And I guess there's a Master Chef thread HERE...

Hopefully a mod will wander through and gather up the Master Chef stuff and whisk it magically in to the right thread. Mods are nice like that - <done 76>

The series premiere of this show with Gordon Ramsey takes place on Tuesday, 7/6, at 8PM EDT. Quoting from TV Guide: "Master Chef is kinda like American Idol but with a tasty twist: Amateur chefs compete for $250,000 and the chance to have their own cookbook published." I love the concept, but two straight hours of Gordon Ramsey may be a bit much!

I plan on watching. It looks very interesting. Theres supposed to be another judge who is even worse than Ramsey and one who is nicer.

This show interests me, too. So I'll be joining you. Just hope there is not too nasty a judging.

The British version of this is so good, the two judges are great. I'll watch to see how the format of this is in comparison. On the other version they whittle down contestants to one each ep, there was eventual quarter finals, semi and then finals. It was really good, if ever anyone sees it playing on BBC Can or US I would recommend it.

I really enjoywed the opening episode! As stated somewhere above, there is a more punishing chef than Ramsey and a more accepting one - guess who I like better?!?

This might be a good show. Chef Ramsey is the middle of the road guy among the three chef judges - hard to believe but true!

I can't believe the guys who thought that funeral potatoes and beer cheese soup would impress the judges.

I can't believe I missed the Funeral Potatoes. Can someone tell me what was in that recipe? I think I caught a bit of some runny mess, but not beyond that. Thx

The funeral potatoes had cheese, mayonnaise, bacon, and sour cream and a ton of melted butter. It looked like it also had peas or something. There's a clip of it here: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/hl-50073011/masterchef_funeral_potatoes_season_1/

I found it a lot like American Idol with the three judges, the auditions, and people jumping for joy when they got an apron instead of a golden ticket! I'll be interested in seeing what happens next week.

There is something, a dish at Charo Chicken locally that is called Moe's Potatoes.. but it has chicken in it and cheese and all sorts of goodies including I'm sure (butter) and it is wonderful but I'm sure it is deadly. But it has chicken

I have the Master Chef cookbook from Australia. Some of the final recipes from competitions were extremely complex. The Bierimisu dessert was to die for! Yes that is tirimisu with the lady fingers drenched in coffee and Double Chocolate Stout beer. YUM!

Does anything go with the title of "Master Chef" besides bragging rights?

$250,000, their own published cookbook, and the title of "America's first Master Chef." Pretty substantial, I'd say.

I enjoyed last night's episode. GR is more fun to watch when he's not screaming and foaming at the mouth.

In our version of tiramisu that we make for First Cafe at Second Harvest - a weekly fund-raiser - we soak the lady fingers in expresso and Jack Daniels!

Well, now Master Chef is narrowed down to 30 (!) people, I am waiting to see how it shakes out. I truly tend to be interested in the ethnic dishes because I ate "American" for the first 50 or so years of my life, so I am thrilled that something else is now available.
