MasterChef Dishes That Left Judges SPEECHLESS!

here's a look at dishes that left the judges utterly speechless with this one setting a new standard for shocking moments yeah I'm talking about Claudia sandal one of the most well-deserving winners of Master [Applause] shf what really set her apart from the rest was her versatility she could handle any cuisine without batting an eyelid although Mexican Cuisine was her forte this fragrance that's nice as so perfumed delicious FL but well aside from all the culinary whiz Claudia had a funny side to her as well great emotions and there's even tears crocodile tears even from a judge Like Yours Truly While most of her time on the show was remarkable the finale kicked off at a whole new level Claudia made some tamales with Mexican Truffles and believe me they were totally out of this world Claudia was certain that she knocked it out of the park she was so moved by the flavor that she couldn't even get a grip of her emotions and hey she had a good reason to react like that because here's a quick look at Chef Ramsey's reaction to her dish tasting your own food and then crying wow that's a first the wheat L Co tamale with cactus salsa avocado kma and chaerin was a sight to Behold a cactus salsa finished off with an avocado and a crispy pork chicharon it was exactly what the judges expected simple yet elevated all three judges couldn't stop raving about the dish while Ramsey was all about its appearance Graham loved the balance and flavor and Christina Well she was completely sold on the dish anyway with that Claudia then moved on to the Entre and this time she served a swordfish with Mexican squash and chickpeas grilled swordfish served over sa chaote and fresh chickpeas and Mexican squash on top now the competition was getting tough as Derrick had plated a wonderful dish of his own but Claudia's was no less good root vegetables a huckleberry sauce and a puff pastry cage going by the looks of it Chef Ramsey started to worry if the dish was dry but well here's a look at how things went that vibrant I want more of it this is your most accomplished dish that you've ever cooked in this competition however the dessert round took a dramatic turn for Claudia water splashed inside when I moved the tray this is like worst case yeah sadly due to a little slip up she had to start working on her flame molds all over again meanwhile over on the other side Derrik was dealing with his own mess when it was time for judgment Claudia presented a hibiscus poach pear dish and it is 100% all about the pear their tender and well I think you have a fair idea of how the season ended cloudia see Claudia's culinary Journey had its ups and downs but in the end she delivered on all fronts today Claudia is running her own catering and consulting company all the while looking after her precious daughter like a queen but here comes another contestant who has received mixed opinions from the judges and viewers alike I'm talking about subha more specifically when a chicken and sausage jambalaya was presented the judges now this dude was pretty confident in himself gorgeous are you nervous at all I'm making Cajun dish and I'm an Indian that's what I'm nervous but let's see what the judges have to say oh boy wow well I guess wow is the word of the day but the story isn't over yet Chef Ramsey had a surprise up his sleeve that was both jaw-dropping and heartwarming would you mind I'll help you in thank you yes Chef Ramsey brought in soba's own mom to dish out the final judgments and I'm sure subba never expected that to happen Sor with a jump you okay this is so special now he might have run into some troubles much later on the show but hey during the auditions the dude totally earned that apron now let's move on to the ultimate street food Showdown well come Feast your eyes on this mouthwatering masterpiece a fried chicken burger with duck fat potatoes what did you cook a fried chicken burger with some mayo AA and a light when it was time for the tasting the judge's reaction was totally unexpected oh good tasty crunchy it's got the textures to it so what about the other judges well sounds like everyone was taken with the dish is it tasty yeah absolutely is a chicken crunchy yes absolutely well you have to agree that did look delicious but you know what this reminds me of Sashi chelia The Culinary wizard who owned Master Chef Australia 2018 with his amazing dishes when it comes to him you already know we're in for a trait I mean do you remember the time when he presented this the biggest concern is making sure the chicken is cooked wow talk about the perfect dish but here's the kicker would he be able to pull it off in time the time was ticking and it was only a matter of time until he could get that chicken on the table I just hope that this chicken works out I don't have the time to check whether my chicken is cooked and what do you know he totally nailed it and here's a look at how the judges reacted here we go 10 seconds van you blame them this dish was cooked perfectly and the compliments kept rolling in favor of the dish it's just absolutely perfect the balance is spot on what's more people flooded the comment section with praise and complimenting his quick thinking just like this viewer here who said Sashi managed to efficiently improvise adapt and overcome to beat the odds I like how Sashi thought of a solution when the breast was undercooked he pulled off the mindset of improvise overcome and adapt Sashi had truly poured his heart and soul into that dish and the result was pure magic but now we've got Elizabeth in the kitchen and let me tell you the judge's reactions to what she was making were on a completely different level and look no further than her breakfast lasagna served alongside an artichoke heart salad while the judges weren't too sure about it at least on paper here's how it turned out Don Shantal and P and a salad of baby artichoke carts with capers I mean Joe was taking his sweet time to slice into the dish because he probably didn't want to destroy it that's how immaculate it was and what's inside of it layers of bashel with B then I mixed in the Chant and the p and when it was time to dish out the comments the judges couldn't hold themselves back wow that's great this is amazing and well they simply couldn't stop singing its Praises it's like taking a trip to Italy great job beautiful yeah it's just one of those times when the dish completely stole the show single-handedly speaking of remember Fred the magician well he wasn't exactly a magician but boy did he bring magic to his plate I mean just look at how gorgeous his cre here is it was literally like a piece of art what do you think a black vinegar and ovaline Infused chocolate cake with moed Mone and I'm sure it took a ton of ingredients and a tremendous amount of effort to pull off a chocolate Masterpiece on that scale now fast forward to the taste test and let's see what the judges had to say about it delous serious thank you