Putting their heavy metal music and love of fast cars aside, ‘Bogan Besties' June Lyall and Stephanie Usmar are ready for round two of New Zealand's My Kitchen Rules tonight.

The best friends from Tauranga are up against nine other teams from around the country in the popular cooking show, which premiered on TV One on Sunday.

‘Bogan Besties' Stephanie Usmar and June Lyall will represent Tauranga in My Kitchen Rules NZ.

It's their shared love of black clothes, leather jackets, ‘bogan cars' and heavy metal that earned June, 37, and Steph, 42, their team slogan – and they're wearing it with pride.

'That's just our lifestyle; we swear, we burp, we own it. Hey that's who we are,” says June.

After meeting at a local tavern, the women's common interests – topped with an immense love of cooking – gave them almost instant best friend status.

When NZ's version of MKR came up, June saw a chance for adventure.

'I made Steph sign up for the show. I thought it'd be fun and exciting and I love to cook; I love food. So it's a passion for us.”

Along with their signature ‘bogan' dish of homemade fish and chips with beer and wine, they say their style of cooking is 100 per cent ‘Kiwi'.

'Our favourite ingredients are chillis, wine, cream, butter,” says June. 'Steph loves seafood and I love chicken.”

June, who drives a Dodge Charger, and Steph, who has a Holden Statesman, combine cars and food by making 'mean as picnics”.

'Grab our kids, chuck them in our cars and go for a cool cruise. We make it a destination in our cool cars and bring it all together: food, kids and cars are all part of our lives.”

Steph says viewers can expect a lot of laughter from the pair.

'Fun, laughter, lots of beeps and entertainment. I think they're going to find us very entertaining.”
