Anyone know where they were for the dinner for the 3 star chef's?

Looked like a dull generic city board room and why were they all sat in one line like the judges on the Great British Menu?

I assume its a restaurant as you could see them looking into the kitchen. I guess that's the places gimmick

Maybe. It seems unlikely they'd shut a decent restaurant so three amateurs can have a pop unhindered. I'd suspect it's a hotel's conference facilities.

I was going to say - given some of the camera angles on the outside shots it wasn't a million miles from Canada Square.

They did show a KPMG logo outside as the contestants walked in.

One wonders how the final cook off will be judged? In previous series of Masterchef (all) formats, the judges seem to make their decision based on the final cook off. Could this be Larkin's saviour as he excels when he cooks his own food?
I hope not, as that would not show how truly one dimensional he is, and would make him unaccountable for his previous dire form.

Natalie will win. Foregone conclusion from weeks ago (happy to be proved wrong).

Dale deserves it too. Larkin cooks a few dishes well, but not creative enough.

Suspect Dale will take it. Hasn't been much to split him and Natalie, who has arguably developed more over the series. But I think Dale would be a strong ambassador for the franchise.

Nice to see Masterchef raiding the Top Gear music library.

A lot of Batman/Zimmer and a lot of Two Steps from Hell going on in this series.

I have a feeling too Dale could take this.Maybe his approach to things gives him that edge for me.

Think it's going to be close between Dale and Natalie. Larkin should be out of contention really, he's been poor in the semi's and the final!

Although that Chinease food looks like Kowloon! Could be simply epic.

Also works for a roast chicken or other birds so that you slide butter/truffles/etc under skin.

Did I just hear Thomas Newman too?




Happy for all three finalists to win. These three have been my favourites from the minute they started.

Good luck to them all in the future whatever the outcome.
