In Sheffield, Sicilian restaurant Bella Donna kick off the competition with head chef Monica and front of house manager Katrina cooking up some serious seafood and breaded beef.
Messy eaters Fraser and Karine who run American smokehouse Backyard BBQ get stuck in and shock the table with some ketchup revelations, while trendy Harry and Yav from Mexican restaurant Piña reveal that Yav isn’t a stranger to eating insects.
Day two sees Fraser and Karine try to impress their guests with their popular BBQ sampler platter with all the trimmings. However, will the table be able to handle this meaty feast of plenteous portions?
Finally it’s the turn of Piña to show how to do it Mexican style. Sensitive eater Karine struggles with the spice while barbecuer Fraser lives up to his reputation of getting messy at the dinner table.
Everyone is amazed by the Mexican flavours and they all hit the dancefloor after dessert in true Piña style. But will all this be enough to win the week and pocket the £1,000 prize money?
Tune in to find out.
