Did Leeds's Masterchef: The Professionals finalist do enough to take the title?
A Leeds chef who reached the finals of a TV cookery contest said he would look back on the experience fondly.
Matt Healy, 33, from Horsforth, was one of the three finalists in BBC Two’s Masterchef: The Professionals but was pipped at the post by tonight by Glaswegian chef Gary Maclean.
Matt said: “So many experiences, so many people I’ve met. The whole thing has just been once in a lifetime so I’ll look back on it with really fond memories and lots of excitement. I really will.”
Challenges completed by the chef, who now lives in Sowerby Bridge, included taking over the running of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Norway alongside the other finalists and cooking for 28 heavyweights of the industry.
Matt studied at the Thomas Danby Catering College in Leeds and works as a development chef for catering firm Rational.
