Who is 'MasterChef' Season 13 contestant Kolby Chandler?
In a heartwarming turn of events, Kolby, a 30-year-old entrepreneur from Houston, brought a unique backstory to the 'MasterChef' stage. As the son of a professional football player, Kolby found his passion in a different arena. Instead of sports, he forged a deep connection with his grandpa in the kitchen, where he honed his skills in the art of making gumbo. This upbringing shaped his culinary journey, leading him to present a tantalizing dish to the judges - Crawfish Etouffee with Parmesan Garlic Bread. Tiffany, one of the judges, cautioned that this dish was a "classic" and needed to be executed flawlessly. As the dish arrived, it was visually stunning, and the judges praised the perfectly cooked crawfish. With a spoonful, Joe couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow," indicating his sheer delight. In a surprising twist, Gordon dashed out to summon Kolby's grandfather, recognizing the significance of this moment. Requesting his grandfather's opinion, Kolby held his breath, hoping for the affirmation he had been seeking. When Kolby's grandfather tasted the dish, his response was nothing short of a proud declaration, "This is damn good. I'm so proud of him I don't know what to do." Gordon, concurring with the heartfelt sentiment, presented Kolby with a coveted white apron, symbolizing his advancement in the competition. It was an emotional conclusion to the regional auditions, leaving viewers deeply moved by the passion, dedication, and familial connection displayed on the 'MasterChef' stage.
