S02:E01 - Episode 1
It's state versus state, plate against plate, as 12 teams-of-two from NSW, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland and, for the first time, Tasmania all come together for the very first time. Contestants are divided into two groups of six teams per group (one state team represented per group) for Round 1 of the competition. ROUND 1 (with group1) begins. Our cooking teams each take turns to transform an ordinary home into an instant restaurant for one pressure-cooker night. They‟ll serve up a three-course menu designed to impress not only their fellow contestants but our esteemed judges, PETE EVANS and MANU FEILDEL. At the end of each evening all teams and the judges will score the meal out of 10. Once all teams have cooked the lowest scoring team will face elimination. Tonight, it is Queensland‟s turn as butchers and good mates ARTIE & JOHNNY devise and prepare their own three-course menu. There will be thrills and spills as they battle the clock and their nerves to plate up on time. Let the flames begin!
