0:00:02 > 0:00:04'Britain's top chefs...'
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- Yee-ha! - '..are up against each other...'
0:00:07 > 0:00:10- This will be a good battle. - '..to see who can make the most money
0:00:10 > 0:00:14'from creating fabulous food for the great British public!'
0:00:14 > 0:00:15It's all about making money.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19'Our award-winning chefs will put their reputations on the line...'
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Help me!
0:00:21 > 0:00:24'..as they are challenged to produce a three-course meal...'
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- Yes! - '..for a room full of diners.'
0:00:27 > 0:00:30- We can't have customers waiting! - We want beef!
0:00:30 > 0:00:31- Perfect. - Wow.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35'They'll be working in kitchens they've never seen before,...'
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- This is impossible! - '..with a limited budget...'
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- You've got to go lower. - '..and up against the deadline of service.'
0:00:42 > 0:00:44That took for ever to cook.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48'But the big question is - who will make the most money and win?'
0:00:48 > 0:00:51We came, we saw, we conquered.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56'Today's culinary clash is going to be the one they all dread.'
0:00:56 > 0:00:59'Coming up, it's a case of beauty versus the beast...'
0:00:59 > 0:01:04- Ooh, you beast, you. - I love it when she calls me a beast.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07'And one chef has to really set his stall out.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I am... I am quite a famous chef.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13'But whose delightful dishes will the customers prefer?'
0:01:13 > 0:01:18'Chefs - put your menu where your mouth is!'
0:01:42 > 0:01:46'Yes, welcome, friends, food lovers, sports fans.'
0:01:46 > 0:01:50'It's time once again to take your seaside, ringside seat
0:01:50 > 0:01:53'at the cook-off that ends all cook-offs.'
0:01:53 > 0:01:56'Two of our most treasured chefs
0:01:56 > 0:01:59'are putting their well-earned reputations on the line
0:01:59 > 0:02:01'as they fight for culinary supremacy.'
0:02:01 > 0:02:04'Why do they do it? Because they can.'
0:02:04 > 0:02:07'Who do they do it for? They do it for you.'
0:02:07 > 0:02:10'First to pop his neck on the block
0:02:10 > 0:02:15'is a chef who changed the face of the Belfast cooking scene.'
0:02:15 > 0:02:18'He's been known to juggle up to 16 of his own restaurants
0:02:18 > 0:02:20'and get a Michelin star as well.'
0:02:20 > 0:02:23'Hold on to your hats, ladies,
0:02:23 > 0:02:24'it's Paul Rankin!'
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Any chef that wants to beat me better be on top of their game.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I always want to do well.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35'And facing up to Paul today is the most charming female cook
0:02:35 > 0:02:37'you could ever wish to grace a kitchen.'
0:02:37 > 0:02:40'One of the country's best-loved cookery teachers,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44'she's run restaurants at home and abroad, she's a writer,
0:02:44 > 0:02:49'a businesswoman, a lover of all that's decent and right on a plate.'
0:02:49 > 0:02:52'Fighting today out of rural West Dorset,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55'it's Lesley Waters!'
0:02:55 > 0:02:58My philosophy is three things.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Number one - use the best-quality ingredients you can.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Number two - keep it simple.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07And - number 3 - have a passion for what you cook, enjoy it.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11'Well, boy, are our two chefs in for a shock today,
0:03:11 > 0:03:15'as the battleground for this cook-off is a mass catering event.'
0:03:15 > 0:03:20'Yes, it's the annual Brighton and Hove Food and Drink Festival
0:03:20 > 0:03:24'only the largest festival of its kind in the South of England!'
0:03:24 > 0:03:28'37,000 visitors have been known to turn up over a weekend
0:03:28 > 0:03:31'for the food demonstrations, the produce stalls
0:03:31 > 0:03:33'and the food stands
0:03:33 > 0:03:37'and that's exactly what our two chefs will be running today.'
0:03:37 > 0:03:40'With a budget of just £500 each,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43'they will have to seek out their ingredients,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46'come up with three different dishes - a meat dish,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50'a vegetarian option and a pudding that'll be served at the same time.'
0:03:50 > 0:03:54'They will have to cook for hundreds of starving festival-goers.'
0:03:54 > 0:03:57'The chef that makes the most profit will be the winner.'
0:03:57 > 0:03:59'And all the profits go to charity.'
0:03:59 > 0:04:02'So, Lesley Waters and Paul Rankin,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06'it's time to put your menu where your mouth is!'
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'm feeling numb because I don't do this sort of thing.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- I don't do cooking for thousands. - No neither do I.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Also, they're going to be foodies,
0:04:15 > 0:04:20so they're gonna be expecting us to turn out something really special.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- It's not hot dogs and burgers. - We've only got 500 quid.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Good luck, mate.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28'Yes, they are saying "good luck",
0:04:28 > 0:04:32'but really they want the other one to go down in tatters in flames -
0:04:32 > 0:04:36'because, let's face it, no-one wants to be branded a loser!'
0:04:36 > 0:04:38'So, what's the winning strategy?'
0:04:38 > 0:04:44I'm thinking street food, you know, but street food, but smells great,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46looks great, it's attractive.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48If I was going to a food festival,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I wouldn't want to eat posh food. You're out and about, a day out,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55so you want to eat something that's interesting.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59'There you go, then - Paul is going for something "interesting"
0:04:59 > 0:05:02'and Lesley is thinking something a bit more "street".'
0:05:02 > 0:05:05'Remember, they have to provide three dishes -
0:05:05 > 0:05:07'a meat, a vegetarian and a sweet dish.'
0:05:07 > 0:05:11'So how will their strategies translate into a menu?'
0:05:11 > 0:05:13'We'll start with the meat dish. Paul?'
