Jorge was proclaimed this Wednesday the winner of the fifth edition of ‘MasterChef’. The culinary talent of La 1 was dismissed with a record of the season, bringing the TV audience to 3.388.000 spectators and a share of 25.9% (official Kantar Media data including the guests).

“Perhaps in my life I have fulfilled three great dreams. One was to play at Atletico Madrid, another to be the first Spaniard to score in the history of the American of Cali, but to both dreams it has surpassed to him by thrashing to gain MasterChef. This has been the game of my life” Because after three months of hard work and effort, Jorge has earned his reward, becoming the winner of the fifth edition of the world’s toughest culinary talent.

This 28 year old, born in Granada, made his debut at 15 at Atletico Madrid and for a decade played as a professional striker in different First and Second Division clubs. It even came to compete on three continents. His last signing was in 2014 by the America of Cali (Colombia).

His father always wished that when he hung up his boots, he would go to the family business of Finance and Insurance, but the kitchen, his other great passion, got in his way, becoming his main goal to enter MasterChef. He tried to participate in the fourth edition, but his request came out of time and since then he dedicated himself to the gastronomy in body and soul to obtain the apron of MasterChef, where he has been demonstrating his enormous talent.

He has been praised for his eagerness to learn and his effort. She has even overcome one of her shortcomings which, as she has acknowledged, is “to be little constant”, but in MasterChef she has demonstrated “that when something interests her she strives and learns”, as Eva González pointed out. Among its outstanding dishes, the Arabian pigeon that served in the semifinal, the cake sacher of the private party of Jorge Vázquez and the tail of pig in the auction of casquería. In the tests where he has grown the most has been outdoors, where he has been able to work as a team, organize tasks and demonstrate his command.
