A MasterChef insider revealed that contestants and show staff are often given doggy bags after a cooking challenge.
Dog bags are common after her signature high-pressure cooking sessions on the show, according to a report in Tuesday’s Now to Love.
Judges take a bite, contestants snack, and what’s left is encouraged to take home and eat.
Speaking to the publication Stuff recently, judge Melissa Leong said she often only takes a bite out of the dishes on offer.
“Sometimes when something is particularly delicious, it’s really hard not to come back for a second, third or fourth bite,” she confessed.
