this challenge MasterChef junior is a
show that consistently introduces us to
the youngest and best amateur chefs
these young talents are mentored by
three main judges who vary from season
to season in addition to those three
judges there are dynamite guest judges
that come in to see just what these
little chefs can do these are the top
ten guest judges from MasterChef junior
I didn't know there was gonna be a judge
Edward Lee the world of food is endless
it is always great when another chef
comes on to judge any cooking
competition but for MasterChef junior it
has to be even more exciting Edward Lee
is a mainstay in the culinary world when
the young chefs hear the accolades chef
Lee has they are anxious to see who it
is with multiple James Beard Award
nominations as well as being a large
figure in the southern food scene the
kids are beyond excited to see the chef
jasmine is very excited to see him and
connects with his style of cooking
immediately even though chef Lee is
traditionally a southern cook he decides
to take the amateur cooks on an
international journey this cannot be an
easy task for these young kids but they
have to figure out a way to tackle this
and make the best sushi nigiri and
tempura that they can the judges and
guest judge Edward Lee never lose faith
in the chef's as they work diligently to
make sure they get their ratio of fish
to rice right making sure they
prioritize their mise on+ and get
everything set up perfectly chef Edward
Lee gives the season five chef's an
almost impossible challenge but it is
without a doubt that they are up to the
challenge any happen master Kenobi is up
to the challenge
Julie Bowen like cocktail it is always
nice for the kids on MasterChef junior
to see a judge that they recognize Julie
Bowen is an actress recognizable from
her long-running stint as Claire Dunphy
on Modern Family
Julie's fiery Spirits is present the
second she walks into the kitchen and
you can see that the kids are excited to
begin cooking for her when Chef Ramsay
announces their guest judge she greets
Chef Ramsay with a friendly kiss which
does not go over well with Syd this is a
moment that reminds the audience that
these contestants are just kids as she
and Chef Ramsay are checking on the
contestants they stopped at Donovan in
this particular competition the amateur
cooks are honoring their mothers through
their food when asked what his mother
can cook Donovan gives an amazing answer
when Julie finds out that young Donovan
is making his own marshmallows
she is visibly shaken she is completely
astounded by the skill of this young
chef Julie brings a fun exciting energy
to the kitchen and the kids get excited
to cook for her Borden's mom Gordon
Ramsay is a name that is recognizable
throughout the world to his mother
though he is simply her son Gordon are
you gonna wash up Cork in this special
episode
Gordon's mother the woman who helped him
activate his love for cooking comes in
to judge the contestants in season two
of MasterChef junior this is a treat
because audiences as well as the
contestants get to see a more human side
of Gordon the presence of his mother
seems to soften Gordon a bit allowing
him to joke around and be a bit more
calm as they judged this particular
competition as a guest judge
Gordon's mother brought a kindness and
Cheer to the kitchen that only a mother
can bring Mayim Bialik that's shocking
to you starting with blossom at age 15
the alec has stayed in the limelight
with her starring role as Amy Farrah
Fowler on the Big Bang Theory having
already published a cookbook Bialik is
clearly up to date on what is happening
in the cooking world the home cooks are
very excited to see Bialik having known
her from her TV show a well-known vegan
the Alec placed a difficult challenge
before the contestants creating an
elevated dish that was beautiful
delicious and vegan Shane impressed with
his burger receiving praise from both
Mayim Bialik and Chef Ramsay Chef Ramsay
asked him if he'd go vegan but that
doesn't seem to be something that
interest Shane when it comes to Adams
falafel burger he gets a great
compliment from Christina this is a
pretty stunning take on a vegan burger
though he struggles a bit with his
potato dish due to the difficulties when
it comes to the varying vegan
ingredients he ultimately succeeds with
his falafel burger bialy brings a level
of expertise to show the cooks how to
cook in styles they are not necessarily
well-versed in these are vegan
Matilda Ramsay
who is a better cook you or your dad
definitely me if you know anything at
all about Gordon Ramsay's personal life
you know his family is incredibly
important to him so it is no surprise
for Gordon to bring his daughter Matilda
onto MasterChef junior as a guest judge
at first the contestants do not seem too
thrilled to be joined by another young
chef but their demeanor softened when
they see just who the special guest is
Matilda Ramsay comes in with a challenge
for the young season three contestants
to make salmon on fruits when going over
the ingredients
Matilda sounds a bit Americanized
Matilda worked as a great guest judge
because she was around the same age as
some of the contestants with a love of
food just as strong as fares
professionals well I'm a professional I
am serious and I'm a professional now
these are not your standard celebrity
judges these group of professionals
ranging from ballet dancers to NASA
scientists to Olympic athletes are the
type of guest judges never before seen
