On the Menu is an American reality competition series on TNT. It is the first cooking show that gives viewers the chance to taste the winning dish.
In each episode, four home cooks battle for the chance to have their dish served in a national restaurant chain. The show features Ty Pennington as host and Emeril Lagasse as menu master.[1] It is produced by Mark Burnett.[2]
Format
The episode begins with the cooks demonstrating they understand the featured restaurant during a preliminary challenge. In the second round, the three remaining contestants create a new dish for the restaurant. The dishes are served to diners whose votes determine which two cooks will move onto the final round. In the final round, the cooks have the opportunity to perfect their dishes based on comments they received from the diners before serving them to Ty, Emeril and representatives of the restaurant. Those representatives determine the winner, whose dish is put on the restaurant’s menu the next day.
