David's food truck offers many other options like the 'Fried Chicken Alfredo Tacos' and the 'Cheese Steak Egg Rolls'.

Next, James heads to 'Da Burger Shack', a food truck known for their giant and juicy burgers. James meets with owner Christopher Phoenix, who explains that they don't just make any ordinary burger, but a 'foodgasam'-- a burger that will make you experience an orgasm through your taste buds. One dish that catches James's eye is the 'Bacon-maple milkshake' which is topped with crispy strips of bacon. Furthermore, they offer an Americanized version of a classic Jamaican dish: 'Oxtail Mac and Cheese'.

For the third stop on the Miami food truck tour, James visits the 'HipPOPs Handcrafted Gelato Bars' truck. The concept is simple, HipPOPs offers healthy, delicious, custom-made ice cream bars that are perfect for any event or craving.

These cold treats are offered in unique flavors, including Nutella, dulce de leche, chocolate mint, peanut butter, and much more.

Later, in the episode, James visits the 'Mr. Bing' food truck, which offers an Asian twist on a Latin American dessert called 'lechon asado'.

The traditional ball of ice is replaced with an Asian shaved ice, and topped with fresh tropical fruits and a drizzle of condensed milk. James makes sure to try different flavors like strawberry, pineapple, watermelon, and durian.

The final stop on the Miami Mia tour is the 'Jefe's Original Fish Taco & Burgers' food truck, which offers a unique menu that combines seafood with burgers made from scratch. James catches up with owner Jack Garabedian who talks about how Jefe's is a tribute to his mother’s homemade cooking.

One signature dish, the 'Shrimp Burger' which is made using a juicy shrimp patty, along with avocado and pico de gallo.
