MasterChef US season 13 premiered on Fox on Wednesday, May 24, at 8 pm ET. The episode featured several chefs from the North-East area trying to earn a spot in the competition by making their best signature dishes. While five chefs successfully impressed the judges, others had to go home empty-handed after being rejected.A 31-year-old party promoter from Brooklyn, Eddie, also auditioned for the show by preparing his own version of PistachioTres Leches with Pistachio Crumble, Raspberry Sauce, and Creme Anglaise. Judge Joe loved how the dish looked and called it “non-traditional.” He did not like the taste of it but said yes as he liked Eddie’s personality.MasterChef@MASTERCHEFonFOX @Jbastianich showing his nice side alert #MasterChef234🚨 @Jbastianich showing his nice side alert 🚨 #MasterChef https://t.co/aEhlWBTa5sAaron also said yes despite feeling that there was not enough sauce and moisture in the dish. Guest judge Daphne rejected the dish by saying there was no balance between the sauce and the cake. Judge Gordon also said no as he doubted that Eddie was not ready for the tough competition.While Eddie was disheartened by this, Joe pulled him aside and offered him a job in his own restaurant in New York. Everyone got emotional after the moment and Gordon even joked that seeing Joe like this was like “the eclipse once every 10 years.”MasterChef US fans were impressed by Joe's actions and praised him for "opening the door" for Eddie's future in the cooking world.Diva Foodies@DivaFoodies@Jbastianich you are a kind dude.

He rejected Richie’s dish, a Crispy Skin Salmon, saying that it was way too simple. However, Richie ultimately made it into the show.Joe also said no to Nino for her “amateur” Venison & Bok Choy Dumplings while the other judges praised her technical flare.
