Son of Marion County Fire Rescue Lieutenant Shines on MasterChef Junior
Michael Seegobin, a talented young chef from New Smyrna, is making waves on Fox’s hit culinary competition, MasterChef Junior. He’s the son of Marion County Fire Rescue Lieutenant Deen Seegobin, and his journey on the show has placed him in the top 7.
In the first four episodes of the season, Michael impressed both judges and audiences alike. His leadership skills were highlighted in the most recent episode when he was chosen as the team captain during a challenging task at the Magic Castle.
Despite the pressure, Michael’s team emerged victorious.
Michael’s passion for cooking began by watching his father in the kitchen. He was fascinated and began watching YouTube videos to craft his skill.
As the competition heats up, viewers are encouraged to tune in and cheer on Michael Seegobin during the upcoming episodes of MasterChef Junior. The next episode is set to air on Monday, April 15, at 8 p.m. on Fox.
