Vegetarian pizza. I call it the fun guy just like me. It's gonna be all
Mushrooms and what is this? That's a made a duck sell chopped mushrooms onion little garlic or cookdowns. That's good
Thank you, David. Best of luck. I'm making a seafood pizza with white sauce
It's sort of like a cookie stage off, but I'm doing it on pizza dough, even though I was knocked down
I'm not out of the game. I'm here to stay. I
Like what David's doing? He's had a little cream to his Duke sell so it's made it very creamy and rich five minutes
Five minutes left. You know what a really elegant pizza is is what it has the fried egg on top. I love that
It's hot in here as long as these quail eggs cook up nice
We're golden. Come on. Come on. Come on. My egg needs to come together
Down to the absolute wire 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3

Smells like pizza in here
The eggs not quite where I want it to be
It looks it looks perfect. The shiitakes are nice and brown. I'm happy
After observing and sampling throughout the challenge the judges will now take one final look to select the top pizzas for tasting
You had 60 minutes to create a MasterChef worthy artisan pizza
There are three pizzas that we can't wait to take a closer look at
The first home cooked we like to call up made a pizza that show both finesse and craftsmanship
They better try this pizza. It looks
Please come up David
Go on Dave. All right, Dave. I
Call it the fun guy. It's got a portobello duck cell base some mazataki mushrooms
Chantelle mushrooms and no key mushrooms and a white balsamic dressed arugula
That crust it's a lovely crunchy with a little chew to the center
Absolutely, wonderful. Thank you. Chef. You've taken a single ingredient
Mushrooms and made it shine on your wonderful pizza
Nicely done. Thank you, chef
It looks like something I really want to sink my teeth in
the arugula
Perfectly flavored with a little bit of acidity from the balsamic breaks into the richness of the cheese. I like it
Thank you, chef. David. How we doing? Good chef. How are you? I'm doing awesome. Tell me what the dish is
I'm doing a quail stuff with the tops from all the veg and then I'm gonna roast them together with the legs and then
Plate it with all the beautiful veg that you provided
You're the only one so far that's doing something stuffed and has devoned the legs
So that's like showing me that you have a ton of skill and that you also are like driven
To getting it to the next level now. It's do you have the wherewithal to make it happen? I do. All right
They look good. I'm excited. Thank you one minute
Judges are gonna be impressed by my plating. It should be as close to Graham esque as possible
I hope the judges want to taste this
Eight seven six five four three
One
The judges will now take one final look at the dishes for tasting the winner of this mystery box will receive a huge advantage
In the upcoming elimination challenge
I've been in the middle in this competition for the most part and I have to be called up to that podium
I want to have the best dish
now it's customary for us to taste three dishes in a mystery box challenge, but
We're gonna try one more dish. I'm a hundred percent. Sure. They're gonna call my name. They have to please step forward
David
David of course
It's a stuffed quail with seasonal roast veg and parsley aioli, I love this plate
It's very very natural and organic. Where'd you get the idea for this? I actually love working with whole animals
It's a small one, but I just like doing that type of preparation. I
Love the sauce
Nice roast on the vegetables nice color on the skin
This is a dish that not only is it delicious, but it's one that you want to photo and like, you know
Tweet to everybody good job
Now we're going to take a moment to discuss the four best dishes
Standing up there. I have butterflies in my stomach. I would love to have an advantage
Finally to think that none of them get paid to do this
These guys can easily be in a restaurant there's a lot of stand-up dishes
Okay, so we know who it is. Absolutely
I want to win this mystery box challenge more than anything just to show Graham Elliot what type of home cook I am
The person that made the best dish in this mystery box challenge a big congrats
The person that made the best dish in this mystery box challenge big congrats
David you should be very very proud of being able to put that dish together in my cooking life
I've never been so happy because Graham Elliot actually noticed how much passion I put into that dish
Thinking a little bit outside the box
I'm doing a pan roasted lamb with boiled pistachio nuts and then pureed and a sweet potato puree
Having Claudio in the kitchen with us gives us added pressure
Love it
Hey Sabrina, hi chef. You almost seem to calm as if you're just you know cooking for a Tuesday night supper
It's funny that you say Tuesday night because she's a nice my date night at home. Oh, is that right?
