Chopped Mystery Basket Weirdest Ingredient Bracket Tournament — Announcing the Winner

Some of the mystery basket ingredients that get used on Chopped are pretty unusual, to say the least. But the culinary producers who come up with them don’t just draw them out of a hat — though sometimes it does seem that way! They take their time to decide on the ingredients, making sure the basket components are just right and actually manageable. FN Dish queried the culinary producers to find out the top 16 weirdest basket ingredients they’ve had on the show. The list of ingredients ranged from goat brains to gummy eggs over easy — almost no ingredient is off-limits.
Now, Chopped fans, in the past four weeks, you've been voting in this Bracket Tournament to determine the weirdest mystery basket ingredient ever used in the show's history. What started out as 16 ingredients was narrowed down to just one. Today, FN Dish is revealing your winner.
