The kids are back! 'MasterChef Junior' returns Tuesday, Feb. 26, on FOX

Hit culinary competition series “MasterChef Junior” returns Tuesday, Feb. 26 (8 p.m. ET/PT), on FOX.

Entering its seventh season, the series gives talented kids between the ages of 8 and 13 the chance to showcase their culinary abilities and passion for food through a series of delicious challenges. Award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay and renowned pastry chef Christina Tosi will be joined by celebrated chef and restaurateur Aarón Sánchez on the judges’ panel. Season seven will showcase a “Mystery Box Challenge” focusing on the most important meal of the day – breakfast.

Additionally, the young chef-testants will attend and prepare a meal for 51 circus performers, create a restaurant-quality fish dish, compete to see which team can first roll out a perfect sheet of pasta to 24 feet, and power through the fan-favorite restaurant takeover challenge, until one talented kid is named America’s newest “MasterChef Junior” champion, taking home the trophy and $100,000 grand prize.
