Five Star Kitchen: Britain’s Next Great Chef: Premiere airs Thursday 8 June 2023 on Channel 4.
How difficult is it to get a restaurant accepted into one of the most prestigious hotels in the world? Thirteen aspiring chefs compete for the opportunity to showcase their talents in the Palm Court restaurant at London’s prestigious Langham hotel in this brand-new, high-stakes competition.
The competition is held within the hotel, and esteemed chef and Langham employee Michel Roux Jr. serves as a judge. Ravneet Gill, a consultant and pastry master, and Mike Reid, a prominent figure in the international restaurant industry, are working alongside him. The chefs take on a variety of epic challenges to ensure they have the skills necessary to succeed in the elite world of five-star dining, from elaborate banquets to late-night room service to an exclusive chef’s table and the Langham’s busy lunch service.
They need to demonstrate not only that they can serve food worthy of a five-star rating, but also that they can run a successful restaurant. Who among us has the steely resolve, dogged perseverance, and savvy business sense to make it as a top chef?
In this episode, the judges must choose between the many talented chefs who have gathered at The Langham to present their restaurant concepts to Michel and his team. The chefs need to show they can cook like the best in the world, come up with a signature dish that exemplifies their concept for a restaurant, and have the personality traits necessary to make it as a Head Chef at the highest levels of the culinary industry.
The heat is on, and things are starting to boil over in the kitchen. Who among the chefs will be sent into a death match?
