Second service of the season, this time super-sized! The contestants head to Melbourne street food market Graceland to compete in two teams catering for "thousands"

1,600 dishes left the kitchen and in this episode we keep a keen eye on who shone with leadership and vision and who faded into the background. Our dreams will now be of braised Chinese-style pork belly and Thai beef salad but hold the burnt garlic-tainted rice, por favor.

Warning: Spoilers ahead –– this a post-broadcast reaction podcast so we will be discussing details of broadcasted episodes, including guests, challenges, wins and eliminations.

This is the home of GastroGays' MasterChef Australia content, coinciding with the UK/Ireland broadcast this August for the next couple of months. We are watching the series as it broadcasts in the UK & Ireland on "W", weeknights at 7pm.
