Ash and Amanda Huish went into the Australian reality television program ‘My Restaurant Rules’ as the undisputed underdogs. With no experience in the restaurant industry they often received harsh criticism throughout the filming of the series of their efforts to establish and run a restaurant from scratch. Despite this, however, the young couple succeeded. With a groundswell of Western Australian support, they won the series and the privilege to keep and continue to operate their restaurant in Perth , Room Nineteen. Business is still booming and they pride themselves on the fact that Room Nineteen promotes primarily Western Australian produce. The couple had just three weeks after their big win to plan their wedding which was held at Santa Maria College in Perth on June 19, 2004.
