  'MasterChef Junior' Recap: The Top 24 Take on the Mystery Box
Friday, March 09, 2018

The Emmy-winning Master Chef Junior is back for it's sixth season, and in the third episode, "Culinary ABCs" fans are relieved they've whittled down the contestants from 40 to 24, with 12 boys and girls competing. The top 24 home cooks face their first mystery box challenge, cooking meals using ingredients that start with each letter of the alphabet. The winner of the mystery box challenge is exempt from participating in making a fruit tart.

The 24 home chefs get their first glimpse at the mystery box, but with an elementary school twist. Each box has 26 ingredients, one for each letter of the alphabet. From avocados, to lamb chops, to New York strips to zucchini, the home cooks have an hour to whip up a beautiful plate.

Of course they have access to the gorgeous, dream pantry in the MasterChef kitchen, so the sky is the limit for this challenge. The home cooks use mostly lamb and steak for their proteins, but the best of the best worked in quinoa, tzatziki, and kale. You would never in a million years know these dishes were prepared by children, much less some under the age of 10.

The Top 3 Dishes

Remy: Both Remy and her sister are in the competition, so it makes the stakes even higher for this New York native. Touting a bow almost as big as her whole face, she came in strong. She made lamb chops with roasted eggplant (sort of like a babaganoush) and, a crowd pleaser, cheese biscuits. She butchered the lamb herself, and the judges were impressed with the degree of the meat. It was a perfect medium rare, and that's no small feat.

Beni: This plucky little Chicago girl is a strong front runner. She's got enough personality to charm the judges but her herb-crusted steak with ginger quinoa and sauteed kale with dill and yogurt sauce is really what won them over.

Henry: Hailing from the great state of Texas, Henry not only has a big personality, but also big goals for himself. He's pretty confident and it shows in his grilled lamb chop with tzatziki, quinoa and zucchini. Although he didn't come in first, his lamb chop got really high marks from the judges.

The winner: Remy - she gets to watch the second, sweets challenge from the safety of the balcony.



The Fruit Tart

A technical nightmare for a novice, a fruit tart takes more skill than most of these home chefs have acquired in their short lives. The crust must be thin enough to cut through easily, yet it has to support the weight of the filling and the fruit topping. It's hard, and some of the home cooks struggled to make theirs work. Just based on the physical appearance of their dishes, some cooks were sent up to the balcony, leaving the remaining chefs to go through a more close up judging.

Safe in the Balcony: Ariana, Beni, Olivia, Evan, Emily, Sophia, Anthony, Henry and Maria

The remaining cooks (Zia, Lindsay, Avery, Quani, Juelz, and Ben) have to face the judges, have them taste their pastries, and scrutinize their dish up close.

Zia took the judging the hardest, crying real tears when Gordon asks her to examine her own work. To have such a reputation as a professional nightmare, he's surprisingly sweet and charming with the kids. It's not an easy job to crush two kids' dreams every week.

Sent Home:

Juelz and Zia have to go in this episode. Again, Zia breaks down, forcing Christina Tosci to offer hugs and reassurance, and an adorable pep talk that reveals her first tart was pretty bad as well.

Both Juelz and Zia's in the moment interview revealed a sunnier disposition, but I'm not sure I'll ever get used to watching children be so disappointed every week.

Do you think they send kids home two at a time to make them feel better, or is it just a quirk of production?
