My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2024’s Mike and Pete’s first and second Instant Restaurants didn’t exactly go as planned. But, will it be a case of practice makes perfect for the mates in the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round?
Mike and Pete are cooking against OG’s Simone and Viviana and Rob and Liam, as well as MKR Gatecrashers Maddie and Janey and Caz and Fergus in the Ultimate Instant Restaurant Round.
Mike and Pete have been buddies for a long time, and both have an Italian heritage. On MKR, they’ve claimed that Italian is their cuisine of choice, and it’s what they cooked in the first round.

How do Mike and Pete describe their cooking style?
According to Pete’s MKR bio, he likes to try new things when it comes to cooking.
“I am adventurous with my cooking and like to push myself, sometimes to my own detriment. I am pretty confident with balancing flavours but also love our traditional Italian cuisine,” he said.
Mike added that he learnt the fundamentals, which he believes helps make him a good cook.
“I think I have all the basic skills and a little more. I would say that I am a great home cook,” he said.
What are their Instagram accounts?
Mike’s Instagram is @mike.dellam, and you can also find his Facebook profile here. Pete’s Instagram profile is private, but — just in case he flicks the switch to the public — it’s @petiebee.
Are Mike and Pete single?
Nope! The men have been friends for decades and are in long-term relationships. Pete recently opened up about his struggle to conceive a child with his husband, Chris.
What have Mike and Pete cooked so far?
Mike and Pete’s Instant Restaurants are named Twisted Lemons, and they’ve opted for an Italian theme.
At their first, they served Crayfish Ravioli in Mariana Sauce for the entree, an Osso Buco with Soft Polenta and Broccolini for the main and Sicilian Cannoli with Ricotta for dessert.
Their entree and main course disappointed both their fellow contestants and the MKR judges. Colin Fassnidge said the entree didn’t taste like crayfish, and some of the meat in their main was undercooked and tough.
However, they finished the night with a perfect ten from both Pete and Manu for their dessert of Canneloni. Overall, they received a score of 72 out of 110.
The men’s second Instant Restaurant was a similar experience. They served Gnocchi with Burnt Butter Sage for the entree and Eye Fillet with Polenta Chips and Brussels Sprouts for the main. For dessert, they dished up Drunken Pear with Vanilla Ice cream.
They ended up scoring 70 out of 110, placing them third on the MKR 2024 leaderboard.
Will they top that score in the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round?
