As the winner, Hurt claims the $250,000 grand prize and will be an instructor at Camp MasterChef, a culinary camp for youngsters. He beat out fellow finalists Cesar Cano, 33, of Houston, and Ashley Mincey, 28, of Opa-Locka, Florida. During the two-hour finale, the three remaining home cooks were challenged to prepare a three-course menu for the judges. Hurt’s winning menu was as follows: Appetizer: Nashville hot quail with fingerling potato salad and poached quail eggs. Entree: Carabinero prawns with heirloom grits, shellfish au jus and crispy shallots. Dessert: Amaretto chess pie with a raspberry coulis and popped sorghum. Hurt, a native of Louisville, Kentucky, was mentored by judge Joe Bastianich during the season. But he also took a lot of inspiration from his mother, Michelle, who died in 2013. She was the person, after all, who taught him the culinary basics. “Every time I got ready to walk into the ‘MasterChef’ kitchen, I prayed to God and then I prayed to my mom and asked her to ‘cook by my side,'” Hurt said told the Louisville Courier Journal. “She was definitely cooking there with me during the finale. I know she’s incredibly proud.” Gerron was the underdog all season I'm so proud he and his southern roots showed up and showed OUT. 😭😭😭😭 #MasterChef — 🇭🇹 Nai 🇭🇹 (@MwenReleNaomi) September 20, 2018 And check out the winner of the”America’s Got Talent” finale.<doc-sep>Celebrity Masterchef: AJ Pritchard has a honeycomb DISASTER FREE now for the biggest moments from morning TV SUBSCRIBE Invalid email Sign up fornow for the biggest moments from morning TV When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.