this is all the superlatives you give dessert well what do you know the judges loved every last bite of it this dish was pure Artistry and it's no surprise they were head over heels for it no but but it's also so smart because it's all those things but it's not and nope they didn't stop at just a few compliments oh no they kept them coming one after the other but just when you thought they were done you won't what Chef Ramsey did we struggle with making decisions and I think that says it all right there yeah he straight up lick the plate clean now the closest Chef Ramsey has come to doing that is when Dustin presented the judges with a classic sausage roll listen to that noise would this be like a main course or oh man did you hear that just the sound of that crispy puff pastry was enough to get the judges [Music] excited at first there was a complete silence but right after they took a dive for a second mouthful that's some for the rest of us oh well it looks like Chef Ramsey was once again on a mission to finish the plate all by [Music] himself well I guess his actions speak louder than words Chef Ramsey literally left nothing for the other judges to taste delicious thank you so much thank you I appreciate that I mean no doubt he totally earned the win but is a video of impressive dishes ever complete without bringing up Reynold poromo on you my friend bring it up oh yeah that dude totally stole the show this guy's a real genius I mean he always had a mind-blowing dish up his sleeve but there is one Masterpiece that stood out from the rest when Reynolds stepped up and started explaining his dish to the judges let me tell you the list of ingredients sounded absolutely Heavenly Jasmine gelato coconut and Frozen ganache wow could it get any better Reynold's ability to consistently Elevate his dishes to new heights was a Hallmark of his time on season 12 but it was white noise that really took the cake by the way that name's pretty cool huh well I'll tell you one thing the flavors he packed into it definitely lived up to that name that's for sure and when they first opened it up there was no holding back the wave of Praise that was coming his way it's almost a shame to ruin it you know it's on another level when the judges are feeling guilty about eating it you know the whole point of food but hold on it gets even better not only did it look like a work of art but it tasted like one too and Chef Ramsey was there so if there was even the slightest problem with it he'd definitely have made it known it just tastes as good as it looks in fact it tastes actually better which is very hard for Desert when so pleasing to the art the judges were so impressed that they started clapping for him when they finished with their long list of compliments I mean it just feels right right Reynold had completely knocked their socks off so anything less would honestly feel like an insult what's even more mind-blowing is that all of this went down in the beginning of the competition nobody saw it coming and everybody else had a tough act to follow for sure but that's what makes Master Chef so darn exciting it's those moments of Genius popping up where you least expect them that's why I keep coming back to the show for sure well although Reynold didn't win the competition he did manage to win a few Hearts I love how people know Reynold more than the actual winners he's just the goat people gushed about how he is still remembered more than the actual winners and well desserts are not he's surely the goat and well there's more than one viewer to back this comment the best dessert Chef in entire Master Chef history period yep he's considered to be the best Desert chef in the entire history of the show and trust me when I say this he earned the title but now let's think outside of desserts and dive straight into the panser Arctic CH Mary Bird totally aced this Challenge and let me tell you this when it comes to cooking there's no stopping her I mean just listen to her describing the dish and you'll know what I'm talking about paner arctic char with a blueberry red wine reduction and a carrot puree well well well looks like the chef's a bit unsure about the combo huh but how did Mary handle it well you'll be surprised I'm I'm nervous but I I think it'll be good Mary totally made it work this dish was like a foodie dream come true this is a pan seared arctic char with a blueberry wine reduction and But Here Comes the million-dollar question would it taste as good as it looked well let's see what the judges have to say about it it's fantastic the compliments were pouring in and well she earned every bit of that Applause in my book you intensified those aromatic notes of the Cassis the now I have talked about Christine and her perfectly crafted apple pie to death in my previous videos but what happened in the second Mystery Box challenge was way more intriguing so this time guess what lay inside those boxes fil brains lamb heart B's testicles Pig's kidney cow's tongue and a delicious Lamb's head while Christine felt glad she was spared the ghastly sight she eventually made panko fried sweet bread served with buck Choy a great accomplishment thank you so much sir congratulations thank you and yeah it was a hit however Ryan turned out to be the winner this time this meant Christine had to compete in the subsequent Elimination Challenge and Ryan smartly strategized to exploit all her weaknesses he was in charge of choosing who could cook with aive crab and who would cook with canned meat and Ryan spared no expense in trying to eliminate his strongest competitor she might be a little bit thrown by working with the fresh crab and I think it might be a little bit of a tougher ingredient for her so I'm going to give her fresh crab and the fresh crab you're clever Ryan No More Mr Nice Guy now this was a cunning move and I'm not the only one who thought so in the master chef kitchen that's hoping for the canned crab Monty stole my words when she said gives a live crab to the blind chick but in Christine's reaction video to that episode she revealed she was actually cool with it and held no grudge against Ryan instead of getting all worked up she actually appreciated it why because it showed that Ryan saw her as a real Contender someone to take seriously in the competition and just like Ryan expected Christine had some trouble with that crab and at one point it got her ouch she even needed medical help in the aftermath it pierced me medic it's not too deep now would you look at that evil grin on Ryan's face however the judges understandably were a tad worried I mean who wouldn't be right but guess what when judgment came Christine did what she did best every freaking time like an angel good job thank you seriously yep she knocked it out of the park are you really blind yes chef I am what color eyes have I got I have no idea Chef I've been asking people here actually to describe all of you to me so I could figure out what you all look like Chef Ramsey