The brand new episode of MasterChef US season 13 will air on Wednesday, June 7, at 8 pm ET only on Fox.
MasterChef US season 13's upcoming guest judge is Graham Elliot
In the forthcoming episode of MasterChef US season 13, the potential contestants from the West region battle it out to become the ultimate representatives who will represent their particular area in the Fox cooking competition.
In the upcoming promo clip, one of the contestants, who is also a hairstylist, is asked by Graham Elliot that if the tables were turned, what would he do to the judges. The contestant replied,
"Gordon, I like your hair so I keep the color the way it is but I would tone it a little bit."
Gordon Ramsay replied that they "will work around the gray bits at the side." In response, the contestant quipped that "everybody loves a silver fox." Adding to the banter, Joe Bastianich chimed in and asked,
"What about me?"
The obvious reply came,
"Joe, you will be my easiest client."
In the upcoming episode, the chefs of the West are ready to pick up their knives and spatulas to impress the judges with their unique dishes. The chefs have to create their personal signature dishes in 45 minutes in order to earn the white apron.
The guest judge, Graham Elliot, is a self-described "navy brat" with a global travel experience encompassing all fifty states who developed a deep passion for food that led him to pursue culinary education at Johnson & Wales University. In 2004, he was recognized as one of Food & Wine Magazine's "Best New Chefs," and at the age of 27, he became the youngest chef in the United States to receive a four-star rating from a major publication (Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times).
In May 2008, he opened his own restaurant, which achieved two Michelin stars, an achievement shared by only fifteen establishments nationwide. The same year, Elliot was honored as one of Crain's Chicago Business's "40 Under Forty," alongside notable figures like Oprah Winfrey and President Barack Obama, for whom Elliot had the privilege of cooking on his 49th birthday.
Food, to Elliot, is a form of expression and creativity that reflects his current self and what he wishes to cook for others. In the upcoming episode of MasterChef US season 13, he is looking for the same kind of enthusiasm in the MasterChef contestants.
