In this week’s mystery box challenge, the Top Seven must create an Asian-inspired dish that centers around one of the most prominent utensils in culinary history – chopsticks! The winner gets a huge advantage moving forward, leaving the remaining home cooks to compete in a pasta-themed elimination challenge.
Then, the Top Six split up in teams for a classic MASTERCHEF challenge – to cook for food critics, writers and chefs at a pop-up restaurant in a Southern California vineyard. Find out which contestants will be eliminated in the all-new, two-hour “Chopsticks & Pasta/Pop-Up Restaurant” episode of MASTERCHEF airing Wednesday, Sept. 6 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