was straight up floor I mean he was in complete disbelief it was a total GameChanger Ryan who probably thought he'd throw Christine off her game ended up making Christine Knight Unstoppable oh yeah Christine's dish was so phenomenal that his strategy completely backfired and then in the breakfast challenge we got a taste of her vocal leadership and needless to say the judges were impressed yet again a vocal is extraordin she taking control more importantly now there's great communication going on you guys need to worry about that well she surely led her team to Victory I'm like I've climbed that entire ladder from bottom to top red team congratulations but hey it's not always the best dishes that leave the judges speechless because when communication falls apart teamwork crumbles and above all you got a seriously bad leader on top well that's exactly what went down in season 6 episode 4 when the contestants dove into their first Team Challenge anyway they were going to be dishing out hamburger with onion rings and klaa alongside fish and chips to the hungry crowds at Nots Berry Farm but here's the twist there was no set number of diners anyone walking through that gate had to be fed by both teams who also had the privilege of voting for The Winning dish Dara took the Reigns of the blue team but right from the start they struggled to find their groove in the kitchen what's shocking is that with just 10 minutes left on the clock not a single portion of fish was cooked clodia how many burgers have you got mate Jeff Ramsay's jaw literally Hit the Floor he rallied The Blue Team demanding they get their act together he was so Furious that he told Dara straight up to skip the challenge and head straight for the pressure test if that was more her thing but then Claudia swooped in like a savior to tackle the fish station yet things quickly went South when the blue team was about to serve raw fish to a child can have a fish stop stop stop the fish is wrong draw draw yeah talk about a close call I guess not even Claudia was able to save the service and obviously Chef Ramsey's patience was pushed to the Limit after staring down this train wreck of a service all day hey blue team I promise you now I'll close this down one more raw fish but do you know what's worse naming a dish after yourself let me introduce you to Brian O'Brien so nice they named him twice but maybe shouldn't have named his dish Thrice or uh something anyway ramsy and Tony couldn't help but exchange glances when the so-called fet O'Brien was put in front of that this is the filet O'Brien but in spite of that Brian looked pretty proud of his opponent Miss fet but let me tell you that Pride was definitely misplaced because instead of being impressed Tony couldn't resist taking a jab at brine over it so you've catapulted yourself with the Great Cooks of the world absolutely the sarcasm was real Jeff Ramsey meanwhile found the whole situation absolutely hilarious stop stop F o' Brian my name is Brian O'Brien so you named it after yourself I named it after anyway when a scene straight out of Hell's Kitchen makes its way into Master Chef it's only a matter of time before things get intense and that's that's exactly what happened in this season 8 episode considering they had to feed a group of people about the size of a small country and it wasn't too long when Chef Ramsey spotted a bowl filled with only Center slices and he couldn't figure what happened to the rest and eventually Jason sent him over the edge we just wanted to have a nicer presentation so we choose the uniform cuts that are in the middle Chef Ramsey couldn't believe it the dude had butchered the most expensive meat in the country beyond recognition for that yeah Chef Ramsey got real pissed real quick but you can't just trash that it's not s understand so the contestants scrambled to fix the error before it was too late to make things worse the ends of the chunk of meat were still underdone so you can imagine how raw the center portion was the first slice that is raw what' you do that's it I am completely embarrassed well that surely got a hurt his image for the next few years to come but hey at least he didn't serve the judges their own heads on a platter yeah I'm talking about the time when Audrey stepped up with a pretty nice or nasty surprise in store of the judges case but they weren't just any old cakes next hopeful figured out how to get her cakes ahead in the competition however fortunately for Audrey all she needed was an opening to get the judge's attention and she definitely accomplished that look at Joe looks like a br bad and that wasn't the only thing she managed to accomplish I actually found one picture on the internet of you smiling bloody H's about still while the judges were amused they were also pretty perplexed considering that those caricatures were more horrifying than inviting and it did didn't help that by sticking them into the cakes they completely disintegrated some but in spite of the creepy caricatures destroyed cakes and a massive dose of plain old confusion Audrey's creation was actually pretty spectacular damn it gr just killed over his cake yeah I know I thought she was screwed as soon as her cake fell apart but she actually walked away with an apron here but not before even the narrator took a moment to get in on the action Gordon bites his own head off man I love this show prepared to be amazed as this next dish had the judges at a complete loss for words when it comes to Joe he and the trash are old friends but there have also been a bunch of dishes that have left him speechless wow just like this time when one contestant brought a whole new twist to the table now get this if you're going to take part in a cooking competition you should know that it takes more than just skill to impress the judges it takes heart creativity and a Magic Touch to make an impression and guess what this contestant right here had it all yes I'm talking about Sue a food blogger from Houston who was featured in season 11 but here's the thing Sue wasn't just a regular blogger she was a passionate food lover with roots in Burma a place where every meal tells a story of resilience and gratitude just like home with a lot more people so when it was time to present her signature dish she decided to present a tantalize ining burmes noodle soup with shrimp and coconut curry as a tribute to her Homeland when Chef Sanchez and Joe walked in to check over her station Joe was already all in for Sue dish that looks amazing well I think we've already got ourselves our winner and no it didn't stop and started the dish it was the passion for a country that won our hearts I come from a third world country we have to eat so that we can survive so we are already grateful to have a bowl of rice every day where it came from Sue was briming with determination to bring some of the most exotic dishes to Master Chef and the judges were soon to see that shall we taste as the judges dug into Sue's Creation the