At the end of each episode, a taste test was conducted with the juding panel. Each judge tasted a sample of each dish and voted for hiis/her favorite. The restaurant that received more votes was declared the winner of that Food War. In the beggining of the series, the pnel consisted of two "super fans" - one of each restarant's most royal customers and fans - and three impartial judges consisting of local personalities and/or critics.
