Are you the king of the grill? Do you consider yourself well-versed in the kitchen? Then maybe you want to try out for the new season of “Masterchef Canada” – CTV and Proper Television have announced where auditions will be taking place.
If you live in Toronto, there will be an Open Casting Call at 7am on August 10 and 11. Applicants are being asked to bring one prepared dish to the InterContinental Hotel at 225 Front St. W – there will be time to plate the dish but no kitchen facilities or plating supplies provided. All dishes will be tasted at room temperature and applicants must be able to carry everything they need into the audition room. Food will be judged for taste, plating, creativity, skill, and food knowledge. Potential hopefuls can visit CTV.ca and follow the links for full casting details and FAQs.
“We’re looking forward to meeting some of Canada’s best amateur cooks at the open casting call, the perfect end to an overwhelmingly positive casting process,” said Phil King, President of CTV Programming and Sports. “Canada’s amateur chefs are hungry to be a part of the series and we can’t wait to see what they cook up in Toronto.”
“The response to the initial casting has been overwhelming,” said Cathie James, Vice-President and Creative Director for Proper Television. “People are really excited by the prospect of being Canada’s first ‘MasterChef!’”
The Canadian version of the internationally acclaimed series “Masterchef” is slated for a winter 2014 debut on CTV.
