As asian kid growing up with asian parents, watching his father and grandfather watching their Eric cook with such a big smile on their face is amazing. That guy is really talented and you can see it when he cooks he's very passionate and talented. No disrespect to his oponent. Asian parents can be very judgemental but those parents were smart enough to recognize true talent and passion
too bad hes got the sad face filter on permanetly. its a huge turn off if i a saw a chef with that face. i'd be thinking, he doesnt enjoy what he does. he should learn how to smile. its really off putting.
@@CazDesignStudios It's mostly a Season 1 and a little bit in Season 2 kind of thing, S1 the producers were trying to emulate the atmosphere of Masterchef US but decided to scrap that for future seasons
I find Eric to be very impressive he was only 21 years old and can cook very well he's also very receptive and a fast learner and the fact that he had the courage to go after his dream and leaving engineering to do so it's very brave of him He's my favourite contestant
I love the pride and love that I saw in the eyes of Eric's family...especially his grandfather....as they watched Eric begin his final cooking journey before winning MasterChef Canada's first season. He wanted SO BADLY to make his grandfather proud...I believe he brought honor to his family and his grandfather in this moment with his cooking.
Funny How everyone see Alvin is biased towards Eric but Not Claudio towards Marida🤣 I mean he literally Told Tamara in a episode to Not cook Asian everytime but Liked Marida's dishes where most of them are same cuisine and spices
No way. She lost because Eric had the sob story that would sell better. The whole, "I want to change my parents perspective of my career choice and pursue my dream and not slave away in a family traditional choice" sells far better than, "I was a good stay at home mom cook and now I'm gonna be big"
@@BN-hp8um That’s not a sob story that’s HIS story.. She lost because her dish was not preferred compared to Eric. Eric does NOT seem like the type to give a sob story for anything and why can’t we just credit him for being a good cook?
MICHAEL & ALVIN: NO FLAWS ON BOTH COOKS CLAUDIO: ALWAYS SEES A FLAW WITH ONLY ERIC’S DISHES. ALWAYS LOOKS INTO WHAT HE CAN SAY TO PUT DOWN ERIC’S DISHES.
Lies.... Claudio praised Eric way too much. The award was stolen from Marida. She earned it more than he did and she deserved it more than he did. He wears his arrogance on his sleeve and maybe Claudio seen that too.
@@jakester01 she took like zero risks the entire show and was solid all the way through whilst eric took risks and improved massively which makes him more deserving tbh idk what masterchef u were watching
"It’s odd to me that eric won. They both got criticized 2 times." My thought on this is because Eric cooked rigorously while Marida cooked relatively safely. They def kept on mentioning how it's really hard to cook crisp pork belly under an hour (and it really is!). An analogy would be like taking a geography test where you need to list States in the U.S. Tester 1: listed only the states. Tester 2: listed both the states and their capitals. Both testers got 2 questions wrong, but obviously, Tester 2 showed more proficiency in U.S. geography. If you had to choose a tour guide from seeing just the test results of this geography test. Tester 2 would seem like a better choice, with seemingly more proficiency in the field. (This is just an analogy. Plz don't read too much into it).
Eric and Marida seem to have a really nice (or at least decent) relationship, they respect each other and were pretty much equal in terms of skills and talent within their respective cuisines. It's disgusting how some of the comments resort to bs 'observations' (even racism) towards them both in favour of one or the other😕
One trick pony Marida came through the finals cooking mostly Indian dishes, and she is Trinidadian, Chef Alvin was right to notice and expose her early in the competition
@@rdu239 She is not Indian and neither did she cook Indian dishes. Alvin was a hypocrite since Eric does Chinese with some generic Italian at that stage as well.
I am neutral but i kinda feel like Marida is getting more supports on her side though Eric got less support. I think he should win, his patient, talent every thing pulled of. I also once tried to cook pork belly and it took more than 1 hour and was absolutely gross. Eric pulled it of great
Same. I felt like a lot of people cheered for Marida. I understand why Kaila didn't cheer for Eric. Maybe it's because I feel like Marida was more social and Eric is a bit more reserved imo. Maybe behind the scenes she talked more to others than he did.
I don’t like dale, but I’d have to back Marida. I can’t back Eric. Guy’s so arrogant. He always rolls his eyes when someone gets called up and he doesn’t. Eric reminds me of Natasha from MasterChef US season 4. She was just like Eric (except she didn’t win haha). God, I hate Eric so much. I just don’t like arrogant people, I guess.
So you supply your chef with a substandard quality Pork Belly, and then blame him?...you should be a) blaming your purchasing manager, and then b) your supplier!
There's a Malayalam movie Ustad Hotel where grandfather owns a restaurant but the father hates it. The father forces the son to do MBA but the son goes on to be a chef with his grandfather. Almost like Eric's story
Their after cook clothes really exchange in personality. Marida should be the calm one but have dirtier attire while Eric the chaotic one have neater attire. Lol 😆

Chef Claudio has a bit of a reputation across the seasons for being more fond of certain contestants than others, and those contestants are often female contestants. Marida was the first case, I don't know if there's any source out there to confirm if it's true but most people seem to agree that he has the hots for Marida
@@absoluteking95 Because Thea's tempo is on Latin American cuisine especially Mexican like she did in both 2017 and 2021: Back To Win seasons' grand finale. Claudio has Latin roots (Uruguayan in his case).
No it's BS, people just say that in these comments because they love to fawn over Eric and act like he's a perfect angel and Kaila/Marida are the she-devils.
You can tell even though Alvin wanted Eric to win, he didn't trash Maridas dishes. Claudio on the other hand.... Not enough to go against Michael + Alvin
It’s odd to me that eric won. They both got criticized 2 times, but only eric got it for improperly cooked protein, which i thought would be unforgivable. His dishes must have been really awesome
Eric somehow always did win in master chef. Like in his auditions how come after he was very disrespectful he got in. And there has been dishes that were good but not better than others and he still won. I believe he was favored.
Claudio was so obviously biased against Eric...not the best quality to have when judging a competition, the soup compared to all the elements Eric put on the plate, no doubt Eric deserved to win
Some comments here say that Claudio favors Marida because he likes her but being fair Alvin favours Eric too. Some people say that Claudio tends to favour "pretty" girls like Thea from season 4 I think. They say she cried her way to the top and Claudio was lenient on her. Tbh there were prettier girls in that season like Justine or Mai but he liked Thea I guess.

Ik Claudio is all about quality over quantity, but if a restaurant served me the portion on Marida's dish, I would be pretty upset...
