MasterChef 3: Marines and Apple Pie
Today’s blog will be a bit different from previous ones. Instead of watching MasterChef in the peace and quite of my own home, where I could take notes and give you a detailed blow-by-blow, last night I watched MasterChef at a watch party in the home of Christine Ha, along with Michael Chen. It was…

MasterChef 3: Top 18 compete
So now we get down to the nitty-gritty…the top 18 are chosen and it’s time for them to enter the MasterChef kitchen for the first time. We get a nice product placement shot of the MasterChef Global Knives right there at the beginning. I will say that it was a treat working with the Global…

MasterChef 3: Top 18
I actually got to watch the third episode of MasterChef season 3 relatively on time tonight. I re-learned how much I hate tweeting live…I miss half the show and have to keep backing it up. This season is very, very strange. The pace is off. It’s either going so fast you can’t keep up, or…

MasterChef Season 3: Auditions
So I’ve been on the road for the past 3 weeks, and I missed the original airing of the MasterChef auditions. After a frantic arrival back in Dallas with barely enough time to cook for FRANK on Saturday, I finally had time to sit down and get caught up before the show airs tonight! The…

Aloha, Hawaii!
This Tuesday, January 10, I leave for Hawaii with Jennifer, Adrien, and Tracy from MasterChef to help with some benefits for a couple of VERY worthy charities on Oahu. YO! House is an organization that helps support homeless youth on Oahu. It’s actually illegal to be homeless in Hawaii if you’re under the age of…

Normally I make the cake batter first by creaming butter and sugar, adding the rest of the liquid ingredients, then the dry. …

The MasterChef Finale!
I CONFESS!!! I haven’t yet watched the 2 hours of the MasterChef finale. Sue me. I hosted a finale watch party at my favorite local restaurant last night, and more than 500 fans showed up who wanted to meet me, ask questions about the show, taste my pumpkin carrot cake, and while MasterChef was airing…

MasterChef: And Then There Were 4
Well…that was weird. Up to this point, watching MasterChef was unusual because I had LIVED every moment they showed on camera. Now I’m just watching my friends on TV, and have no idea what to expect. It’s kinda weird. My first impression is…Christian seems different in this episode. And I am wondering if it’s just…

A Post-Masterchef Perspective
I have just spent the past 5 hours reading a fraction of the 949 tweets, 549 emails, and 1752 Facebook messages that have been posted in the 300 minutes since MasterChef finished airing on the East Coast. (Update, as of 11pm August 10, about 24 hours after the show has ended, my email inbox has…

MasterChef: Shepherds Pie and Venison Backstrap
Today will be the last mystery box of MasterChef. After today, the final 4 will be announced and will go head-to-head in the semi finals. I have not won a single mystery box in this entire competition. And when I analyze my competitors, this is what I think: Christian – Sure, he may be a…