0:05:13 > 0:05:16My mind's going towards Asian things.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20So sort of zippy sort of Thai, Vietnamese flavours,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23and yet I want to put a substantial piece of meat in it,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25so I'm thinking pork belly.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28'Paul's slow-cooked five-spice pork belly
0:05:28 > 0:05:30'will be served as a warm salad
0:05:30 > 0:05:34'with mango, pickled ginger and Thai glass noodles.'
0:05:34 > 0:05:37'That should get the festival foodies salivating.'
0:05:37 > 0:05:41'So what has Lesley got in her arsenal that could counter that?'
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I'm going to go with strips of chicken, char-grilled,
0:05:44 > 0:05:50and then, on the side, a nice scoop of home-made sort of hummus sauce.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53'Lesley's chargrilled honey-and-mustard chicken
0:05:53 > 0:05:56'will come with an avocado-and-tomato salsa
0:05:56 > 0:05:59'and warm pitta bread.'
0:05:59 > 0:06:02'Looks fabulous. In fact, they both look fabulous.'
0:06:02 > 0:06:04'So which one would you choose?'
0:06:04 > 0:06:08'Before they get cooking, they have to go and get their ingredients.'
0:06:08 > 0:06:12'Remember, this competition is all about who makes the most profit,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16'so getting good deals is all part of the game play.'
0:06:16 > 0:06:20'Paul went to a local cash-and-carry in search of his pork.'
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- So what's the price for pork belly? - I can go down to about 1.55, 1.60 a kilo for you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Well, 1.55 sounds better than 1.60.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31As it's a food festival for Brighton, absolutely.
0:06:31 > 0:06:351.55. That sounds like a good deal. That's a deal, then, definitely.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40'That's an incredible deal and puts Paul into pole position.'
0:06:40 > 0:06:44'Lesley struggled to find the amount of chicken she needs at the shops
0:06:44 > 0:06:48'and had to resort to phoning around to find the cheapest supplier.'
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I've managed to find some British free-range chicken,
0:06:52 > 0:06:58but it's only 20 kilograms and I'm now about to ring the manager.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Hi, John, it's Lesley Walters.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I'm after your chicken breasts.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I'm on a bit of a budget and I just wondered
0:07:07 > 0:07:09what is the best you can do for me?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I can have 20 kilos for £100, yeah?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17All right, well, you've got a deal, John. See you soon, bye.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19'So both chefs are fully loaded for round one,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22'although buying the food was the easy bit.'
0:07:22 > 0:07:26'Cooking it for hundreds of customers is a different ball game,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28'especially when you are in a makeshift kitchen
0:07:28 > 0:07:32'and it's going to be tight in there, guys, so no bickering.'
0:07:32 > 0:07:34'Oh, too late!'
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- I'm doing noodles. - I'm kind of doing noodles!
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- A sort of salady thing... - I'm doing a salady thing!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43What if everyone else does the same?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46'Each chef will have a hired-in helper
0:07:46 > 0:07:49'who will be on hand to assist them in every way.'
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Do you know what you've let yourself in for?- We think so.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Are you going to be doing the washing-up?- That's it.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- I'm doing the washing-up. - You are?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Richard's doing all the cooking.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03'Right, then, the secret to successful mass catering
0:08:03 > 0:08:05'is planning and forethought.'
0:08:05 > 0:08:09'What a shame one of our chefs forgot to put that on his agenda.'
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Is that how much meat you've got to cook?- I know, I'll never do it!
0:08:13 > 0:08:17It was cheap, so I bought loads and loads of it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20'Loads of it? That's an understatement -
0:08:20 > 0:08:22'Paul bought 45 kilos of it.'
0:08:22 > 0:08:25'That's about half an abattoir.'
0:08:25 > 0:08:29'There are thousands coming, but they're not all having pork belly!'
0:08:29 > 0:08:31'And you've only got one oven!'
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So one of the most important things with pork,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37if you're gonna get crackling, is to get your skin nice and dry.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42I'm not really holding up any hopes to get good crackling off this
0:08:42 > 0:08:46because I think my oven's going to have too much stuff in it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I think I've chosen the wrong thing, I should've chosen chicken.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I should've fought Lesley for that chicken.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55'Oh, dear. With just four hours till service,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58'Paul looks like he's on a wing and a prayer
0:08:58 > 0:09:02'and he's not the only one concerned about a lunch-time kickoff.'
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I'm feeling quite panicked.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06When you're catering for numbers,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09a job that would normally take ten minutes -
0:09:09 > 0:09:11suddenly that job takes an hour.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm running out of time. Already.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17'Already? You've only just arrived!'
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- How's it going, Les? - Ohhhhhhh...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Huh? Give me that noise again! Ohhhh...
0:09:23 > 0:09:26How you doing, babe? How are your pork bellies?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30They're big. They're very big!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- They're scary. - I bet you're laughing, eh?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- I'm not laughing.- "Rankin has chosen the wrong thing."- No.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39'Lesley laughing? She wouldn't be so cruel.'
0:09:39 > 0:09:42'Mind you, Paul's got a cunning plan
0:09:42 > 0:09:45'that will wipe the smile off her face.'
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The temperature is not great in here.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Nothing seems to be happening,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53but I've put a lot of pork bellies in here
0:09:53 > 0:09:56so it's absolutely crammed full of pork bellies.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59What Lesley doesn't know
0:09:59 > 0:10:05is I've also got her oven packed full of pork bellies.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Watch out for her face when she finds my pork bellies in her oven.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13'And, sure enough, just a few minutes later...'
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Erm, Mr Rankin?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Yeah?- Could you take your pork bellies out, please?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I didn't put pork bellies in there.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26That oven must come with pork bellies.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30I'll take them all out, honey, I don't know how they got in there.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Honestly, I don't know. Sorry.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36'Do you know, I don't think Paul is the slightest bit sorry,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39'but losing that oven does pose him a big problem
0:10:39 > 0:10:42'in a few hours, hundreds of hungry people
0:10:42 > 0:10:44'will flood through the gates.'
