A loud and proud Italian family from New York takes on a Filipino-American family from Utah. The matriarch of the Cipriano family claims that she taught her son everything he knows, and he and his fiancee own an acclaimed pizza food truck on Long Island. The Gollahers are a young married couple who operate a food truck in Salt Lake City, with her Filipino mom as their chef. Host Valerie Bertinelli challenges the two teams to make a Mother's Day meal that represents Mom, an elevated childhood favorite and a fried family favorite, while judges Clinton Kelly, Courtney Rada and Jet Tila decide which team does Mom proud.
