Mircea N. Stoian o face praf pe Gina Pistol și o acuză ca și-a bătut joc de Florin Piersic la Masterchef: "Nevasta lui Smiley (că altfel nu pot să-i spun) a dat cu mucii direct în dulceața de cireșe"

The special MasterChef episode dedicated to Florin Piersic sparked online reactions, particularly from journalist Mircea N. Stoian, who criticized host Gina Pistol for a misunderstanding regarding a toast. Stoian's Facebook post highlighted Pistol's confusion between the meanings of 'toast' as a speech and as toasted bread, expressing his discontent with the show's handling of the event. The episode, aired on October 13, was an emotional tribute to Piersic, featuring contestants cooking for him and his guests, including a surprise visit from his son, Daniel.
