Andy Allen: Grief, Growth, and the Side of Fame We Rarely See
Do you ever daydream about leaving your job and turning your passion into your career? Andy Allen went from a fourth-year apprentice electrician with no clear path to becoming one of Australia’s most beloved MasterChef winners and judges. But behind the effortless charm and foodie fame lies a story marked by unexpected pivots, personal reckoning, and the kind of loss that reshapes everything. In this open-hearted conversation, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Andy to explore how a dare turned into a calling, how he rebuilt his identity after grief, and why he believes happiness, not fame, is the true marker of a great life. You’ll learn: *Why grief after the death of best friend Jock Zonfrillo changed how he lives and loves. *What MasterChef taught him about pressure, purpose, and presence. *The small daily habit that keeps his mental health in check. *Why being a great husband, and future father now drives everything he does. This conversation provides an excellent reminder that it's not about what you do, but who you become in the process. MasterChef Australia: Back to Win continues Sunday at 7pm, and Monday to Wednesday at 7:30pm on 10 and 10 Play. Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.
