Masterchef USA S13 preview

Twenty amateur cooks are about to be put through the reality TV mincing machine as they compete for the title of MasterChef 2023 and the chance to win $250,000. But have they got the culinary acumen to dazzle the exacting tastebuds of our judges, TV superchefs Gordon Ramsey, Aarón Sánchez, and Joseph Bastianich?

This season, titled MasterChef: United Tastes of America, will invite home chefs from across the West, Midwest, South, and Northeast to represent their region. Those gifted a white apron in the audition rounds will then battle it out against twenty other gastronomic mavericks in a series of high-pressure challenges, to impress the judges, avoid elimination, and be crowned this year’s MasterChef.

In the process of separating the amateurs from the pros, the contestants are asked to perform a variety of challenges. They’ll need to demonstrate their mastery of culinary techniques, prepare an exquisite meal with mystery ingredients, and feed large crowds in taxing team challenges that this year include a trip to Dodger Stadium.

Those who manage to blind-bake, blanche, steam and spatchcock their way to the finals are then tasked with preparing an impeccable three course meal with which to bowl over the judging panel and take home that life-changing $250,000.

Episodes 1 and 2 premiere on Wednesday, May 24. Follow our guide below for how to watch MasterChef USA season 13 – dubbed 'United Tastes of America' – online, and from anywhere in the world, now.

There’s currently a discounted rate of $2 a month for the next 3 months available with Hulu’s current promotion, available up until May 27 2023 when you opt in for the Hulu on-demand (with ads) membership.
