Competition details

Instant restaurant

In the instant restaurant round, each episode focused on one team's day of shopping, cooking, hosting and serving opposing teams and judges a three-course dinner. (Entrée, Main and Dessert). All teams give their 'instant restaurant' a name and theme, and will need to decorate the room/space and table setting to match that theme. Teams may only start cooking three hours before the other teams arrive at their house. After the team served all three meals to the judges and their opposition, each team gave them a score out of ten for the overall performance (i.e. food, service, entertainment, etc.). Afterwards, each judge gave a score out of ten for each of the three dishes, totalling a highest possible score of 100 (40 from guest teams and 60 from judges)

Description — The first five teams are introduced to the competition in the first round of Instant restaurants. One team was represented a state or territory. After all five teams have cooked, an elimination was held at the end of the final restaurant. The lowest scoring team was eliminated.
