MasterChef Gets Cooking!
Famed chef Gordon Ramsay is back for Round Two of his culinary smash hit and last summer’s highest-rated new
series, MASTERCHEF, Monday, June 6 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. After conducting a nationwide search, 100
of the best amateur cooks in America, including a police officer, an oil rig engineer, an interior designer, a forklift
operator, a professional poker player, a classical pianist and a tattoo shop owner, were flown to Los Angeles in the
hopes of becoming the next MASTERCHEF and walking away with the life-changing grand prize.
In the premiere episode, the hopefuls will prepare their signature dishes and present them to the renowned
MASTERCHEF judging panel: Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay; restaurateur and wine maker Joe Bastianich;
and the youngest four-star chef in America, Graham Elliot. The judges are looking for presentation, flavor, originality
and creativity, but most importantly – to have a chance – every contender must possess an immense passion for
food. The amateur cooks will be put through the paces, and only the most deserving among them will win the
coveted white apron and move on to the next round of the competition. One thing is certain in MASTERCHEF:
Winning will be no piece of cake.
On Tuesday, June 7 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) and Monday, June 13 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), the judges will continue to
winnow down the Top 100 and ultimately reveal the Top 38. The competition heats up as more hopefuls are
eliminated until the Top 18 are announced on Tuesday, June 14 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).
