Recently, popcrave had interviewed Chef Aarón Sánchez and we got the following information. On asking about any special guest judge to expect on this season. Aarón replied, “I mean, I love them all! It’s like picking between your favorite child, but I mean, we have Daphne Oz who’s my colleague on MasterChef Jr. And you know, you have Tiffany Derry who’s a fantastic chef from Dallas who does southern roots food.”
He further stated, “Then you have Graham Elliot who’s a prior judge on MasterChef, and then we kind of bring it home with all these others, and Susan Feniger from California… I just think it’s really neat that we think big and bold. That’s what makes MasterChef the best culinary competition show in the world, because we’re not afraid to ask favors from friends and colleagues that we admire. That’s what makes it so good, I think.”
