The second season of the Canadian competitive reality television series MasterChef Canada premiered on CTV on February 1, 2015 and concluded on May 24.
Following his victory, Jorge teamed up with Top Chef Canada season 3 winner Matthew Stowe to open up S+L Kitchen & Bar (a steak-and-lobster seafood themed restaurant) operated by the Joseph Richard Group, with three locations open across British Columbia as of spring 2018.
[citation needed] In the fall of 2015, Jorge signed on a contract with JRG in a partnership that involves working with Ryan Moreno, CEO of the pub/restaurant chain.
Additionally, this is the first season to give select competitors the opportunity to win their way back into the competition after originally being eliminated, with Cody Karey being the first to successfully do so.
Season 2 eliminated contestant Christopher Siu, who originally came in 5th place, eventually returned to compete in MasterChef Canada: Back to Win and was crowned the winner.
In episode 5, Cody forfeited his immunity from his Mystery Box win to cook in the elimination challenge.
Each team had to create a dish from different proteins selected by David (pork for Red, beef for Blue and chicken for Green).
Mystery Box 3: The home cooks were tasked with baking a four-layered birthday cake, and the judges announced that there would be two winners.
They had a mystery box consisting of smooth and crunchy peanut butter, chocolate, apples, Romanesco cauliflower, miso, Jasmine rice, Sriracha, and a protein chosen by their loved ones.
David chose venison for himself, and gave pickerel to Cody, rabbits to Sabrina and squab to Line.
Despite his excellence in beautiful plating skills and flawlessly nailing the cook on his fish to perfection, Cody's dish was unseasoned, and he was sent home once again.
