Olusola Ogbomo was a contestant on Season 9 of MasterChef and was mentored by Joe Bastianich. She ranked in 21st place with Stephanie.
Personality[]
Olusola was a passionate cook during her time in MasterChef. She had great potential early on after she managed to receive an apron from all 3 judges, being the first chef of the season to have that happen to her. But similar to Darrick, she failed to replicate dishes and techniques properly, as she accidentally served a crab with the shell still in the meat. She also had the tendency to be flustered, causing simple mistakes which led to her elimination when she served the judges an incomplete Crab Benedict.

Trivia[]

- She is the lowest ranking contestant in the shows history to have their audition shown in full, ranking 21st place. (Or 22nd depending on your preference of ties.)
- If second chance auditions count, Astrid (Season 5) would be lower than/tied with Olusola for the lowest ranked contestant to have their audition dish shown in full.
Quotes[]
- (After being eliminated) "I'm proud of myself. Not too many people can say they made it here to the MasterChef Kitchen and wore a white apron from Joe Bastianich. I'm gonna go back and drive that bus with my head held high, thinking about different recipes, and master my craft even more. A poached egg gonna stop me? Yeah right."
