variety.comJennifer Maas TV Business Writer Fourteen seasons in, Gordon Ramsay‘s Fox cooking competition “MasterChef” has found a way to reinvent itself once more: pitting generation against generation in a battle that will prove whether baby boomers, Gen X, millennials or Gen Z cooks have culinary supremacy.
Debuting Wednesday at 8 p.m., “MasterChef” Season 14 will begin with the audition rounds for the contestants that qualify as millennials (a group that usually encompasses those born between 1980-1994), followed by episodes devoted to whittling down the boomers (1946-1964), Gen X (1965-1979) and Gen Z (1995-2009) competitors.
For each of these rounds, judges Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez and Joe Bastianich will be joined by a culinary expert guest judge who has been brought on this season to evaluate their own generation: Priya Krishna for millennials, Lidia Bastianich for Boomers, Nick DiGiovanni for Gen Z and Christina Ha for Gen X.
