Masterchef series 2 finalist Claire Winton Burn, who captured our attention last year when her entanglement in an office tryst with a married Clayton Utz colleague was revealed by the Daily Telegraph, told SMH at the time of her eviction from the show that a return to her former career as a Clayton Utz lawyer was unlikely:
It’s something I’ll have to think about…I haven’t worked out whether living the dream is viable yet, but I’m really focused on trying to make the most of the opportunity I’ve been given. It’s all about the cooking and the writing at the moment.
Indeed, Claire worked hard at exploiting the opportunities that arose because of her involvement in Masterchef; she made a foray into food writing, with several of her articles published by Fairfax media. But regrettably, as reported by our friends at Reality Ravings, it now seems that Claire’s Masterchef “dream is over”.
Ms Winton Burn made the following comments to TV Week a few days ago:
I have gone back to the law, but I don’t want to make a song and dance about it … I’m still doing freelance food writing, so I haven’t thrown in the towel, but I have to make a living.
It is unclear whether she has gone back to Clutz, but if so, she follows the footsteps of fellow Masterchef contestant (and Lander & Rogers lawyer) Peter Kritikides in going back to her former employer. If the winner of Masterchef series 2 (Adam Liaw – also a lawyer) went back to his former employer, Claire, Peter and Adam could have a “back to the law” party, which might include Masterchef favourites like:
- hookers;
- blow;
- arson;
- blood;
- homosexual Fujizakura microbrews;
- fake tan; and
- celebratory back waxes.
Forget Masterchef, let’s all get master plastered!!
