Season 2


The dating competition series which puts love on the menu returns, serving up a new batch of hopeful singles looking to find true love through their love of good food.

Each week one lucky singleton gets to choose three blind dates, making their decision based on menus prepared by five prospective daters.

Their three chosen dates then cook them a meal in their own homes with the hope of impressing and making a romantic connection.

Will the night be as sweet as their menus, or will it all go up in flames?

After the three dates, the hopeful hosts prepare for a night out at a swanky restaurant but only one will be chosen, leaving the other two with a night in alone with a microwave meal.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Jaymal": The season premiere shines the spotlight on 27-year-old recruitment consultant Jaymal who is looking for "loving, family-style cooking made from one big pot".

Jaymal thinks he should be a comedian, but it seems not everyone who knows him agrees.

He has an adventurous palate with a taste for the sweeter things and considers himself a simple guy, looking for a simple girl who reflects his personality.

Jaymal is presented with five menus put together by five potential blind dates.

He chooses one menu for the prawns, one for the chocolate dipped strawberries, and one for the pudding his mommy makes.

One chosen dater is a consultant who thinks she has a split personality, another a bookworm whose love of reading was inspired by Twilight, and an aspiring makeup artist who says she's "everything but the kitchen sink".

Three very different ladies pull out the stop to impress, but which of the lovely ladies behind these menus will Jaymal ask on a second date?

Dinner Date is produced by Phoenix Productions in association with Quizzical Pictures.
