The Hotplate
The Hotplate was an Australian cooking reality television series which aired on the Nine Network on 28 July 2015. The show consisted of state-based restaurants with teams travelling the country to dine in and score each other's restaurants. The restaurants were judged by British food writer and critic, Tom Parker Bowles and Melbourne restaurateur, Scott Pickett.[1] The show pit six established suburban restaurants against each other all striving for a leg up in the industry—and an extra $100,000 in the bank, Sydney's Guillaume Brahimi, the French-born chef, appeared as a special guest judge during all elimination episodes.[2]

Only one season of the program has been produced, following legal action from the Seven Network claiming the format is too similar to its own program My Kitchen Rules. Nine and Seven reached a settlement in which Nine agreed that no further seasons would be produced, and the inaugural season would never be replayed.[3]
Format
Local restaurant heroes from around the country will do battle over dinner, they will be judged on all aspects of the restaurant experience.[4] The worst performing teams will face elimination. The winner of the competition will receive $100,000 prize and realise their food dream.[5]

Stolen concept
On 2 August 2015, Network Seven launched a Federal Court case against Nine for plagiarism over their show My Kitchen Rules due to them "using almost identical casting, costuming, sets, music, promotion and judging processes to MKR...We believe Nine has appropriated Seven's My Kitchen Rules original format and related production elements, and contravened copyright. That's why we're in court" said a Network Seven spokesperson. The legal battle will ensue on Tuesday 4 August.[24] This follows after tension after Nine's Reno Rumble saw contestants from The Block competing against renovators from Seven's House Rules, however no legal proceedings followed because the contestants were no longer contracted to Seven.[25]
On 6 August 2015, the courts ruled in Nine's favour and allowed the network to air the program, with Seven expected to appeal the verdict.[26]
Cancellation
On 19 February 2016, Seven and Nine both lodged a mutually-agreed settlement in the Federal Court, Nine agreed not to produce any further episodes and not to rebroadcast or distribute the first season across the Nine Network, both sides paid their own legal costs.[27]
