Master Chefs 2013 launched the Barangay Cooking Challenge

On it’s 7^th year Master Chef pays tribute to the culinary ability of the barangays with this years’ theme: Barangay Cooking Challenge: From Barangay Cooking Idols to Talented Master Chefs highlighting the everyday excellence displayed by carinderias, canteens, food stalls and home kitchens. This is a competition that will not only showcase their cooking skills but also must show other talent as well. Aspiring Master Chefs must incorporate a routing that wows the crowd.
