We’ve chewed seven weeks, 27 contestants and over 100 dishes to get to this point: the rumble in the tum(ble), the beef that puts an end to all beef: the MasterChef NZ final of 2022.
Auckland cook and gin maker “Elegant” Elliot McClymont and Auckland cooking sensation “Saucy” Sam Low, barista and TikTok, go head to head.
These two have always been at the top of the leaderboard throughout the competition, so which of these chefs will claim the prize ($6,000 worth of appliances, a cookbook deal, six months’ worth of New World groceries, and the nation’s admiration) is a gamble.
Three/things
Facing the Finals: “Saucy” Sam Low and “Elegant” Elliot McClymont compete for the grand prize.
Join Stuff food editor Emily Brookes and Stuff Homed reporter and food fan Kylie Klein Nixon as they live blog about the masters’ mash from 6:45pm on Sunday, July 17.
