In season 15 episode 3 of The Great Food Truck Race, titled "No Time to Swap," the remaining six teams find themselves in Cleveland, Ohio, ready to tackle their next challenge. Host Tyler Florence informs the teams that they must completely revamp their menus in just three hours, using only locally sourced ingredients. This twist catches some teams off guard, as they had planned to keep some of their signature dishes from previous challenges.
The teams split up to scour Cleveland for the best ingredients, with many of them heading to the West Side Market to select their produce and meats. They then race back to their trucks to start cooking, but the pressure is on as they only have three hours to completely change their menus. Many teams struggle with coming up with new recipes on the fly, while others excel at working under pressure.
Next, the teams must hit the streets of Cleveland to sell their revamped menus to the locals. They are put in three separate locations, with two teams stationed at each spot. This adds another layer of challenge, as the teams must compete not only with each other, but also with the other teams stationed at their location. They must come up with creative ways to draw in customers and sell their new dishes.
As the day wears on, tensions rise and mistakes are made. Some teams struggle to keep up with demand, while others have trouble selling their new items. One team in particular has a disastrous day, with several mishaps leading to a very low sales total. This puts them in danger of elimination at the end of the challenge.
At the end of the day, the teams gather at the judging table to hear the results. One team is declared the winner, having sold the most dishes and earning a cash prize. Another team is declared safe from elimination, while the remaining four teams are in danger of going home. They must face a final challenge, with one team ultimately being sent home.
Overall, "No Time to Swap" is a fast-paced and exciting episode of The Great Food Truck Race. The twist of having to completely revamp their menus adds a new level of difficulty for the contestants, and watching them scramble to come up with new recipes is both entertaining and nerve-wracking. The addition of multiple selling locations also adds an interesting twist to the challenge, as the teams must compete not only with each other, but also with their own teammates. The stakes are high, and the tension is palpable as the teams fight to stay in the competition.
