Million Pound Menu

Let me making something clear: this show is for people who enjoy both Shark Tank and Masterchef. It is a perfect mixture of the two. Every idea isnt going to be invested in , just like Shark Tank, and its a lot more interesting because you learn about the business side of restaurants and creating businesses out of them.

It is a must watch and really makes you use your own brain while watching it (would I invest in this idea?) that alone makes it more engaging than Masterchef.

I enjoyed it, especially season #2 when they changed the format a bit. That change of format to where they required multiple hopefuls to vie for a singular chance to go to Manchester was superior in my view. Focusing on a single restaurant in Manchester created more human interest and a focused approach. The host, Fred Sirieix, was a delight, and Fred brought much knowledge, enthusiasm, and what seemed to be a real interest in seeing these young chefs succeed, whether or not an investment resulted on the show. Sorry to see that there were not more seasons. With the new format, I thought it had a good chance to succeed.

Anyone thinking of starting a restaurant should watch this. It's very entertaining and allows you to predict the outcome.

I looked forward to season 2 of million pound menu and it did not disappoint. So much so that I took the next 2 hours googling the all the restaurant concepts to see where the ended up after the show. i think million pound menu needs to add an episode of where all the the restauranteurs ended up and if they did realize their dream of opening a restaurant and how well they are doing

The show's current format leaves the viewer without a "where are they now" follow-up once the deal is agreed upon between the investor and the potential business owner(s) which is a bit underwhelming for the last scene. A 3 to 6-mth follow-up at the restaurant's new digs would be an even higher note to end on following the Champagne toast.
