Facts

[@daintydiagnostics7238]

No MasterChef is about showing cooking ability and creativity and making the dish unique to who you are as a chef. Everyone can make a simple southern style mac and cheese especially in MasterChef Australia where the contestants can actually cook at quite high level as opposed to the American version.

[@honinakecheta601]

@@daintydiagnostics7238 lol what? I don’t know what you’re implying, but if at least one person had made an elevated mac n cheese based off of soul food, they would’ve won. Also, soul food is not the same as “southern” food in America. Soul food is specifically a southern African American cooking style, unique in its own right. I think the judges would be very impressed with something like that, I also doubt they’ve ever had soul food so if it were cooked right they’d most likely love it

For prime time Sunday night on Aussie TV watching the umpteenth season of home cools trying to win an immunity pin, boiled pasta with bechemel sauce with bacon and breadcrumbs on top would make me feel annoyed too.

The problem is that I do not think any of the contestants know what (southern USA) traditional mac and cheese is to start with. Without that foundation, how are you supposed to elevate a traditional dish without creating something that is in reality not true to mac and cheese.