room filled with anticipation I have a thing that I say not to too many people which is food of love and well there was more appreciation Yet to Come her way and this here Sue yes chef is food of Love well done thank you thank you very much Chef I'm very humbl that must have been one of the biggest compliments anyone who calls himself a chef can receive even Sanchez couldn't help but praise her creation that is truly something special it means a lot to me Chef now when it came to Joe one thing was clear he was already sold I made that much Clear earlier but when he actually started talking there was no room for doubt a profound immersion into bur's Cuisine thank you very much Joe this dish undoubtedly stood out as a true Masterpiece transcending cultural boundaries with its exceptional taste and execution as for Chef ramsy well he was just plain wholesome it's the best dish I've tasted all night as the praise poured in Sue found herself standing there totally blown away her eyes sparkling with joy and gratitude suddenly it hit her her cooking wasn't just about making good food well it was about touching people's hearts and taste buds alike and man did you leave an impression so when it came to handing out that apron there was no doubt in anyone's mind that it belonged to sue congratulations come out a than lady thank you very much but hold on turns out Joe and the judges were itching for her to leave but maybe not for the reason you'd instinctively expect and go away so we can finish eating the rest of if someone were to dismiss me for such a trivial reason I'd be absolutely thrilled it was quite evident that Joe was thoroughly enjoying himself which came as a complete shock considering his usual well everything attitude taste you name it sue master of one exceptional dish was enough to solidify her standing in the competition but hey she wasn't the only one that managed to impress the unimpressive Joe because this contestant from season 13 left him speechless I'm porv from east vsor New Jersey my specialty is American and Indian Fusion cooking I'm talking about pervy a culinary Enthusiast known for infusing Indian flavors into her dishes in episode 1 she was all set to bring her aame in hopes of snatching an apron Indian Community in New Jersey is really really big I feel so proud to represent them I'm making Bunch cakes with Indian flavors the pressure on her shoulders was something else man I mean not only did she have to impress the judges to make it on to Master Chef but she also had the weight of everyone from India counting on her success talk about a heavy load and then her desserts the vanilla bun cakes with all the amazing Indian spices mixed in could it be the golden ticket that could lead her to success in the competition I've been doing this for last 21 years I can do this in my sleep all right so when it came to the judge's verdict they were totally hooked in from the start seriously intrigued by what she had whipped up wow I love it it reminds me of like an Indian festival wedding when there's just color there's Vibrance everywhere it looks stunning I'm Dy to get in there when a dish looks as beautiful and vibrant as hers I'd expect nothing less I mean if it were me I'd never dig in because just look at that I'd honestly feel so bad ruining such a work of art and the judges thought so too oh look how moist it is Joe who usually takes his sweet time to give a verdict was the first one to take a crack at describing what was in front of him yeah really good I just got back from India the most incredible flavors gives me a new appreciation of tasting your dish you know what that dish was seriously off the charts like mind-blowingly good he was so absolutely floored by how delicious it was that he didn't even bother waiting for the rest of the gang to chime in with their thoughts before throwing his boote into the ring it was like he couldn't contain his excitement and just had to let everyone know how awesome it was right then and there it's a yes for me I really liked it thank you so much it means a lot now I don't know how often you've seen him make a vote like that but for me it's a rare sight for sure as for the other judges they obviously shared the same excitement that Joe did this bite it is so moist and fluffy like it has levity and Balan death thank thank you so much pervy couldn't contain her Joy when she saw how the judge just thoroughly enjoyed her dish she was overwhelmed by the impact her creation had made watching the judges savoring every bite felt like a Victorious moment one that she would remember for a long long time and let's be real this vote was probably the easiest decision ever made in the history of Master Chef like no contest right but Sanchez you know he totally tried to spice things up right in the middle of everything like seriously talk about drama I'm not going to say yes just yet okay so I have to think about this for a little bit however let's be real here it was pretty obvious he was just trying to grab some attention yet again I mean come on a little while later he caved in and gave up classic move am I right right all right all right all right for me it's absolute yes yeah he couldn't wait any longer as for Chef Ramsay well he decided to Dive Right In at the first given opportunity it's a ReSound a yes thank you so much that's four yeses congratulations congratulations thank you in the end with a resounding yes from each judge pv's dish became the highlight of the night but it was Joe's unexpected response that steals the show now you have to agree this dish set a standard especially in Joe's eyes and this next contestant came in close competition in the high stakes kitchen of Master Chef one single misstep can lead to a disaster but sometimes admit all the pressure contestants managed to leave even the most season judges stunned just like this time when a 46-year-old Boston native blew the judge's Minds I've always wanted to give people the great food that I give my family this is my opportunity to do that you see Kenny may be from Boston but his roots now that was something both him and Joe had in common I had great grandparents that came from Naples and Sicily so I had influences from all the regions of Italy but let's see if that actually works in his favor cuz you know it may only serve to give Joe an excuse to judge him even harder so what happened is when Sanchez and Joe walked in to check in on him Joe was quick to notice this odd connection what's your name my name's Kenny Palazo no doubt that you're from Boston I am definitely from Little Italy and then off of Boston I mean given the circumstances his reaction was pretty normal the connection to someone from the same country as you in a foreign land is just something else as for the dish it wouldn't take a genius to guess what Kenny Was preparing a New York strip boltini salt and bua stuff with and cheese well isn't it just so fitting that Kenny went with an Italian classic like New York strip bracho