TLDR: GOT SELECTED FOR MASTER CHEF, NEED HELP, WILL PAY ON LIVE TV WACKY HIJINKS AND RANDOM TOMFOOLERY
Has anyone here ever been on a reality cooking show? As in master chef?
I sent a tape, thinking I wouldn't get chosen, and somehow they saw through my autism and selected me into the final stage. Down from 4000 entries, only 200 candidates are left.
The final selection will take place within a week.
Are you a cute girl? Are you blind? Do you wear a hijab? Are three of your limbs missing? Do you have PTSD?
They don't care about your cooking skills, they just want telegenic story time and drama.
If all else fails, practice crying on cue.
Angel Sanchez
This. Tell them anime ruined your life.
Matthew Lee
make beef bourguignon
Sebastian Gomez
I'm a quadriplegic pansexual slothkin currently studying the q'ran (asallah maleykum)
I cook with a knife on a stick
Jack James
Just rember to keep autism as low as possible If you can't you will look like a memeing sperglord
Easton Butler
you better fucking meme if you get on the show you spergfuck.
represent! pan nice and hot, give it the old shake-ah-shake.
Jordan Ramirez
This.
you are auditioning for your ability spin an easily digestible trope, if you can play the over-confident guy they will ask you to play that up in the post-interview feels session. You generally just want to be vague and emotional so they pick you. Make sure your dish has a story that you can spin as your own...
It doesn;t have to be your signature dish, maybe your nonna taught you this and your dad had a version but you are branching out and trying to be your own man.
Cameron Morales
Master this pose. It's called the BIG GUY pose. Also have some catchphrases ready and use them when appropriate. For example: >bane? >you don't get to bring friends >for you >nows not the time for fear........ that comes later
Mason Sullivan
nobody cared who OP was until he put on the apron.
James Davis
Oh shit this is a good one. Now you have to win OP.
Jace Parker
you have to work some Veeky Forums memes into the show OP.
Lucas Myers
Tell them your nickname is Opie.
Leo Ortiz
Tell them that you've been told by friends and family that you have the skills of Ramsey and the attitude to match it.
You never accept anything less than 110% in the kitchen and constantly go into meltdown whenever the judges speak to you while you're cooking
Jacob Reed
Make anime food exclusively
Gabriel Sanders
I will fail autistically and unintentionally. That's for sure. What could I cook though?
Xavier Cooper
This. It's TV. TV comes first. You can create a fucking epic world class ratatouille like the movie, but if they wouldn't care if there wasn't a disaster behind the scenes or some drama or a sudden come-from-behind victory.
Dylan Jackson
And you're a faggot
Alexander Edwards
Tendies with homemade ketchup. Keep a pee bottle in your back pocket for when the judges kick you the hell off the show.
Jaxson Thomas
This.
Liam Watson
Make a rice risotto that Ramsay doesn't scream at you for ruining.
Jack Gray
If you actually make it far enough to get on tv, please throw a "Wa La!" in somewhere along the line.
Nathan Martinez
When will you know if you're chosen? Please deliver
Jaxson Ross
What kind of Jack references could OP make?
Brody Johnson
Say you're part of the alt-right. It's topical and they might use you for the villain.
Ethan Sullivan
*viola
Hudson Hall
If they ask your favorite food mention the McChicken or tendies.
Ayden Hughes
For these shows they either pick you because you're good, or more likely because you're wacky or some shit. Just don't fuck up goddamn scallops
Carson Fisher
Yeah, helps to have a back story that stands out a bit, or be from a region or upbringing with an unusual culinary take, or look fabulous, or have a way of passively aggressively pissing off other contestants...*something* they can stitch a story around.
Nolan Perry
>actually typing this out hello r.eddit!
Christopher Flores
It should probably be noted that Veeky Forums spergs now have a place on reality cooking.
There was that horrendously obvious brony NEET in the first season of the Great British Baking Show
Nolan Gomez
make them a mcchicken and tell them for you, it is the best comfort food sandwich
or, make Ramsey the toothpaste hotdog from twitter
Christian Russell
Drop some subtle baneposting, then link the episode on /tv/ Some baneposters occupy high positions on some networks you'll never know
Levi Davis
Name drop Jack and say he's the one who inspired you to cook.
Connor Fisher
Season-long cooking shows are about being enjoyable and having a good cast of people that the viewers will want to root for and watch every week.
If you're just a generic schmuck you're not gonna be wanted.
I was on worst cooks in america season 2. I didn't win (obviously) but assuming master chef is in any way similar to hells kitchen or food networks next TV star or whatever the fuck they're calling it nowadays, or top chef, it's 90% drama, 10% food.
The most important things to remember is listen to the staff. If they tell you to put on a glove, put on the god damned glove. Saw someone get replaced for not pretending he cut his finger.
John Adams
>I was on worst cooks in america season 2. Who were you?
Adrian Rivera
You better find a way to mention pink Himalayan salt if you make it.
Brayden Flores
Banepost
Reference memes in very sneaky way
Nathaniel Evans
matt crespi. I got the axe week 3. The show was real, we got to spend time with the chefs (I was on robert irvine's team), but a lot was played up. The audition process wasn't dissimilar to how master chef was the first few seasons here in the states. We brought in a signature dish, then they had us do menial tasks and gave orders over a megaphone, to see how we would react, and I assume they picked the group best suited to being on TV. In one section of my audition they had us chopping onions, and were watching us to see who was capable of doing it, and who was just totally retarded. They asked us to do things like dice and julienne and of course I was just a college student so I was fucking retarded and had no idea how to do any of that shit. Then they started walking up to us and asking us what we think would be a good meal to make with onions, do we season with onions at home, do we have any funny stories, do we cry when chopping.
