The highly anticipated MasterChef US Season 13 is set to air on FOX on May 24, 2023, tantalizing fans with the promise of another season filled with culinary masterpieces and intense competition1. Titled “MasterChef: United Tastes of America,” this season is bound to present a smorgasbord of flavors from across the nation.
The beloved trio of judges – Chef and executive producer Gordon Ramsay, chef Aarón Sánchez, and restaurateur Joe Bastianich – return to evaluate the culinary creations of the contestants2. The series, produced by Endemol Shine North America and One Potato Two Potato, is based on a format created by Franc Roddam and features an impressive list of executive producers, including Elisabeth Murdoch, Danny Schrader, Pat Llewellyn, Ben Adler, Sharon Levy, and DJ Nurre3. Notably, the series continues to be produced under their respective production entities, even as Ramsay has established a joint venture with Fox, Studio Ramsay Global, overseeing all new series featuring and/or produced by Ramsay4.
MasterChef US Season 13 introduces an interesting twist in its format, stirring up mixed reactions among the fans. In this season, the judges are not observing the cooking process as they traditionally do. Instead, they wait in another room to try each dish, judging the contestants solely based on the food presented to them. This is a significant deviation from the previous format, where the judges used to walk around the kitchen, interact with the contestants, and help them keep time5.
Replacing this aspect of the judges’ involvement is a new addition to the high-pressure kitchen – the MasterChef floor manager, who is tasked with ensuring the contestants stay within their allocated cooking time. This change in format has received a mixed response from the fans. Some have appreciated the inclusion of the floor manager, calling it “fair” and a good strategy to prevent contestants from stalling and getting distracted. However, others have dubbed the new role as “bossy” and an “unnecessary” deviation from the beloved format678. As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how fans will warm up to this new dynamic.
MasterChef US Season 13 promises to be a season of surprises and innovation, from the United Tastes of America theme to the novel format change. As we wait for the season to unfold, one thing is certain – the kitchen is heating up, and we are all in for a gastronomic delight!
