Synopsis
Restaurateur Michel Roux Jr. takes eight young people aged 17-24, and over eight weeks trains them in the art of providing the perfect front-of-house restaurant service.
Veering toward the docusoap end of the reality spectrum, though at the end of the series, two of the eight were to receive a six-month scholarship with the Academy of Food and Wine, to develop and refine their newfound skills.
In fact three scholarships were awarded, and a fourth participant was offered a job by mentor Fred Sirieix.