So so I'm cooking for my love. I'm cooking for my boyfriend. He is my number one fan
It's tough being away for a while. It's
Look forward to tasting it. Thank you, chef
I'm making a very complicated dish wine poached pear and that's a couscous with celery carrots
And I'm gonna deep-fry some sweet potatoes
I've never won a mystery box and I'd sort of like to win at least once
15 minutes
I'm close to plating. Oh
Come on show off. What's he doing? I think that this challenge is just too easy for fun
How's everyone doing Michael put a pistachio crust on his lamb just like you've done but he didn't see her off his land at all
Wow, I like the idea of cutting the lamb. I think it's smart of Jennifer to attempt this
David is not doing a class with pistachio. He's actually making a puree which if he pulled off would be amazing
I'm gonna change this plate. I want it to look tighter and cleaner
Looks good
Please come up
David
Every time I'm in the top three David gets called and David wins it
It's a lamb rack with a sweet potato mash and a pistachio puree
the lamb cooked beautifully your sweet potato beautiful soft and creamy each
Component stands out on their own
What I think you could have done is maybe used three lamb chops because when you're presenting often the odd numbers look so much more
aesthetically pleasing on a plate
Well done great dish. Otherwise David
David
David is a savory cook
This might not be in Dave's comfort zone
I'm scared about this ice cream maker. I don't know what I'm gonna do. This could send me home
I've made ice cream before but not in an hour. I want to make sure I solidify myself in the top four
Ice cream is the most difficult thing in this challenge because of the time you have 60 minutes
You have to make your ice cream base eggs sugar scalding your cream
Infusing the flavors cooling it down and then churning it in the ice cream. It's a tricky process
David what flavor of ice cream are you making? I'm doing a vanilla bean time and lemon
I'm gonna do it over top of a blueberry cake. That sounds very interesting
What do you think presents the biggest threat for Lynn right now the guy doing the ice cream?
I'm not gonna go out without a fight. Good luck. Thank you chef
David's taking his ice cream out
It's still a little bit soft Wow. It looks a bit loose. It's a little thin
I have to start freezing this darn ice cream got to get into the freezer. It's got to work
Looking pretty good
Look at Sabrina. She's still with the pasta. We are either about to taste the freshest pasta. We've ever had Oh, no pasta
David's got everything on his plate except the ice cream. He's leaving it down to the wire
It's time to taste what each of you have pulled off with the instruments that you were assigned
David please bring your dish to the front
What you call this dish?
This is a vanilla bean lemon thyme ice cream on a blueberry cake with candy time a blueberry coulis
That's a lot to pull off at 60 minutes. Is this the toughest challenge you've had yet? Oh without a doubt
David that is
Spectacular the richness of that perfectly formed scoop of ice cream beautiful silky smooth
The time does come through there are little thyme leaves in there genius the sponge cake warm
It's absolutely a heart-warming dish
And these little blueberries, what did you do to these blueberries made a simple syrup and coated them to give them a nice little glaze
But your lens dying to taste this. Yes, I am actually
one word
Sublime it's extraordinary. I wish your family was here to watch
What you've done?
Me too. Incredible. Please go back to your station
One thing's for sure. I'm not afraid of an ice cream maker anymore
There was some interesting techniques approaches
This challenge is about adapting to what you're given and making the best with what you have. We have a tough decision to make
Okay, let's go
Today Linda signed each of you a tool. She thought would trip you up and in more than one case
She was right
But one home cook rose to the challenge and that home cook was
David
Best dish with an ice cream machine in 60 minutes
It's cool, then. I
Just can't believe I can win on dessert. This feels incredible
The next thing I know I have a fire. I am in full flames
Thank God I didn't overcook the venison David
Yes, chef, so I saw the big fire there, but everything's under control, right? Yes. Oh you come from a big Portuguese family, right?
Yes, I do. So this should not be a big problem for you 21 dish
That's probably about one quarter of what you usually do for big family gatherings, right? You're absolutely right chef
Unfortunately, I usually start a day before not three hours before I hate to tell you this David. Okay, you don't have three hours
Thank You chef, I feel like I've been peeling these beets for hours
It's taking forever and time is burning up on me. I need to start this pickerel right now
With the clock ticking down the 18 guests who supplied today's food are already being seated in the vineyards dining room
And while David Lynn and Sabrina are almost finished plating their dishes
Cody's pickerel is just coming out of the pan
This one plate is everything I'm either packing my bags or going to the top David
Would you please describe your dish today?
We have a venison loin with braised kale a puree of squash
Also a trio of the beautiful beets and a red wine reduction
Did you get the smoke on the venison you were looking for at times?
