On Wednesday 6th of January at 9pm on Channel 4, Patria of Simply Thai is back on The F Word and this time she is competing for a place in The Best Local Restaurant Competition Final...
Simply Thai will be competing against winners from the British food category, The Pheasant, and the Rest of the World category, Greek restaurant Retsina.
All three restaurants will be giving their all, competing for the chance to cook in the grand final at the F Word restaurant. Over the course of an action-packed hour of mouth-watering entertainment, Gordon will put the restaurants through a gruelling series of tests to determine who's really got what it takes to hit the big time in the restaurant world.
The chefs will be pushed to breaking point as plate after plate of delicious food is ruthlessly scrutinised. First, secret diners will visit each restaurant and hidden cameras will help Gordon decide which should be the first restaurant to be eliminated.
Then Gordon will turn up the heat on the two remaining restaurants by descending on them with a coach full of demanding diners. Finally, he’ll throw the restaurants into the toughest culinary environment of all: he’ll invite them to his flagship 3 Michelin starred restaurant, Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea, and challenge them to cook the dish of their lives for a group of specially invited guests.
Ego, pride and reputation - for the chefs, owners and their friends and family, everything is on the line. Only one restaurant will can go through – who will Gordon pick for Thursday night’s grand final?
