‘MasterChef’ is a cooking competition game developed by Ben Adler, Pat Llewellyn, Adeline Ramage Rooney, Robin Ashbrook, Howard Owens, and Gordon Ramsay. The actual program includes 50 competitors competing to impress the judges with their bowls. In pursuit of MasterChef’s modified title, contestants have to go through many tests and challenges in each episode.
In addition to the competitive format, the presence of renowned chef Gordon Ramsay – famous for ‘Hell Kitchen’ and ‘MasterChef Junior’ – as one of the judges makes the cooking game even more enjoyable. Other judges in the program are Joe Bastianich and Aarón Sanchez. In addition, Graham Elliot and Christina Tosi have also been on the judging panel for several seasons. Considering the fact that so many series are being filmed in the house – which may be the soundtrack in the studio area – fans are curious to know where ‘MasterChef’ is being filmed.