0:10:44 > 0:10:49'This is where years of experience come into play - hopefully.'
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I'm trying to keep heat in these pork bellies I had in Lesley's oven.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I've just lit the barbecue,
0:10:55 > 0:11:00so I'm going to try and braise them, try to keep the temperature in them.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I don't have the time and I don't have the oven space.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I love Lesley, but I don't want to lose.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Chefs aren't competitive though, don't be getting the wrong idea.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12'Well, this is touch-and-go stuff.'
0:11:12 > 0:11:17'If that pork ruins, Paul is out of the game - finito!'
0:11:17 > 0:11:22'And what's worse is that Lesley has run into a big setback of her own.'
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I've just gone through the chicken
0:11:24 > 0:11:27and after thinking some of the breasts were quite big,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31actually we've ended up with some which are not so big
0:11:31 > 0:11:34and I've just done a count through and I'm just now panicking
0:11:34 > 0:11:37that I haven't got enough, so we're going to get more chicken breasts.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41'Well, here's a to-do! Paul's problem is he has too much meat,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43'Lesley doesn't have enough meat.'
0:11:43 > 0:11:46'What a shame they can't share! But they can't!'
0:11:46 > 0:11:50'So, while Paul pops his pork precariously on the barbie,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53'Lesley is going to have to frantically phone for further fowl.'
0:11:53 > 0:11:56We've tracked down some chicken
0:11:56 > 0:12:00and I'm just going to call the manager, see if I can get a deal.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04'Having to phone a butcher at this late stage is not great for Lesley -
0:12:04 > 0:12:07'she's over the barrel now and the butcher will know it.'
0:12:07 > 0:12:09'Can she cut a good deal?'
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I need five kilos -
0:12:12 > 0:12:14what are you going to let me have those for?
0:12:14 > 0:12:20They're normally 10.98 a kilo and you've done them for 10.48.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I'll have them. That's £52.68, is it?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Yeah, brilliant, thank you.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29'Well, that's bad news for Lesley.'
0:12:29 > 0:12:33'She is now paying almost twice the price she paid for her first batch.'
0:12:33 > 0:12:35'This is a huge gamble on her part,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39'but had she not bought it and run out of chicken,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42'she'd have been left watching Paul picking up all the sales,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44'so fingers crossed, Les.'
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Let's just hope people buy my chicken.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51'Yes, let's. And with that thought in mind,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53'it's probably a good time to check the stats
0:12:53 > 0:12:56'and find out who spent what on ingredients for round one,
0:12:56 > 0:13:00'as that will affect the prices that will be on the menu.'
0:13:01 > 0:13:02'Well, in total,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05'Paul spent a sizeable £239.05
0:13:05 > 0:13:07'on his pork bellies and salad
0:13:07 > 0:13:11'and he's decided to sell his dish today for £5.90.'
0:13:11 > 0:13:14'Lesley also forked out a pretty penny,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17'after getting caught short with her chicken.'
0:13:17 > 0:13:20'She ended up spending £207.25
0:13:20 > 0:13:24'and is putting her dish on the menu for £5.95,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27'just 5p more than her rival's.'
0:13:27 > 0:13:32'Back at the festival and with 15 minutes till the lunch-time kickoff,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35'our duelling duo have decided to venture out of their tent
0:13:35 > 0:13:37'and suss out the other food stalls
0:13:37 > 0:13:41'and it's suddenly dawned on them that they are not alone!'
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I thought there wouldn't be a lot of competition, but there's loads.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I know, it's actually too much!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I hope I haven't bought too much stuff. I need to get rocking.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55- I need to fight through these crowds.- Yep, we're nearly there.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59'Yes, with seemingly every possible type of world food surrounding them,
0:13:59 > 0:14:04'what are our chefs going to do to make their food stand out?'
0:14:04 > 0:14:06'Well, how about burning it?'
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Oh, it's burning a bit down there.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15I'm going to whack a bit of water in to get a bit of moisture in there.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20So the cooking's going to be in a moist, steamy atmosphere,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23rather than the dry roastiness of the oven.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I need to figure out whether I'll have to try and crisp it up.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I think customers like the idea of crispy pork belly.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35'Yes, we like it crispy and we like our salsa salsa-y, don't we, Les?'
0:14:35 > 0:14:40I'm now making the salsa for my chicken course, OK?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44So we're going to use chopped red onion, chopped tomato,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46lemon juice and lime juice,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50avocado and extra virgin olive oil.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54You just chop it up and mix it all together. Nearly there.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57'You better be more than nearly there, Les,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59'as it's just gone midday
0:14:59 > 0:15:02'and the festival-goers are starting to get peckish.'
0:15:02 > 0:15:06'So a big moment for Paul - has he managed to turn his mountain of pork
0:15:06 > 0:15:09'into something halfway edible?'
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Oh, yes, the pork belly's ready.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16'So Paul's pork belly is a go-er, Lesley's chicken is on the barbie,
0:15:16 > 0:15:20'the sun is shining, the weather is hot - what more could you want
0:15:20 > 0:15:24'apart from a quick taste of your rival's dish?'
0:15:24 > 0:15:28I think you've done a good one here. You can have the chicken hot,
0:15:28 > 0:15:33your salsa's cold, with your bread - bish, bash, bosh - you're away.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36My pork belly - the thing that's difficult about this -
0:15:36 > 0:15:38every plate I need to build.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I think I've picked the wrong dish, but I think they might like it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I think your pork belly they are going to love.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- They want something zippy, they want something fresh.- Tasty, fresh.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- And yet the pork belly makes it satisfying.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54'So compliments all round,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57'though that's to each other's faces -
0:15:57 > 0:16:00'behind backs, it might be a different story.'
