FOX announces MasterChef Season 14 ahead of its 250th episode

While culinary competitions often fill the schedule, home cooks journey to prove their culinary mastery captivates the FOX viewers. Now that MasterChef has aired 250 episodes, fan can appreciate that the popular food television show will be back for more. MasterChef Season 14 will be coming, but what can viewers expect.

Although Gordon Ramsay fills much of FOX programming, MasterChef hits a different tone from some of his other culinary competitions. Instead of fixing the restaurant disasters or pushing professional chefs to their limits, MasterChef is about the cook’s evolution. Even though all the home cooks earn a spot because of their culinary prowess, it is the desire to learn, adapt and evolve that makes the winner a cut above.

In a recent FOX announcement, MasterChef Season 14 will be coming. Although the season has yet to start filming, food television fans will appreciate that the trio of judges, Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez, and Joe Bastianich will bring their culinary expertise back to the kitchen.

According to Allison Wallach, President, Unscripted Programming, of FOX Entertainment, “MasterChef is a beloved staple of the FOX brand. Its impressive performance this Summer and tonight’s 250th episode are a testament to the strength, distinction and longevity of this very special show. Of course, our incredible partner, Gordon Ramsay, together with Aarón Sánchez, Joe Bastianich and Endemol Shine North America, continue to make MasterChef the massive success it is and we are proud to renew it for its 14th season.”

Over the seasons, MasterChef has balanced the familiar with the new. While it has brought back previous competitors and celebrated culinary masters across cuisines, the basis of the competition has remained unchanged. Even in this season’s Tastes of America, it comes down to individuals being able to execute a dish well, in the moment.

Even though the current season might give some cooks a reprieve when making a bad dish, the top chefs will rise to the top. More importantly, the cooks must show that they can think on their feet in Mystery Box challenges, work with their fellow cooks, and present a restaurant quality dish every time. Although chefs can have a bad day, that scenario is not permitted on MasterChef. A bad day can get a cook sent home.

Currently, MasterChef Season 14 is casting, and the call will be open until October 8, 2023. More information can be found at www.masterchefcasting.com.

While the new season will be coming soon, do not miss a chance to watch all the current action on MasterChef Tastes of America. New episodes air Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. or can be streamed the next day on Hulu.