I mean he was all for embracing his roots paying homage to his family's culinary Legacy but get this it wasn't just about the dish itself nah it was something totally different that really showcased his Heritage in a whole new light what what do you say what kind of Italian do you speak speak North and Italian man let me tell you I saw it from a mile away that Joe would jump on the accent bandwagon and guess what when the Moment of Truth arrived and everyone was presenting their dishes is Kenny not only managed to win Joe over with his cooking skills but also captured his heart in the process it was like a double win for Kenny leaving Joe absolutely smitten in I brought you a New York strip boltini salt Uka on a bed of vegetable risotto no doubt the judges were blown away by just the plating of his dish look at that presentation Vis you've got it going on there my man I did my best it looked visually stunning but would it deliver on Flavor now this is where Joe really started to worry he couldn't help but wonder if Kenny's dish would really live up to the hype the brazal not student tomato sauce it's basically a grilled stuffed steak so this is an interpretation of what would be classic Italian the dish was an interpretation of classic Italian cuisine and I don't have to tell you how important this was for Joe as the judges took their first bite anticipation hung in the air and then it was time for the verdict that's wonderful you defied the odds because I'm amazed you got that texture from a New York strip the judges were all here here for the dish and Kenny well let's just say his grin could light up the whole kitchen but the judges realized that there was a tiny tiny flaw it does need homework on that risoto I needed another 2 minutes the risoto may have needed a little bit more time but it seems like Joe didn't care cuz if you replay the clip you'll see how he was itching to go in for another bite the dish was a hit in his books anyway despite the minor flaw the judges saw the potential Kenny had I can taste the passion that's evident for me is an absolute yes Kenny was able to create a dish that was near perfect within that given time frame and this was proof of his impeccable skills it's really impressive 100% yes for an apron for you as for Joe he was willing to turn a blind eye to the minor flaw because well he was already impressed beyond measure and maybe just a little biased maybe it's far from traditional but it's well executed you see the dish may not have been as traditional as he expected it to be but he couldn't help but shower with compliments and I think it's a really good interpretation of your personality into a tradition of Italian food honestly it was a pretty easy win for [Music] Kenny and believe me he was more than grateful for having received the apron specifically because it was handed down by Joe Joe basan to hear him say that he believed in me and handed me that apron such a surreal moment in my life I'll never forget it well this one dish propelled Kenny to being one of the top contestants on the show but that's a story for another time so let's move on if you ask me I think season 12 of Master Chef was in a whole different league with contestants from the previous Seasons coming together to fight for the win once again and in this battle if there's one guy who stole the spotlight with minimum effort it definitely has to be Michael it takes hours or days to make the Bro all right so here's the deal for this episode's challenge the contestants had teamed up with GrubHub to upgrade some of the most popular delivery items in the country the one who nailed the challenge gets a sweet immunity pin and a spot in the top 10 with Shena and Bowen so each contestant got to pick a random takeout bag with a dish they had to work with and what did Michael get Ramen Ramen oh yeah the guy definitely had his work cut out for him but that's not all to make the task a bit more challenging the judges decided to drop another bomb you will have 45 minutes to cook us an upscale Gourmet version of your chosen takeout dish with the stakes so high you can imagine the kind of pressure each contestant must have been going through but was Michael up for the challenge well you'll be the judge here's a look at what he decided to make it is very hard to make ramen it takes hours or days to make the broth trying to figure out how I'm going to elevate it and like put my Twist on it sounds interesting enough right but Michael had a good reason for picking this dish turns out he had lived in Korea for a while and so their Cuisine was far from foreign to him but guess what this little life experience would eventually play to his Advantage as Michael confidently placed his dish in front of the judges anticipation filled the air but they were going to have to taste it sooner or later and that's exactly what they did Joe took a cautious sip of the broth and he was hit with an unexpected wave of heat his reaction was priceless little bit spicy wow maybe Michael should have dropped a spice warning or something cuz Joe definitely wasn't expecting that it was clear that he wasn't exactly comfortable with all those scovills and the camera Ops were doing some serious work capturing his reaction right there Joe struggled to find the right words to describe but he had just ingested whether because he genuinely couldn't think of something right away or because the spice was preventing him from even putting a sentence together but just as the tension reached its peak the judges finally zeroed in on two dishes that stood out from the rest [Music] Michael so was the Bold Flavor a risk worth taking let's find out now regardless of the initial shock that Joe had received he was actually pretty impressed with the dish once his taste buds at recover everything looks super elevated H as for the other judges they chimed in with more appreciation the presentation is clever you're using the crispy little rice noodles as a textural component looking forward to trying it and since one judge had already experienced the heat before anyone else dug in Michael decided to warn them of course I like By Ramen spicy yeah no kidding but let's see if Chef Ramsey would be able to take the Heat Dish is delicious love the take on that Korean influence especially with the heat hey I'll give that a passing grade as for Sanchez he straight up said that the dish was award-winning and a little bit of spice was never going to phase him if that wasn't enough Joe had more to share I like the intensity of it I don't know if you could eat a whole bowl of it but all the components in the dish make sense very strong well sometimes taking risks can lead to Greatness and things luckily worked out in Michael's favor this time well these contestants managed to leave Joe shocked with the delectable dishes but there was this one contestant who left Joe dumbfounded for all the wrong reasons but here's the real question are we going to see another signature Joe dish thrashing