Four Chopped champions come back fiercer than ever with their sights set on the tournament's $50,000 grand finale.

Then, the two chefs who make it to the dessert round have ambitious plans for some of Alex’s favorite sweet ingredients, but only one champ can advance in this Chopped Legends tournament!
