Joe Bastianich has left the Masterchef series to focus more on other aspects of his career, telling E! News: After several gratifying years as a judge on MasterChef and MasterChef Junior, I have decided not to return for a sixth season. As co-owner and partner of the Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group, as well as Eataly throughout the Americas, I will be focusing my time and energies on their continued global expansion. It has been a pleasure working with FOX, and alongside Gordon and Graham on five seasons of MasterChef and three seasons of MasterChef Junior.
