MasterChef 2025: Leonidas Koutsopoulos Leaves Contestants ‘Frozen’ with His Witty Comment

Laughter was once again provided on MasterChef. And it only took one… zucchini. During the episode aired on Tuesday (11.03.2025), contestant Giorgos was challenged by the judges to wear a blindfold and choose ingredients for his team as well as the opposing brigade without seeing them. When he picked something… unusual, renowned chef Leonidas Koutsopoulos seized the opportunity to make a joke. It was the moment when the MasterChef contestant grabbed an unusually long vegetable. He didn’t recognize it and decided not to keep it for his team, prompting Koutsopoulos to ask if he realized what he had rejected and then… comment on his response. “No, but it was massive,” replied the contestant, to which the famous chef added with a laugh: “Well, being big isn’t always a disadvantage.” Watch the clip after 03:50 in the video. The contestant later admitted, “I don’t like grabbing something long and thick in the dark. It gave me anxiety.”
