Alex Polizzi takes on the difficult challenge of finding head chefs. She tackles the Gilpin, a fine-dining hotel in the Lake District. This much-loved family-run business is desperate to find a new executive head chef. After months of fruitless searching, the Cunliffe family have failed to find the right person who will care as much about their business as they do. They've now turned to Alex for help and are offering up to a six-figure salary for the right candidate. In this episode, the first three candidates are put through a gruelling hands-on interview process. Their first hurdle is the highly skilled task of filleting a halibut. The pressure is then on for them to create a Michelin-standard signature dish, but before then it's time for a face-to-face interview with Alex and the Cunliffe family. Will family man Simon impress with his enthusiasm, or will globe-trotting Frenchman Nicolas impress with his international CV?
