The Hotplate
The Hotplate was an Australian cooking reality television series which aired on the Nine Network on 28 July 2015. The show consisted of state-based restaurants with teams travelling the country to dine in and score each other's restaurants. The restaurants were judged by British food writer and critic, Tom Parker Bowles and Melbourne restaurateur, Scott Pickett. The show pit six established suburban restaurants against each other all striving for a leg up in the industry—and an extra $100,000 in the bank, Sydney's Guillaume Brahimi, the French-born chef, appeared as a special guest judge during all elimination episodes.
Only one season of the program has been produced, following legal action from the Seven Network claiming the format is too similar to its own program My Kitchen Rules. Nine and Seven reached a settlement in which Nine agreed that no further seasons would be produced, and the inaugural season would never be replayed.
Local restaurant heroes from around the country will do battle over dinner, they will be judged on all aspects of the restaurant experience. The worst performing teams will face elimination. The winner of the competition will receive $100,000 prize and realise their food dream.
Each team has 3 hours to prep their food they are cooking. The teams and judges decide what they want to eat from their menu. Two entrees, mains and desserts are chosen. The teams score the team out of 10 for a whole score out of 50, the judges score the food and restaurant experience (separately out of 10) for a score out of 20 (score of 40 together).[citation needed]
The 2 teams will cook 3 meals (like in the private dinners) over a 3-hour period, they must use 3 main ingredients but cooked to their style of cooking. The judges are joined by a special judge, Guillaume Brahimi, to judge the food. The over teams eat the food but do not judge it, the 2 teams are not given points but are only judge on how each meal tastes.[citation needed]
Each team has $20,000 each to renovate their restaurant within 72 hours. Their menus will have a makeover, they are given 3 new recipes which they have to put their food style into. They must deliver 3 dishes (same as the private dinners), each team are judged out of 100.
Each team have to serve not only the other teams and judges' but also the general public, they will be judged be the general public. They will get help from their staff. Similar to the private dinners, each team will serve 2 different entrèes, mains & desserts. The eliminated teams will sit in with the public and score the overall experience.
