Luis Ventura Chokes on MasterChef Celebrity

In this episode of MasterChef Celebrity, contestants faced the challenge of cooking a pionono to perfection. The jury ultimately crowned Momi Giardina as the saved contestant of the night. However, the moment that stole the spotlight was when Luis Ventura presented his dish to the chefs: a savory pionono with tuna, tomatoes, and roasted peppers, decorated with green olives. Upon tasting it, Martitegui swallowed an olive without removing the pit, causing him to choke and have to leave the set coughing. After that, the judges began to give their feedback. Ventura was pleased with his presentation: "I think I have evolved in the presentation." However, the criticism was not in his favor. Martitegui added: "For me, there is an issue with the thickness. It needed a bit more cooking, but it rose well and is fluffy. The sponge cake is too thick and very invasive. It's strange that it doesn't have a hard-boiled egg, it would have been very good." The journalist justified himself by referring to an old request from the jury: "Because I adapted to the style, they gave me an editorial line that I shouldn't have an egg in it." "No, your eggs are already freed," Wanda threw in, adding a touch of humor to the situation.
