Newest Masterchef Canada Is Crowned (Spoiler Alert!)

A new Masterchef Canada has been crowned – BC’s David Jorge, a cement contractor, took the coveted title in last night’s season finale.

 “It’s beyond the money, beyond everything,” Jorge said in an interview at a CTV studio ahead of Sunday’s telecast (The Canadian Press). “I set a goal, showed up in Toronto with 50 people. Seven weeks later I walked out of there myself and it was amazing, absolutely, truly amazing. And the fact is that nobody can take that away from me now.”

Jorge beat out homemaker Line Pelletier for the $100,000 cash prize after a battle than consisted of creating an appetizer, main course, and a dessert. The winner was chosen by celeb chefs Claudio Aprile, Michael Bonacini and Alvin Leung.

“I don’t think anything slipped me up in the finale,” Pelletier later said. “I’m very proud of what I did, what I accomplished, and I wouldn’t change anything. It’s cooking and you wouldn’t think a cooking show would do that [but] for some reason it inspires and empowers people. Even though you’re from a small town (Edmundston), you can become whatever you want to become.”
