r/Masterchef

People come home after a long day of work, hoping for exciting exotic cuisine on the Global Gauntlet, and you present your viewers with…Eggs Benedict?

So, not only do you have the editing style of modern MasterChef (hearing from less than half of the contestants, the judges pretending they use the week’s sponsor in their own cooking, weak chefs being saved by their superior teammates, Joe sucking), but all you have at the end is 19 interchangeable variants of poached eggs and hollandaise?

Seriously, an Eggs Benedict only episode? Yeah, come back and talk to me when you’re serious about being a cooking show.

Do they get individual hotel rooms or is it a dorm situation like in Hells Kitchen? The dorms would suck so bad, having to be around and smelling each others farts all the time

I would love for him to just completely fuck up a dish he is cooking or have one of the contestants take a bite, spit it out, and tell him how it tastes like shit.

I know the show has historically featured promotions for brands like Walmart etc. but it’s so funny to watch Gordon exaggerate how good Eggland’s Best, who are definitely the best for sure at factory farming and turning the production of eggs into an industrial conveyor belt to produce the cheapest shittiest eggs from the most miserable hens. I’m going to get flamed by redditors but anyone who knows anything about poultry and egg supply chains knows that it’s hilarious for the best chefs in the world to glaze factory farmed products they wouldnt let within 50 miles of their own kitchens and restaurants.

I’ve been watching the latest seasons of MasterChef and Next Level Chef and here’s the frequent expressions I keep hearing from GR. Care to share more?

“Oh my goodness me!”
“Let’s get that right!”

..

I am watching the season 13 tryouts, they say repeatedly how steep the competition is, and how the smallest errors are sending people home, and then Jennifer and her plate is a mess and doesn't look finished (Gordon's observation), Joe calls it sloppy, her spicy cranberry sauce is thick, and her creme anglaise is overly thick (Tiffany's observation). Yet she gets the apron. There were others that had less flaws that were denied.

I dont know I think that they were a little harsh this past episode

I always imagine Joe being up at night on his bed while reading all these hateful comments against him on Masterchef. Then crying and trying to fall asleep but the tears make the pillow wet and he falls into despair.

Here is an idea for Masterchef Junior season 10, if they ever do a season 10 as there was no mentioning of any cancellation at all, and with ads on the adult show showing hotel resort hosting contests, I can assume it isn't cancelled but it isnt happening anytime soon, but here is the idea.

A Masterchef Legends like season, but in thie case the Legends would be either former junior or adult all stars and winners being the Legends introducing the challenges, with the kids learning from the all stars from both shows. They could have for example Christian from season 5 and 12 of adult introduce a Louisiana style challenge, or maybe Gerron a spice challenge, Christine Ha for Vietnamese, Che with the fire igniting one, and so much more. It would still have the prizes for season 9 of Junior with the trips, e-bikes, etc, bring either single or double eliminations in here. 4 judges with Gordon, Joe, Tiffany, and Daphne. Maybe also add a few legendary chefs as well like Morimato and others.

It would forgo the team challenges mostly (at least no outdoor or field challenges as I heard some of us think its too hard for kids and they should stay on the Masterchef kitchen all seasons, but maybe at least the tag team challenge comes back.

What idea for a season 10 would you do if they ever do a season 10?

I know people don't like her very much but I thought she was absolutely hilarious and pretty much all of her dishes looked amazing. She was at the top so many times and won so many team challenges as captain, and she consistently delivered strong performances. Yes some people think she veers into arrogance but I would argue that she is one of the strongest competitors the competition has ever seen. The same can be said for Becky from S3, who absolutely dominated

I'm not sure if this is the right place to write my concerns, about Gordon Ramsey shows. I think its disgusting that all of his cooking shows. No one wears hair nets, beard nets or gloves. Absolutely disgusting. Do they not wear them in his restaurants? They sure dont know much about food safe course.

Does anybody here know why Dino didn’t come back in s9? Every winner other than him seemed to come back the next season with a challenge or something. I’ve always wondered why my favorite winner never came back to celebrate his success.
