Ep 2. Mick & Matt (TAS)

Mick and Matt are the next pair up to cook on My Kitchen Rules season 4 episode 2 in the beautiful Tasmanian wilderness. The competitive duo is up against five other teams in the ultimate battle of home cooking.

Mick, a 51-year-old former champion football player and his teammate Matt, a 30-year-old Country Club chef, bring their unique skills to the table in hopes of impressing the fierce judges and their fellow contestants. Their menu features a mix of classic flavors and innovative twists on traditional dishes.

Their entree is a fresh seafood chowder with locally sourced ingredients. The judges are impressed with the expertly cooked seafood and creamy broth that showcases the quality of the local produce. However, they note that the dish could have used a bit more seasoning.

For their main course, Mick and Matt present a delicious duck breast with beetroot puree and a side of figs and walnuts. The judges rave about the perfectly cooked duck, which is tender and succulent. They also love the earthy sweetness of the beetroot puree and the crunch of the walnuts.

Finally, for dessert, Mick and Matt prepare a decadent chocolate fondant with hazelnut ice cream. The judges are blown away by the rich chocolate flavor of the fondant and the creamy texture of the hazelnut ice cream. While it is an indulgent dessert, the judges note that the portion size could have been a bit smaller as it is quite rich.

Overall, Mick and Matt receive high praise for their creative menu and expert cooking skills. They also impress their competitors with their humor and camaraderie in the kitchen. However, they are up against tough competition and will have to wait until the elimination rounds to see if they will advance to the next stage of the competition.
