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]
