Masterchef Recap for 5/21/2025

 

Happy fifteen years, Masterchef!

Masterchef has a Dynamic Duos theme this season! For the first time, the Fox hit series will have pairs of cooks auditioning and working together.

Chef Gordon Ramsay is back with Chef Joe Bastianich and Chef Tiffany Derry!

Although they will be cooking in teams, they will all be judged as individuals.

Two teams will go head-to-head in the kitchen to make a meal in 30 minutes. The winners will get aprons.
