A parody of the British reality show Masterchef, where a group of contestants are trained to be master chefs.
These contestants have battled against each other for weeks. This is their last challenge.
- This is it, guys. Treat us today. Spoil us. It's there for the taking.
- Last 10 minutes.
- Time's up. Well done.
First up, it's John.
- I love the colours, I love your presentation, I love your choice of plate. It looks professional. Visually great.
- Let's hope it is nice.
- Wow, that's great!
- Really lovely. Really lovely.
- Claire, this looks delicious. It's just making me salivate looking at it, which is what food at this level should do.
- Love it. The mashed potato for me is perfect. The sauce is rich and deep. It's quite simply delicious.
- The apple, although not unpleasant, is- is a big wash of sweet juice, which takes away all the butteriness and the other more subtle things, but that still would not stop me really enjoying that dish. Lovely, Claire, really lovely. It's beautiful.
David's main is a deconstructed chicken and mushroom pie on a roasted mushroom topped with puffed pastry.
- Wow. I've never seen a chicken pie like that, I must say. It just brings a smile to my face and- and I think, "hey, this guy's got imagination".
For dessert, David has made hot chocolate mouse.
- It's gonna have to be very very tasty for it to make up for its poor visual aspect. The chocolate mouse is rich, intense, chocolaty, as it should be.
- Visually, it lacks elegance and style but I think it tastes great. It tastes absolutely great.
- But there can be only one winner.
- We set out to find someone... who had something a little bit special.
(and I wait without you)
- Our professional Masterchef champion is...
(with or without you, with or without you)
-... Claire!
- Brilliant.
- Congratulations, well done.
- Brilliant.
(with or without you, with or without you. I- I...)

A professional cook would use more elaborated adjectives to describe food. The way they speak is, nevertheless, very elegant and British.
