Eggermont, the first ever MasterChef Junior contestant from North Dakota, finished in sixth place. He encourages all young home cooks in North Dakota to apply for future seasons. His goal is to operate a food truck and have his own cookbook. As he is only twelve, he’s keeping his schedule light but will be a judge in Galesburg’s pork butt cookoff this summer.
