J\u2019Something appointed as judge on M-Net\u2019s new reality cooking show<\/strong>
\nMusic star, restaurateur and celebrity chef to dig in and dish out critique and praise in My Kitchen Rules SA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Platinum award-winning singer and songwriter, restaurateur and acclaimed food enthusiast J\u2019Something will be one of the two judges on M-Net\u2019s sizzling new cooking reality show My Kitchen Rules SA! Based on the popular Australian format, which had M-Net 101 audiences glued to their screens in the channel\u2019s daily reality slot recently, My Kitchen Rules South Africa will showcase a diverse range of local foodie pairs who will have to cook and entertain up a storm in order to go all the way to the final and win some fabulous prizes.<\/p>\n

It will be up to J\u2019Something and his fellow judge to navigate some choppy waters as 12 pairs of passionate South Africans put their reputations and their dining rooms on the line to wow with them with their flair for food. In a contest of sheer nerve, grit, determination and a whole lot of confidence, the teams of home cooks will have to serve up the hottest dishes in their homes on one pressure cooker night. Drama and tension will boil up; laughter and tears may erupt; and the timer will tick without mercy. With a big cash prize on offer, the knives are truly out. The judges as well as the final contestants will ultimately determine who stays and who gets the chop throughout the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honoured that J\u2019Something agreed to step into the role of judge on My Kitchen Rules SA,\u201d says M-Net\u2019s Head of Publicity, Lani Lombard. \u201cHe embodies a home cook who was so passionate about food that he turned it into a career for himself. Not only will he be able to relate to the pairs of contestants on the show, but given his vast experience in front of the cameras as well as in countless kitchens around South Africa, he will be right at home at the dinner tables of My Kitchen Rules SA.\u201d<\/p>\n

J\u2019Something (Joao Da Fonseca), who started his creative career as the lead singer of local house super group \u201cMi Casa\u201d, recently showed off his love for food as the host of his own popular cooking show Something\u2019s Cooking on M-Net\u2019s sister channel Mzansi Magic. J\u2019Something has also previously partnered with notable brands to execute campaigns captivating large audiences and is a regular feature at big culinary events such as The Good Food & Wine Show, headlining the event this year in three provinces with the likes of Michelin Star chefs Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen and Marco Pierre White, also featuring Reza Mahammad, Jenny Morris and Sarah Graham.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter being approached to appear on a variety of different television shows as a host, I have finally found a series that speaks to my heart and who I am: a show about home cooks,\u201d says J\u2019Something. \u201cThat\u2019s ultimately who I am too; a home cook! I am looking for South Africans who take home cooking and give it a big helping of finesse. People who are passionate about food and people that can simply put love on a plate.\u201d<\/p>\n
