Natasha Crnjac,
a stay-at-home mom from San Diego, CA, and Luca Manfe, a restaurant manager
from Astoria, NY were named the two finalists last night in the Fox Masterchef competition. Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich
and Graham Elliot made the announcement while also eliminating Krissi
Biasiello, a paralegal from Philadelphia, PA, and Jessie Lysiak, a yacht
stewardess from Social Circle, GA.
The top two finalists will compete for the title next week. According to Fox, In their final challenge, Crnjac and Manfe will conceptualize and prepare "the most important three-course meal of their lives." The winner will receive a grand prize of $250,000 and a cookbook deal.
