THE YOUNG COOKS GET A TASTE OF THE WHITE HOUSE ON AN ALL-NEW "MASTERCHEF" THURSDAY, MARCH 16, ON FOX

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is Featured as a Special Guest and Julie Bowen ("Modern Family") Guest-Judges

The Top 14 junior home cooks receive a mystery box challenge inspired by the White House garden from former First Lady Michelle Obama. The young cooks must come up with an original recipe that is both healthy and presidential worthy, and the winner will receive a special once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! For the next challenge, Julie Bowen ("Modern Family") steps into the MASTERCHEF kitchen to watch the kids make a dish in honor of their moms. Then, it's up to the judges to decide which contestant will go home in the all-new "Junior Edition: A Presidential Mystery Box" episode of MASTERCHEF airing Thursday, March 16 (8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
