This week’s new MasterChef features another exciting generational bake-off challenge, and PopCulture.com has an exclusive clip. Airing tonight, Aug. 14 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox, “Birthday Bakes/Memory Lane” will see the chefs turning “to their baking skills when tasked with making a celebratory birthday cake. Later, the chefs work in teams to create a dish using a mystery box filled with different food items from their generation.”
In the exclusive clip, there is just one minute left for the chefs to finish their cakes, but some of them are a “disaster.” It’s between the Baby Boomers and Millennials, and honestly, anyone can take the cake. This challenge seems to be as stressful as ever, and judges Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez, and Joe Bastianich have their work cut out for them. Why this challenge was so difficult for some of the chefs is unknown, but every challenge has its, well, challenges. Of course, it’s easy for some and not easy for others, making it all the more intense but fun. These chefs were in it for the long haul, and from the looks of it, they needed much more time and, perhaps, a little bit of luck on their side.
