This episode of AfterChef, the universe’s top MasterChef after show podcast, features some very special guests: Youtube sensation JJ McCullough joins us as a substitute host, and Chef Mark checks in to reveal cracks in this reality show’s facade with little to no prompting. Gum and nuts may not go together, but this podcast and your ear holes sure do.

We may spend a lot of time talking about slaughtering chickens but ultimately, this may be our most family-friendly episode of AfterChef to date, featuring an exclusive reading of Jenni’s new children’s book. PLUS Max interviews Chef Sam! 

Love is in the air on this week’s episode of MasterChef USA as Chef Gordon Ramsay fake officiates a fake wedding, but there are big emotional reveals happening at AfterChef HQ, too as Jenni announces her new children’s book franchise, Max comes to terms with the “nude lip” look and Stacey refuses to stop singing.

There's a lot going on in this episode of AfterChef Junior, and the LEAST of our problems is recapping this week's NUTTY edition of MasterChef. We're debating the best way to cook a snail and trying not to have our feelings hurt that Jenni would obviously rather talk with Juni than her co-hosts... it's a full plate. 

Things start to get TOO ADULT TO HANDLE in the MasterChef kitchen with the insults and braids flying fast. Join the hosts of AfterChef Junior—the universe's most effective MasterChef recap podcast—as they discuss donut disses, the amount of money we would pay to never go on a brewery tour again, and the poetic value of the phrase "soggy like diaper." 

If you're allergic to crab like Shanika, take note: it's a shellfish heavy episode of AfterChef as we discuss whether or not crustaceans have faces, get JACKED UP in Adreneline Corner and pitch the newest Marvel Universe film with a certain time-crunched bus driver in the leading role. 

We may not have the "original spice boy" on our show but we still have plenty to offer as we recap the latest double episode of MasterChef: fashion tips for Aaron, speculation on Farhan's REAL identity and a brand new theme song for our segment about barfing! Put it in your ear holes and twirl like you're Alecia: this is where the magic REALLY happens.

We’re BACK in your ear holes and reporting on MasterChef: Real Adult Edition for the very first time in HISTORY. But while the contestants may be older and wiser, rest assured the hosts of AfterChef are very much are not. Join us for for an exciting new season of exclusive coverage of all things MCJ: how to squat on domain names to get Gordon’s attention, the value of human teeth (dollar-wise), kitchen hookups and whether or not “chocolate doctor” is is an appropriate title to put on your resume. 

AfterChef Junior is proud to be the first to offer you the breaking news that somebody definitely won this season of MasterChef Junior, probably we think. After viewing a version of the finale that didn’t “technically” have an “ending,” the ACJ gang brew up a pot of coffee and champagne and sit down to speculate wildly about the winner, make plans to infiltrate the next casting call and make an exciting announcement about their own podcasting future. 

Tune in for the most compelling commentary on children cooking fish the internet has to offer. While Gordon Ramsay was busy cos-playing as Mrs. Doubtfire, here at the AfterChef Junior World Headquarters, we had more important things to do. Specifically: sharing our favourite sardine-related memories, planning a bonding retreat for the MCJ judges, hashing out the exact requirements for becoming a nun and most importantly (pop those collars!) talking to “Golden Apron” Mikey.
