Season 4[]
Ben Milbourne is from Tasmania and has always had food at the center of his life and finally decided it was time to take a leap of faith and apply for MasterChef Australia.
"Reason I applied for MasterChef was the kids at school, really. They got the application in class and got me to fill the form out in one maths lesson. What I'm about is gaining knowledge, my dream would be to open up a little café which is attached to a little cooking school."[1]
Season 12[]
A Tassie boy born and bred, it was Ben’s love of food and cooking which led to his first foray into MasterChef Australia, competing in the fourth season where he came in fifth place. Following MasterChef, he embarked on a successful media career with his TV show Ben’s Menu which aired on Network 10 for three seasons and went on to feature in the SBS Food Network's Andy and Ben Eat Australia with friend and now judge, Andy Allen.
Ben also owns and operates a modern Australian restaurant in Devonport, Charlotte, Jack, named after his two children.[2]
