MasterChef Season 12 returned for an all-new episode on Wednesday night. The reality competition series was back for the final round of auditions this week. With only six spots left, the contestants had to give their best shot at a chance to fight for the title again. Fred Chang and Bri Baker were two such contestants who made a comeback-worthy dish and won an apron.
Their dishes were very bold choices, but they overpowered the other two contestant's dishes, winning them the apron and a chance to prove they're worthy of the title once again. Fans who watched Episode 3 of the competition series took to social media to share their excitement for the duo.
Fans are excited for Fred and Bri as their advance to the Top 20 on MasterChef: Back to Win.
On Twitter, fans shared their excitement for the two contestants who impressed the judges with their impeccable dishes.
Bri's and Fred's dishes on Masterchef
Bri and Fred first appeared on Season 10. Many would remember Fred for his infamous chocolate cake with chef Gordon Ramsay licking his plate. Bri, on the other hand, is recognized for her plating skills. While the duo was eliminated early on from their season, they gained a beautiful friendship.
While battling it out with two other contestants for a chance to win an apron, Bri and Fred revealed that they are good friends and have hosted various dining events together. Fighting for a second chance with 45 minutes on the clock, each had to prepare one dish that would impress the judges.
Fred decided to take the road less taken. He prepared a vegan and gluten-free dessert with cacao and tofu. While the judges were hesitant about his choice, they were shocked to see the dish come together. He prepared a dark chocolate and tofu mousse with kumquat puree, black cacao ash, and kinako crumble. His dessert was not dry despite using tofu, and all his flavors were met.
Bri also challenged herself with a unique dish. She presented a pan-seared seabass with fennel puree, tomato medley, pickled serrano peppers, and tomato water. While it might seem like there was a lot on the plate, the judges were thoroughly impressed with her dish.
