We were just speaking of a kinder, gentler Gordon Ramsay. And on the premiere episode of 'MasterChef' (Tue., 9PM ET on Fox), we get to see even more of his softer side. The new series follows amateur cooks from all across America -- each of whom more
Steak, eggs, potatoes. Everyone likes these things, right? It's pretty hard to go wrong with these ingredients. Unless you mess up one of the most basic elements. On 'MasterChef' (Tue., 9PM ET on Fox). contestant David makes "Poached E more
The first American winner of 'Masterchef' nearly lost it all thanks to a chicken catastrophe. In the season finale, head judge Gordon Ramsay chose Whitney Miller, a 22-year-old college student, over software engineer David Miller for the $250,00 more
Last week's winning 14 contestants finally entered the 'MasterChef' (Wed., 8PM ET on FOX) kitchen. The two teams' first challenge? Cooking for hundreds of Marines at Camp Pendleton. Gordon Ramsay then eliminated one chef on the losing more
