MasterChef Season 3 Auditions Begin Later This Month

Who’s going to be the next MasterChef? It’s too early to tell, but for those of you who have enjoyed the first two seasons, there’s good news. Fox has renewed the cooking competition series for a third season. Think you have what it takes to impress Gordon Ramsay with your cooking abilities? Auditions begin in Los Angeles later this month.

MasterChef is a cooking competition where culinary enthusiasts compete for the opportunity to win a cash prize and earn the title of MasterChef. Unlike Hell’s Kitchen, which is also on Fox and features Gordon Ramsay, MasterChef is geared toward amateur chefs, as opposed to people who work in the culinary arts professionally.

Fox made the announcement about the Season 3 pick-up, along with posting the Season 3 audition schedule. Exact locations are mostly To-Be-Determined so far, but the network does have the lay-out of cities and dates.

Over the past two seasons, the $250,000 grand prize and title of “MasterChef” have gone to Jennifer Behm, a realtor from Wilmington, DE; and Whitney Miller, a student from Poplarville, MS. Since winning the show, Whitney Miller released her first cookbook, while Jennifer Behm is currently writing a cookbook and already has established a successful private catering company.
