Competition details
Instant restaurant round
In the instant restaurant round, each Episode focused on one team's day of cooking, setting up their instant restaurant and serving a three course dinner for the judges and their opposing teams. Teams could only start cooking three hours before the other teams arrive at their house. After the team served all three meals to the judges and their opposition, each opposing team gave them a score out of ten for the overall performance (i.e. food, service, entertainment, etc.). Then, each judge gave a score out of ten for each of the three dishes.
After all six teams from the first group had been assessed, it was revealed that the three teams who scored the lowest in each group would be facing elimination. After all six teams from the second group had been assessed, it was revealed that the teams who were facing elimination had to do another round of instant restaurant. After all six teams involved had been assessed, the team who scored the lowest would be eliminated from the show.
