Well, John Torode has now been sacked too.
Who should take over?

It was an amazing reboot following Loyd. Should it be scrapped?

I actually really like Camillas son - forgotten his name 🤣
Definitely not James Martin, Jamie or a woman who's name I can't remember either 🤣 not Anna the Irish one, but not her either.
Marcus absolutely.

Andi Oliver and Si King

That's a good combination. I don't like Grace Dent or Monica G.

SwedishEdith · 15/07/2025 20:20

I hate the Great British Menu so would be happy for Andi to move from that.

Laska2Meryls · 15/07/2025 20:20

Jimi Famuwera , Tom Kerridge, Nisha Katona, Grace Dent, Monica Galetti . Thomasina Miers
How about some other past winner and runner ups .? .
We definitely should have guest appearances of Eddie Scott and Pookie . Perhaps also Penny Lancaster as one in the eye for Greggggggg.

SwedishEdith · 15/07/2025 20:21

Oh, Nisha is a good shout!

Coffeeishot · 15/07/2025 20:21

CrushingOnRubies · 15/07/2025 20:15

She does but she deserves a bit of a promotion. Ed Gamble or someone can do Great British Menu

I do like her maybe women would be better change of direction.

ExtraOnions · 15/07/2025 20:22

You have to have at least 1 chef on the judging panel.

Si King is a good call … Paul Ainsworth might be nice, Simon Rogan, Lorna McKnee… Dream Host Spencer Metzger

Mimosa3andmore · 15/07/2025 18:04

Si King. He's pleasant, amenable and wouldn't (hopefully) offend anyone.

Yes, he's lovely!

Moonmelodies · 15/07/2025 20:25

Is Amol Rajan too busy?

Also not a fan of Great British Menu. It’s the questions they ask each other “do you think that’s seasoned well enough?”

Please no. Can't stand that smug git.

That feels better.

It's just really boring 😃

CrushingOnRubies · 15/07/2025 20:28

It’s going to be the Beckham kid Brooklyn?? Who made a book on sandwiches isn’t it?

JackJarvisEsq · 15/07/2025 20:28

Shocked nobody’s mentioned Lloyd Grossman

CurlewKate · 15/07/2025 20:28

Anna Haugh and Jimi Famurwera would be great together.

Mailys · 15/07/2025 20:29

Chris Bavin and Nigella Lawson

Tonkerbea · 15/07/2025 20:30

Jimi and Jessie Ware, the singer with the podcast. MC was long overdue a refresh before this controversy

Weepixie · 15/07/2025 20:31

Tom Parker Bowles.

Grace Dent.

but not together.

FurForksSake · 15/07/2025 20:32

Ed Gamble and James Acaster with a special guest chef each week.

deathlydull · 15/07/2025 20:36

Angela Hartnett and Rob Brydon.

Laska2Meryls · 15/07/2025 20:37

Sally Abé would be great also. - I really liked her on Great British Menu definitely personable and held her own with humour, grace and precision in a though competition with some definite ' alpha male ' type chefs .. And won a course in the banquet! She was well known for starting a restaurant with all female chefs .. ( has moved onto a new place now.)

Ohthatsabitshit · 15/07/2025 20:38

I’d like it to go old school, back to cooking a three course meal and competing like in the good old days. It was a much better competition to my mind. Monica would be a good judge but you need a critic really to be the central presenter.

FurForksSake · 15/07/2025 20:41

I remember when they announced they were bringing back master chef, I was excited for three course menus, blue corners and bringing in one piece of kitchen equipment. It was one of my favourite tv shows as a child and the “new” format is nothing like the original to the point I always wondered why they recycled the name.

Laska2Meryls · 15/07/2025 20:41

Angela Hartnett is a definite good shout !

TessTickle0 · 15/07/2025 20:42

Not keen on monica.I quite like Grace, and I do really lie the idea of Si, so maybe the two of them?
I reckon it will be Tom kerridge.

TessTickle0 · 15/07/2025 20:44

I can't quite believe they have sacked JT.
