MasterChef Turkey was shaken by a hygiene crisis during the preliminary round. A piece of string forgotten in a dish presented by a contestant disappointed the judges. Chef Mehmet Yalçınkaya refused to taste the dish, emphasizing hygiene, and the contestant's defense of "I forgot" could not prevent their elimination. This incident once again highlighted that cooking requires not only flavor but also attention and discipline.
The beloved competition program MasterChef Turkey on TV8 came to the forefront with an interesting incident during the preliminary round. This time, what was discussed on the platform where talents compete was the great carelessness of a contestant.
STRING CRISIS IN THE PRESENTATION
While the contestants participating in the preliminary round presented their best dishes to impress the jury, an unexpected detail was noticed in one contestant's dish. A piece of string was found on the plate of the contestant who wanted to stand out with a stylish presentation. This situation drew reactions from both the jury and the viewers at home.
The first person to notice the string was Chef Mehmet Yalçınkaya. Carefully examining the plate, Yalçınkaya could not hide his astonishment at what he saw. Immediately after, Somer Sivrioğlu and Danilo Zanna also expressed their reactions in the same way, emphasizing hygiene rules.
"I FORGOT" DEFENSE WAS INSUFFICIENT
The contestant stated that they used the string to prevent the dish from falling apart and to make the presentation look neat, but forgot to remove it at the last moment. The contestant defended themselves with the words, "I used a supportive material for the presentation, but I forgot to take it out," but this explanation did not convince the jury. Chef Mehmet firmly stated, "Hygiene comes first for us," and refused even to taste the dish. When the other jury members agreed with this view, the contestant had to say goodbye to the competition.
IT BECAME A TOPIC ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The incident caused tense moments in the studio and resonated on social media. While some viewers supported the jury's decision, others argued that the contestant's elimination due to a small oversight was a harsh consequence.
