MKR Tues – the Uber Eats challnge

Okay, I don’t actually know if it’s Uber Eats but I write these headlines in advance. Please insert Deliveroo/Menulog/relevant name here.
The blurb: Group 2 are tasked with running a home delivery service; cooking, driving and delivering food to homes in the local neighbourhood. With the public and their rivals judging, who will fail to deliver?

Having seen the ad, it looks like they are filming at Costco. What do you gice think?

Well, we deep-sixed two obnoxious pests last night. And as nice as Dan and Gemma are, I’d be surprised if the elimination team this round weren’t either the In-Laws or the defense force couple.

Littlepetal

My bet will be one of this 2 teams. They have already overstayed

big h

How will the Russians deliver their food? Neither of them drive – remember the instant restaurant shopping by taxi.

Littlepetal

Good point Big H. They can have a hired car at their disposal

big h

That could give them an advantage as a local driver is less likely to get lost.

big h

More oven woes Channel 7? Honestly, that’s really flogging a dead chook.

Windsong

Yeah, I feel like the ovens have actually been watching the show, and are now taking deliberate action to take out the teams they don’t like.

big h

Quick-cook Chinese/other Asian def the way to go as it’s more forgiving for being transported. How on earth so you deliver a filet steak?

Littlepetal

Watermelon salad is also a nono

Jazzman

I have finally made my decision. The Asian girls just admitted they have plenty of experience i dads restaurant kitchen.
It’s not fair to pu them against amateur cooks.
That’s all

Littlepetal

So are the Italians who run a food truck. My bet is they won’t win.

Littlepetal

This is another ridiculous challenge for Gp 2.

I guessed it has been pre plan as to how many portion to cook.

How do you know how many orders will come in?

Now it becomes an Amazing race

Littlepetal

Not an area for watermelon salad. Fried food will be the favourite

Windsong

Thanks for the map :). Yeah, that is a fair bit out of the way, isn’t it?

Von

This challenge is stupid. If I’m reading the blurb right, each team has to to cook orders, package them, drive to the household or whatever, and deliver the meal/s. And take money and accept tips or not? Do both team members have to be in the delivery vehicle? So MKR tonight is less about cooking and more about who has a better sense of direction, or knows how to program a GPS.

MKR this season has written the definitive manual on how to jump the freaking shark.

Littlepetal

I think the teams have only about 4 orders each

Windsong

Matt and Aly: We want to offer people something different, something fresh and healthy.
Dan and Gemma: Let’s cook fried stuff with cheese!

Meanwhile over with the Jordanian girls, we have an uncooperative oven doing its best to derail yet another team. I’m picking up a theme of this season, here. I find the Man-Eaters kind of irritating, but I’d still happily eat their food.

Scratch that. Whatever Henry and Anna are making, I pick that, just so Henry can deliver it to my door. That works.

big h

Well done to the winners. Out of the fire … a phoenix team indeed!

Jazzman

Dan and Gemma eh. Colin was delighted.
Food banks are a great way to feed your family when you have limited funds. Never seen any mussels there though

Liberty

Food to make you gag.

AnnaB

Bleh, frankfurts in a rice salad. Sounds like something that you would make with what was leftover in the fridge.

Smythe

It sounded disgusting.

Windsong

It was nice to see Dan and Gemma actually cook quite well tonight. Given the amount of teams who had undercooked food, I guess time-management was the real challenge to overcome.

Not really a huge surprise about Matt and Aly being the lowest.

Meanwhile, did anyone else find it really off-putting watching Colin work his through about seven meals with his mouth wide open? It was just, dude, you are on national television. Close your mouth when you chew food! Ick.

Jayblossom

Missed most of tonight’s ep, doesn’t seem I missed much.
Really sick of them dragging out the drama at the table – they’ve been hyping it since the tennis was on.

Zhee

If you want real food bank drama…

Even though I do not like Hadil and Sonya, I would so eat their dishes.

Zhee

Mhmm, Henry is a fellow leftie. 😀 I know it is silly, but if you are left-handed, you are kind of rare and always spot other lefties.^^ And it is funny actually, in my family, all left-handed ones are from my dad’s side and it is only the guys. My grand pa was left-handed, my dad and his older brother are and my oldest cousin. I am the only female leftie. 😉

AnnaB

Something I, as a leftie, notice as well, Zhee. I’m from a time when left-handers were almost regarded as aberration and had to be converted. In my case I was fortunate but friends had their left hands tied behind their backs in an attempt to change them. I’m the only one in the family who is left-handed.

Smythe

Wish they would stop the Henry love connection “stuff”. Enough is enough.
Good for Dan and Gemma. Good choice of foods and great cooking.
Maybe someone can explain to me how teams plan menus without checking out what is available first. Are they told what choices they have beforehand?

Littlepetal

More like they were told what the challenge is and what protein is available. They each have about 4 orders. Such a coincidence. And all cooked just enough for the orders. Such a coincidence!!!

Then the kitchen fairies just wriggle their noses and all the necessary ingredients are made available.

I saw one team was unwrapping some meat wrap in Coles paper
