In MasterChef Argentina (Telefe, at 10.30 pm), the gastronomic reality show hosted by Wanda Nara, yesterday was charity Wednesday, where participants compete to win the silver and gold medals. The jury made up of Donato De Santis, Damián Betular and Germán Martitegui awarded the gold to Rodrigo and the silver to Antonio, who won it in an incredible situation. As soon as she won the award, comments exploded on Twitter.
At the beginning of the broadcast, “mystery boxes” appeared on the stations. Inside each of them was a card with one of the deadly sins. The jury explained to them: “You must use that sin that touched you as a source of inspiration to create an incredible dish.” They had 60 minutes to cook and 3 minutes to go to the market.
Donato warned them that each would have to work with one main ingredient. Those ingredients were on a counter hidden under a red cloak and they were different types of fish.
Antonio was touched by the sin of pride and had to ask what it was because he didn’t know the word. They explained it to him. And when she went looking for the fish, she found it a wren, something he had never seen in his lifeas he said.
With everything and against everything, the Salteño, determined to learn and improve himself day after day, he managed to make a “superb” dish in which he inserted a mock caviar of lemon and mint. Pure commitment, pure merit.
Antonio, to Martitegui: “Hold on with the fiction, damn it!”
When he presented his dish to the judging panel, a situation arose that made everyone laugh. “Tell me why this dish is superb,” Martitegui asked Antonio. And the participant replied: “For me it’s a superb dish because I wanted to go further, I wanted to implement new techniques, continue to play with the colors and shapes of the kitchen”.
“It’s pan-fried grouper, cauliflower puree, grilled mango, and lemon-mint mock caviar,” she explained. “How do you think it came?” German asked. “I liked the combination of grouper with lemon… For me it’s an excellent dish.” “Excellent?” insisted the juror. “Yes, excellent,” confirmed the jumper.
“I don’t know if you’re acting or if you’re really telling me“Martitegui told him. And Antonio gave him a hilarious answer: “I’m acting. Stop pretending, damn it!”
The truth is that at the time of the tasting even the members of the jury considered that the dish was excellent and that it earned Antonio his first medal in masterchefthe silver one.
