Review of Masterchef

Masterchef (V) (2010– )
7/10
A Work In Progress

Warning: Spoilers
Gordon Ramsey is becoming a brand name in television food programming. This series has all his signature trademarks. It is still a work in progress as well.

Like the mystery box challenge, this food contest has all the makings of fine cuisine. While the early shows were sometimes served raw, the cooking is getting better as the show adds to it's legacy.

It started with huge helpings of Ramsey, but now as it continues it's second run, the other judges are expanding their roles a bit. That is good as even though Ramsey seems to have limitless energy at times, there needs to be more balance and team effort from the judges to bring more perspectives to the contest.

The contestants to this one help make the show, but they always do. This one is a counter balance to Hell's Kitchen which makes the Professional Cooks look like hacks. This one gives us amateurs the chance to look the same way. That is a good thing as this is developing into a school where family recipes are often getting the professional eye from Ramsey and staff. This is the old fashioned way of sharing knowledge about food.

Season 1 taught the judges that Catfish can be done as a high class food. The diversity of contestants will soon prove other foods can do it too.