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Lesley's clever to use chicken
0:16:02 > 0:16:05because chicken always sells at something like this.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09The only thing I would say is I just think it's a tad plain
0:16:09 > 0:16:12and it's not as good as my pork belly.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I'm really worried actually because I think that's gonna fly out.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I don't think I stand a chance.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20'Well, Lesley's a little unsure,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23'but it's well past the time to change her mind
0:16:23 > 0:16:28'as it's just gone midday and time to unleash the customers.'
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Ladies and gentlemen!
0:16:31 > 0:16:35We are now open for food!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Buy, buy, buy!
0:16:38 > 0:16:42'And the first flurry of interest goes to Lesley's chicken.'
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- What would you like? - Er, your honey chicken, please.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Who's going have my chicken? Come on, come on, have my chicken.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54'It's early days, but Paul has decided that direct action
0:16:54 > 0:16:56'is better than inactivity.'
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Who wants to try a bit? Come on. Bit of pork belly there, sir?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Tell everyone how good it is. Try that pork belly.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- How long's it been cooking? - About three hours on the cooking.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I've put a tangy dressing on it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12'You are slightly missing the point here, Paul.'
0:17:12 > 0:17:15'You are supposed to be selling it, not giving it away!'
0:17:15 > 0:17:21'Although it's a marketing technique Lesley has also decided to adopt.'
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Would you like to try some chicken?
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- Hello. Would you like to try some? - OK.- There you go, darling.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32'So charm from both sides seems to be working as the rush is on.'
0:17:32 > 0:17:36'Both the pork and the chicken are starting to fly off the stand.'
0:17:36 > 0:17:40The chicken seems to be going well, it started off quite slow,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43but people seem to really like it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I don't know when this will end and now the service is just endless,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50it's just one, buy two, buy three...
0:17:50 > 0:17:54'So the customers are happy and the chefs are enjoying themselves.'
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Pork belly, anybody?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Please have my chicken, it's delicious!
0:17:59 > 0:18:03'And why not? Nice to see people enjoying the fruits of your work.'
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Would you recommend it? - I would.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Recommended by Brighton's most famous gourmet.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13This is the critic that all of Brighton fears.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Thank you very much, love, come and give me a kiss, thank you.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Thank you very much.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22'Although, for Lesley, they've been enjoying it a bit too much.'
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Look, that is the last of my pitta bread, I'm right out,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I'm really low now, but we've still got chicken to sell
0:18:29 > 0:18:33and I'm going to see if I can get some pitta bread or something
0:18:33 > 0:18:36that we can use with the chicken.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Lesley, have you run out of pitta bread?- Yes, I have.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42You know, my heart bleeds. You know, honestly.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47I love you so much that I really feel bad for you.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50You sound like it, mate.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52'Yes, not good news for Les -
0:18:52 > 0:18:56'she worked out she hadn't got enough chicken in good time,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59'but she forgot about her bread, which has been rapidly disappearing,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02'and no-one want to see their pittas dwindling like that.'
0:19:02 > 0:19:04'It's a double whammy too -
0:19:04 > 0:19:08'not only is she going to have to dip even further into her profits,
0:19:08 > 0:19:12'she's also going to have to leave the stand in search of supplies.'
0:19:12 > 0:19:15So we've done a deal and I've got some nice onion bread,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18which will be really good and they're normally £3 a loaf,
0:19:18 > 0:19:23but this gentleman has given me them for £2 a loaf. Really good bread.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28'It might be good bread, but £2 a loaf is coming out of your profits.'
0:19:28 > 0:19:33'And Paul's pork is still trotting off the stand.'
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Pork belly?- Pork belly, sir, ready to rock and roll.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39'Well, Lesley's back, bread replenished -
0:19:39 > 0:19:42'wouldn't it be awful if she ran out of something else?'
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I've run out of hummus
0:19:44 > 0:19:49and I'm going to make up another sort of sour cream with sesame
0:19:49 > 0:19:52to go with the chicken,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54so another sort of dippy thing.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58'Oh, Lesley, what were you up to when you went to the shops?'
0:19:58 > 0:20:00'You are supposed to keep it cheap,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03'but you were supposed to buy enough to go around.'
0:20:03 > 0:20:05'But, as the afternoon wears on,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08'she's not the only one suffering from supply-and-demand problems.'
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Getting short of stuff now. Still got a bit more pork belly left,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16but we're nearly there, even on the pork belly.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19What I will run out of is salad
0:20:19 > 0:20:22and the likes of the noodles.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24'Yes, victims of their own success, the pair of them,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28'but what was the customers' verdict on our chefs' work?'
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Delicious, really complementary flavours
0:20:31 > 0:20:34and the lime brings the flavours out in the chicken as well.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38The chicken is fantastic, you must try it, really good.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42I had the pork belly. It looked really nice when he cut it up.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I like a nice side-salad as well, so I thought "I'll go for that."
0:20:46 > 0:20:49It's gorgeous, a lovely, sweet sauce to it,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52lovely and crispy pork - beautiful.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54'So thumbs up from the critics,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58'but, at the end of service, which one of our duelling duo
0:20:58 > 0:21:01'sold the most meat dishes and took round one?'
0:21:01 > 0:21:06The meat course - this is what I have all my hopes pinned on.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I know, I think you've won this without a doubt, mate.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I hope so. I can't wait to see. Let's go!
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Ready? After three. One, two, three...
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Woo-hoo! - Yeah, you so did.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Yee-hoo! Loving my work, loving my work!
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Who's the king, baby?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26'He's the king and he's the daddy.'
0:21:26 > 0:21:30'It's a resounding success for Paul, selling 42 more dishes than Lesley,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33'but, of course, this competition is not about dishes sold,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37'it's about profits so how do those figures translate
0:21:37 > 0:21:40'into cold, hard cash? Let's check the stats.'
0:21:40 > 0:21:43'Well, Paul's 147 plates of pork belly
0:21:43 > 0:21:47'brought in an impressive total of £867.30
0:21:47 > 0:21:50'and even when you deduct the money spent on ingredients,
0:21:50 > 0:21:55'that still leaves him with £628.25 of pure profit.'