go ahead and drop your guesses in the comment section down below but for now in season 3 episode 8 the tension was palpable as the contestants faced the day's dreaded Elimination Challenge the challenge revolved around the judge's favorite desserts and Felix sadly landed with the Hulan task of pleasing Joe my favorite dessert TI as the clock ticked down the pressure mounted as Felix struggled to prepare a dish worthy of the judge's praise when Joe decided to come check on her he wasn't too happy about how things were going were you not going to put it in a form how you going to make it on a plate kind of more free form wow that's risky things weren't off to a great start regardless of Joe's concern Felix was feeling confident anyone can go home today and you're in a competitive group I'm not going home today well we'll see about that anyway with time running out Felix was the first person to present her tiit to the judges but even before she laid the dish before them Joe happened to notice her expression let's begin with ti sou Felix that was brutal I mean he sure didn't have any High Hopes when it came to this particular dish he was beyond disappointed you saw the standard we put it up there we asked you to execute it and you come back with this it's so disappointing and if that wasn't enough he then dropped another brutal comment if it's bad you will go home hell yeah there's no place for people who don't meet the standards on Master Chef that's the one rule the judges have set either you follow or go home and believe me things weren't exactly looking up for Felix but when Joe took a bite of her dish he couldn't help but ask her one simple question why did you put nuts in here I like mac nuts macadamia nuts and an Italian tiam suo I mean how could she not know that but just as Graham decided to taste the dish Felix was already tearing up I'm sorry you have to eat this well it's not even eating it it's it's looking at it like to see her come up with something like this was totally out of character and his reaction was quite expected he deemed the dish terrible and when it came to Chef Ramsey he didn't hold back either way too sweet macadamian nuts nothing looks as sad as you do because it is a mess well it just looks like it wasn't her day the tiasu if you can even call it that was just a sad little puddle of mush and well according to the famous chef this was Felix's worst performance on the show if chef framy dropping that dire warning was any indication Felix found himself in the bottom three fortunately for him Scott was the one who was sent home instead talk about dodging a bullet just Scot and get back to your station good baby so can you think of more times when Joe truly relished the dish or sometimes when it took him a few seconds to process what was put in front of him before you know throwing it in the dumpster however this Chef shattered all records for miracles in the kitchen said a new standard for being the best chef imaginable and there's no other way I'd like to get started than to bring up the first ever blind contestant and winner of Master Chef season 3 I of course mean the remarkably talented and skilled Chef Christine ha but when Christine presented her dish in the fifth episode something unexpected happened she brought everyone to tears including herself come on come on so what exactly happened that stirred up so many emotions in everyone well it's it's pretty simple Christine simply blew everyone away with her apple pie I mean just listen to the crustiness of this pastry here can you hear that on top yes sure what does that sound like to you it sounds good and crusty well if you ask me that sounds absolutely delicious the flavor is amazing so what happened is the blue team had lost the challenge and the red team had to face a super intense pressure test one of them was definitely going home and everyone was feeling the Heat going to a pressure test after what I already feel was a pressure test I'm just really really stressed out the next day all the chefs gathered for a pressure test and guess what they had to make apple pies the most American of desserts but here's the catch Christine who was visually impaired was worried about how it would go down I know I need to still put that pie together so I'm thinking this is my night I'm going home it's really sad how she thought this challenge might get her eliminated like could you imagine the stress she was experiencing despite that Christine did let her lack of confidence hold her back all the contestants had to make the same damn thing with the same freaking ingredients the only difference being they had to add something special to stand out from the rest the chefs were then given an hour and 15 minutes to work their magic as for the Judgment this pressure test would be judged based on the filling of the crust and the overall baking techniques used to whip up some delicious apple pies it was a high pressure situation and everyone was feeling the Heat and you could really see that the tension kept getting worse Cindy did I cut myself am I bleeding now I get why Christine turned into a nervous wreck the judges were aware that Christine was at a disadvantage as well once the pie hit the oven how could she know if the pie was cooked if she couldn't see the color of the crust and that's exactly what was worrying Christine s going to have to rely on Cindy to tell me the color of the crust but despite all the challenges and the fact that she snipped her finger yes that happened too Christine was literally trying to give it her 100% and it's not just me several viewers were totally on board rooting for Christine to stay in the competition people couldn't help but notice her calmness determination and unwavering strength even when she doubted herself she approached each challenge with a level of excellence and professionalism that was truly inspiring one viewer noticed how there was not a hint of Cockiness or arrogance in this woman just a genuine sense of self that went beyond the awareness of her own incredible abilities she proved to be a true master in every sense of the word the three judges had their own doubts but they were also really hopeful but the thing is she does know how to cook and she knows how to season with only 40 minutes left it was time to put the pie inside the oven and this challenge turned out to be hard not only for Christine but all the other contestants as well somehow none of them had been able to get their pies baking yet but things got even tougher for Christine when this happened there's no way I just don't have any more flour Felix do you have extra flour I'm sure she never expected that to happen the flower literally broke into pieces and she ran out of it Christine had to ask another contestant for some extra flour and well at this stage of the competition with Time closing in everyone started to doubt if she could make [Music] it but Christine didn't give up she started from scratch and whipped up a new pie