ICYMI: Masterchef Back to Win Highlights for 8/11/22

• Season three winner Christine Ha is back in the kitchen.
• Everyone is in tears seeing her return, myself included. She is such an accomplished, amazing woman.
• This week’s mystery box includes staple Vietnamese ingredients. They must use all the ingredients to make a Vietnamese dish with help from a limited pantry.
• I have never heard of half these dishes, nor have I ever cooked Vietnamese food, much less eaten it! I am really learning a lot tonight.
• Poor Brandi burned her pork belly and has no time to start over, so now she has to make do with what is left.
• There is a lot of pressure in the kitchen tonight–no pun intended.
• It is always so nerve wracking to see the judges walk around and taste each dish.

Top 3:

• Michael–Vietnamese beef stew
• Christian–Vegetable beef pho
• Dara–Rice porridge

Michael wins immunity!

Bottom 3:

• Bri–Pan seared salmon
• Brandi–Vietnamese pork belly
• Emily– Lemongrass pork salad

Bri is eliminated.

• More next week, stay tuned!
