MasterChef Australia Semi-Finalist Tim Bone quickly became one of his season’s most popular contestants with his flair for food and down-to-earth personality, making it into the top four in Season 11, 2019. Inspired by Jamie Oliver, Stephanie Alexander, Maggie Beer and the late Anthony Bourdain, Tim enjoys cooking with big, hearty flavours and creating good, honest food, packed full of flavour.

Since his time on MasterChef, Tim has entered the hospitality and media landscape, making regular TV appearances, performing cooking demonstrations and guest speaking at major events 

A doting husband and father of two young boys, Tim is the proud owner and founder of Tim’s Toasties, a mobile gourmet toasted sandwich business with a strong emphasis on showcasing seasonal, local and regional produce from Ballarat and surrounds. Tim is passionate about serving up generous toasties with delicious and inventive flavour combinations, with names inspired by film and music - two of Tim’s other passions in life. Taking the humble toastie to the next level! 

Being a new host on Good Chef Bad Chef is an absolute dream come true for Tim, who has been a fan of the show for many years.
