MasterChef Preview: Chef Idol

For those of you who can’t get enough of Gordon Ramsay, Fox is set to premiere his newest reality TV competition MasterChef next week. Check out some clips from the series premiere as well as a video interview featuring Chef Ramsay.

In the video interview we have below Fox’s description for the series, Gordon Ramsay refers to the show as “Chef Idol” and goes on to explain the differences between this new reality competition and Hell’s Kitchen.

Here's Fox's description for the series and further down are the videos.

MASTERCHEF is the new series that takes amateur chefs – many of whom simply cook as a hobby – and attempt to turn one of them into a culinary master. Contestants on MASTERCHEF will be put through the paces with various challenges as they compete head-to-head to create delicious dishes. The series will serve as a unique platform for people from all walks of life who want to follow their dream of working as a professional chef. These contestants will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show their passion and excitement for food as their skills and palate are tested with the hopes of becoming the winner of MASTERCHEF.

MasterChef premieres Tuesday, July 27 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
