MKR viewers make major demand of Channel Seven after record breaking episode: 'Please'

My Kitchen Rules fans were left wiping away the tears on Monday night after a record-breaking turn of events that saw Modern Italians Simone and Viviana make MKR history with the highest Instant Restaurant score ever seen in the series. The best friends from Queensland climbed to the top of the leaderboard with a total score of 104 out of 110, including a near-perfect 58 out of 60 from judges Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge.

The pair's entrée of Beef Tartare with Crumbed Yolk and Crostini put a twist on a traditional French dish -including apple in the tartare and use of lasagne sheets instead of bread impressing the judges. However, it was their main course - Simone’s own creation of Prawn and Potato Ravioli with Prawn Bisque - that had the whole table in rapture with Manu declaring it the “best dish” on MKR.

Simone and Viviana’s dessert of Millefoglie (a puff pastry layered with cream, with origins in France and Italy) also blew everyone away with Colin telling the emotional pair that they should be so proud.
