MasterChef: Global Gauntlet winner Jake Kelley joins The TV Cave to talk about his journey from simply hoping to earn an apron to ultimately winning the competition.

Jake opens up about when he finally realized he had a real shot at winning, the studying and preparation viewers didn’t see behind the scenes, and the lessons he learned from Gordon Ramsay and Tiffany Derry. He also takes us inside his unforgettable finale dessert, including why he turned chanterelle mushrooms into ice cream and paired them with sweet corn and blueberries.

Plus, Jake shares what life looks like after MasterChef, his move to Metro Detroit, his work in a professional kitchen and his plans to bring his food directly to people through pop-ups.
