Ep 5. Instant Restaurant - Round 1: David & Scott

Instant Restaurant - Round 1: David & Scott is the fifth episode of season three of My Kitchen Rules, a popular cooking show where contestants compete in teams to impress judges and fellow competitors with their culinary skills. In this episode, two of the contestants, David and Scott, host their own instant restaurant at their home and serve a three-course meal to the rest of the contestants and judges, Manu Feildel and Pete Evans.

The pressure is on for David and Scott to impress the judges, who have high expectations for the first round of instant restaurants. The contestants are given a budget to shop for ingredients and prepare their dishes, but they must also take care of the overall theme and atmosphere of their restaurant. David and Scott opt for a 'Surf and Turf' theme and decorate their home with sea-themed details.

As the guests arrive, tensions and nerves are high, but David and Scott manage to keep their cool and welcome everyone with drinks and appetizers. They start the meal with a fennel and pea soup, which receives mixed reviews from the judges and guests. The main dish, a fillet of beef with prawns and a side of seaweed salad, is better received, particularly by Manu, who praises the flavors and presentation. However, some of the guests complain about the portion size and lack of sides.

For dessert, David and Scott serve a passionfruit semifreddo, which wows the judges with its light texture and balanced flavors. Despite some minor critiques from the guests, David and Scott are pleased with how their restaurant turned out and eagerly await the judges' verdict.

At the end of the night, Manu and Pete provide their scores and feedback to David and Scott. While they praise the high points of the meal, the judges also point out the areas for improvement and offer helpful critiques for the future. David and Scott are relieved to have successfully completed their instant restaurant and are ready to move forward in the competition.

Overall, Instant Restaurant - Round 1: David & Scott is a tense but exciting episode of My Kitchen Rules, showcasing the contestants' creativity and culinary skills as they compete for a chance to win the grand prize.
