Season chronology

The second season of the Canadian competitive reality television series MasterChef Canada premiered on CTV on February 1, 2015 and concluded on May 24. Open casting calls were held over the summer of 2014. Filming began in September 2014 and wrapped up in November 2014. Portuguese-Canadian concrete contractor David Jorge won this season. Jorge, who resides on a hobby farm in the Panorama area of Surrey with his wife and two sons, also guest starred in episodes in Season 3 and Season 5, and competed in the MasterChef Canada: All-Star Family Edition 2016 holiday special, of which he was the runner-up. He is currently the oldest winner of MasterChef Canada.

Following his victory, Jorge teamed up with Top Chef Canada season 3 winner Matthew Stowe to open up S+L Kitchen & Bar (a steak-and-lobster seafood themed restaurant) operated by the Joseph Richard Group, with three locations open across British Columbia as of spring 2018. In the fall of 2015, Jorge signed on a contract with JRG in a partnership that involves working with Ryan Moreno, CEO of the pub/restaurant chain. The first location opened on 200th Street at 84th Avenue in Langley on January 26, 2016. A second location opened on December 23, 2016 at 200–2070 Sumas Way in the Abbotsford Village Shopping Centre. The third location opened up in South Surrey in June 2017.

Quarterfinalist Christopher Siu, who was eliminated in 5th place in the family-reunion quarter-finals, eventually returned to compete again in MasterChef Canada: Back to Win and was crowned the winner. Andrew Al-Khouri, who was originally eliminated in 10th place, also returned to MasterChef Canada: Back to Win, making it all the way to the penultimate semi-finals, finishing 4th.
