My Restaurant Rules is an Australian reality television series that aired on the Seven Network. However, no new series of the show materialised during the year.
They were unable to sell the restaurant due to a clause in a contract they signed, and the cost of moving the restaurant to another location was too high, so Room Nineteen closed its doors in June 2005. In contrast, the series two winning restaurant The Greedy Goose continued to stay in business for several years after the show. The show is presented by Rani De Coninck.
Moreover, some eliminated restaurants managed to re-open at new locations. The first series of My Restaurant Rules aired in 2004 and featured the following restaurants and couples: In the series finale, Perth s Room Nineteen and owners Ash and Amanda were declared the winners, beating Peter and Tayissa of Melbourne s Seven Stones. Series one was hosted by chef Curtis Stone. The second series of My Restaurant Rules aired in 2005 and initially featured the following restaurants and couples: Later, Dan and Rob were eliminated, surrendering their restaurant to new contestants, Nathan and Georgia, who renamed the restaurant Whisk. Five couples started their own restaurant in Leuven, Gent, Hasselt, Antwerpen or Oostende.
Leuven won this season. vtm started broadcasting the second season of Mijn Restaurant ( My Restaurant ) on March 3, 2009. This process continues until a single competing restaurant remains. Despite the process of elimination that sees almost all competing restaurants shut down, it is interesting to note that every single restaurant featured in the programme was successful and operated in the black.
The show is still on the run. The first season of Mijn Tent is Top (My Shed is Best) started on January 18, 2007. They also compete for additional money that can be used for renovation from a panel of judges based on a presentation of their mission statement and plan for their proposed restaurant.
In the series finale, Adelaide s The Greedy Goose and owners John and Justine were declared the winners, beating Evan and Bella of Sydney s Pink Salt. In 2006, this series aired in New Zealand on TV2 at a weeknight pre-primetime slot (5:30PM), compared to the first series where it aired in a daytime slot. The second series was hosted by then former Australian Idol judge Ian Dicko Dickson. In late 2005, Seven announced in their Seven In 2006 brief on their corporate site that they were developing new episodes of My Restaurant Rules to broadcast sometime in 2006. The series premiered on VOX with five couples from Munich, Cologne, Berlin, Hamburg and Leipzig.
The nominated restaurants then compete for votes from a phone poll, with the victor moving on and the loser being forced to shut down. The format also airs in the United Kingdom Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, New Zealand and Germany. The series pits five couples, one each from Australia s five largest cities, to compete against each other in opening a successful restaurant. In initial episodes of the show the couples are given a vacated restaurant space in their home city that must be renovated.
When Seven released their Seven in 2007 brief in late 2006, My Restaurant Rules was not mentioned at all. In early 2005, series one contestants Ash and Amanda of Room Nineteen discovered that the site that had been allocated to them by Seven was booked to be demolished in December of that year. The Munich team from the Grinsekatze restaurant won the first season contest. .
The winners of the first season was Coquille in Den Bosch. This may be because of the exposure the restaurants are given via the show.
A group of couples compete for the chance to set up a restaurant financially backed and personally supported by French chef Raymond Blanc. The jury consists of the famous Belgian chef Peter Goossens, the head editor of the culinary magazine Ambiance Dirk De Prins and the General Manager of a hotel Christel Cabanier.
The judges also make further appearances later on in the series in both critiquing the restaurants and offering rewards to the contestants. After a number of weeks the elimination process begins in which the restaurants (and their owners) are reviewed and judged for nomination. The poor performance of the second restaurant (focusing on gourmet hamburgers) and the harsh economic times put the winning couple into a position they couldn t recover from. In addition, despite Sydney s defeat in series two, contestants Evan and Bella of Pink Salt opened a new restaurant (under the same name) on 22 March 2006, at a new location in Double Bay from the original suburb of Manly.
The second season was aired in 2008 and Flinstering in Breda was the big winner.
