Acun Ilıcalı, a guest on the 'Gel Konuşalım' show broadcasted on TV8, spoke about the success of MasterChef. Ilıcalı revealed that chef Mehmet Yalçınkaya, one of the most beloved figures on the jury, was not chosen for the program because the show's team found the famous chef to be 'aggressive'.
Acun Ilıcalı, who made this confession about Chef Mehmet years later, explained how he repeatedly watched Yalçınkaya's audition after his team members' remarks, realized his temperament was such, and included the famous chef in the jury panel.
