EXCLUSIVE:Â Seven’s My Kitchen Rules returns next week but Nine has now confirmed its intention to return to the food genre with a new format.
Nine’s Director of Programming and Production Andrew Backwell confirmed a recent TV Tonight rumour, saying, “I’m happy to say that Endemol is producing a new food show for Channel Nine. It’s in the late stages of development and will start shooting shortly.
“It’s a ‘stripped’ food format, set in restaurants, and I think it’s a really solid idea.
“I think we were one of the first to get into the food space with The Chopping Block with Matt Moran, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares played very solidly on Nine,” he said.
The format has been whispered about as the “MKR of restaurants” with teams travelling the country to dine in and score each others’ restaurants.
Nine is currently casting the new series.

I’m actually glad Nine is doing this-well why not! Hopefully MKR will drop in ratings too & hope this will give it a run for it’s ratings. I’m always up for something new and that sounds good.
What happened to the wedding show they were making for 9 almost a year ago?
Another cooking show for Nine – Pass
Of course Seven has made a career of ripping off Nine’s shows.
The story says it is a new concept from Endemol so let’s wait and see.
I’m not surprised.I have Foxtel so i’m right
Which obnoxious Nine “personality” will host this?
Agreed, why isnt there much variety on tv now days, we need some more variety shows and new game shows would suit well. Game shows are fun and entertaining look at the rebooted Family Feud doing well. Why not try Sale of the Century again or even Wheel of Fortune and with the variety shows, why not produce a show similar to Hey Hey its Saturday or IMT or even a midday show like the old days on Nine.
Well to me it sounds like a direct rip off of the “My a restaurant rules/ Restaurant revolution” format to me.
I feel it is just a matter of time before Mon-Thur on Seven or Nine starts looking like this:
7.30 Stripped reality show 1
9.17 Stripped reality show 2
10.43 something else…
No. Why aren’t we hearing announcements about dramas?
Hang on a second.. Isn’t seven brining that concept back titled restaurant revolution? (Reboot of my restaurant rules)
In the previous report linked here I noted My Restaurant Rules and Restaurant Revolution. I didn’t feel the need to repeat those statements.
So obviously Big Brother is cancelled if Nine is stripping a new show.
This Nein ripoff was only actioned after Seven announced they are producing “Restaurant Revolution”. A defensive strategy for sure.
Pretty sure SBS were “in the food space” before anybody else.
TV as we know it is on the way out. RIP.
There’s a daytime BBC series called restaurant startup. It could be based on that. Whatever it is I’m sure it will Involve couples cooking for the other contestants in their restaurant and the couples will score them out of 10, and there will be a mix of nasty and nice couples
Headline should read: Nine copies Seven in an attempt to come up with something “new” and “original”
So “My Restaurant Rules” then?
Another ‘cooking’ show about nasty people saying nasty things
Boring… just boring
How original.
Wasn’t the MKR of Restaurants “My Restaurant Rules”, which was a flop leading Seven to recreate it as MKR?
How many more reality shows do we have to endure, wondered how long it would be before nine was back on the band wagon, all we have is building, cooking, building, cooking, how pathetic is this getting.
Fair dinkum! If it isn’t tough enough now recording a scripted series programme by setting the PVR 10 minutes early and finishing 40 minutes after the end credits or combining two programmes plus a 40 minutes after the end credits because of late end time of the unintersting of a reality series, it’s going to get a lot worse with more of this reality dreck
That’s a risky concept for restaurant owners. If their restaurant has a bad night, their business could be sunk.
Yawn
