Yes, chef! Houston foodies can prepare for a night of high-stakes flavor and live kitchen drama during MasterChef All-Stars Live!, coming to the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land on Friday, October 17.
During its Houston-area stop, the multi-city stage show will give its audience a chance to experience America’s most famous kitchen in an up close and personal way. The live show starts at 7:30 p.m. on Friday night, and brings the excitement and surprise of all that is showcased during the hit TV competition to the stage for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.

Among the all-stars featured in this Friday’s show are past champions Michael Leonard and Gerron Hurt. Hurt, a Louisville, Kentucky native, earned the coveted Season 9 title by wowing judges Gordon Ramsey, Joe Bastianich, and Aaron Sanchez with his Southern-inspired fare. Leonard, who hails from New Jersey, more recently took home the Season 14 title.

The duo will be joined by fan favorites Rachel Sanchez and Julio Figueredo, aka the Fiery Cooks, who were finalists on Season 15 MasterChef: Dynamic Duos. Sanchez and Figueredo are the first Cuban and Brazilian finalists in the show’s long-running history, and their heritage is proudly shared through their cooking.
During the show, fans will be able to watch the chefs face off in real-time culinary battles, complete with surprise challenges, and create original dishes in real time on stage. Beyond the throws of competition, the chefs will share their insights on what it’s like competing on the show, under the pressure of the celebrity judges, open up the floor for questions, and share tips for at-home cooks.

General admission tickets start at $48, but super fans can opt for a VIP package, which includes the opportunity to meet the chefs, take photos, and an exclusive take home keepsake.
General admission and VIP tickets are available at SmartFinancialCentre.net.
