It is the final regional heat and the nation's top professional chefs compete to cook at a banquet celebrating the heroes of the NHS. This week three chefs battle to represent Northern Ireland. Tommy Heaney, last year's regional winner and head chef at the award-winning Great House Hotel in south Wales, is taken on by two newcomers - Shauna Froydenlund, chef patron at Marcus Waring's two-Michelin-starred restaurant, and James Devine, the 2017 National Chef of the Year.\n\nAfter meeting their surprise veteran judge, the chefs get on with cooking their starters. Tommy Heaney hopes to elevate a breakfast to fine-dining standards with his tribute to NHS nightshift workers. James Devine also attempts an unusual breakfast-themed dish, transforming tea and toast into a banquet-worthy feast. And Shauna breaks away from her classical roots with her take on a potato curry, dedicated to NHS staff who come from overseas.
