Episode 19
It's finals week on MasterChef: The Professionals, and just four outstanding chefs are in with a fighting chance at the title. They face the biggest moment of their careers, cooking for industry giants, before they square off for a place in the final three. The stakes don't get much higher than this.
A luxury five-star hotel in London is the setting for the first challenge, which will be sure to set the contestants' hearts racing. They are catering for the Chef's Table in the Michelin-starred Dining Room restaurant of The Goring Hotel, where 24 of the industry's most revered chefs have been invited to taste their food. This is an opportunity like no other, and a unique chance for these brave chefs to get noticed by their food heroes. Guests include Lisa Goodwin-Allen (Northcote 1*), Daniel Clifford (Midsummer House 2*), Jun Tanaka (The Ninth 1*) and Alex Dilling (Hotel Café Royal 2*).
The finalists have four hours to prepare one course each for this exclusive event. All the professionals will be hoping to deliver a dish to remember -one that hits the Michelin standard on every front. Exquisite presentation with flavours to match are the bare minimum this occasion demands. A plate that excels in terms of innovation and creativity is what's required to create a buzz in the dining room.
Next, the finalists return to the MasterChef kitchen to battle for a place in the final three in what is one of the most emotional stages of the competition. One plate of food is the ask, but it must be nothing short of perfection. All four have proven their capabilities so far, but will any of them break under this level of pressure?
Finally, the judges reveal which unfortunate finalist is saying goodbye, while the other three chefs press on in the race to become this year's champion.
