“MasterChef Australia” 2023: Brent Draper
Brent Draper already knows the pressures of the “MasterChef Australia” kitchen. After his stint on season 13, the Queensland chef is back for another go.
Since his time on television, he renovated a bus to live out #VanLife with his wife and their son. And after returning from their trip across Australia, Draper started working as a digital content creator and National Coles Ambassador. Throughout the past two years, he has contributed to recipe development and shot content for the supermarket chain.
If you’re an avid “MasterChef Australia” watcher, you’ll know that he took a time out from his previous season to focus on his mental health. And he plans to continue to advocate for his message throughout the show.
We can expect him to bring back his signature cooking style that has a strong focus on South-East Asian and Middle Eastern flavours. Of course, in true Brent-spirit, he will be whipping out the hibachi to grill meats and seafood over coal. Following the competition, Draper hopes to live a simple life on a farm in South Australia, where he plans to cook for travellers.
Can he make it to the finale? Tune into “MasterChef Australia” 2023 on 10 and 10Play to watch Brent Draper’s battle to victory.
