3 team race from the start IMO. The Korean sausage truck is the clear cut number 1 seed followed by the Pizza guys and a my darkhorse is the team from Australia.

Seoul Sausage did give me a strong Korilla vibe, including their success

The Aussie babes were attractive, but they couldn't compete. Not a whole lot memorable from this episode, I guess, other than throwing cactus on an existing dish isn't going to get it done.

Yeah, especially since they were cooking with pasta (something made with eggs) during a vegan challenge. Thought it was interesting that they showed how each truck was adapting to the challenge and then glossed over the Alaska truck and made no mention of them using allowable ingredients.

I didn't notice the pasta. I was curious how the waffle guys were making them without eggs.

I like the Seoul guys, reminds me of Korilla who I also liked even though they cheated when they didn't need to lol

They must have. No way they'd let that slide; using the wrong pasta would have created some juicy TV drama.

Seoul Sausage keeps rolling. I have to admit I was a little slow on the uptake, thinking "Why do they have to put the boot on when they already told them that they can't move?"
Pizza Mike's should have served pizza at the ballgame.

I'll pulling for Seoul Sausage....they're pretty likable, kind of like Korilla, just not as cocky. Hopefully they learned not to put an extra grand in their kitty too!

I don't think Atlanta or Pop Waff's menus are diverse enough to win. Waffle tries to adapt, but I think waffles only can go so far. Atlanta just can't adapt. They think they have a leg up since they are trained, but both Nonna's and Seoul are outpacing them in both sales and adaptability.

I find the waffle guys sort of off-putting. They're way too enthusiastic about fucking waffles. The one guy with the waxed mustache is always running around waving flags and screaming about waffles, and it just looks weird.

Somebody needs to tell Tyler that he's on TV because he looks like a homeless guy with that ridiculous stubble.
The small town episodes are fun once in a while, but do they really need another one back-to-back (in AR). Every time they do one all the teams make a bunch of money because their locations are pretty much determined.

Waffle boys blowing the breakfast challenge
I wonder if these kinds of shows ever draw the line at product placement. I'm sure 5-Hour Energy would have supported a placement during the early-morning challenge.

Such a boring episode, find it funny that the Jersey girls think Seoul Sausage should be worried because they beat them by a few dollars even with a $750 bonus.
Only 3 episodes left and they have quite a bit of miles left to drive, Nashville->Cleveland->NE coast is a long trip.

No way Seoul Sausage doesn't win unless the ending isn't decided by most earned. The food is different enough to make people interested and the guys all seem personable. The food from Nonna's is too conventional. Even if it's good, Italian-American food isn't unique enough to take the win.

The thing that really bugs me about The Food Truck Race is the way they handicap the trucks. That's fine a normal competition, but here they're trying to sell things.
If the Food Truck Race came to where I live, if I'm going to go spend money on food from one of these trucks, I want to buy the food they've spent a lot of time perfecting. I don't want to buy a vegan meal from a truck that specializes in barbecue. I don't want a fucking Pop Rock Cheeseburger with Pop Rock fries. Seriously, fuck you.
