LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'MasterChef: Generations' Season 14 contestant Adam Hart is a 23-year-old ranch worker from Sedalia, Colorado. He dedicates his social media to showcasing his ranch life and sharing exciting adventures with friends and family.

The Fox show contestant cooks food for a team of young and hard-working ranchers. Adam Hart attended Armuchee High School where he was a member of the basketball team. Additionally, he has participated in a social drive by visiting a school in Jamaica. However, he wanted to be a professional chef and won the 'MasterChef' title.

He prepared a Lamb Souvlaki with Flatbread, Garlic Tzatziki, Pistachio & Mint Tapenade, and Greek Salad during his audition. Although Adam's dish was initially deemed 'not good enough' for 'MasterChef', he managed to impress three judges, Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez, and the guest judge, Nick DiGiovanni, and earned a spot in the Top 20.

However, Joe Bastianich was not impressed with the dish and criticized the cooking, particularly noting the 'dry lamb'. Joe gave Adam a no-vote. However, despite some criticism, the judges acknowledged at the end that, 'the pita bread was good," suggesting that Adam "is trainable."
