JR Royol has been named MasterChef Pinoy Edition Grand Winner, during the live finale held at SM North EDSA Skydome earlier today, February 9, 2013, and was aired on ABS-CBN.

During the live cook off in front of host-judge Judy Ann Santos, the chef judges, and the guest judges Kris Aquino and Richard Gomez, the 29-year-old Bicolano-Igorot band vocalist from Benguet prepared a dish which he called "Bigorot" (coined from Bicol and Igorot).

"Nakaka-inlove ka magluto," said Kris, who gave JR an almost perfect
score (99). Richard on one hand gave him a 97 score. With chef judges' scores included, he got an average score of 96.1.

As the very first MasterChef Pinoy Edition Grand Winner, JR Royol won a culinary scholarship from the Center for Asian Culinary Studies (CACS), a kitchen showcase and a 1 million cash prize.

In 2nd Place was 40-year-old businesswoman Carla Marcaida from Bulacan, winning also a culinary scholarship, kitchen schowcase and P500,000 cash, while in 3rd place was Ivory Yat, a 26-year-old nurse from Quezon City. Ivory took home P300k cash, culinary scholarship and kitchen showcase.
