MasterChef recap: Michelin Stars and Walmart Steaks
(Please note that my blog is not endorsed or approved by MasterChef or Walmart, and that they would probably both prefer you not read it.

MasterChef recap: Prawns and Sweet Corn
Please note that my blog is not endorsed or approved by MasterChef and they would prefer you didn’t read it. This blog contains opinion only. I have no inside information about the judging process, only assumptions and uneducated guesses… Thanks to the very bizarre (and potently unfair) get-your-apron-back challenge, Josh is back, so we’ve got…

MasterChef Recap: Southern Queens and Sushi Teams
We’re down to only 7. And the mystery box on the stage is big enough to house an entire cow or side of beef. And had the commercials not spoiled it, I’d have NO clue that it was a mere human standing inside. I’m conflicted about the spoiling of the mystery box surprise…I’d have been…

MasterChef: Rancheros and Huevos
Today’s blog is brought to you by WalMart, which can figure out how to sell a dozen organic eggs for $3, but not how to make a commercial with decent actors. (That’s a joke, my blog is not endorsed by Walmart, though the link above will lead you to a fascinating article that talks about…

MasterChef 3: Food Trucks and Tortellini
All throughout my season, we kept waiting for the food truck challenge. Food trucks were all the rage throughout the country last year, and we just KNEW we’d have a food truck challenge. But they saved it for this season. A few short years ago, most American’s wouldn’t be caught dead eating at a food…

MasterChef 3: Breakfast and Lava
(Please note that all opinions in this blog are exactly that…opinions. I have no inside knowledge about how this season was filmed. My words should not be treated as fact, only as opinion.) So we start off Monday’s episode with the judges waking up the contestants in their hotel room at 3:30am. Just like Tanya,…

MasterChef Top 9: Scallops and Pigs
I think, by now, we’ve established the fact that I hate mystery boxes. So you can imagine that I’m less than thrilled that it’s time for another one. We lift our boxes and I see 3 massive, gorgeous scallops, still in their shells. “Diver’s scallops,” announces Gordon. That means these scallops are each foraged, by…

MasterChef: Mothers and Benedicts
So they drive us to Pasadena and drop us off at this MASSIVE swanky hotel, and I’m immediately afraid. If I have to cook cuisine that matches the sophistication of this place, I’m screwed. It’s a team challenge with Tracy and Giuseppe as team leads. I couldn’t be more conflicted about whose team I want…