0:21:55 > 0:21:59'Lesley was charging slightly more for her chicken,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03'but she still only raised £561.75.'
0:22:03 > 0:22:07'Take away expenses, including what she spent on bread during service,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11'and that leaves her with a profit of £354.50
0:22:11 > 0:22:15'and a bit of a mountain to climb as we head into round two -
0:22:15 > 0:22:17'the veggie dish.'
0:22:18 > 0:22:21'Lesley really needs to pull her socks up here.'
0:22:21 > 0:22:23'Our chefs had to offer a vegetarian option,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26'served at the same time as their meat dishes
0:22:26 > 0:22:30'and it's essential Lesley wins this round to stay in the competition.'
0:22:30 > 0:22:33'So, what has she chosen as her dish?'
0:22:33 > 0:22:38I'm gonna do really lovely, rich, spicy vegetable noodles.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41'Lesley's Eastern-style spicy sesame noodles
0:22:41 > 0:22:44'will be served with crispy, fresh vegetables
0:22:44 > 0:22:46'and an aromatic coconut sauce.'
0:22:46 > 0:22:49'It looks good enough to... well, to eat!'
0:22:49 > 0:22:52'What has Paul got in his cannon to take that on?'
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Corn on the cob with smoked chilli butter -
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I think it would go a belter.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00'Paul's barbecue Sussex sweetcorn
0:23:00 > 0:23:04'will be drizzled with a smoked chilli and garlic butter.'
0:23:04 > 0:23:06'Hang on a second!'
0:23:06 > 0:23:09'That's just a bit of sweetcorn slapped on the barbie.'
0:23:09 > 0:23:12'I know they like to keep their costs down,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14'but has Paul gone too simple?'
0:23:14 > 0:23:18'He's gambling that the customers want something cheap and cheerful.'
0:23:18 > 0:23:21'But just how cheap has he gone?'
0:23:21 > 0:23:23'Well, earlier on, when they went shopping,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26'both had their budgets on their minds,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29'aiming to get the best possible veggie dish on the plate
0:23:29 > 0:23:31'for the cheapest possible price.'
0:23:31 > 0:23:34'Lesley looks for the limes and chillies
0:23:34 > 0:23:37'that will spice up her Thai-style dish.'
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- How many in the box?- Approximately 70, the way you've done it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- How much will you let me have those for?- £7 a box, 10 pence each.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Would you even do it down to six?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Erm... - SHE KISSES
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I tell you what I'll do, I'll do it for 5.50.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57That sounds fantastic!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Now, I'm going to probably need about half a box.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I tell you what - shall we say a tenner the lot?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- That sounds good, doesn't it? - That sounds great.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You're a sweetheart, thank you very much.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12'So Lesley's pleased, but will Paul give poor Cyril a harder time
0:24:12 > 0:24:13'and get a better deal?'
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- I'm liking the look of this local corn.- Yeah?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- How many's in a box? - There's 30 in a box.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23So if I was looking for three, four boxes of that,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25you could do me a good deal?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Well, usually about 40 pence a head, which is 12 quid,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31but as you're a good-looking guy, I'll do it for a tenner.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Can you go a wee bit lower?
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- I've got seven kids indoors, you know?- Seven kids?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- My heart's bleeding now. - I know, I know.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Go on, I'll do it for nine for you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Fantastic, I'll take four boxes.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50'Yes, at £9 a box, that works out at just 30 pence per portion
0:24:50 > 0:24:54'a great deal if the customers want something so simple at a food fair.'
0:24:54 > 0:24:56'Let's look at the numbers.'
0:24:56 > 0:24:59'Paul's total spend on his veggie dish was incredibly low -
0:24:59 > 0:25:02'he splashed out a mere £64.18
0:25:02 > 0:25:06'and is putting his sweetcorn on the menu at £2.50 per portion.'
0:25:06 > 0:25:11'Lesley didn't spend an awful lot more on her Thai-style noodles -
0:25:11 > 0:25:15'in fact, her total ingredients cost came to just £90.42,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20'but she is putting the dish up for sale at £4.95 a portion,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22'twice as much as her rival's.'
0:25:22 > 0:25:24'Meaning, if she outsells him,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27'she'll make a lot more profit.'
0:25:27 > 0:25:30'Now, it's quite obvious that Paul has gone down the fast-food route,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34'because, as well as the potential for an incredible profit margin,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37'he's also bought himself time,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40'as the sweetcorn has very little preparation needed -
0:25:40 > 0:25:44'unlike Lesley, who has preparation coming out of her ears.'
0:25:44 > 0:25:47'Yes, she's got piles... of carrots.'
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I haven't even started peeling the carrots yet, look.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00And that's just one vegetable that's going in the noodle salad!
0:26:00 > 0:26:03'So Lesley has a load of work on her hands.'
0:26:03 > 0:26:06'Paul, however, has a solution and that is to job-share
0:26:06 > 0:26:10'yes, as well as her own work, Lesley can share his jobs too.'
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- Can you do some seeds for me? - No, sorry, do your own.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I'll give you the pan though.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Have you got spring onions in yours? - Yes.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Do you want me to do you some spring onions?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Cos I'm not doing them.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Ooh, you beast, you. - I love it when she calls me a beast.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35'Yes, he might be a beast, but he's also a beauty
0:26:35 > 0:26:38'when it comes to handing out advice.'
0:26:38 > 0:26:41The best way to juice an orange with this amount of oranges
0:26:41 > 0:26:43is to have an electric squeezer,
0:26:43 > 0:26:48but actually we haven't got one, so I'm just using my hands.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52The best way to juice an orange is to buy a big bottle of orange juice.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57See what I'm having to put up with?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00'The trouble with Paul is that he has too much time on his hands
0:27:00 > 0:27:04'the only prep he's got to do is the spicy dressing for his sweetcorn.'