There was a little bit too much smoke. But yes, I did get the smoke. I was looking for it looks stunning
Can't wait to try it. Thank you, David. Thank you
This dish looks amazing. It tastes amazing. But you know what everybody's is gonna be amazing today
We're all fighting for the same thing. So I think the plating is really quite attractive elevated
It's got a certain level of sophistication
But it's it's a little unusual and has a free spirit to it
Also looks like you did a great job here on the cook of the venison. It's perfectly seared
You have this wonderful medium-rare in the middle
I mean what a fantastic job if I was to make my small complaint the balsamic glaze is too thick
If this was just a slight bit thinner and I can get all the beetroots and all this coming together. It would be just perfect
David's venison was very good. It melted in my mouth you four finalists are great home cooks and
Yesterday you confronted your toughest challenge ever and you all did an excellent job
You should all be very proud
Choosing the best dish was incredibly difficult
Especially given what is riding on this decision?
the winner of yesterday's challenge will instantly achieve what you've all been working so hard for a
Place in the MasterChef Canada finale after a long and careful deliberation
We came to a decision
My heart is racing right now
I'm not breathing, right? I've never felt this way ever the person who will now advance to the finale
Who is a giant step closer to
$100,000 and the life-changing MasterChef Canada title is
David
This is truly truly amazing. I've never felt so good
From 50 people to 16 people to the last two, I can't believe it. I'm here
Congratulations, David
Your stunning venison dish has earned you your very own chef jacket. I
Haven't felt this happy since my children were born
It's like a glove like a glove. Please head upstairs to the gallery
Olive oil olive oil. I'm making pasta keeping it simple truffles gotta be the star
Hi, David. Hello chef ever cooked of truffles that I've never done. What do you make a truffled ricotta?
Any latte who do you think is this week in this group here anybody from a small town?
Anybody that doesn't have these types of products readily available is gonna be a tough ingredient for them including myself
There's not too many troubles in Surrey
in minutes
David's really cutting it close. There's a risk of me not finishing but I'm gonna get it. I don't give up easy
If my eggs not poached perfectly, I'm going home
You should be plating by now
All of a sudden it's like 10 seconds left. I'm like, holy jeez
nine eight seven six five four three
two one
Just another ten more seconds to finish it off
Would have been golden. I
Really think it looks beautiful
It's like a piece of art. I put this on my wall
David, please bring up your dish
So before I tuck in
Tell me about your dish. It's a truffled ricotta. Any latte the shaved truffles on top?
Well looks alone. It certainly is a restaurant quality dish
Pasta is
Delicate light fluffy dances on your tongue and then that rich creaminess of the ricotta cheese
With that secondary flavor of the truffle and then a sauce that is big and rich
It's definitely the kind of dish. I'd like to put on my restaurant menu. Thanks. Wonderful and all done in an hour. It was close
What do you do again for a living I'm a concrete guy
It's like a trained chef did this
It's one of the best dishes I've had so far. Thank you. It's incredible
David knocked it right out of the park. He knows his stuff and I respect that David, please bring up your dish
I'm just hoping that this appetizer dish was a good idea
My dish is tomatoes five ways with crispy sweet breads and a salsa verde
It looks beautiful
It's like a garden with little rocks. It's good to take nature as inspiration when you present a plate
David
the foam
It's one of the most innovative things I've ever tried. It goes from a solid form to liquid. It just pops in your mouth
But one small misstep
You left the outer membrane of the sweet bread, that's what's making it tough. It's an easy misstep to make
But overall fantastic dish
The pickled tomatoes the salted tomato. I love green tomato
That was wonderful and the sweet bread to me it worked and it worked well
Did you inspire me a little but it's difficult to inspire the demon chef a lot
It's interesting that you chose a sweet bread to go with the tomatoes
Because it's a unique and interesting combination that in fact does work
Other than that little chew that I had the crispiness of it was right on the money
As I look at my dish, I'm happy with it. It looks like a restaurant quality dish
David please bring up your entree
This entree is very personal to me. I just hope I'm making my mom proud
My dish is a wild boar belly with guitar clam and brown butter carrot puree. It's an exquisite looking dish
David you're taking the inspiration from clam and pork. I
Mean, that's just right up my alley, you know Asians
We love to make seafood with me doing that clam with this wild boar
Perfect complement the combinations of textures of everything. It just goes together
the clam
Is so tender
It is the thing of beauty very sophisticated humble dish from a very sophisticated humble chef
Your wow factor on this plate is the wild boar belly
Herbs and a little citrus seasoned beautifully
Absolutely delicious we chefs love to be surprised and you surprised us with this dish nicely done
He's still got to put his meringue on it's gonna be in seconds if he pulls this off
This calls to the title of MasterChef Canada
Now it's time for the most important tasting of your culinary lives
David please bring up your dessert
My dessert is a lemon curd parfait on a graham cracker sponge base with meringue
Are you as surprised as we are that you pull this off?
Wasn't gonna give up not today. No way. Can't wait to try it. I
Really adore all the flavors. The presentation to me is
Unique there's so many textures happening here. You have crunchy from the meringue soft from the mousse
The cake is sensational
flawless
No, David. I am impressed. You really elevated your wife's lemon dessert here
Start the show really is this
Lemon curd because the sharpness and the sweetness that balances perfectly this to me is heaven in the spoon
The mousse is a light and fluffy and delicate
The lemon curd if that had not made it to the plate, this would not be a successful dessert
It's very well done. Thank you
