“MasterChef” cooking for Fox
Foodies, get ready for a culinary “American Idol.”
Fox is expanding its line of Gordon Ramsay reality shows by giving a series order to Reveille’s “MasterChef.”
Ramsay will co-produce and star in the program, in which nonprofessional cooks compete to create perfect dishes. The project is based on a format that’s popular in the U.K. and Australia. The show joins Ramsay’s other titles on Fox — “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares” — and should keep the network stocked with the temperamental chef’s reality fare nearly year-around.