0:27:04 > 0:27:08I've got butter, red and green chillis,
0:27:08 > 0:27:13I've got garlic and I'm putting in smoked chilli paste from Mexico.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18It's pretty hot stuff, so I need to be careful I don't add too much,
0:27:18 > 0:27:23otherwise everyone will be asking for it without my butter.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27'Over with Lesley and the sauce for her noodles is coming along nicely.'
0:27:27 > 0:27:31In here, I've got green Thai curry paste, which I've bought -
0:27:31 > 0:27:35I did plan to make it, but I just haven't got the time -
0:27:35 > 0:27:37and some coconut cream
0:27:37 > 0:27:41and probably a little bit of vegetable stock and that's it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44'Soon, both dishes are ready for service,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47'but before the general public are allowed to taste anything,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51'our chefs have to have a check and see what they think first.'
0:27:51 > 0:27:55I like this, this is the sort of stuff I like to eat at home -
0:27:55 > 0:27:57quite light and fresh and zippy.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Good.- Great job. - Thanks, mate.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- This is what I like to eat as well. - I love that smoked chilli.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- It's good, isn't it?- I just love that caramelisation on it
0:28:07 > 0:28:10and it makes it even sweeter, but it's really succulent.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- Boy, we're great cooks. - Yeah, we are.- Yeah, we're good.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17'So the chefs are pleased - what about the customers?'
0:28:17 > 0:28:22'Only one way to find out - let the dog see the veggie rabbit.'
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Do you like noodles with curry sauce? Would you like to try that?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- Go on, then. - Yahoo! Let's do noodles.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32'Well, Lesley manages to bang one noodle out,
0:28:32 > 0:28:33'but it soon becomes obvious
0:28:33 > 0:28:37'that there's not that many vegetarians at the food festival
0:28:37 > 0:28:40'or, if there are, they don't fancy noodles or sweetcorn,
0:28:40 > 0:28:44'as sales on both sides are downright poor.'
0:28:44 > 0:28:47It's late summer, you've got Sussex sweetcorn -
0:28:47 > 0:28:50everyone should want to taste a bit of their local sweetcorn
0:28:50 > 0:28:52and it's not really selling.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56'Well, those that have been brave and bought veggie
0:28:56 > 0:28:58'do seem to be enjoying it.'
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I've just had the noodles, they were quite spicy, but that's kinda nice.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05I liked all the sauce and all the stuff on it.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Yeah, I've ordered some Thai noodles,
0:29:08 > 0:29:11it's a really delicious combination of flavours and textures.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14I do actually like sweetcorn a lot
0:29:14 > 0:29:17and I just wanted to try it with the chilli sauce
0:29:17 > 0:29:20because I've never had it that way and it was very, very nice.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24'Yep, they like it, but the word just hasn't spread.'
0:29:24 > 0:29:27'Only one thing for it - drastic action!'
0:29:27 > 0:29:29The sweetcorn's going to 1.50!
0:29:29 > 0:29:341.50 for local grilled sweetcorn with a smoky chilli butter.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39'Yes, Paul massively drops his price and, sure enough, sales pick up.'
0:29:39 > 0:29:41None of you folks hungry?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44I'll have one of your sweetcorns, that sounds lovely.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46One sweetcorn, Richard.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50'It's not long before Lesley is forced to follow suit.'
0:29:50 > 0:29:54And the Thai noodles have now gone to 1.60.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58'And, sure as eggs is eggs, out come the old veggies.'
0:29:58 > 0:30:03This lady, yes! OK, this lady's going to have some, fantastic.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05'The crowd here is a tough one.'
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Since we dropped the price, we've sold so many more,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11so I think it was too expensive,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14even though it's quite an expensive dish to make.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17'Aw! What a bunch of meanies.'
0:30:17 > 0:30:21'It's meant those veggie-dish sales were pretty thin for both chefs.'
0:30:21 > 0:30:23'But before we draw a line under it,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26'let's find out who sold the most and takes the round.'
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- You've killed me on this one. - I'm not so sure, you know.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Shall we count to three? - Let's do it.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35One, two, three...
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Ohhhhhhh! Not by much though, my love.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42I didn't get much money for mine.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44No, nor did I.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I only sold about seven at the full price.
0:30:47 > 0:30:53- Just wait till the next one. - Yes, the next one's going to be interesting.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56'So Lesley sells more dishes than Paul,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59'but it's not just about dishes sold -
0:30:59 > 0:31:02'the winner will be the chef that makes the most profit,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04'so let's check the numbers.'
0:31:04 > 0:31:08'Paul's sweetcorn actually raised £72.50 in total,
0:31:08 > 0:31:11'but when you take off the money he spent on ingredients,
0:31:11 > 0:31:15'that leaves a round-two profit of just £8.32.'
0:31:15 > 0:31:19'And if you think that's bad, Lesley's 41 noodle dishes
0:31:19 > 0:31:21'brought in a total of £92.40,
0:31:21 > 0:31:27'but take away her costs and that leaves a really lame £1.98 profit
0:31:27 > 0:31:31'she may have sold more, but she made less.'
0:31:31 > 0:31:36'For her, the third and final round is her only chance of winning
0:31:36 > 0:31:39'for Lesley, it all comes down to puddings!'
0:31:39 > 0:31:41I'm doing a moist chocolate cake,
0:31:41 > 0:31:45served with a lovely sort of warm espresso coffee syrup
0:31:45 > 0:31:48and a bit dollop of vanilla cream on the top.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52'Lesley's chocolate sponge will be drizzled with a warm espresso syrup
0:31:52 > 0:31:55'and topped with thick cream.'
0:31:55 > 0:31:58'It's certainly going to be a festival eye-catcher,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01'so what will Paul be serving to counteract that?'
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Going to do stuffed baked peaches.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08Something like a beautiful stuffed peach would be... mwah!
