ON THE SEASON PREMIERE OF “MASTERCHEF JUNIOR”

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, ON FOX

24 Talented Junior Home Cooks from 11 States

Enter the MASTERCHEF JUNIOR Kitchen

From New York to Arizona to Tennessee and beyond, the kids are back in the kitchen and ready to add their signature flare to every dish! Season Four of the hit culinary competition series MASTERCHEF JUNIOR returns on Friday, Nov. 6 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Host, judge and award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay, along with his fellow judges, acclaimed chef Graham Elliot and renowned pastry chef Christina Tosi, welcome 24 of the best junior home cooks in the country between the ages of eight and thirteen to the MASTERCHEF JUNIOR kitchen, where they will compete for the MASTERCHEF JUNIOR trophy and the $100,000 grand prize.

After a nationwide search, 24 of the best junior home cooks in the country will compete in the MASTERCHEF JUNIOR kitchen. They will face exciting challenges, including catering a party for more than 50 boys and girls, a tag-team challenge, a cupcake frosting face-off and the fan-favorite pop-up restaurant, until one talented kid is named America’s next MASTERCHEF JUNIOR, taking home the MASTERCHEF JUNIOR trophy and $100,000 grand prize.

In the premiere episode, 24 junior contestants enter the kitchen for the first time. Upon meeting the judges, they are tasked with preparing a signature burger and one side, using only ingredients in their first mystery box challenge. The winner of the challenge will have a significant advantage and will select the main ingredient that the remaining contestants have to use in the season’s first elimination round. The junior home cooks with the best dishes will advance in the competition.
