# Mestre do Sabor season 2

The second season of Mestre do Sabor premiered on Thursday, April 30, 2020, at 10:30 p.m. / 9:30 p.m. (BRT / AMT) on TV Globo.
Actress Monique Alfradique joined the show as a new co-host, replacing Maria Joana. In addition, the team sizes were reduced from eight to six.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, master José Avillez decided to left the show midway through filming of the season in order to travel to Lisbon, where he resides, to be quarantined with his family. As a result, he was replaced by Rafael Costa e Silva for the remaining of the season.
On March 12, 2020, TV Globo suspended all live audiences for their shows due to the pandemic in Brazil, shifting the season into a less-crowded production for its final weeks of shooting. Taping was completed on March 20, 2020.
On July 23, 2020, Dário Costa from Team Kátia won the competition over Ana Zambelli (Team Leo), Junior Marinho (Team Kátia) and Serginho Jucá (Team Leo), and took home the grand prize of R$250.000.
Dário previously competed on the first season of MasterChef Profissionais in 2016, but was eliminated in the semifinals, finishing in third place.
