The Heat is on...

Ireland"s answer to a new star chef is about to be decided on the RTE series HEAT and Mullingar is serving up its answer to the new kid on the block. (Chefs block that is!).Trevor Thornton has just made it to the final of the series which will take place tonight on Tuesday April 14 at 8.30pm on RTE 1 and he is now only one step away from being crowned HEAT champion 2009.From hundreds and hundreds of applicants the amateurs were whittled down to 20 wannabes who have been put through some of the most gruelling challenges they could imagine. From the white hot HEAT kitchen to cooking for expert judges, these chefs have proven their worth and truly earned their place in the final.Only two remain, Patricia George and Trevor Thornton. For the final they return to the Heat restaurant one last time and will be expected to cook the meals of their lives. And just to add on some extra pressure, there will be some well known faces in the restaurant. Who will stand the HEAT, and who will become HEAT Champion 2009?Mullingar is of course, are routing for the best. Chef Trevor Thornton.
