Michelle Roux picks his winning trainees

The competition was wide open last night as the seven trainees completed their last service in a bid to win one of two Academy of Food and Wine scholarships.
After eight weeks of training they were put to the test waiting hand and foot on their mentors at Michelle Roux's famous London restaurant, and expectations were running high.
While they are all stepped up their game and took on the roles given to them by Michelle, Ashley questioned why the Michelin star chef  had asked him to work the floor as a sommelier when he had his heart set on front of house.
But he needn't of worried, as both him and James were awarded the coveted front of house scholarships, despite there originally only being one place available. Michelle admitted he had been unable to choose between the pair so created another position.
The sommelier scholarship went to the youngest of the group Danielle, who couldn't believe her luck, even though she had proven to have a natural ability in describing at selling wines that evening.
And in a surprise end to the programme, Michelle's favourite former dinner lady Brooke was offered a job at  the Galvin at window's restaurant, managed by their trainer Fred Sirieix, something far better than a scholarship she said.
