Fox's "MasterChef" judge Graham Elliot knows a thing or two about restaurants, food and fatherhood. The Michelin starred chef from Chicago owns three restaurants, appeared as one of the "MasterChef" judges for four seasons and is a dad to three boys, Mylo, 6, Conrad, 3, and Jedediah, 1.
Tomorrow, Elliot is joining his fellow "MasterChef" judges Gordon Ramsay and Joe Bastianich on the premiere of a new FOX series, "MasterChef Junior." This culinary competition features pint-size home cooks between the ages 8 and 13 who are aspiring chefs. The young contestants will showcase their culinary smarts through challenges and cook-offs, similar to the adult version of the show. Tune in Fridays at 8 p.m. on FOX.
