These programs combine the unrehearsed spontaneity of a reality television series with the structured culinary lessons of a traditional cooking show. Each episode begins at a culinary school where series host Marcel Biró prepares two entrees. Viewers are then taken to Biró's Restaurant, where they get a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the restaurant's back-of-house operation. As the guests arrive, they critique the two entrees prepared at the top of the episode.
