Quebec viewers have been familiar with the concept of Masterchef for two weeks.
There are many criticisms at the beginning, but audiences are getting used to the various elements of this globally adapted format.
Among the contestants who stood out in this first week of the competition (the first four episodes focused exclusively on the auditions), we mention Alysan, who won the first mystery box challenge, Fadwa, who dared pork, chocolate and peanut butter to mix, and Sonia for her exuberance and suppleness, and Yvon, who took some pretty heavy criticism after the creative challenge.
We will remember that the latter had prepared a duck breast glazed with maple wood. He had drawn a checkerboard pattern at the bottom of his plate of blueberry coulis. Martin Picard was not impressed with his lecture. “Are you saying the only mistake? So if it wasn't grout, would it be a perfect presentation for you? “.
“Not perfect, but still,” he replies, visibly shaken by the judge’s coldness.
Remember, the 61-year-old manager from Blainville made quite the first impression at the auditions when he announced he would cook the “best” tartare in the world.
His small round glasses told us something. After some research on social media, we see that Yvon has already participated in “An Almost Perfect Supper”. We saw it in the fourth season of the show in 2012. Many things have changed in the last twelve years, but obviously not Yvon's passion for cooking…
Watch a clip from his appearance on Noovo's show (which was called V at the time he appeared) below.
Stefano Faita said this about Yvon: “ [Il] is a bit far-fetched. He is a slightly older man who is stubborn. He was confident in what he was doing, but he was open to criticism and feedback, that's the fun. » Read our full interview with the judge here.
