MasterChef 2019 is down to its top 20 cooks. It took two full episodes to get to that point, as the trio of judges hosted auditions for Season 10.
Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sanchez, and Joe Bastianich are the three judges for Season 10, and they are offering a huge prize to the winner.
In addition to a prize of $250,000 and the MasterChef trophy, the 2019 winner will receive training at a restaurant owned by each of the judges.
Now that the top 20 home cooks have been selected the show can finally get started on the competition phase of Season 10. Below are clips from what will take place during Episode 3.