0:32:08 > 0:32:10'Paul's warm baked peaches
0:32:10 > 0:32:14'will be topped with a buttery almond and amaretti-biscuit crumble
0:32:14 > 0:32:18'and will be dripping in thick whipped cream
0:32:18 > 0:32:20'mouthwateringly delicious.'
0:32:20 > 0:32:23'That is the choice for the festival goers -
0:32:23 > 0:32:26'chocolate sponge or baked peaches? A tricky decision.'
0:32:26 > 0:32:30'But for Lesley, of course, it's make or break
0:32:30 > 0:32:33'all her eggs are now in one chocolate-cakey basket
0:32:33 > 0:32:35'and every penny will count.'
0:32:35 > 0:32:39'So earlier, when she went shopping for her ingredients,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42'it was essential she got the best deals.'
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- I need to haggle with you. A serious haggle.- What are you after?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50I've got this chocolate and it's good quality, but it comes to £80.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I can take another £5 a case off.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55£5 a case. Can you do six?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- I'll do six for you.- Off the small boxes, that sounds great.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03'So Lesley's pleased, but what about Paul and his peaches?'
0:33:03 > 0:33:06'How did he get on at the fruit and veg sellers?'
0:33:06 > 0:33:08A box of white peaches, how much?
0:33:08 > 0:33:12You're gonna bid me anyway, so if I say go straight in at eight quid,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15that's about 30 pence each.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- Six quid a box, you said? - Almost! 6.50.
0:33:19 > 0:33:226.50? 6.30.
0:33:22 > 0:33:246.25.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Oh, I like... OK, that's the one.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30That'll do. I'll take five boxes.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34'Cyril's been so battered by our chefs over his prices,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36'he's even knocking himself down,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39'but let's find out what that looks like in writing.'
0:33:39 > 0:33:44'Paul's total spend on his desserts came to £71.05.'
0:33:44 > 0:33:47'It would therefore help Lesley if she spent less than this,
0:33:47 > 0:33:53'but sadly she didn't - in fact, she spent £107.26 -
0:33:53 > 0:33:55'well over £30 more than Paul,
0:33:55 > 0:33:59'which puts her even further behind him on the money stakes.'
0:33:59 > 0:34:02'Back at the stand and it's preparation all the way -
0:34:02 > 0:34:05'Paul has again picked an easy dish to make
0:34:05 > 0:34:10'and starts with the crumble mix that will top his baked peaches.'
0:34:10 > 0:34:13It's hard making things in these quantities
0:34:13 > 0:34:19and to be making them in a stall in the middle of a park in Brighton.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23It's frightening and I've got my reputation on the line here.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27'You certainly have! The eyes of Brighton are on you -
0:34:27 > 0:34:30'in fact, you're quite the centre of attention.'
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Try a little bit of that.
0:34:33 > 0:34:39Imagine that baking and crispy and crumbly on top of the peaches.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Not bad, eh?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44'Now, the only downside about Paul's simple crumble mix
0:34:44 > 0:34:47'is it doesn't half mess up your hands!'
0:34:47 > 0:34:49What do I do with these?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Suck 'em. - Help me!
0:34:52 > 0:34:57'Perhaps next time you will remember to use a spoon like Lesley does!'
0:34:57 > 0:35:00A chocolate-melting tip here
0:35:00 > 0:35:03is that you don't want the chocolate to burn
0:35:03 > 0:35:06so we're melting the chocolate in a bowl
0:35:06 > 0:35:09over a pan of simmering water.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12The idea is the bowl isn't sitting in the water,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14the steam is heating the bowl.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19'Now, there is one problem when cooking with chocolate in a tent -
0:35:19 > 0:35:22'it's the problem of people nicking it!
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- What are you up to?- Do you need all that? Is it measured?- Yes, it is!
0:35:26 > 0:35:28'Yes, be off with you.'
0:35:28 > 0:35:33'Now, with so much competition, every bit of advertising helps,
0:35:33 > 0:35:36'so, to drum up a little pre-service interest,
0:35:36 > 0:35:40'our chefs have decided to hijack the stage in the main tent.'
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Our dessert, what we're doing, is we've got a minimum guide price,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48but when you eat it, you only need to pay what you think it's worth,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52so try to be generous, especially with my stuff.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Especially with my stuff.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59I'm getting really seasonal - peaches.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01What's nicer at this time of year?
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Stuffed with almonds and amaretti biscuits and butter
0:36:05 > 0:36:10and serving with a big dollop of thick cream.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I'm doing a lovely dark-chocolate cake
0:36:13 > 0:36:17that's going to be served with espresso sauce
0:36:17 > 0:36:20and lashings of thick cream.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22A FEW CHEERS
0:36:22 > 0:36:24'Will their sales pitch work?'
0:36:24 > 0:36:28'Not on this lot, they've already found something to tuck into!'
0:36:28 > 0:36:32'But before service starts, what do the chefs think of their dishes?'
0:36:32 > 0:36:35You've made a real sort of homely dish
0:36:35 > 0:36:38into something that's quite sophisticated.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- Got the almonds, the amaretti, the butter.- Lovely.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43That's a sexy little pud.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- I'm a bit annoyed at this one.- Why?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48I think you've picked a winner -
0:36:48 > 0:36:52a big, gooey, sensual chocolate cake.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I'm going off you completely. It's fantastic.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Oh, you've got me really worried now.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03'So compliments all round, but, for the first time today,
0:37:03 > 0:37:06'Paul looks genuinely worried.'
0:37:06 > 0:37:09The thing I'm depressed about is Lesley's chocolate cake
0:37:09 > 0:37:14cos it's drop-dead gorgeous. I think she's onto a winner there.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16'Well, we are about to find out the truth
0:37:16 > 0:37:21'as we hit the final round of today's culinary shenanigans
0:37:21 > 0:37:23'and, for Leslie, it's a great start.'
