In MasterChef Argentina 2023 (Telefe, 9.30 pm), the reality show hosted by Wanda Nara, already the first 6 official participants have been defined. They were chosen from 24 candidates who had made it through the first stage in which 53 amateur chefs competed. The jury made up of Donato De Santis, Damián Betular and Germán Martitegui chose the 6 deserving of the apron that characterizes the cycle.
In yesterday’s broadcast, the three chefs also decided to eliminate four of the applicants who had passed the first stage from the apron race. As it stands, there are now 14 amateur chefs left trying to convince the judging panel that they deserve to enter the official competition.
“There’s a very good level, and that makes us happy,” Betular said earlier in the evening. “The level is good, but it still has to go up,” said Donato. And Martitegui warned that “the hearing phase is not over yet”.
The 24 candidates who passed the first stage of those hearings yesterday were divided into three groups. In all cases they had 25 minutes to make a dish with the ingredients they were given and without having to use all of them.
In the first group they had potatoes, eggs, shrimp, peas and parmesan to work with. While the candidates cooked, the judging panel visited their respective stations and advised them. Then came the time for the tasting and the verdict.
Of the top eight chefs, those who earned the coveted apron were dolphinwho is a student, e Stephaniededicated to the topics of press and communication.

THE REMOVED of that first group of applicants was the architect Natalia. The others continue to fight for a place on the reality show.
