THE SEARCH BEGINS FOR AMERICA'S BEST AMATEUR COOK ON THE SEASON PREMIERE OF "MASTERCHEF" MONDAY, JUNE 4, ON FOX

Part Two of Season Premiere Airs Tomorrow Night, Tuesday, June 5 at 9:00 PM ET/PT

In Part One of the two-night season premiere, award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay, restaurateur Joe Bastianich and acclaimed chef Graham Elliot return to the MASTERCHEF judging panel. After a nationwide search, only the best amateur cooks � including a stock broker, a professional opera singer, a plastic surgeon, as well as the first blind cook to enter the competition � were flown to Los Angeles for a chance to prepare their signature dishes and present them to the judges. The judges will taste for flavor, originality, creativity and presentation. But most importantly, the amateur cooks must demonstrate a genuine passion for food and a drive to win in order to earn a coveted white apron and move on to the next round in the all-new "Auditions #1" season premiere episode of MASTERCHEF airing Monday, June 4 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