in no time the sad part is she couldn't visualize her pie nor could she taste it which made things even more challenging for her and when the time was up Christine was the last one to have her dish judged despite her visual impairment her Pie looked amazing and the judges were blown away visually it looks stunning it's got a nice crisp dark brown color on the edge Chef Ramsey being his usual self tried to boost her morale by asking her to stop doubting herself stop feeling upset with yourself and finally it was time to give the pie a taste when Chef Ramsey took a bite of Christine's apple pie you'll have to watch the video to find out what happen next trust me it's worth it it's delicious so well done okay I think Ramsey was moved more by the flavors of the dish than her tears and Christine deserved every bit of that appreciation several users mentioned that Christine was their all-time favorite contestant on the show and whatever she accomplished with her disability was truly inspiring they even appreciated the efforts taken by Ramsay to explain every single detail of her Pai which was very heartwarming indeed another beautifully explained how Christine was a gem who didn't give a crap if someone had anything negative to say about her well that's how Christine is going by the way she navigated throughout the entire competition it should be proof enough to validate this statement but sometimes you need to pay the price because of the mistakes made by others yeah team challenges can sometimes be unfair to a few contestants but that's what the show is all about well something similar happened to this contestant who should have ideally been chilling up on the balcony safe and sound but here's the thing even if he's a badass Chef would he be able to impress the judges with his food and make it to the top five well let's just see what happened in the 15th episode of season 7 the contestants were driven to a popup restaurant once there they had to whip up two appetizers and two Entre for the guests the teams were led by David Williams and Katie Dixon and this guy named sha O'Neal was on Katie's red team now after all the hustle The Blue Team won but let me tell you Shawn from the red team didn't deserve to be called a loser he was an amazing Chef hands down he nailed the pop-up restaurant Challenge and there was no doubt about it are you guys enjoying the red team's food tonight te all the but now the poor red team had to face a freaking pressure test they were presented with three amazing chocolates by each judge and what was the task you ask well check this out for yourselves hey you won't be making just one of these desserts tonight you'll been making all three they had to make three chocolate desserts in just 1 hour talk about real pressure each contestant had to prove that they had what it takes to be the next Master Chef of America with such little time needless to say they had to hustle like crazy just take that D take that just take that there just take that once the time was up the judges were ready to taste the chocolates now Sea's first two chocolates didn't blow them away but that doesn't mean they didn't taste good however when it came to the last chocolates Ramsey gave it a bite and this is how he reacted chocolate molten La cake is beautiful that thing was cooked to Perfection within such a little amount of time meanwhile the other two contestants struggled to get their desserts right and let me tell you Sea's dessert didn't just look good it tasted freaking Heavenly plus this is what Chef Ramsey had to say it's delicious it was really emotional to see that his hard work was being appreciated and that everyone in the room felt the same I pushed myself so hard that's what Master Chef was all about and when it was time for the results just as you'd expect Shawn was the first one to be saved the judges couldn't stop praising him and giving him props but sadly poor Katie got eliminated they asked her who she thought would win master chef and she didn't hesitate to say this Sean the way that he's handled himself throughout this competition I truly respect yeah he's a badass Chef who aced every damn challenge thrown at him however imagine what it feels like to whip up an award-winning master piece later on the contestants were asked to make a dish using only the ingredients from a mystery box in the fifth episode of season 2 nobody expected to see one contestant stand out from the others by a long shot the judges were all set to pick their top three dishes and the absolute worse ones as well but here comes the surprise that everyone was dying to know what exactly were those mystery ingredients well let's find out yes when it was time for the judging they first announced the worst dish and guess what poor pen star's dish took that title it was a major bummer then the first dish that caught everyone's attention was Susie s she went all out and cooked up pickled salmon smoked salmon and grilled salmon but here's the twist the judges weren't Blown Away by The Taste but at least they were satisfied however this is where things get really insane brace yourself for this contestant named Christian Collins who literally made the other shaking their boots I think would certainly win the award for being the most restaurant ready Christian yeah his dish was considered a ww worthy the judges were about to taste it and see whether it was worth the hype and let me tell you he didn't disappoint Christian cooked up a pistachio crusted salmon with strawberry and balsamic reduction and well it was a flavor explosion first came Joe basich who couldn't help but shower him with compliments he said that the salmon was cooked to Perfection crispy on top but still juicy and tender on the inside but here comes the bonus and the bonus was the effective use of the strawberries well done then came greaham Elliot who had a very similar reaction he had seen other contestants attempting to crush their fish with pistachios but Christian's dish was Next Level the crust was even and beautifully done yeah really yummy really good job and now it was time for the one and only Chef Ramsey to taste it could you imagine the pressure but guess what this is how it turned out absolutely on the money good job well done Ramsey was straight up impressed by The Taste and quality of the dish damn that's a remarkable feat impressing all the judges like that it's not an easy task but Christian did it and with this dish he left his mark on Master Chef like no other in fact he became the freaking winner of the first Mystery Box challenge how awesome is that congratulations woo as a reward he got to choose the style of food that everyone would have to cook for the elimination challenge now that's a major power right there Christian showed everyone that he was forced to be reckoned with in the kitchen all right next let me Spill the Beans about this gutsy contestant from season 10 who decided to ditch playing it safe and went all out with a challenging dish plus