articleCalling all kids: the "MasterChef Junior" kitchen is reopening, and casting is underway for the series’ ninth seasonThe cooking competition series, judged by chef Gordon Ramsay, chef Aaron Sanchez and nutrition expert Daphne Oz, is looking for the most talented home cooks in the United States between the ages 8 and 13. On the show, kids will cook up meals, vying for the title of "MasterChef Junior" and a $100,000 cash prize. "The big question is: Do you have what it takes to be in my kitchen to cook with me? Then, I’d like to meet you," Ramsay said in an announcement on Twitter. Last season, contestants cooked up meals for diners at a historical renaissance fair, welcomed Ramsay’s daughter, Tilly Ramsay, back to the kitchen, and participated in a WWE-themed episode.
