The ultimate culinary challenge for Britain's top chefs. Two chefs go head-to-head buying food, preparing dishes and selling them to diners at some of the country's most diverse and high-end restaurants. Selling more dishes than their rival and winning the competition has never been more important. The chefs putting their own money and reputations on the line are John Burton-Race, Nick Nairn, Gino D'Acampo, Aldo Zilli, James Tanner, Paul Rankin, Ed Baines, Atul Kochhar, Richard Phillips and Galton Blackiston. Nick Nairn and Aldo Zilli square up to each other as they take on the challenge of cooking for regulars at a top London gastro-pub. The chefs must devise the most tempting and cost friendly menu for a pub full of hungry diners. They will be going head-to-head with one starter, one main course and one dessert each. Whoever makes the most profit will win. Who knows how to sell to a pub crowd and who will need to drown their sorrows?
