‘He shovels in such a huge mouthful!’ MasterChef fans hilariously critique the way Jock Zonfrillo and his fellow judges eat food on the show
While MasterChef Australia might be all about the cooking, fans couldn’t help but notice this week how the judges taste test the food on the show.
Viewers flocked to Facebook on Wednesday to hilariously critique the way that Jock Zonfrillo ‘shovels in’ his food during episodes.
It came after one fan remarked in the MasterChef Banter 2020 group that they love the way Melissa Leong tries the dishes, after having being ‘disgusted’ and ‘revolted’ watching former judge George Calombaris eating on screen for years.

‘After Ten years of being disgusted and revolted watching George shovelling food down his gob, eating like this was the first meal of someone who had just gotten out of prison, watching him with his arm wrapped around the bowl guarding it as if he thought someone was going to steal it,’ their post began.
‘Oh and continuously licking his knife. I’m totally enjoying watching Melissa eat.’
They added: ‘She eats each bite so daintley, so seductively, with such obvious pleasure, I am enthralled and happy.’

In 2015, George Calombaris told Daily Mail Australia some secrets from the show and revealed that while viewers are fascinated by the ‘hot’ appetising food they see, the dishes being judged are actually eaten when they are cold.
‘It has always been cold and it always will be cold but we taste everything hot off camera,’ George told Daily Mail Australia.
‘So at the end of the cook, you [viewers] don’t see that – no one sees that apart from the three of us and the executive producer. We will go around the room and the three of us will taste everything hot out of their [contestants] pot.
‘It looks sexy on TV but it takes time to film. So when you see us tasting at the end – it’s cold but I’ve already made the decision, I already know what it tastes like.’
Judges Jock, Melissa, and Andy Allen replaced George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston on the show earlier this year.
