“NOBODY WAS MENTIONING MY NAME AT ALL. WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE TEAM, I JUST TOOK OFF RUNNING.” Darian recently moved the Next Level Chef fandom by publicly recalling the time he was underestimated at the beginning of the season.

MasterChef: ‘Global Gauntlet’ is facing a massive wave of backlash as many viewers accuse the show of playing unfair against Team Europe—the squad widely considered to have the strongest and most technically skilled chefs of the season. Following a relentless streak of high-pressure challenges, the fanbase is starting to believe that Team Europe is being openly targeted.
