ICYMI: Adam Liaw’s Live-Tweets Are Still The Best Thing About Watching ‘MasterChef’
This week another season of MasterChef has come to an end.
We bid farewell to our ol’ mates Georgie, Gaz and Presto, and the gang of contestants, many of whom appear to suspiciously still be high school kidlets. Home ec classes at school must be gettin’ hectic AF, with all these ‘golden balls’ flying around.
But more importantly, the series saw the return of previous winner Adam Liaw live-tweeting. Never forget: he is a gift to us all, we should be forever grateful.
These contestants are very good and it makes me glad I won #MasterChefAU back when we were all terrible.

The second series winner spends every damn ep of MasterChef spitting out absolute gold. Let’s be real, his Twitter is hilarious 24/7, but for foodies MasterChef time is an extra special time of year.
Take a seat, cos Adam is serving five courses of funny AF, on a plate.
Here are some of his best zingers:
I would pay a million dollars for Sashi's kids to yell encouraging things at me. #MasterChefAU

They always say every season is the best season ever but frankly unless I see a white chocolate veloute I just refuse to believe it. #MasterChefAU pic.twitter.com/TPpALivB8Y

Now every time I turn down dessert at a restaurant I'll feel like I'm letting down a pastry chef who's spent 17 hours sticking some weird fluid gel into a mousse dome. #MasterChefAU

You have to respect the creativity, but you also have to acknowledge that a person who would spend 15 years making a dessert like that is deeply weird. #MasterChefAU

Here's how time flies. When I won #MasterChefAU:
There was no such thing as an iPad.
One Direction had not yet formed.
Netflix was still posting DVDs to people in the US…And I'm older than Sashi.

Why does Gordon Ramsay's haircut look like it just swiped right on your Tinder profile? #MasterChefAU

There should be a spin-off #MasterChefAU series that is literally just all nonnas making food for their portly grandchildren, and the winner is the nonna whose grandchild gains the most body weight over 12 weeks.

Back in my day the #MasterChefAU finale had truly difficult challenges like "identify a cumquat by sight" and "chop up a carrot a bit".

When I was 19 my signature dish was literally mixing 2 kinds of two-minute noodles together. I stand by it. #MasterChefAU

I can't believe it's already been 65 million years since dinosaurs roamed the Earth and I won #MasterChefAU.

I made it a rule to take a drink every time someone says "crémeux" and now I need someone to call me an ambulance. #MasterChefAU

Soon someone's just going to tip the entire contents of a Mystery Box directly into an ice cream machine and call it a day. #MasterChefAU

Regardless of who wins, all 3 contestants will know the true joy of strangers asking "HEY MATE ARE YOU OFF #MasterChefAU?" everyday forever.
