My Kitchen Rules has announced a few key details ahead of ir’s launch in two weeks but the schedule remains a mystery.
Manu Feildel and Pete Evans return to host and judge this ultimate home cooking battle. And this year, they’re bringing some big surprises to the table. The MKR Food Truck, a massive red transformer style semi-trailer decked out with a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, is just one of the twists the contestants won’t see coming.
It’s going to be one of the toughest challenges MKR contestants have ever faced. It’s going to push even the best cooks to breaking point. In a competition first, there will be more instant restaurants than ever before.
The judges table will see the return of familiar faces, guest judges Colin Fassnidge, Guy Grossi, Karen Martini and Liz Egan.
The top two teams will again battle it out in the grand final where they will present their dining menu to a full restaurant. With $250,000 in prize money on offer, it’s a fierce battle to decide whose kitchen rules.
