Envy has won the contract from the BBC to Post Produce The Restaurant. It features nine couples whose dream is to run their own eatery. They have to create their perfect restaurant and then open the doors to the paying public.
Every decision, every mistake they make, every argument they have, will be caught on camera. They are working and living together 24-hours a day, under huge pressure. Each week, one of the restaurants is eliminated from the competition by top restaurateur, Raymond Blanc, acting as judge. At the end of the run, the winners get to run their own restaurant, financially backed and personally supported by Raymond with a six-figure sum of his own money.
Raymond Blanc, widely acknowledged as one of the world's finest chefs, has held two Michelin stars for the last 22 years for his esteemed centre of excellence, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxford. Raymond has also run a scholarship programme for ten years.
He has been at the very top of the restaurant game for more than three decades and has trained some of the UK's most brilliant chefs, including Marco Pierre White, Michael Caines and Eric Chavot. Envy is providing the full Post Production package including off line/on line/grading and audio for this exciting new project.
