It's Thanksgiving in the Chopped kitchen and four chefs are giving it all they have. Things start off on a sweet note, with maple syrup in the appetizer basket. Then when the chefs get an ingredient in the entree round that is more popular as a decoration than as a food, will they be able to make the beautiful, edible? And after cooking with some traditional turkey day favorites in the last round, the two finalists hope the judges will want to gobble, gobble up their desserts.
The Fieri family is back as the three youngest members are paired up with all-star chefs to compete in preparing a one-hour Thanksgiving feast. Guy Fieri gives them a two-for-one special of pie and turkey that they must use in both their appetizer and entrée plate. Plus, the longtime members of the Fieri family adults' table -- Jim, Penny and Lori -- all join Guy in his shenanigans. In the spirit of holiday giving, the winning team earns money for their favorite charity.
Guy Fieri's got Thanksgiving simplified with some of his favorite chefs. Antonia Lofaso gives the gift of her Hot Apple Toddy before crisping up some Cauliflower with Lemon Aioli. Then, she gives thanks with a Beef Tenderloin served with Roasted Wild Mushrooms. Marc Murphy revels in the role of chief pasta maker with a tasty Kabocha Ravioli and then roasts Sweet Potatoes with Crispy Chickpeas. Michael Voltaggio gets carried away with his Turkey Breast Curry Katsu and saves the best leftovers for last with some Pumpkin Pie Egg Rolls with Cardamom Whipped Cream.
After hours, the Chopped judges leave their comfy seats to take over the stoves and demonstrate how brilliantly a basket can be transformed.

Round two brings out the mother in Marc Murphy, who makes quick work of carrot baby food and offers wine bottles to the competition as they speedily plate. The final sitcom-themed showdown boasts nostalgia-inducing flavors and unheard-of combos that may well become future staples.
