This was the first food-based programme I've seen in years that offered something new and zeitgeisty. Go to Full Review Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) 07/25/2019

What pulled the rug from under Million Pound Menu was that it felt about as zeitgeist-y as doing the Macarena. Go to Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian 07/25/2019

It's great. Interesting subject, new restaurants -- zeitgeisty even. And they're good, the restaurants and restaurateurs, however Cuban or not they are. Go to Full Review David Butcher Radio Times 07/30/2019

2/5
Fast food, world food, health food, comfort food - it doesn't matter. This show is all about taking quirky restaurant ideas and sucking the originality out of them till you're left with nothing but pap fit for motorway services. Go to Full Review Matt Baylis Daily Express (UK) 07/25/2019

02/09/2022 While I would recommend this as a new and fresh idea bringing seasoned food critics and financial backers together with young entrepreneurs, some of the final choices were a surprise. Everyone wants to be a chef today, but really good food isn't always plate-gorgeous. My biggest concern throughout all episodes is that many cooks and wait staff look relatively grungy and you wonder, as you always do about restaurant kitchens, is how clean are they?
