There is much to prove with this dish, as the judges want to see that the chefs can produce sophisticated and innovative food. 

Then the chefs cook for two of the UK’s toughest restaurant critics, Grace Dent and Jay Rayner. They have one hour and 15 minutes to wow the judges with a two-course menu that’s memorable for all the right reasons.
