Watch some of your favorite “MasterChef” competitors sweat it out over a hot stove onstage when a touring version of Gordon Ramsay’s hit Fox TV series comes to South Florida.
The 31-city “MasterChef All-Stars Live!” tour will stop at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale on Oct. 2, with tickets on sale now at MasterChefLiveTour.com. Prices range from $35+ to $150+ for VIP stagefront seats that include a cast meet-and-greet, Q&A session, signed show posters, photos and more.
The cast of chefs who will compete at The Parker has yet to be announced.
Tour producers say the stage show will have all the energy of the TV version, with head-to-head battles that yield unique culinary creations. The chefs also will share stories about competing for the panel of tough judges in the show’s famous kitchen, while offering cooking tips the audience can use at home.
Not sure what it says about us, but of the tour dates announced so far, Florida leads the way with five shows. Along with Fort Lauderdale, the tour also will stop in Orange Park (Oct. 1), Middleton (Oct. 3), St. Petersburg (Oct. 4) and Pensacola (Oct. 5).
“MasterChef” is scheduled to return for Season 15 this summer (date TBD), with James Beard Award-nominee Tiffany Derry replacing longtime judge Aarón Sánchez.
