Channel 4 announces Come Dine With Me: The Professionals
Each episode will see three local eateries come together to compete to try and claim the prestigious award and cash prize.
Professional chefs and restaurateurs will show off their best culinary skills to be named the best independent restaurant in their town, country or city.
Each restaurant will be represented by a partnership of two people and will welcome their rivals to sample a meal during normal dinner service, to judge the atmosphere, food and service.
