If you are like me and you have been missing MasterChef Junior, then I have some great news for you. Fox announced today that they renewed the cooking competition for young Chefs for another season.
This time around Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Tilly, will join him, Daphne Oz, and Aarón Sánchez as a judge.
“Blending fun, fast-paced competition with Gordon’s undeniable soft spot for kids, MasterChef Junior returns with a terrific new crop of young chefs ready to thrive under his invaluable mentorship,” said Allison Wallach, President, Unscripted Programming, of FOX Entertainment. “And new this season, Gordon’s talented daughter, Tilly, joins him on the judging panel, alongside the amazing Aarón Sánchez and Daphne Oz. Everyone at FOX and our terrific partners at Endemol Shine North America are delighted to welcome Tilly to the MasterChef Junior family!”
Season 9 returns in 2024! And I can’t wait to see what they are cooking up for us.
Tonight at 8p, MasterChef turns 250! And Fox gave the cooking competition series a present. They picked it up for season 14 with Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich, and, unfortunately, Aarón Sánchez returning as judges.
Allison Wallach, President Unscripted Programming, of FOX Entertainment said, “MasterChef is a beloved staple of the FOX brand. Its impressive performance this Summer and tonight’s 250th episode are a testament to the strength, distinction and longevity of this very special show.”
There truly is something special about this show because the home chefs really seem to like each other, even though they are competing for the grand prize of $250,000.
And if you want to compete on the new season, you have until August 18th to apply at MasterChef Casting.
Fox loves Gordon Ramsay and the money he brings to their network. So they announced today that they picked up Next Level Chef for not one but two more floors, I mean, seasons. That will bring the show’s total to four seasons.
“Serving up two more orders of Next Level Chef was an easy decision on the heels of an incredible sophomore season, propelled by its historic post-Super Bowl debut,” said Allison Wallach, President, Unscripted Programming, FOX Entertainment. “Gordon has orchestrated a series that brilliantly demands skill and creativity in a tri-level pressure cooker, delivering high stakes, high drama and some of the most innovative cooking I’ve ever seen.”
“I’m so thrilled that we’ll be bringing two more seasons of Next Level Chef to FOX,” said Ramsay. It’s the culinary gauntlet of cooking competition shows and we’re excited to continue to raise the bar!”
Along with NLC, Ramsay also hosts Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef, MasterChef Junior, and the upcoming Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars on Fox. The latter debuts on May 24th.
I wonder when he is going to add a sixth show to their schedule. And what it will be about. What is left? I am sure we will find out soon enough.
Nathan Evans, the man who sings the Sea Shanty, is going to be a guest on Next Level Chef tonight at 8p on Fox, and Nyesha Arrington, Richard Blais, and Gordon Ramsay sing the tune with him. Well, not exactly because the MasterChef said, “I’m definitely not singing any #seashanty’s on #NextLevelChef tonight…I’ll leave that to @nathanevanss!!”
So what will the contestants be doing tonight? They will be making an alcohol-based dish. They better make sure they grab the right wine for the fish and meat from the platform if that is the drink and protein they choose.
I can’t wait to see how many of them chug the leftover alcohol as they prepare their dishes for the Chefs! I would totally get wasted because you know it is the good stuff!
If you are like me and you have been missing Kitchen Nightmares, then you are going to be happy to hear that it is back on Tubi.
Since Gordon Ramsay is so busy with all of his other shows he is doing, he has passed the baton to a new chef. That chef is Former US Army Master Sergeant and White House Chef, Chef Andre Rush, and he is the Kitchen Commando.
As Ramsay said, he has the hugest arms he has ever seen. And after watching the first three episodes, I can tell you his heart is just as big.
Each week, Chef Rush is going to go to a new restaurant, and he will try to save it from closing. Of course, some are easier than others. Because it is not only about the food but it is also about trying to save the families from imploding due to the stress of working all the time.
In the first episode that is streaming now, Chef Rush is going to work with a couple and try to save their seafood restaurant Crab Boss. They have been working so much that they don’t have time to see their 1-year-old daughter. The reason why they are working so much is that they are going through like they do customers. And the customers are not loving the food.
What is Chef Rush going to do to help save this couple’s restaurant and their marriage? All I will say is that his four Ps are different than Ramsay’s. Because of that show has been revived with a new spirit.
When it comes to all the owners he has contact with, I find it interesting they think can they can ignore a chef who served in Army and worked for four presidents. If he could work in the White House, he can work anywhere, and he is afraid of no one.
As much of a nightmare it is that Ramsay has moved on, Chef Rush is a dream in the kitchen. You are going to love him as much as the presidents do!
So check out Tubi every Sunday for the next 9 Sundays for a new episode of their first reality show. If this is what they are doing with their first show, I can’t wait to see what else they give us.
