Dinner Date is a fun show that I worked on last year. It starts on Channel 7 on Tuesday 26th July at 9.30pm. Each week Manu will introduce us to a single guy or girl looking for love. After perusing five dinner menus, they will choose the three most appealing menus and embark on three blind dates with the successful chefs cooking their ambitious menus and hosting the date in their own home.
