Masterchef starring Gordon Ramsay is now into full swing and in the next few weeks, they will be auditioning amateur chefs all over the US to star (well after Gordon) in the show! The show will be based on the surprise Australian format of the show with the same name!

Professional chefs are not allowed to enter and the show has been dubbed “American Idol”  for foodies and will be brought to the small screen by the producers of ‘The Biggest Loser’.

Twelve auditions will take places across where would-be contestants will be asked to appear at the auditions with a prepared dish and thenplate the dish for the judges within five minutes. No doubt quality of the dish and ‘appropriate characters’  will weigh in the decisions of who makes it to the next level!

A copy of the application form can be found here.
