MasterChef Australia is hitting the road in partnership with Visit Victoria.
In three episodes airing from Monday, 7 June, judges Melissa Leong, Jock Zonfrillo and Andy Allen are travelling alongside our top 14 contestants and crew, with a series of culinary challenges in regional seaside and country locations, as well as in the heart of Melbourne, filmed in March.
Taking the competition outside the MasterChef kitchen for the first time in two years, the MasterChef team is thrilled at the chance to savour the sights, local produce and hospitality on offer.
Travelling down the Great Ocean Road, first stop is Apollo Bay to show off the region’s exquisite seafood and beautiful coastline, before heading to the countryside on Tuesday to explore the quality produce against the beautiful backdrop of Daylesford, hosted by celebrated chef Alla Wolf-Tasker at her Dairy Flat Farm.
Then on Wednesday, the creative energy of Melbourne’s CBD is on display with contestants challenged to create delicious dishes as inspired by Melbourne’s unique urban culture, incredible architecture and world-class food scene.
MasterChef judge Jock Zonfrillo said: “To be able to take the show on the road to regional Victoria was awesome. Victoria has so many incredible local producers and hospitality offerings, and we had a great time in Apollo Bay and Daylesford. To explore Melbourne’s vibrant food culture and to have these wonderful regions quite literally on our doorstep is such a special gift.”
While many Australians can’t visit these fantastic locations at the moment, they can support local hospitality businesses through Click for Vic – a digital platform launched by Visit Victoria that collates a wide range of excellent Victorian produce, beverages and chef-prepared meals.
Visit Victoria CEO Brendan McClements said: “With MasterChef in Apollo Bay, Daylesford and Melbourne, the judges and contestants had the opportunity to soak up our beautiful coastline, taste their way through the regions and explore our buzzing city. Viewers can plan a trip to these stunning locations down the track or enjoy a taste of Victoria at home with Click for Vic.”
