MasterChef or otherwise known as MasterChef: The United Tastes of America, is all set to release its thirteenth season in 2023. The show has been around for a very long time, inspiring other international broadcast companies to make their own version of the show. The show is all ready to return to the screens with famous chef Gordon Ramsey, Joe Bastianich, and Aaron Sanchez as the judges.
Chef Gordon Ramsey is popular for a lot of reasons, and being extremely strict with the participants is one of them. Surely, the show’s contestants will have to pull up their socks and do their best to impress the judges. That a new season will be released was confirmed in 2022, and the theme of this season has just been revealed.
It is called the ‘United Tastes of America’, meaning that this time this competition will be held for people all over the country representing the food from different parts of America, i.e. West, Northeast, Midwest, and South.
The show is a fan favorite for many, inspiring many of us to get into the kitchen and do some cooking. The variety of dishes that the participants present, the drama added by the pauses right after the judges taste the food, and their final reactions all bring so much spice to our boring lives, making it impossible not to get hooked on the show.
MasterChef Season 13 Episode 1: The Plot
As the date of release of its first episode is getting closer, more information about the show is being made public creating even more excitement among fans. We know that the auditions for this season will be taking place in different parts of the country to get a diverse range of contestants from all over.
It has been revealed that the selected participants will be competing against each other in groups, with each group representing one particular region of the country, West, Midwest, Northeast, and South. Each group represents their home place and fights for the winning position as a representative of the same.
Much like the previous season, this time too, the show will introduce various tasks and challenges for the participants like the ‘state fair challenge’, a chain of ‘mystery boxes’, and probably one of the most stressful out of all, ‘the tag-team event’, this is where each group will be asked to make for the judges, a full three-course meal that is both finger-licking delicious and representative of their region.
It has been revealed that this season will be introducing some more celebrity judges that will feature on the show for some episodes. These celebrity judges will likely include Daphne Oz, Tiffany Derry, Andre Rush, and Graham Elliot, along with Kelsey Murphy, the winner from one of the previous seasons of the show.
While the pressure and stress are high for the contestants within the show, especially the pressure to impress one specific judge, Gordan Ramsey, the fans of the show continue to enjoy the show as a light-hearted watch.
