Christine Ha, the visually impaired winner of reality television show MasterChef U.S. in 2012, has announced a contest to find a food guide for her trip in Vietnam next month.
In a video titled “Be my food guide in Vietnam this December!” posted on her YouTube channel on November 8, and shared on her official Facebook page one day later, the American cook of Vietnamese origin said she is looking for someone who can help her find the best places to eat during her trip to Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang in December.
“If you think you have what it takes to be my food guide, send me a thirty-second video,” she said. “And let me know why I should choose you.”
“Be as creative as possible in your video, and just show me your personality, and why you love food,” Ha added. “Don’t wait, don’t hesitate, I’m looking forward to hanging out and eating with you.”
The post on Facebook has received more than 3,000 likes and been shared almost 100 times over the social network with lots of fans promising to try to be her food guide.
Ha is the first blind contestant in the history of MasterChef U.S.
In the reality show’s third season, contestant Christine Ha wowed the judges and viewers with her Vietnamese dishes including ca kho to (catfish braised in a clay pot) and other courses cooked with the iconic Vietnamese ingredient, fish sauce.

She now has more than 240,000 followers on Facebook and over 10,000 subscribers on YouTube.
This year, Christine Ha joins the jury of MasterChef Vietnam’s third season after taking part in two previous seasons as a guest judge.
