Simon Toohey
State: Victoria
After coming in third place in last year’s season, Victorian veggie King Simon Toohey has just a few hurdles to jump to claim the elusive title this season.
After showcasing his love of seasonal vegetables throughout his time on MasterChef Australia, Simon showed where there’s smoke there’s seriously fire, opening a pop-up vegan smokehouse after the grand finale last year.
His restaurant opened in Melbourne’s Williamstown to rave reviews, featuring familiar ingredients cooked in creative ways. He’s now launched the Sustainable Earth Network, focusing on driving the idea of utilising whole ingredients and fighting food waste.
Set your sights on Simon's delicious Japanese Set Custard dish that earned him a chance to win the coveted Immunity Pin in Round Two of Season 11, Episode 12.
