MKR: Plate-gate debate erupts after top score

Well, colour us gobsmacked. After Tiffany and Giancarlo absolutely smashed their instant restaurant and took out the top score of the night, the conversation has taken a very interesting turn. It seems the only thing hotter than the chilli in their dish is the debate over whether the judges should be taking points off based on the *plates* the food is served on. Yes, you read that right – we’ve officially entered the realm of plate-gate.

The pair opened up to 7NEWS about the discussion that erupted on Tuesday night’s episode. Some might argue that if the food is a 10/10, who cares if the bowl is a little bit daggy? But others reckon presentation is part of the whole shebang, and if you’re going to be a top-scorer, the crockery should be just as polished as the jus. Tiffany and Giacarlo were quick to weigh in, and let’s just say they didn’t shy away from the controversy.

While we won’t spill the beans on every detail (you’ll have to watch the replay for the full drama), the couple made it clear they think the food should do the talking. After all, you can’t eat a plate – unless it’s made of chocolate, and we’re pretty sure that’s not on the menu. The whole thing has sparked a proper ripper of a debate among fans, and we’re here for it. So, what’s the verdict? Should the judges be serving up a side of crockery criticism, or is it time to let the flavours shine? Over to you, Australia.