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Two pieces of cake, please. - Two pieces of cake!
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- How are we with the cream over there?- Some nice creamy cake.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33'Chocolate cake is flying off the stands.'
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Oh, my God, that's delicious! It's delicious!
0:37:38 > 0:37:42'And the good people of Brighton are opening their purses too!'
0:37:42 > 0:37:45People are paying over the odds. Not all the time,
0:37:45 > 0:37:50but they're paying the suggested price, plus stuff on top as well.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52'And what about Paul's peaches?'
0:37:52 > 0:37:58You're our first peach customer and the peaches have been slow,
0:37:58 > 0:38:00so I'm loving this gentleman.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02'So both dishes are starting to shift.'
0:38:02 > 0:38:06'Now, when a job lot of excitable wig-wearing young ladies turn up,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09'you can bet on two things
0:38:09 > 0:38:13'they're in the mood to celebrate and they need chocolate!'
0:38:13 > 0:38:17'But that's not going to stop Paul muscling in on the act.'
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- What you want is a feel of my peaches.- No, get those out.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24You want to get my peaches round your gums is what you want.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29- Honestly, my peaches are supposed to be...- They're a bit soft.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33My peaches are delicious. I can give you a taste if you want.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Go for a taste. - A taste of my peaches?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38A bit of peach, a bit of crumble.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Imagine if there's cream on top.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44When I walked over, Paul called me over
0:38:44 > 0:38:46and gave me a little taster
0:38:46 > 0:38:51and I thought "I better have some of that" and they were £3.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53I was going to pay some more
0:38:53 > 0:38:55and Paul said "No, £3 is enough."
0:38:55 > 0:38:59I paid £3, got these delicious peaches and a lovely kiss as well.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03'Yes, Paul gave her a taster, a kiss and let her off on the price -
0:39:03 > 0:39:06'I wonder what he was thinking! Eyes on the food, Paul.'
0:39:06 > 0:39:08'He might have the gift of the gab,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11'but he can't compete with Lesley's cakey.'
0:39:11 > 0:39:15That's more than 2.95. I think I'll pay 3.95.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Mwah, mwah! You haven't even tasted it yet!
0:39:18 > 0:39:20It looks gorgeous.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23'Paul does have one trick up his sleeve -
0:39:23 > 0:39:26'once again, he's going to drop his prices.'
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Look at these lovely peach crumbles -
0:39:29 > 0:39:31peach stuffed with almond crumble.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34They're going down to 50p each.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37'This is bad news for Lesley as Paul's cheap peaches
0:39:37 > 0:39:39'are taking all the sales.'
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Peaches are flying now, but I'm only getting 50p for a half,
0:39:43 > 0:39:47so it's a lot of work for very little money.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50These people don't seem to know who I am.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55I am quite a famous chef, you know. These peaches are delicious.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- You lowered the price, we're just having it.- That's OK.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01'Yes, don't you know who he is?'
0:40:02 > 0:40:06'But, egos aside, what do the customers think of the food?'
0:40:06 > 0:40:10It's gorgeous and that's why I bought it - I watched it being made.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14- We watched it being made. - It's come out the oven and I've been waiting ever since.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20I shouldn't be eating it because my belly is far too big.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24I chose the peaches because of Paul's salesmanship - good choice.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27I've never had hot peaches before
0:40:27 > 0:40:30and I'm going home to do some, that's for sure.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34'Pudding went down a storm - in fact, both chefs had a sellout.'
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- My last plate. - It's delicious, I can't wait.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- She's a good girl, this one. - Darling, have you finished?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- I'm all done, I'm all done. - I'm done in. Are you done in?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47I'm done and I'm done!
0:40:47 > 0:40:51I am done! In case you didn't get it, we're done.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53'Yes, we got it, you're done -
0:40:53 > 0:40:56'underdone or overdone, we are yet to find out,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59'but whilst we tot up the profits,
0:40:59 > 0:41:03'let's find out how many desserts our two chefs managed to shift.'
0:41:03 > 0:41:08'Paul started slowly, but in the end sold a sterling 95 portions.'
0:41:08 > 0:41:11'Of course, most of these were at knock-down prices.'
0:41:11 > 0:41:14'Lesley sold out her chocolate cake,
0:41:14 > 0:41:18'but must've been giving large portions as she only sold 64,
0:41:18 > 0:41:21'although most of them were at full price.'
0:41:21 > 0:41:25'So what a day it's been for our chefs - a proper culinary carousel -
0:41:25 > 0:41:28'but it's time to put them out of their misery
0:41:28 > 0:41:32'and find out who has taken the biscuit
0:41:32 > 0:41:34'and who is picking up crumbs.'
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- Are you ready? - I'm ready.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- I'm worried about this. - You don't need to be.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42After three, ready? One, two, three...
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- Woo-hoo!- Ohh, wow.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- Mr Rankin. - I just made it.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- And we both made good money. - We did and we had a good time.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55We're exhausted, but, you know, hey.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59So we'll just lie down underneath this table now.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- You promised to rub my feet. - Oh, yeah, I've gotta give you a foot rub.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- This way, baby. - OK, lovey.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09You know, I'm happy about that.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13It's not that I'm competitive, but I do like to win that sort of thing.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17I did spend quite a lot, but I had a feeling he got it.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21It's been lovely to be beside the seaside here in Brighton.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Really lovely. In fact, I might go for a dip. I'm hot enough.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29'Yes, a convincing win for Paul, but certainly no shame in defeat
0:42:29 > 0:42:33'because both chefs earned a load of money for their chosen charities.'
0:42:33 > 0:42:36My charity today is the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance
0:42:36 > 0:42:39because they're very local to me.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44My charity is the Knights Wheelchair Basketball Club in Belfast.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48'It's hoorah for all, as, once again, two top chefs have shown
0:42:48 > 0:42:53'that they have what it takes to put their menus where their mouths are!'
