In our MasterChef US Season 10 where are they now update, we’ll share updates for all of the contestants from Season 10 of MasterChef, including the winner, Dorian Hunter, and other crowd favorites like Bri Baker, Nick DiGiovanni, Micah Yaroch, and Fred Chang.
In total, there are 20 MasterChef Season 10 contestants to cover, so let’s get right into the list starting with the Season 10 winner, Dorian Hunter.
Dorian Hunter – MasterChef Season 10 Winner
Dorian was the winner of Masterchef season 10. She was originally a creeler from Georgia, which made her an underdog compared to some other contestants.
Her winning menu was scallops, lemon blueberry tart, and short rib and the MasterChef judges were amazed by how well-cooked everything was.

Bri baker
Before participating in Masterchef, Bri was working as a cocktail server in Dallas.
On the show, she stood out for her elaborate and beautiful plating technique, which was something the judges always focused on and something she put a lot of work into.
Unfortunately, she got eliminated in the 20th episode because of serving raw salmon to the judges.
Since leaving the show, Baker has gone into food styling and photography with her own business called The Plating Queen.
The Instagram page of her business The Plating Queen is filled with pictures of mouthwatering food, so the Bri Baker Instagram is definitely worth a follow as well.
Bri also has a Facebook page for The Plating Queen to round out her social media presence.
