LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'MasterChef: Generations' Season 14 contestant Warren Coleman is a 70-year-old retired flight attendant, born and raised in Neptune, New Jersey. He has recently created history by becoming the oldest to grab an apron in the Fox cooking competition.

Warren visited Neptune High School and studied at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft. He loves traveling and has explored the diverse cultures around the corners of the globe. He is also a passionate participant in Carnivals. Before becoming a flight attendant, Warren was a model and a dancer.

He has around three decades of experience as a flight attendant which helped him explore a variety of cuisines from different states. He has also worked at McCann Erickson. The Fox show contestant prepared Chicken Piccata with Garlic Potato Puree, Asparagus, and Lemon Fennel Vinaigrette to impress the judges and enlist his name in history.

Joe and Linda Bastianich disagree over Warren Coleman's 'too simple' dish

Fox show judges, Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez, and guest judge Lidia Bastianich, loved Warren Coleman's Chicken Piccata, except Joe Bastianich. After the contestant presented the dish, Joe noted that it looked like a classic dish you would expect from a Boomer. Lidia was expecting the sauce, which she eventually found in Warren's dish. Gordon loved the potatoes, the chicken as well as Warren's personality.

Aarón was quite unsure about his dish at first but he eventually agreed with Warren and awarded him 'Yes'. Joe criticized Warren's dish and claimed that it was perfectly executed but for children. He called the dish "too simple" and gave him a 'no'. However, Joe's mother Linda disagreed with her son Joe and awarded Warren the deserving white apron.
