MasterChef: The Professionals (2008)

Episode Overview

In this quarter-final, the six most skilled chefs from the week’s earlier rounds aim to impress Monica and Marcus through two intense challenges. The first task is an invention test centered around a key ingredient that Monica has chosen: the versatile onion, a staple in many culinary traditions. With a vast selection of onion varieties and additional ingredients at their disposal, the chefs must quickly harness their creativity to craft a dish in just 70 minutes that showcases flavor, elegance, and a unique take on the onion. At the conclusion of this challenge, two contestants will be eliminated from the competition.
