Brainerd Daily Dispatch, MN: Food May 26, 2019 to Jun 1, 2019 By Andrew Warren TV Media H as it really been 10 years since "MasterChef" first took Ameri- ca by storm? The cooking competi- tion, which chef Gordon Ramsay ("Hell's Kitchen") likes to proudly remind viewers is one of the big- gest in the world, first premiered back in 2010, and with no signs of slowing down, its landmark 10th season arrives Wednesday, May 29, on Fox. The judging lineup this season should look pretty familiar. It's un- changed from last year's, with chef Ramsay, chef Aarón Sánchez and restaurateur Joe Bastianich all back to offer advice and critiques to the contestants, and each week sending at least one of them home empty-handed. Unlike many other popular cooking competitions, such as Bra- vo's "Top Chef" or Food Network's "Chopped," "MasterChef" doesn't feature professional chefs compet- ing. Here, it's only amateurs, home cooks with masterful palates and dreams of making it big in the culi- nary industry. Being able to cook for someone as internationally ac- claimed as chef Ramsay or chef Sánchez is a dream come true for most of them, and even when their dishes are disasters, the judges' criticism is always helpful. Last season, MasterChef shook things up by having the three judg- es divide the contestants into teams that they then mentored throughout the competition. Not only did 25-year-old home cook Gerron Hurt take home the cool $250,000 prize and the coveted "MasterChef" trophy, but it was also a win for his mentor, Bastian- ich, who'd encouraged and guided him throughout the competition. Whether the mentoring system will return this season remains to be seen — a common criticism lev- eled against it was that we rarely ever saw the mentors actually, well, mentoring — but somehow, 10 seasons in, "MasterChef" con- tinues to feel fresh and exciting with each new season. A big part of that is no doubt the competitors. They're always a colorful bunch from all walks of life, bound to- gether by their shared love of cook- ing and desire to turn that love into a career. With nine seasons behind it, MasterChef is still going strong. Meet a new batch of culinary hope- fuls when the 10th season pre- mieres Wednesday, May 29, on Fox.
