I’ve always said that the Australian version is by far the best version in the MasterChef franchise. Compare it to the US version? No comparison.
It’s time for Season 13!
It’s been an interesting start through the first episodes. The biggest shock to me was in the last episode where Therese got eliminated. I really thought she was going to be in the Top 3.
Right now, we’re down to the Top 8. It’s definitely easier to say who the favorites are right now.
If I had to take a rough guess at Top 5 right now, I would say that it would be Depinder, Kishwar, Pete, Sabina and Elise – with Depinder, Sabina and Kishwar being the favorites.
That’s why I am absolutely shocked Depinder went home at 8.
I also think that Justin is coming on as well. Linda and Justin, I am not sure about them. I think Justin is the one that takes Depinder’s place in the Top 5. That makes my Top 5 Justin, Kishwar, Pete, Sabina and Elise.
That would be 4 of 5 for me with Linda taking Sabina’s place.
I think that Kishwar has to be the favorite right now, with Justin and Pete close behind. Elise is too under the radar in her edit, though Larissa and Emilia were also there.
In the end, congratulations to Justin! It was a nice surprise to see him win!
Here they do Teppanyaki and other dishes.
A little Seaweed Salad to start.
Another Salad. 
Some Gyoza to start too. 
Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
Pork Katsu Curry 
Here’e the Teppanyaki. This is Kurabota Pork. Nice and not too dry, well done. 
And the beef, tender and just done right. The charred fatty bits on are on the right.
It’s not bad, but the price is quite up there. Not sure that the price is worth it.
