The Apprentice catering challenge

The ApprenticeIt's Wednesday night and what does that mean? Yes, The Apprentice is back on our TV screens. And tonight's episode sees the young contestants faced with a particularly interesting challenge: catering.

Sir Alan Sugar will challenge both the male and female teams to set up a catering service for busy professionals in the City. They'll be pitching for lunchtime business and creating menus for a canapé reception, and as well as sourcing the ingredients, they must make, deliver and serve all the food themselves.

"A recipe for disaster," I hear you say? Oh yes!

One of the catering companies involved in the challenge was Red Snapper Events, which lent its kitchens to the male team. Managing director Damian Clarkson told Kitchen Rat "they were hopeless".

"One of their ideas was to serve a peanut butter sandwich on brown bread in a brown box. That's way too much brown and miles off what anyone wants," he said.

Kitchen Rat tried to find out who hosted the girls team, which no doubt had some equally insightful ideas, but The Apprentice PR declined to give out their details.

"Thanks for your request, but I'm afraid we do not give out this sort of information," she said.

It is MI5 stuff so if you know anything, please get in touch. We won't give you up, promise.
