SWEET VICTORY FOR COAST PAIR
GOLD Coast team Alex Clark and Emily O’Kane came home with a sugar rush, plating a cracking Penicillin dessert to win My Kitchen Rules last night.
The hospitality couple scored 55 points out of 60 for their five-course menu – three points ahead of Victorian mums Kim Tran and Suong Pham.
It was a rollercoaster cook for both teams with Emily reduced to tears at one stage and Kim and Suong having an ugly spat backstage.
Drinks concultant Alex, 35, and restaurant supervisor Emily, 27, scored straight nines from Pete Evans, Manu Feildel, Guy Grossi, Karen Martini and Colin Fassnidge and a perfect 10 from Liz Egan.
“That was a grand final menu in every way,” Egan said.
The $250,000 prize gives Alex and Emily the money they need to open their own venue. “Winning My Kitchen Rules is our ticket to getting what we wanted, to making our dream a reality,” Alex said.
