Graham Elliot left MasterChef after Season 6 to focus on his own ventures and restaurants.
Graham Elliot was one of the original judges on MasterChef, a popular cooking competition show that premiered in the United States in 2010. He served as a judge alongside Gordon Ramsay and Joe Bastianich. After participating in six seasons of MasterChef and four seasons of its spin-off, MasterChef Junior, Elliot decided to leave the franchise.
