“Come Dine With Me” marks two decades of dinner party disasters and culinary calamities with a fresh batch of hopefuls, each eager to pocket the £1000 prize. In Plymouth, musician and teacher Steve takes center stage, armed with a “Thairish” menu—a fusion of Thai and Irish cuisine. Will this unique culinary gamble pay off, or will it leave his guests yearning for a good old-fashioned Sunday roast?
Steve’s potato-heavy offerings face immediate resistance from guest Katie, and his specially crafted vegan dessert for Slain doesn’t escape critical scrutiny. Lea’s chopstick skills (or lack thereof) are put to the test with a plate of Asian prawns, while Nina appears delighted by a garden performance courtesy of Steve’s folk band.
From the looks of it, this episode might just strike the right chord with the “Come Dine With Me” faithful: quirky personalities, questionable culinary choices, and the ever-present potential for social meltdown. Will Steve’s eclectic approach charm his guests, or will his “Thairish” fusion fall flat?
“Come Dine With Me” airs Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at 17:30 on Channel 4.
