Finding your next obsession
Finding your next obsession

Managing a successful restaurant is certainly not child's play and Drukkoker (pressure cooker) is definitely not your ordinary cooking competition. Five hopeful chefs and five entrepreneurs, or managers, enter the Drukkoker restaurant to find a potential business partner to build a new food brand together. The managers and chefs participate in five teams and will compete head-to-head to secure an investment of R300,000. Each duo gets the chance to take control of the Drukkoker restaurant to show what it takes to keep a business simmering and prove to their competitors that their food business has potential.
