41 | MasterChef Contestant Talks Gordon Ramsay, Home Insecurity, & Hidden Passions | D'Andre Balaoing

    D'Andre Balaoing is a Pastry Chef, who has appeared on multiple seasons of Gordon Ramsay's MasterChef, and currently resides at Valley Cheese & Wine. In D'Andre's own words he "is the sweetest kid Gordon Ramsey has ever yelled at." After exiting season 7 of MasterChef, in 13th place, D'Andre has found himself in a handful of creative spaces and culinary hot spots. There is more "behind the scenes" action taking place, but the front of the house spaces include Scapetta, Virgin Voyages, and Valley Cheese & Wine. Some things in the works include a book titled "Food Baby", a creative culinary spot of his own, and some more content!
     D'Andre Balaoing has lived all over the world including Japan, Guam, Korea, and Germany. Upon leaving home at the age of 16, D'Andre found himself a new home in Vegas. Thereafter he attended UNLV and the rest was history!
