Despite some kooky prototypes in the 1960’s, Smell-o-Vision still hasn’t been invented. Nor has Taste-o-Vision which is a sad state of affairs for MasterChef fans.

If you’ve spent many an evening salivating into your couch cushions, there is finally a solution to this problem. MasterChef Dining & Bar is popping up again in Sydney and Melbourne for another season of serving up TV specials to eager fans.

Monty Koludrovic, formerly of Becasse, will bust out a MasterChef-inspired menu with the help of special guests from the MasterChef family of celebrity pan rattlers. Desserts will be matched up with the soothing flavour notes of Lipton’s Pyramid range of teas and there will be an Italian themed bar for those requiring a little more oomph in their tipple.

All funds raised from tips go to OzHarvest and Food Bank, matched dollar for dollar by American Express.
