Way back on April 25, MasterChef began and this young bloke caught my eye. He was #41 out of the top 50 to be picked. Callum is 20 years old and hails from a place called Nuriootpa (okay, say it with me... Noori (as in nyoori) - oot (like soot)- pa) in the Barossa Valley, South Australia.I thought here's a young kid who has a lisp, a nervous blink (oh, and don't the ladies just love that!) and a bit of acne, but he's really cute. We've cheered him on each week, sometimes, nay, many times marvelling at his creations, other times cringing as he put up a car-wreck of a dish. But he is so endearing and has been a joy to watch. On reading about him in The Advertiser it was lovely to see that he completed Yr 12 in fine form with a TER of 95 and is a keen sportsman who was on the Basketball, Soccer, Table Tennis, hockey, badminton & tennis teams in his final year. My aim is to order his macaroons in his restaurant someday!!!

Tonight he has made it through to the Grand Finale and will face off against Adam Liaw, a 31 year old lawyer who also hails from Adelaide, although he is currently residing in Tokyo, Japan. How exciting that it is two South Aussies in the GF?! I seriously don't mind who wins now as both have been on my favourites list from the get go (but Go Callum!) and it's a wonderful achievement just to get down to the final two.
