"COME DINE WITH ME" Series Premiere!

Based on the hit U.K. reality series, COME DINE WITH ME mixes home cooking with a helping of unpredictability when four amateur cooks from all walks of life compete against each other by bringing out their best in the kitchen and throwing a dinner party to determine "the host with the most." Complete with unique themes, locations and meals ranging from the sublime to the sorry, each host's performance will be critiqued and scored by the other contestants with brutal candor. The stakes are high, as whoever is deemed to have presented the best meal wins a cash prize. Produced by ITV Studios and hosted by Todd Pettengill (Dish Nation), COME DINE WITH ME is one dinner party you won't want to miss!
