Following instructions Tyler gave in Cleveland, the final two teams (Seoul Sausage and Nonna’s Kitchenette) cruise into Boston on the first leg of their “multi-city race to the finish.” In the middle of their shift, Tyler calls and tells the teams they must add a true blue New England lobster dish to their menu. Seoul Sausage’s finale strategy is straightforward: “Basically we’re going to keep the same menu,” Chris explains. “Why fix something that’s not broken?” The guys serve their crowd-pleasing kimchi rice balls plus cheesy tater tots, burgers and more. Both teams start selling immediately and draw extra-long lines of customers in no time. Two authentic lobstermen taste the dishes and award the winner a huge cash advantage and a head start … to Portland, Maine (108 miles north), where the teams will sell next. Though Captain Clark Sandler appreciates the flavor of Seoul Sausage’s lobster roll, he deems Nonna’s Kitchenette’s lobster cake to be the best dish of the day. Tyler grants them a $500 prize and the right to immediately advance to the next city, Portland, Maine. The losing team stays behind and “helps” a local restaurant. They must shuck nearly 600 pounds of clams before they can drive to the second city. When Seoul Sausage arrives in Portland, the team tracks down Nonna’s Kitchenette and parks near them. “We always do well against another truck when we’re right next to each other,” Yong explains, “so this is right up our alley.” On Sunday, the teams sell head to head in Portland, but Tyler calls again and sends them to their third and final destination: Lubec, Maine. Since Lubec is a small town with just 1600 residents, Tyler directs them to Water Street and enforces a price cap of only $2 to ensure that the teams will find business. Seoul Sausage and Nonna’s Kitchenette are able to sell for just a few hours in Lubec, but it’s those final sales that will ultimately determine the winner of the competition.
Finally, Tyler gathers the teams at the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse (the easternmost point of the United States) and collects their cash boxes. When the teams arrive, Tyler counts their money in front of them … and the winner drives away in their new food truck, along with $50,000 to get their business started. The group takes a few moments to reflect on the race before finding out who has won. Tyler announces that after a 3,559-mile journey across 15 states, Seoul Sausage has won the keys to their dream food truck and $50,000 to start their business. Ringing up $6,673, the guys outsell Nonna’s by just $103 dollars. “I don’t know how to react right now,” Chris says. “We just won The Great Food Truck Race. This was huge.”

Are you ready for the return of Jeremy Lin to the NBA basketball court? He hits training camp this week with a much younger team in the Houston Rockets. With more certainty in his basketball career this year than a year ago, Jeremy Lin has more confidence and leadership qualities that he hopes will translate on the court in assertiveness and calling plays. “It was just a lot of uncertainty (last year),” says Lin. “It’s a different feeling for sure today, knowing that I’ll be around for a little longer. I think it gives me a little more confidence to be able to be assertive and be vocal and to make plays. It’s definitely very key for me to have that confidence (to lead).”
As the 24-year-old point guard enters his third NBA season, he’s not worried about Linsanity and wants his actions on the court to speak for itself. “I’m just going to keep my focus on the court,” Lin states. “I just want to make sure I get better and I help this team get better. To be honest that’s all that I can really do. I can’t really think about all the extracurricular stuff. Being at Golden State, it was a little similar in terms of … having my picture all over different things – that never turned out the way I wanted it to so I wanted to make sure I just stay ready.” He acknowledges that he’ll be making mistakes, but will learn from them as quickly as possible. To do this, he’s been analyzing footage of himself and other good point guards and seeing where he could have made better decisions. Lin says, “Definitely I find myself in the air too much. I need to stay on the ground and not get caught in bad situations. I have to cut down on lazy passes. Coach McHale calls them “same plane” passes where it’s one spot and I just fire in a direct line; I have to use more deception and different angles. Then I just have to solidify my left hand and dribbling and keeping guys from reaching in. Those things accounted for most of my turnovers last year.” If you’re itching to was him play again, you won’t have to wait long. The NBA season starts in about a week. ou can get tickets to see Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets here.

Rapper J.Reyez dropped the single “Friend or Foe”, which talks about a break up of a friendship. Life as an entertainer can change your relationship with friends negatively. Your friend’s actions like backstabbing and trash talking behind your back can destroy the trust you once had. With new people you meet, you can’t tell if they will friends or foes, especially the haters. Is it better to not have friends or struggle with trust issues? You can get the track on .

Lyrics to Friend or Foe by J.Reyez
(verse 1)
I never meant to but every person I meet, I’m resentful
the way you carry yourself, it represents you
I apologize in advance if I offend you
I hope you understand that I have nothing against you
never intend to, just blame it on emotions
my life is so eventful but I hate it if you noticed
it’s one of those times and I need to get over it
drink it away ’til I forgot what sober is
y’all wanna be famous? and we all wanna be greater
but let me explain it, the life of an entertainer
coming from being no one, to having a bunch of haters
everyone wanna be friends but to you, they’re just strangers
if only y’all could see the disguise
it would be so great if we could see through the lies
if only y’all could really see through my eyes
every shady person I hope karma eats you alive
(chorus)
I don’t really know you and you don’t really know me
listen, we’re not friends so don’t call me your homie
I’m doing good, my life’s better without you
and I don’t really give a f*ckin’ damn about you
(verse 2)
you ever have one of those friends that you put all of your trust in
only a couple years or someone that you grew up with
and then they backstab you, acting like that sh*t was nothing
like they never really had you and then you feel disgusted
for even being friends with, someone who was pretending
anytime they needed help, your hand was there to lend it
no detection, feeling stupid to not ever suspect it
well they did a f*ckin’ good job of trickin’ just to blend in
one day they’re your bestfriend and then they’re gone in seconds
to feel a little better, tell yourself you learned a lesson
but that shit affected your life, the way you view it
listening to that music, them songs help you through it
this life is fuckin’ sinful, wishin it be more simple
now your future’s got a wall, built up with trust issues
then you realize when you’re alone, it really hits you
you got no real friends, and nobody there to miss you
(chorus)
I don’t fuckin’ know you and you don’t fuckin’ know me
listen, we’re not friends so don’t call me your homie
I’m doing good, my life’s better without you
and I don’t really give a fuckin’ damn about you
(verse 3)
the people that you meet, they all acting like they know you
like they got it figured out, but don’t know the shit we go through
I’m just a regular person, and everyday I’m working
it’s like a fuckin’ curse and they assume when I’m conversing
thinking I probably think I’m the shit and I’m too cocky
one simple little slip and they go and they name drop me
saying the fame got me, really you’re full of ignorance
you don’t fuckin’ know me, and are you really listening
to the shit you saying? sound like you really hating
like you know the facts and acting like you made a fuckin’ statement
these haters aren’t educated, just mind ya own business
you got your own life so go out and fucking live it
stop paying attention to the negatives about us
like does it really please you? and do you really doubt us?
it’s nothing to be proud of, I need some of that positive
I’m trying to do good effect lives and be causative
