Dining Dads Clinch $100,000 Prize in Nail-Biting 2025 My Kitchen Rules Finale

On November 16, 2025, the winners of the highly anticipated My Kitchen Rules grand final were announced, with the "dining dads" Justin and Will taking home the coveted $100,000 prize. The finale, which has been dubbed the closest in the show's history, saw the two teams go head-to-head, cooking up a storm in a race against time.

Justin and Will's menu, featuring a mix of heritage, fine dining, and trendy ingredients, ultimately won over the judges Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge. The duo scored an impressive 73 out of 80, just edging out runners-up Maria and Bailey by a single point in a nail-biting finish.

In an emotional moment, Will expressed his disbelief at the victory, saying, "I can't believe we've won the title." His partner Justin confessed, "I can't stop shaking," clearly overwhelmed by the achievement. Both contestants were visibly proud to have made their families, who were present at the grand final, proud.

The grand final was a true test of the teams' culinary skills, with both Justin and Will, and Maria and Bailey, pushing themselves to the limits to deliver four exceptional courses - a canapé, seafood, meat, and dessert dish. The judges were full of praise for the outstanding efforts of both teams, with Manu Feildel describing it as "the closest grand final I can remember."
