Graham Elliot is one of the returning judges on the U.S. show Masterchef. Normally, the show kicks off with 100 competing cooks, but this season, they’ve chosen just 30. When talking about the new changes to the show, Elliot told the Huffington Post:
I think that it’s fun to get right into what people are tuning in for, which is the cooking. We’ve had four seasons of success. I think we’ve realized that we can get right into it and still understand where the home cooks are from and bond with them. It’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s a way to keep it fresh.
Have a look at a clip from the show in the below tweet:

Elliot and his wife Allie have two sons, Conrad and Jedediah, plus another son, Mylo, that Elliot has from a previous marriage. In addition, Elliot reportedly has a new baby. Each one of these people was a reason that Elliot decided to get healthy, revealing to Huffington Post:
Having three boys, a new baby and health issues from blood pressure to sleep apnea, I realized I just wasn’t able to do this on my own, so I decided to have the weight loss surgery.
