There is another one called Hidden Restuarants ( with Michel Roux Jr ) starting next Wednesday at 8 on ITV ...

Channel 4 rather than ITV. Some info on that:

There is, according to Michel Roux Jr, a new wave of restaurants opening up in obscure and unlikely locations rather than on the high street. If you didn’t know that, it’s probably because they’re so hard to find. Inspired by this – and the dishes they create – the Michelin-starred chef has set up a simple restaurant tucked away in a Kentish oast house (just for last summer, so don’t try to book a table).

Before he devises his own menu, he visits several established hidden restaurants. There’s one built on flatbed barges floating in the middle of the River Exe, while the Radic Pavilion – serving fire-cooked feasts – looks like an alien spaceship has landed in Somerset. Several appear, shall we say, ramshackle: there’s a popular upmarket cafÃĐ housed in the old shower blocks of a north Wales caravan site, while two brothers are passionately promoting goat meat to the customers who eat at their rustic shed in the woods.

“If you build it, they will come,” the saying goes. But they’ll have to find it first.

 

Summary

Michel is joined by fellow chef Freddy Bird to tour Britain in search of secret eateries and food mavericks, as he seeks inspiration for a three-course menu for his own restaurant The Oast House. In the first episode, Michel heads to the south west of England and discovers visual feasts inside a sculpture, and visits a floating cafe only reachable by boat.

First episode is tonight at 20.00 on BBC2. Each team consists of 3 family members with one of them the boss.

 

Tonight, the Marks family from west London go up against the Charles family from Yorkshire. Will the Marks family impress the judges with their Scandinavian-inspired dishes or will the Charles' food, influenced by far-flung holidays, wow them?

 

86-year-old grandmother and former model Toren has a lust for life and rules the roost in the Marks' kitchen, but will her age-old family recipe for Swedish meatballs hit the mark? Betty is the boss in the Charles family, but will her decision to serve up a risotto to a Michelin-starred Italian chef pay off?
