And lets not forget those short ribs.
Never forget the short ribs.
The strength of Miss Pigtails is her deep understanding and passion for her Southern roots.
Averys a bayou girl, and that is always reflected in her cooking.
She also called a bunch of grandmas darlin and that is just the cutest.
So, no pressure.
Avery, on the other hand, is sticking to her bayou roots.
Shell be cooking three courses of classic, yet elevated, Southern cooking.
The judges are excited by both menus, and accurately predict that this finale will be the closest yet.
Alas, only one can win because this is television and life is hard.
Shes cooking with high quality ingredients, and elevates them further with her technique.
Its a balance that even the best chefs have a tough time finding, and Addison is only 9.
Did you guys know shes only 9?
Gordon is apprehensive because only peasants eat soup as appetizers, I guess?
but once he gets a mouthful of that insanely vibrant green asparagus soup, hes no longer worried.
Its rustic, but classy.
So, I guess round one is a toss-up?
The drama is short-lived: The fish is cooked perfectly.
The only thing Gordon doesnt like about the dish is the fact that he has to share it.
Play nice, Gordon!
Graham tells Addy her dish is so tasty, its stupid, which I guess is a good thing?
I dont know, Im an old person.
The dessert needs to set, otherwise its soup (and we all know how anti-soup Gordon is).
Its no big deal, but she does lose some time and focus.
Luckily, Addisons a pro and she plates a perfectly set panna cotta in time.
Graham gives a thumbs-up to the texture and flavors, but thinks the proportion of plums is off.
Christina thinks Addison got the green tea flavor just right, and loves the cookie crumble; Gordon disagrees.
According to Christina, the cake is buttery and flaky, and the orange cream adds some refinement.
Graham likes that with only three-ish ingredients on the plate, Avery proved that less can be more.
Gordon seconds that sentiment, and applauds Avery for taking a classic dish and doing it well.
Well, when you put it that way, the answer is clear.
Gordon, Graham, and Christina anointAddisonas the winner of MasterChef Junior.
And thats all she wrote onMasterChef Juniorseason 4.
