Those most at risk will present their dishes in “grand service” where they must impress the customers who are the most demanding judges. The least successful participant will unfortunately leave the kitchen Restaurant.
Candidates must stand out throughout the competition and demonstrate that they have all the necessary qualifications to become the next successful restaurateur.
