Legendary double Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jnr and vegetable expert and Masterchef veteran Gregg Wallace are on the hunt for a young chef who wants to make it to the top of the culinary world. Four chefs face a nail-biting elimination round. In front of Monica Galetti and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for the legendary Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of spinning sugar and a palate test of making bruschetta. The remaining three chefs then face the first of the two gruelling tests that Michel and Gregg will judge them on. They must make two dishes in 50 minutes from the central ingredients of mussels and razor clams. Only one of them can make it through to the quarter-final, moving a step closer to winning the title of Professional Masterchef.
