Four new chefs battle to see if they have the chops to win Chopped. In the appetizer round, one competitor makes a risky choice to prepare a basket ingredient in two different ways. Will her dish be a hit or a flop? Then in the second round, the chefs are challenged to make excellent elk entrees in just 30 minutes, or else face elimination. Finally, ice cream nachos in the dessert basket seem whimsical, but the final half hour in the Chopped kitchen is not all fun and games for the final two chefs.
Chopped kicks off a magnificent, five-part, star-studded tournament event, where celebrities who are famous in different fields take over the kitchen for a shot at scoring $50,000 for charity. In the first competition, web stars who shine online for millions of followers will shine on TV, including Josh Elkin, Justine Ezarik, Hilah Johnson and Lazarus Lynch. In the appetizer round, the Internet phenoms seek to dazzle the judges with their blood sausage appetizers. Dealing with duck could be the biggest obstacle in the entree round, then a Japanese frozen dessert and an instant breakfast food challenge two web stars in the dessert round.
In one of the most difficult challenges of the season, hosts and judges Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman embrace the "loaded" foods trend by asking the remaining kid bakers to make loaded milkshakes from scratch topped with two different baked goods. All that baking and ice cream making will secure the three best bakers a place in the finale.
The Chopped judges take on some of the best baskets, and in the first round, it's a judges' jam session when they revisit a rock stars competition's dessert basket. In round two, a beautiful rack of lamb offers the chefs a chance to show off their skills. The final round of late-night themed ingredients scares the judges, but they find creative ways to include them.