he did it in the limited time that he had so in the fifth episode the judges tasted a little bit of every dish and checked out the present ation then before picking the best dish they decided to choose the worst three of the night and it turned out to be Samuel has Elizabeth Lynn and Fred Chang but luckily it wasn't elimination time so they were safe for now phew you three are lucky that tonight is not elimination now it was time for the judges to go deeper into the other dishes that stood out they called each contestant forward and one contestant was specifically summoned because their dish looked incredible seriously it could rival a fancy restaurant dish the contestant Nick diovani whipped up a mouthwatering Brazilian cheese bread Taco with grilled skirt steak corn Selsa and Snapper Seviche and the fact that you did this is so bold young man thank you Chef clearly the judges were really impressed by the presentation of the ceviche they declared it to be the best of the evening but here comes the plot twist despite the high expectations and drw worthy appearance this is what Aaron Sanchez had to say you went overboard on the Scotch bonnet you really need to tone that down young man with that now it was time to dig into the Brazilian cheese bread Taco so did it live up to the hype what you've done with that cheese tortilla and marinade the steak delicious well Nick managed to impress the judges with a new technique and I totally think it worked in his favor very intellectual take on a surfing Turf really high thinking great tasting stuff and the best part was that the dish was chosen as one of the top three best dishes of the competition however in season 8 when the top 20 contestants were pitted against each other the challenge that awaited them was like no other it was the third episode and you know things are about to get real when the mystery box comes [Music] out this time around the mystery box was a grocery box containing 12 common ingredients found in any American homecook meal chicken breast ground beef potatoes canned tomatoes carrots white cheddar cheese green apples and chocolate to add to that they also had access to the standard Master Chef staple Pantry box the home Cooks had to use these ingredients to whip up a phenomenal dish within just 1 hour talk about a race against the clock once the 60 Minutes were up it was now time for the judgment and let me tell you the judges were not impressed so what happened is three dishes stood out but for all the wrong reasons they were a complete mess but hold up I've got some good news too three home Cooks managed to impressed the judges with their dishes so let's talk about the first one that caught their eyes yosika yoshika Holston prepared biscuits and gravy with homemade chicken apple sausage buttermilk pepper biscuits crispy homemade fries underneath and a soft scrambled egg on top and it looked like a total Delight I didn't have buttermilk so I had to make it added buttermilk to it really high temperature for a short amount of time Chef Ramsey couldn't help but praise how incredible it tasted he even mentioned how expensive it looked yes had nailed the breakfast dish and he was sure that she would Excel during lunch and dinner as well biscuits are incredible the potatoes underneath cook beautifully yeah what would I change next it was time for Aaron Sanchez to taste the dish and he was equally stunned the judges applauded the Finesse she showed in showcasing the ingredients and how well the dish was made the flavors harmonize perfectly without overpowering each other and the idea of baking the buttermilk and enriching the dough for the biscuits was exceptional according to the judge if there was one dish that should taste like it took 60 Minutes to make it was hers the last judge to judge was Christina tossi and she was shocked to know that yika wasn't provided with chicken sausage yet she managed to pull it off she was so impressed that she even asked her to explain the process I took the chicken breast uh ground it up with some spices fresh dill flavored it up with a little bit of cayenne give a little kick a little heat that dish was indeed exciting now let's look into the story of this next contestant from season 4 who was faced with a rather intriguing question from the judge are you trying to deceive us it represents where I want to be as a chef it was the fourth episode and the remaining competitors entered the master chef kitchen for their very first Mystery Box challenge they were tasked with preparing and presenting an amazing dish using only the ingredients hidden under those mystery boxes now the judges were watching closely and they weren't in the mood for any fake or deceptive dishes it was all about showcasing the skills with the basics before moving on to the more complex recipes and when the contestants opened their boxes it wasn't the most appetizing set bacon they were greeted with just a potato some bacon and a bunch of chocolates What A peculiar combination it made everyone wonder how someone could Ace the competition with such limited ingredients and I thought it's a joke what do I have to do with this but hey the contestants had to prove themselves right they had to work their magic with these basic ingredients and let me tell you it was both easy and difficult at the very same time after observing and sampling throughout the challenge the judges took a final look to identify three standout dishes among those one dish stood out from the rest that dish belongs to Bei great job yes bie Cruz totally impressed the judges with his poach egg over hash with tomato basil salsa Chef Ramsey was taken a back and all he could say was wow and absolutely Sublime well the taste was on point dish has got finesse it seasoned beautifully great start Graham Elliott was equally impressed highlighting the sweetness from the caramelized potato and the smokiness from the bacon but Joe basich as usual was a little skeptical smells a little bit like a fake to me viewers were just as shocked seeing how ridiculous Joe was being with his overly fancy concerns Bim then had to explain how the books helped him picture and style his dish however despite a few hiccups bie left the judges amazed and proud where you're heading looks good thank you Chef it was definitely a proud moment for Bimi and well he proved that he had the skills and talent to make exceptional dishes even with limited ingredients well isn't that what Master Chef is all about so these are some of the moments that made the judges taste buds dance with delight on Master Chef it's these instances that remind us why the judge's passion for exceptional food shines through every episode and also why contestants put their best foot forward to make their Mark in the competition now surely there must be many more dishes that left a lasting impression on everyone including yourselves and guess what I even have an exclusive server for those of you who are interested well I'm excited to see you there