It was like an interview, essentially. But I saw many many people get kicked from the audition due to not obeying the commands or trying to be TOO wacky/zany.
Easton Morris
hey there neighbor
Camden Nelson
Is this what a typical lover of a McChicken looks like?
Elijah Garcia
so do you like the regular mcchicken or the spicy mcchicken?
Jordan Martinez
more like this
Caleb Brooks
>matt crespi. your twitter is boring
Aiden White
Drop the "For me its the McChicken, the best fast food sandwich" while getting interviewed.
Aiden Allen
To everyone asking, or course I'll meme the shit out of it; but first I'll have to get in.
SO GIVE ME DISH IDEAS
Gavin Walker
Since they no longer try to appeal to an audience with a gross factor, go for something actually good.
Try making something either super healthy and light, or super dense and hearty, because the extremes are what will allow you to stand out the most as an applicant. No one wants to see chicken breast dressed up in some shitty generationally-passed sauce. They want something unique.
But also not unique enough that it's confusing to a viewer what your style of cooking is at home, so no molecular gastronomy. No fuckin FOAMS, mate.
Easton Miller
Stuff your pockets with spaghetti
Luis Nelson
No chicken foam. K.
Blake Clark
The love the "food truck chef" archetype. Roll up your sleeves and wear a bandana. And always look slightly like you don't want to be there.
Ian Baker
Make some ethnic cuisines. There's always a foreigner who only cooks their ethnic style for the whole damn show
Do some french cuisine with a wine based sauce and they will all suck ur 1337 dik
Bentley Hernandez
Wear a Pepe shirt
Austin Morgan
>rice risotto >rice rice
Cooper Nelson
My gf was on this. They try make you fuck up by keeping you exhausted, then rushing you into the kitchen to cook. The warehouse is freezing.
Stories work better than good food. Most of the competition comes from actual chefs who work in catering: no amateur wins these. At least be memoracle, don't cry and throw some subtle memes to the camera.
They made her cry, those fuckers. I swore revenge on the chef, but I've settled for spitting phlegm on his restaurant every time I pass.
Levi Taylor
Pretty cool user. I hope you're doing well.
Joshua Thomas
Do they allow a studio audience? Love to get tickets to a taping.
Cooper Cooper
this. at least hide a can of spaghetti-o's in there if you get on tv.
John Morgan
Make a cassoulet. Pretty simple and reheats well
Nathan Torres
RAMEN SUNDAE
MILK STEAK
CHICKEN NUGGERS
THE MEMES ARE ENDLESS
Colton Wood
>or, make Ramsey the toothpaste hotdog from twitter
oh fuck, this
Grayson Smith
I say go for the foams. Get fucking crazy with it
Daniel Rogers
>Name drop Jack and say he's the one who inspired you to cook.
Holy shit, do this.
Do the interview from the point of view of his son.
>muh dad always abused me while he was cooking >routinely fed me uncooked food, almost died several times >would chase me around the house with his pork claws when he'd been drinking
Owen Perry
It's not the US version. Is Latin America so most memes will pass unnoticed. I can still get some through, pepes would fly trough.
No professional cooks, or anyone with any formal cooking education.
They won't be supporting any type of hearing or cooling for this phase. So the dish should hold well in a cooler (warmer if I throw in a couple of heat packs)
Joshua Davis
Also should I trip for these threads? Just to jeep you up to date on my wacky hijinks
Sebastian Robinson
Yes
Sebastian Murphy
And tell them that cooking is the only thing that's keeping you from committing suicide.
This thread reminds me of my autistic dream of getting in Master Chef and serve exclusively dishes based on stuff from Shokugeki no Soma
Sebastian Evans
Fill a crockpot with Staggs chili and call it "OPs name" 's famous award winning chili. If they ask about the awards it's won say it won chili of the year on Veeky Forums in 2015-2016.
Brody Smith
why am i laughing at this
Cooper Jackson
>Shokugeki no Soma Is that a restaurant?
Jonathan Cooper
women cry when the wind changes direction slightly. hardly a reason to be upset enough to swear revenge on the chef
Josiah Carter
Also, quinky sauce on everything
Kayden Miller
Bump, any news OP?
Brayden Baker
Me gusta mc tendies senor
Eli Barnes
i was in masterchef in my country. it was pretty cool. honestly, no real tips apart from be yourself, learn as much as you can both during and before the show. don't let them style you to a fucking douchebag
Henry Bell
I'm more rustled at the implication that shit is new or something only found in niche grocery stores, than about it being "hot".
Chase Cook
Tell them Jacks cooking show is your inspiration
Eli Wright
Women cry. That's just what they do. Don't get bent out of shape. She probably just wasn't used to the pressure and there's no handholding with this sort of thing.
Aaron Jenkins
Proof you're not LARPing. Time stamp a letter or a photo of yourself.
Jace Walker
>cook a dish using beer >way before adding beer, say "now's not the time for beer.... that comes later"
Sebastian Clark
Yes absolutely do that OP. Study the Mango extensively, and only make dishes from it for challenges. It would be a great troll.
Christian Gray
Not in latin america Normies here still use "Pepe la Rana" for their horrible memes Country?
Landon Morales
It is the single greatest thing to have ever been produced by Japan.
Benjamin Ramirez
>a live fucking turtle
Carter Wilson
Open here. I will post proof after Saturday. Hopefully I'll get one of the fifty spoons.
I think I decided on osso bucco with polenta.
Nolan Jones
voting for this
Mason Lewis
masterchef america?
jeez just shit in your hand should be good enough for the judges and the viewers
