Masterchef Junior: Season 7, Episode 3

7 - 3: Under the Big Top

In the season’s first big team challenge, the top 20 junior home cooks test their leadership and communication skills in a bold carnival-themed competition. As 2 teams of 9 fuel 51 Circus Vargas performers with a delicious lunch, one team prepares seared salmon and the other grills NY strip steak. With at least 2 contestants on the chopping block, the home cooks must rise to the occasion in a birthday cake pressure challenge to prove their rightful spot in the competition.
