      that’s joe. joe is a discount jeff bezos who comes on these cooking shows despite the fact that he’s not a chef, therefore he can’t offer any positive criticisms. notice how he goes to personal insults every time he gets the chance? that’s cause he has nothing else to fall back on. one instance that comes to mind is when he said he would have the blind contestant check coats instead of cook. she went on to WIN MASTERCHEF that season. he’s an insecure prick.

    Alvin Leung sees a lot of himself in Eric Chong. That’s why he kept his eye on him 100% of the time, he knew the potential he had, so he tried to be as encouraging yet psychological as possible to keep him going and to harden him as a literal master chef. I’m so happy that Leung and Chong are now partners in the business.

    Strict and brutally honest, but fair. Probably my favorite of the three judges on masterchef Canada. I think people tend to mistake brutally honest as being rude. Chef Alvin definitely shows the difference. He's tough when he needs to be but his criticism is constructive, and he knows when to crack jokes and keep morale high. Not strike people down and kill their motivation.
    Him and Eric really had a great connection. I think they're on par with David with the most inspiring season/story yet, it's almost unreal. Really great motivational stuff!

    Take notice of how even though there are plenty of dishes where Alvin criticizes the food, he'll always eat it. There are a couple of times where he even expressly likes the taste of it, and even when he doesn't, he's always got actual critique for the chefs, even when he loses it, he and the other judges never go overboard and they're always fair.
    That's because Alvin is an actual chef, someone who understands the position these people are in, and he understands they aren't professionals, and that he's gonna be the guy to help them move forward.
    Unlike a rude, unqualified tryant who isn't even a chef, and just happens to own a few restaurants and has chefs in his family. A guy who will throw plates away just by looking at them, and result to personal insults because he doesn't know the first thing about food.

    I'm not an expert on this show. However, based on the clips, I feel that Alvin was hard on Eric because he's been where Eric is right now, and he knows that being nice to him is not going to make Eric work as hard as he can. He gives Eric praises where he deserves it of course, but Alvin makes sure that Eric doesn't get too comfortable because when you get too comfortable, your work ethic goes down. Alvin knows this and the last thing he wants is for Eric, a younger vision of himself, to become lazy in his work because Alvin gave him the credit.
