The two highest scoring chefs from north east England must go head-to-head and cook their six-course menus again.
They need to impress a panel of exacting judges: Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge, chef and top restaurateur Nisha Katona, and comedian and food podcaster Ed Gamble. The guest judge is Team GB's first ever sport climber, Shauna Coxsey. How will she judge dishes celebrating the Olympic and Paralympic games?
Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent north east England at the national finals.
