LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Scott is a 54-year-old business consultant from Southlake, Texas, and a contestant on ‘MasterChef: Generations’. Growing up as a latchkey kid, he learned to cook out of necessity after coming home from sports practices starving. His passion for cooking is deeply rooted in his family history, and attributed to his great-grandfather. 

For his audition, Scott prepared a Mustard-Fried Venison Backstrap with Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Southern Cream Gravy. While Gordon Ramsay appreciated the dish's presentation and texture, he found it slightly bland but still gave Scott a yes. Christine did not think the venison worked well in the dish and found the gravy lacking flavor, giving him a no. Aaron enjoyed the dish and supported Scott, but Joe Bastianich was critical of the dish, calling it a "flop venison" and ultimately denying Scott the apron. Despite the setback, Scott remains passionate about cooking and his dream of opening a family restaurant.

Scott wants to open his own family restaurant 

Scott, a 54-year-old business consultant from Southlake, Texas, has a dream of opening his own family restaurant. His passion for cooking began out of necessity when he was a latchkey kid, coming home from sports practices hungry and having to cook for himself.

This passion runs in his blood, as his great-grandfather, Billy McKinnon, was a successful restaurateur in Houston and Dallas from 1914 to 1930. Scott's goal is to revive the family legacy by opening a restaurant on McKinnon Street, named after his great-grandfather. Despite facing challenges on ‘MasterChef: Generations’, where his dish received mixed reviews, Scott remains determined to pursue his culinary dream and honor his family's history in the restaurant business.
