London and the South East Judges

Guest judge Professor Chris Jackson, geologist and adventurer, helps decide the winner from the two remaining chefs. Both have pioneering dishes, but whose will rocket to success?

Today, the two highest scoring chefs from the London and the South East region must go head to head and cook their six-course menus again. But will they take on board their veteran’s advice as they serve both the panel of judges and one of Britain’s foremost geologists?

The chefs need to impress the formidable judges, food writer Matthew Fort, restauranteur Oliver Peyton and broadcaster and food creative Rachel Khoo, as well as a guest judge. In this episode, it’s Professor Chris Jackson, a geologist and intrepid adventurer. He judges dishes celebrating British science and innovation, including a lobster dish inspired by a computer algorithm celebrating Ada Lovelace and a dessert paying homage to the discovery of DNA.
