What Happened To Suu From Masterchef? – Celebrity
Dylan Hughes Suu Khin (born Suu M. Khin) is a Burmese food blogger in Houston, Texas, and a contestant on the 11th season of FOX’s “MasterChef: Legends.” She is also a Recipe Developer, Food Stylist, and Photographer. She started cooking when she was 6 years old.
During the premiere episode of Masterchef: Legends, Suu presented her favorite dish from her childhood — Burmese Coconut Noodle with Shrimp — to judges Gordon Ramsey, Joe Bastianich, Aaron Sanchez, and Emeril Lagasse.
MasterChef Legends went hard on its Season 11 finalists Suu Khin, Autumn Moretti, and Kelsey Murphy. After a grueling session of intense cooking, the judges announced Kelsey as the winner. She took home $250,000, a top-notch Viking kitchen and kitchen tools and bakeware products from OXO. MasterChef Legends Season 11 came to an epic close.
However, in the latest episodes of MasterChef, viewers noticed that Autumn was walking around the kitchen with a cast on her foot. Viewers noticed that sometime between episodes 10 and 11, Autumn seemed to have broken her foot as she appeared on the show with a cast.
Why did Suu cook?
Suu shared her beautiful story of how she took to cooking. As a child, she helped her mother and grandmother in the kitchen. Back then she considered being in the kitchen as a chore. But things changed after she moved to America for her higher education. She once again stepped into the kitchen, but this time around to cook Burmese food so that she could fight away the home-sickness and enjoy the comfort of familiar food.
When asked about her dish, Suu shared her story of being from a third-world country, where people eat for sustenance and many are grateful to just have a bowl of rice. After tasting it, Aaron couldn’t stop singing praises for her finesse and technique. Emeril bestowed her with the highest compliment by calling it “food of love”. Joe described the dish as, “a profound immersion into Burmese cuisine.” Gordon labeled it as the best dish of the night. They all unanimously gave her their yes and handed out the white apron. As soon as Suu left the kitchen, the judges began fighting among themselves over who would get to finish the rest of the dish.
The premiere episode features several contestants walking through the doors of ‘MasterChef’ kitchen starry-eyed and with big dreams. With only 15 white aprons at their hand, the judges had no choice but to be extremely picky when it came to selecting the recipients of the coveted apron. The judges asked the contestants to whip up their signature dish and that needs to impress at least three judges to get the white apron. Five home cooks- Alejandro, Matt, Autumn, Elyce, and Suu, managed to win the white aprons. However, it was Suu that had the judges and fans swooning over her beautiful back story and soup.
