Fox’s cooking show, MasterChef, remained one of the most loved shows. Season 15 was won by Jessica Bosworth and Jesse Rosenwald, and now Season 16 is on the cards, and it has already begun with the very first audition on April 16, 2026.
For the unversed, this season the theme will be having a World Cup-inspired twist, which means the best home cooks who will be running in the next race to be America’s next Master Chef will be from the USA, but will represent four global territories, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. The first audition marked five home cooks from Europe who had their hands on the white aprons, which means the ticket to the show. But who were they? Let’s have a look at the first white apron earners on MasterChef 16, along with a recap!
