- Natasha Clement came out on top on Food Network's All-Star Academy
In their final challenge, contestants Lee Abbott and Natasha Clement had to create the dish of their lives in hopes of winning the $50,000 prize.
Natasha Clement gets some food out of the oven during the season six premiere of Fox’s MasterChef in 2015. The LaPlace native won Food Network’s ‘All-Star Academy’ this week.
Airing Sunday on Food Network, it was LaPlace native Clement’s jacked-up shrimp and grits dish that won her the cash and top title on the eight-week “All-Star Academy.”
Celebrity chef Robert Irvine was Clement’s weekly guide. Clement first shot to national recognition in May during season six of Fox’s MasterChef. She starred as a contestant on the cooking competition show, which featured 40 home cooks.
In that show 10 months ago, she was ultimately not one of the 22 cooks chosen to continue. This week she was the champion.
