Grubhub Is Bringing The MasterChef Kitchen To Your Door

Have you ever watched MasterChef and wished you could taste the plated food the contestants whip up? According to a press release, food delivery service Grubhub has teamed with MasterChef network FOX to deliver the MasterChef culinary experience straight to your door. Starting today, if you live in one of 20 debut markets — including New York City, Boston, Chicago, and DC — you can Grubhub a MasterChef meal to enjoy at home.

MasterChef, which consistently lands in the number one spot for unscripted TV (via Variety), began as MasterChef USA, a spin-off from the UK's MasterChef, which aired in 2000 as a limited two-season series, according to TV Over Mind. In 2010, MasterChef USA returned but rebranded as MasterChef.

Hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, home cooks are given four challenges — an elimination test, a team challenge, a pressure test, and the fan-favorite mystery box — across one to two episodes. Contestants are booted off after the elimination and pressure tests. 

MasterChef began with 14 contestants vying for the number one spot. Over the years, the number of contestants increased to between 20 and 24, with season 10 offering an astounding 36 aspiring chefs.

Gordon Ramsay has been the throughline of the show's 12 seasons as host and part of the judging panel, which sees a rotation of other celebrity chefs and restauranteurs. Season 12, which began in May, features Ramsay with restauranteur Joe Bastianich and chef Aarón Sánchez returning as judges (via Parade).

According to a press release, MasterChef Table, which is MasterChef's first-ever brand program, features a curated 11-item menu filled with American comfort foods created by MasterChef alums Dorian Hunter (season 10), Gerron Hurt (season 9), Kelsey Murphy (season 11), and Michael Silverstein (season 10).

With choices of apps, mains, and sides, the menu features items like an Italian Hoagie Burger, Dorian Hunter's double patty burger with salami, provolone, and Italian seasoning; Gerron Hurt's Nashville Hot Mac n', which is mac and cheese topped with spicy chicken tenders; Keto chef Michael Silverstein's Queso-Smothered Texas Fajitas, featuring sliced steak, charred peppers, and onions, covered in white queso; and Kelsey Murphy's Skewered Shrimp Elotes, which is grilled shrimp served on a bed of deconstructed Mexican street corn. The full delivery-only menu is available on Grubhub.

"We're always looking for ways to deliver new experiences to diners. Our partnership with MasterChef gives them exactly that, a seat at the table in the comfort of their home," says Marnie Boyer, vice president of Growth Marketing at Grubhub, in a statement. "The MasterChef Table virtual restaurant adds more delectable food options to Grubhub's extensive lineup of eateries and provides an additional revenue stream to our restaurant partners."
