There is $250,000 on the line when Season 16 of MasterChef crowns a champion in the finale on Wednesday night on FOX.

Whether you like Gordon Ramsay’s fire-and-brimstone approach to cooking or not, one thing that can’t really be argued is that he is likely the hardest-working chef in the reality TV space. To prove it, Ramsay’s two-part Season 10 finale of Kitchen Nightmares aired on FOX on Tuesday night. Now Ramsay is starring in the Season 16 finale of MasterChef as a judge alongside other celebrity chefs and restaurateurs, including Joe Bastianich and Tiffany Derry. The show focuses on a nationwide search for the best home cooks, and 20 chefs entered this season, representing four regions of the world, including Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and the Americas. The episode airing at 8 p.m. ET on FOX titled “Finale Part 2” will pick up where the first part of the finale left off last week with the top three finalists. The finalists include Heidi Muston of Fort Lauderdale, FL, who is of South African heritage and works as a yacht charter broker. Next is Peter Egede, a former banking consultant from Atlanta, GA, of Nigerian heritage. The final finalist is Jake Kelley from Alma, MI, a pharmacy technician of Mexican heritage. This finale has been a long time coming, as the season premiered in mid-April. The show took a six-week hiatus with the 2026 FIFA World Cup airing on FOX. It is a well-deserved finale, good enough to eat on Wednesday night.

In “Finale Part 1” last week, family and former contestants cheered on these finalists. They were tasked with creating three dishes, including an appetizer, entree, and dessert, all inspired by their cultural roots and backgrounds. Part 1 focused on the appetizer round, and Kelley stood out, representing Mexico incredibly well by making a taco dish that put him in the driver’s seat heading into tonight’s season finale. Egede has been close to elimination several times this season, but he also put a great foot forward in the appetizer round by serving steamed red snapper with pepper soup broth, red pepper glaze, and yam dumplings, making his Nigerian roots proud. Finally, Muston served a chili-marinated black cod with mango salsa and a fennel salad. The fish was cooked very well, but the judges weren’t convinced that everything around it complemented the cod. Both Egede and Muston must bring their best to catch up with Kelley tonight. The entree and dessert dishes will be featured in Part 2 of the finale. The stakes only get higher from here.
