Masterchef: Professionals

[Kyrocera]

Anyone else watching this?

I love the early episodes with the skills test the most.

I generally don't bother with normal MasterChef but I do find watching the pro's who work in Michelin star restaurants crumble a bit on what should be a simple skills test for those at that level entertaining.

The pressure/stress in that environment must be incredible to make proper chefs lose it.

Yes its good when they get over their mistakes come back and smash it.

I still prefer Michelle Roux Jnr over Marcus.

I love the Professionals series more than the amateurs. i think this is proper Masterchef. They get a wide range of chefs so it's fascinating to see people trying to break through into fame.

Yep thats why I prefer Professionals.

You can usually tell whose gonna do well once they get past the first few challenges and I do normally pick a couple of favourites who I wanna see go to the end.

Only read this if you've watched the final...

Really glad Tom won it! Such a nice guy, from a family of cooks. Seriously talented I think he will probably develop into a top chef but stay grounded.

I really disliked the Danish restaurant bit with Rasmus Munk etc. That felt like proper ****. I'm all for his messaging & focusing people on the environment etc., but it felt so false and overblown. I reckon most people who eat there are proper ***** with too much money for their own good.

Yep full agree with the Danish restaurant bit. Such pretentious ******!
