When will the 'MasterChef Junior' Season 8 finale air?

The 'MasterChef Junior' Season 8 finale will air on Thursday, June 23, 2022, at 8 pm ET. The 2-hour final covers the 'Road to finale' segment between 8 pm and 9 pm, while the finale itself will air at 9 pm on FOX.

Who are the top 2 chefs ready to take on the Season 8 finale?

Entering the semi-finals were Liya, Grayson and Ivy, who had to prepare three identical dishes for each of the judges. The young chefs had to cook in front of a live studio audience, which included their families who also served as inspiration for their dishes.

Liya wanted to celebrate her Asian heritage and thus went with a pork dumpling, complete with a salt and pepper blue prawn and spicy aioli. Grayson, on the other hand, went with pan-seared hamachi with crab, yuzu aioli and radish and finally, Ivy decided to make champagne beurre blanc with halibut, a celery root puree and white and green asparagus.

The competition was neck to neck as each of them put out restaurant-level dishes. However, the halibut that Ivy served Daphne Oz was raw. This led to her being eliminated. While everyone was sad to watch Ivy leave, it also meant that Grayson and Liya now found themselves entering the grand finale, all set to face off against each other and win the title of 'MasterChef Junior' Season 8.
