Gordon Ramsay and cooking competitions have been a big part of the FOX schedule for a long time but nothing lasts forever. This time around, MasterChef is trying a new twist and has invited culinary legends to be part of the fun. Will these famous faces help to boost the ratings? Will MasterChef be cancelled or renewed for season 12? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A cooking competition, the MasterChef TV show features award-winning Chef Ramsay, acclaimed chef Aarón Sánchez, and renowned restaurateur Joe Bastianich as they judge the work of culinary competitors alongside iconic kitchen legends like Emeril Lagasse, Paula Deen, Roy Choi, Nancy Silverton, and Morimoto. For the first time, only 15 of the best home cooks in America will receive the coveted white apron and impress four legends with all new challenges, including the toughest yet — a head-to-head battle with Ramsay. Only one home cook will ultimately claim the Masterchef title, the $250,000 grand prize, a complete Viking kitchen, and kitchen tools and bakeware products from OXO.
