Fox’s popular cooking competition series MasterChef Junior returns to kick off season six on Friday, March 2, 2018 at 8pm ET/PT. Season six will begin with a special two-hour premiere featuring 40 young home cooks attempting to earn a spot in the season’s top 24.
MasterChef Junior season six marks the return of award-winning restaurateur Joe Bastianich who will once again help guide the young competitors through intense challenges. Bastianich was a judge for five seasons on MasterChef and for three seasons on MasterChef Junior. Chefs Gordon Ramsay and Christina Tosi are also back as judges on the popular cooking series which this season features competitors ages eight through 13.
Details on Season Six: “After a nationwide search, 40 of the best young home cooks between the ages of eight and thirteen have been given the chance to showcase their culinary abilities and passion for food through a series of delicious challenges in the MasterChef Junior kitchen. Only the best 12 female and 12 male junior chef-testants will move forward and earn a MasterChef Junior white apron.
This season, the kids will face exciting challenges, including a mystery box challenge with 26 ingredients, each representing a different letter of the alphabet, and a test during which they’ll cook a dish that represents their family heritage. Additionally, the young home cooks will prepare a meal for one lucky couple and their guests at their wedding reception, create the perfect chicken-and-waffle dish, compete in a Blue Apron mystery box challenge and power through the fan-favorite pop-up restaurant challenge, until one talented kid is named America’s next MasterChef Junior, taking home the MasterChef Junior trophy and $100,000 grand prize.”
