Overview edit
Two teams (Capsicum and Tomato), consisting each of a professional chef and an audience member compete against each other, both trying to create the best entrée, meal and dessert in a 20-minute time limit.[7] The final segment sees both opposing chefs teaming up to prepare a dish in a strict time limit.
