Best New Restaurant

Description: Opening a new restaurant isn't easy -- many last no more than two years because of financial difficulties. Owners of 16 restaurants try to get an early infusion of cash -- $100,000, to be precise -- by winning the first season of this competition series hosted by "Top Chef" head judge Tom Colicchio. The restaurants -- located in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Austin -- are paired based on common themes and given three tasks that challenge overall performance, strength of staff and clarity of concept. Colicchio chooses a winner in each of eight preliminary battles, with those restaurateurs advancing to the semifinals. There, head-to-head battles see the opening of pop-up restaurants based around the evolution of the concepts. In the finale, the staffs of the two remaining restaurants must run a service for 50 VIPs at one of Colicchio's New York restaurants.
