This show is amazing because it inspires kids to cook. You should watch and buy the shows because you can learn how to cook new things and bake new things. This show also can teach you how to make drinks besides alcohol and stuff like that. The show has allot of funny things in it like when Kaitlin throws fish at the other contestants. It can get sad when people get kicked out in a nice way. Kids ages 8-13 can audition for the show. If you win you will win 100,000 $ and the master chef junior trophy. By Splashy money 101
