The launch of the highly-anticipated debut season of The Taste Master, SABC 3 and Stella Artois are proud to introduce you to the eight contestants who will show off both their culinary and presenting skills in the hopes of becoming the new resident foodie on SABC 3’s popular variety show Afternoon Express.
The series, which debuted last week Tuesday 12 November at 19h30 on SABC 3, follows judges Zola Nene and Gregory Czarnecki with host Harmony Katulondi as they put eight finalists through a series of challenges, with the lowest scoring contestant eliminated each week, until only one is awarded the title of The Taste Master.
