From the producers of the mega-hit franchise <em>90 Day Fianc\u00e9<\/em>, this new Food Network series premieres Thursday, June 30th @ 10PM ET\/PT and will also stream on discovery+. <em>Me or the Menu<\/em> shines a spotlight on some of the reasons that approximately 60 percent of restaurants fail and nearly 50 percent of marriages end in divorce, and while some of the featured couples have just opened the doors of their new restaurants, others are diving in headfirst hoping to make it to opening day. Despite being at different stages of their journeys, each couple feels the pressure to make their business and their relationship a success, but balancing a stressful restaurant start-up and the needs of a significant other may prove to be the ultimate test. These couples know that if they want to keep their restaurant dreams alive it won&#8217;t be easy, but they hope it will be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Me or the Menu<\/em> gives audiences an intimate look at the lives of four restaurateur couples chasing their dreams of owning a restaurant, but the stress it creates is like a pressure cooker as they navigate obstacles, conflicts, and tough decisions affecting their businesses and relationships,&#8221; said Jane Latman, President, Home &amp; Food Content, and Streaming, Warner Bros.