in the MasterChef junior kitchen
these are renowned professionals in
their field just as a MasterChef junior
contestants desire to be in their own
field not only will these guests be
judging the food but this is a
restaurant challenge where the
contestants must work in teams to get
the food out and make sure each dish is
perfect the ballet dancers enter as
gracefully as you would expect ballet
dancers - there are also doctors Cowboys
and pilots to round out the attendance
for the restaurant challenge when the
Olympic athletes enter though the mood
in the kitchen does shift these are
people the young contestant can
recognize these are great guest judges
because they create an elevated dining
room one to impress an honor these are
people who are consistently hard-working
just as the amateur chefs are Michelle
Obama she is the most popular person in
America there are times when a celebrity
guest judges defies all expectation
Gordon starts by picking up an important
looking red phone cluing the keen
observer in an audience member and on
just who the guests might be the kids
are visibly excited at the prospect of
who this mystery guest could be with
Secret Service and this bright red phone
the reveal is nothing short of
spectacular that's right the guest judge
here is none other than former firstly
michelle obama when the young chefs
finally see her their faces say it all
as a first lady who championed healthy
eating turn up what but only makes sense
for michelle obama to want to instill
the same values in these young chefs
michelle reiterates her passion upon
revealing the mystery box that was
inspired by the White House kitchen
garden to the chef's this challenge and
having Michelle Obama as the guest judge
really go hand in hand wife of Barack
loved gardening wants to wipe out fat
children Richard Blais very expensive to
runner up on this season of Top Chef and
the winner of Top Chef all-stars Richard
Blais is someone who knows just what
these amateur cooks are going through
Blais there's been both a contestant and
a judge on cutthroat kitchen a
contestant on chopped and a judge on
guy's grocery games
so it is safe to say that Richard Blais
knows what he is talking about I think
he knows what he's talking about the
excitement in the room was palpable and
it was clear that Richard had an affect
on one particular chef to have a chef
who inspired him to pursue molecular
gastronomy in front of him to taste his
food has been a dream for Athlon Blais
compliments the chef's on their skills
which is a big compliment coming from a
chef with his level of talent to have a
chef who has been through competitions
taste your food and know what you are
going through with the tension and
stress must be a wonderfully comforting
but daunting feeling Blais works as a
guest judge because of his experience
expertise and overall skill level
Muppets it's not quite a mop it's not
quite a puppet when the contestants on a
reality competition are kids you have to
make sure to give them a little bit of
fun every now and then
whether it's dowsing the judges and
frosting or dunking one in a milkshake
MasterChef junior never leaves the kids
without entertaining for long this time
though the entertainment came to the
contestants in the form of judges that
is in the form of the Muppets these
lucky contestants get the chance to cook
for and with Miss Piggy and the Swedish
Chef the season 5 contestants are
clearly excited about the chance to cook
for these famed characters later on in
the episode Miss Piggy is cooking
alongside the chefs
but isn't happy when she sees Gordon
helping Sydney not only that but she
calls him by the wrong name for the
second time
after this Gordon finally responds and
goes to help her but not before she
gives him a little bit of sass first
nothing like questioning the master
himself Miss Piggy these two work to not
only bring comic relief to the episode
but to remind the viewer that these are
just kids and need to have fun just as
much as they need to show the judges
what they can do show me what you got
Wolfgang Puck and Martha Stewart there
are very few judges on any television
show that could be described as
legendary
Gordon Ramsay is certainly one of them
but these two chefs definitely belong in
his company there are few names more
synonymous with good cooking than
Wolfgang Puck and Martha Stewart who
helped to judge the final two
contestants in season 5 of MasterChef
junior while these two all-star chefs
have been cooking longer than these
junior chefs have been alive it doesn't
mean the contestants on this season of
MasterChef junior cannot end up
impressing these two stars the entrance
of the two chefs is nothing short of
spectacular
and truths along with the response of
the previously eliminated chefs the
entire team is very excited for Wolfgang
Puck but Wolfgang is the one who thinks
he should be excited to give the chef's
the compliment that his son could not do
what these chefs are doing speaks
volumes
Gordon introduces Martha but it is hard
to do justice to people with such
storied careers like Wolfgang Puck and
Martha Stewart
Martha pays the compliment right back to
the two finalists congratulating them on
being such accomplished young cooks to
have these two cooking dynamos eat your
food would be stressful for any chef
whether an adult or young chef for these
two MasterChef junior finalists it had
to be both terrifying and a dream come
true to cook for these two people who
helped shape the world of cooking dream
