Revealed: Great British Menu contestant chefs 2009

COMPETITION:

Caterer has great competition on offer for all GMB fans.

All you need to do is tell us here what your "taste of home" is and why and you can win one of two tickets to a dinner cooked by seven of last year's finalists.

For more information and to enter go to Caterer's Editor's blog.

UPDATE: Welsh chefs competing in this year's Great British Menu are: Stephen Terry (The Hardwick, Abergavenny) and James Sommerin (The Crown at Whitebrook, Monmouth) 

While for Northern Ireland, Danny Millar (Balloo House, Killinchy) vs Clare Smyth (Gordon Ramsay Royal Hospital Road) go head to head.

Here it is; the line-up for the BBC's Great British Menu 2009, according to the Rat; pieced together through tittle-tattle and hard-nosed fact-digging journalism. However, it's a form of hard-nosed journalism that stops dead around Shropshire, because the Rat hasn't been able to find out either of the chefs competing in the Welsh heat. If you know then drop a line.

For the mean time, here's 95% of the list. There's a few old faces, a few new and (hoorah?) no Jenny Bond sticking her nose around about the kitchen with inane, grin-fixed questions. Instead there's the equally attractive past winners Sat Bains and Jason Atherton presenting.
