To see which team can dine in the most Michelin-star restaurants in 48 hours.</span></p> <p class="Body-P-P0" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; background-color: #ffffff; font-size: medium;"><span class="Body-C-C5" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.13em;">Followed &nbsp;by a film crew the teams will travel non-stop day and night dropping into restaurant at all hours just to sample a tasting dish before dashing back to their cars and driving (within the speed limit) off to their next restaurant.</span></p> <p class="Body-P-P0" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; background-color: #ffffff; font-size: medium;"><span class="Body-C-C5" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.13em;">The event is in support of Hospitality Action, the benevolent fund for the UK Hospitality Industry.
