The 'MasterChef Junior' Finale: Who Are You Rooting For?

Tonight is the final episode of Masterchef Junior, the heartwarming hit series on Fox that has pitted talented kids against each other in the kitchen and showcased the softer side of the often-fiery Gordon Ramsey. Last week, America bid farewell to the adorable Abby, whose teary elimination almost made tough guy judge Joe Bastianich cry, and the steadier Adaiah.

The two finalists are 11-year-old Logan, the social media favorite, and 12-year-old Samuel, the more technically proficient and self-assured.

Samuel’s favorite thing to cook is a meal of pressure-cooked mushroom and pea risotto with crispy seared salmon and a frisée salad. For Logan, it’s smoked barbecue pork with Alabama white sauce, red sauce, and cole slaw. It’s clear these two are not picky eaters.

All of the contestants from this season will return tonight to cheer on both boys.

If you’re hooked, don’t be sad that it’s already finale time. Season Three will debut on January 6th.

And now, a few grown-up chefs:
