“Currently in its 13th season, MasterChef: United Tastes of America sees Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez and Joe Bastianich judge the ultimate cook-off, as the top home cooks from four parts of America (West, Northeast, Midwest and South) battle it out for their region. The home cooks have been faced with a multitude of cooking trials, including a State Fair challenge, a series of iconic Mystery Box challenges, cooking a meal at Dodger Stadium, and the fan-favorite Tag Team event, where they must create a Michelin-star quality three-course meal!
Only one home cook will win it all and take home the cash prize of $250,000 and the title of America’s MasterChef.”
