What a fun #FoodTVChat we had last week with our Guest Host, Master Chef finalist Jason Wang! Not only did we have a great turnout of Jason’s fans but fellow Master Chef finalist Jeff Philbin dropped in along with Food Network Spring Baking competitor Dr. Fausto Barragan. If you weren’t able to make #FoodTVChat with Jason Wang on September 7th, please enjoy the highlights in our #FoodTVChat with Jason Wang below.

- One of the highlights of this season’s Master Chef so far was when Gordon Ramsey surprised eliminated competitor Gabriel Lewis with an offer to pay his way through chef school. It brought tears to our eyes for sure so we ask Jason about the vibe on the Master Chef set.
QB: We all FREAKED OUT LIKE WHOA! Did you see all of us with red eyes bawling like children? SOOO happy for @ChefsLife97 😍😍😍 #FoodTVChat

- We wondered what surprised Jason the most about his Master Chef experience.
QE: How close I became with all the contestants! Realizing how much I truly love food & cooking/how that brings people together! #FoodTVChat

- We asked Jason what the statement, “the best food is made from love” meant to him.
By taking the time to make something to share w/ someone, you give them a part of yourself! That’s such a treasure!!! #FoodTVChat

QG: You have to put yourself in your food. We all have stories & heritages & experiences… #FoodTVChat

- Jason is a musician and his “symphony” of flavors has been noted during the Mater Chef competition. We asked Jason what he thought Gordon Ramsey, Christina Tosi and Aaron Sanchez might have learned from him.
QI: Hoping they took away memorable images w/my artist’s eye for food & a sense of having tasted something beautiful made w/💗 #FoodTVChat
— Jason J. Wang (@JasonJangyWang) September 7, 2017
- Continuing with that thought we wondered if Jason had any tips for others hoping to be able to plate like an artist. Of course he did!
QJ: Always think about colors and shapes and textures! Opposites: soft with hard, crunchy with creamy, dark with light colors! #FoodTVChat
