Masterchef: The Professionals

[Indeliblelink]

I wanna know what their bogs sre like.
But yeah, being met at reception by someone doing interpretive dance can fuck off.

Greg Wallace was funny in his comments. You could tell that he wasn't really convinced. This is supposed to be unpleasant at first, yes? This is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable?

I am not sure that even Monica ate the chickens feet thing. We saw the other two tucking in, but she was certainly upset at the thought of it.

 

[Petcha]

That Danish restaurant looked fucking horrendous. You couldn't pay me to eat there. The quality of the cooking didnt even look that hot shit either. Being greeted by that dancer and then subjected to entry level design school graphics while you're eating a load of offal. No, just no.

Worthy winner, gutted for the Aussie lass though.

I bet they are coke-tastic.

It is what the internet is for

Axor in Copenhagen´s Alchemist restaurant

Copenhagen´s new world of culinary delight is also also offers an eye-catcher when it comes to sanitary facilities - with faucets from Axor.

Bit boring, have you been to the loos at Sketch?

 

[hash tag]

errr, no, but know where you are coming from

Just caught up with Finals week.

Totally agree about the restaurant. Very interesting that Monica didn't eat the chicken dish.

It really did stand out, and I mean the restaurant and the episode, as a complete gear shift. To go from upstairs at a place in Shrewsbury to that couldn't have taken along with it a mainstream BBC One audience.

Worthy winner. The person I thought was being "reality show edited" to win didn't and I could feel their deflation through the screen.

Once again I'm left with the feeling that this version of MasterChef is both great and totally stupid, and that's perhaps why I keep watching.

Finally caught up. Thought Tom was a very worthy winner, definitely one of the most talented professional chefs I've seen on there. When I was 24, I think the highlight of my cookery was probably spag bol.

As an antidote to the extremely pretentious Danish restaurant, this made me laugh:

Surely the greatest 2 minutes of Masterchef – or any TV cookery programme – you’ll ever watch

Full disclosure – we stopped catching up with MasterChef around the same time as Loyd Grossman gave up presenting it and yes, we know we’ve probably been missing out. And yes, we know we’re old. But we didn’t know quite how much we’d been missing out until we came across this clip from the show, […]

Can you imagine how hard it is for Sean Pertwee to narrate that without pissing himself laughing?

I'm sure he has seen similar many times over and is probably not phased anymore.

 

[Petcha]

I know it's low to comment on physical appearance but this is quite good

 

[zora]

I cried a bit

Just caught up on the final, and came here to say just that.

I bloody loved Tom throughout the competition and so pleased for him and his folks that he won.

You could tell also how much Monica and Marcus loved and respected him, which somehow really touched me.

Must be really hard not to laugh

2024 series starts tonight in a few minutes.

 

[hash tag]

Bastard thing clashes with bake off, so using catch up, we now have 2.25 hours of cookery

 

[hash tag]

Monica is still on it

 

[Numbers]

Great show, some proper skillz already.

 

[Numbers]

2024 series starts tonight in a few minutes.

I thought it was tonight too but we started watching it last night on iPlayer, the first 3 episodes were available.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

You can see a mile off when they're going to keep three.

I want to eat the French guy's food. Never seen grapefruit before in mc. Grapefruit and caviar! Yeah why not.

That sticky toffee pudding looked appalling.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

I saw bits as I had the telly on and I don't watch Bake Off live.

Not quite sure when Sticky Toffee Pudding became a Cumbrian delicacy, but I'm aware that it did, and that one from the Cumbrian fellow did look really bad.

I've heard Chris Packham say that caviar is controlled by the Russian mafia, so I'm not sure anyone should be using that.

 

[PR1Berske]

I've said before that I love the Professionals more than the civilian or celebs. I think it's the deflating of the ego, particularly when the skills challenge turns the confident swagger of a gastropub know it all onto a nervous wreck.

 

[PR1Berske]

By the by, the roll call of winners is very masculine, reflecting the industry being still very "male heavy"

 

[pbsmooth]

enjoyed last night. I found myself getting strangely emotional when that young girl smashed her skills test. tragic!

I would watch an entire series of just the skills test

 

[danny la rouge]

I hate it. I don’t like the atmosphere at all.
