shut down their trucks and head over to meet him to find out the two best dishes. Bacon just got back with their shrimp and had a big line, but they must leave them!

The teams meet Tyler and the two teams moving on for the Seafood Challenge is Bacon and Lone Star. They will take part in the Seafood Challenge and be judged on creativity, presentation and taste. They have 20 minutes to cook it. They both cook their dish and feel good about it, but both feeling the pressure.

TASTING:

• Let There Be Bacon – They say it feels kind of messy and is not a refined dish. They have a spike of heat and shrimp is cooked nice.
• Lone Star Chuck Wagon – They said it looks visually appealing and fish is flaking good, but it is salty.

RESULTS: Tyler said, as a chef, it is all about the food. Lone Star over-seasoned their fish, so Bacon is the winner and gets to win $1,000 to their till!

The teams are all done for the weekend and they are all worried about which two teams will make the finale!

RESULTS: Tyler said the three teams made $24,960 for the weekend!!! That is insane. Here are the numbers for the weekend:

• First Place with $10,058 is Middle Feast
• Third Place with $582 difference is Let There Be Bacon and they are eliminated! That means Lone Star Chuck Wagon heads to the finale next week, as well.
