The champion was announced at MasterChef 2025, where special plates were prepared last night.
Sezer Dirican won the competition, which left its mark on the night, and Özkan Akan came in second.
Chief Dirican, who talked about the process on Sözcü TV after the final, also made a striking confession.
Describing the final competition as “one cup, two champions”, Dirican said, “It was a six-six and a half month adventure. One person rose every day, and we made it to the final, elimination by elimination. Yesterday, it turned out very well.”
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CHEF?
Describing his relationship with the MasterChef juries, Dirican said that each chef has a different meaning for him, but Mehmet Yalçınkaya has a special place.
Dirican said, “Mehmet Chef is a father figure to me, Somer Chef is like the big brother of the house, he is fun, and Danilo Chef is like the little brother of the house. I love them all.”
‘I DID NOT STUDY GASTRONOMY’
Stating that he decided to become a chef at a young age but studied “Textile Engineering”, the chef said, “My family did not want cooking because they knew it was a difficult profession. I studied the department they wanted and became the top student of the department. But when I was old enough to make my own decisions, I said ‘I want to be a chef’. I gave the championship cup to my mother and family.”
Chef Dirican said that he applied to the competition last year but was eliminated in the second round, and that he achieved his goal by applying again this year.
