AfterChef Junior

AfterChef Junior

The only unofficial MasterChef Junior after show podcast in existence. (Probably.) Weekly post-episode recaps and discussion with hosts Jenni and Stacey and producer Max, hashing out the wins and losses, coolest outfits, most GIF-able moments, dealing with our own personal youthful failures, and dreaming about who would be our best friend if we were still 12.

Junior MasterChef Australia S01E04: How Do We Like Our Lamb

May 3, 2020
Four episodes in, Junior Masterchef actually begins and we see the show we've wanted all along. Points! A leaderboard! No eliminations! A Robbie Williams theme song! The children elaborating on their future restaurant dreams! The catchphrase "If there's no pasta, it's a disastah!" We're sorry we ever doubted you, Australia.

Junior MasterChef Australia S01E03: The Sicilian Twins

April 22, 2020
It's episode two or maybe three — there's no way of possibly knowing — but the parents are still there. With the introduction of a snaggletoothed smile and a pair of overachieving Sicilian Twins, the hosts of the universe's most unauthorized Junior MasterChef Australia after show have to admit there may be some charm to this decade-old reality show after all.

Junior MasterChef Australia S01E02: Sewer Crab and Cravats

April 15, 2020
We accidentally watched the second episode of the first season of Junior MasterChef Australia series so everything we talked about last week was just flat out wrong. But we persevere, through internet incompetence, surly attitudes and a crush on the "bad boy" judge. Because we are professionals, coming to the table ready for action, much like a hungry man in a cravat waltzing into a warehouse a posse of meat forklifts.

April 4, 2020
We've all got a lot of time on our hands right now, except Max for some reason. But he's going to squeeze the ladies always by his side into his schedule as we kick off a very special Quarantine Season of AfterChef Junior. This episode is more of the pre-game analysis, as we debate which of the many variations and back episodes of the MasterChefiverse we should explore over the coming weeks. Spoiler alert: it's a Junior MasterChe...

For the last time this season, experience the hosts of AfterChef Junior discuss kidnapping the children next door, showing off their Southern accents and, once again, using the phrase “Cincinnati’s famous pumpkin chilli” for absolutely no good reason. Thanks for a magical season, friends! If you can hit us up ...

MasterChef Junior S07E08 & S07E09 Recap: Cincinnati or Bust

May 4, 2019
We can barely focus on anything this episode as we discover that MasterChef Junior LIVE is coming to American cities nowhere near us, but somehow, we power through. In a very special double episode, the experts at AfterChef Junior discuss last meals and the lure of Cincinnati, and worry extensively about whether or not the Kids Bop crew are experiencing a healthy childhood.

MasterChef Junior S07E07: Kids Are Here to Eat, Not to Die!

April 23, 2019
The threat of murder-by-chicken cast a shadow over what should have been a fun day out at camp, but that sort of traumatic pressure is exactly why we tune into this family friendly show and then provide family friendly commentary to match. Apologies in advance that we’re going to be talking about Gordon’s butt briefly, BUT we also have Chef Evie on the podcast today so hopefully her charms and leadership skills make up for our vulg...
