Masterchef Back to Win Finale Recap for 9/14/2022

• Part two of the finale!

 

• We are still on the entree round, but at least Chef Gordon Ramsay is being sweet to the final three.

 

• Why did Emily have to give her opinion?

 

• Dara’s boyfriend and mom are the cutest.

 

• Dara’s sass with the short ribs is such a freaking MOOD.

 

• Michael’s lamb is overcooked, the sauce is thick, but it has an overall good flavor.

 

• Dara’s short ribs and sides are visually appealing and tastes just as good. Joe would even eat it at other restaurants AND serve it at his own.

 

• Christian’s fillets are not all cooked medium rare, but taste delicious.

 

• Christina Tosi, the dessert legend is in the house for the dessert round!

 

• Dara is thrilled to see her idol there, but looks so nervous to cook her dessert.

 

• Did Shayne hit on Christina?

 

• Christian cooking his grandma’s recipe is such a sweet tribute to her and a good way to end his time on the show.

 

• Dara’s vanilla dessert is well seasoned, but also a bit too sweet.

 

• Michael’s tres leches dessert is missing a milk square for Aaron, but is a triumph.

 

• Christian’s banana pudding is delicious, but a bit too simplistic.

 

• The judges deliberate and come to a decision…..

 

• The winner of Masterchef is……..DARA!!!! MAZEL TOV AND CONGRATULATIONS, GIRL!!!!!

 

• More next season, stay tuned!
