Masterchef is a popular show in Australia that is now coming to the United States. To tryout for Masterchef in Chicago go to Sur La Table at Main Street Promenade, 55 South Main Street. Naperville, IL 60540.

The open call times are 11 AM to 4PM. Please be aware that the show is not casting pro chefs. They are looking for contestants that have a love of food and cooking without any professional experience. People who are chefs by trade will not qualify to be on the show.

Unlike other popular cooking and chef reality shows such as “Top Chef”, Masterchef will focus on amateur cooks who do not have any formal training. Through the show they will be mentored and taught the skills of fine cuisine.

The show is produced by Gordon Ramsey, the same man who brought us “The Biggest Loser”. These auditions are ONLY for amateurs and people who love food and cooking. Professional chefs will not be cast on the show and should not attend any of the shows open calls.
