Texas rancher competes on ‘MasterChef’

A Lipan, Texas rancher recently secured a white apron and a chance to compete on the FOX TV “MasterChef” show after whipping up a batch of his Texas-inspired cupcakes.

Contestant Mike Newton told “MasterChef” Judge Christina Tosi: “I wanted to kind of represent Texas. We start our day off with a strong cup of coffee and we end it with a little bit of bourbon.”

Tosi and the notorious Judge Gordon Ramsay approved, earning Newton the final competitor position on “MasterChef.”
