The finale of the Beat Bobby Flay Tournament brings four outstanding winners back to the Chopped Kitchen for a chance to defeat a Food Network legend and score $50,000. In round one, a pork product goes through a grinder as the champs try to make it taste good. A canned surprise in the second basket is not exactly what the chefs hoped to find, and as the tournament approaches its dramatic conclusion, a twist or two are in store. Finally, the last champ standing gets to cook their signature dish against Bobby Flay, who has been eagerly awaiting his chance at the stoves for 14 rounds of competition! Will the proven Chopped Champion remain undefeated, or will this day belong to Flay?
The final four chefs end the tournament with a nostalgic trip to summer camp. Guy Fieri asks the competitors to net the fish to use in their fish dinner, which must also incorporate the rice cereal they receive in a care package from home. Then, they show off their archery skills to pick a whammy for their grilled winner's feast. The winning champion earns a trophy, a donation in their name to No Kid Hungry and a shopping spree worth up to $25,000!
The Kitchen hosts are making a menu full of delicious game-day grub! Jeff Mauro is making wings two ways with Fried Honey Miso Wings and Oven Baked Sweet and Spicy Cherry Pepper Wings. Katie Lee Biegel shares the melty goodness of French Onion Fries, and Chef Mei Lin stops by to make Sweet and Sour Meatballs and to talk about the new season of "Tournament of Champions." Rounding out gameday, Sunny Anderson creates the ultimate shareable snack, Sheet Pan Pulled Pork Quesadillas.
In the conclusion of this historic tournament, it's judges vs. champions! Two separate knockout rounds with the same basket will determine which genius judge and brilliant champ make it to the $100,000 title fight. The stakes are high as the competitors find an unusual seafood delicacy and a hot regional specialty in the first basket. Then, one champ and one judge will be left to duke it out. Who will score the biggest prize in Chopped history, and who will be chopped?
The champions of the first four Chopped Grill Masters competitions return to compete for $50,000. The fierce fight to the finish begins with an appetizer basket of sardines and canned Sloppy Joe filling. Steaks are served up in the entree course, but the chefs' success with the other ingredients gives the judges much to think about. The final two chefs draw from family memories when they open up the last basket of the tournament and must grill some do-or-die desserts.
Four fearless chefs take on a wild Chopped tournament event with a major curveball: There's an auction before each round to determine each chef's fourth ingredient! The chefs could end up with major advantages or extreme challenges, resulting in an unpredictable competition. In this preliminary battle, things get interesting in the appetizer round when the chef who scores the most enviable auction item ends up struggling with a basic basket ingredient. Then, the pie filling in the entrée basket isn't exactly a treat, and in the dessert round, the tables turn on the chef who seems to have the edge after the auction. The winner of each of four preliminary competitions moves on to the tournament's grand finale, where someone will score a sizable cash prize and the coveted title of Chopped Grand Champion.
A $100,000 grand prize is up for grabs in this extraordinary five-part tournament event, featuring some of the most brilliant stars of the game. In this preliminary battle, defeated culinary heavyweights return with a score to settle, and one ambitious champion runs into two major problems toward the end of the first round. Something stinky in the entree basket has the competitors nervous, and after both remaining champs cook their hearts out in dessert, the judges have a gut-wrenching decision to make.
Four champions enter the kitchen ready to name their price and fight for every edge as they try to repeat a win by defeating all others! In this high stakes finale, the chefs are given a larger sum of money to bid with, and the auction levels up as the items are revealed one at a time, so the champions have no idea how bad or good each sequential ingredient might be. In an extremely fierce first round, all of the ingredients that the chefs win at auction seem challenging in their own way, and the judges' expectations are sky-high for this group of exceptional chefs. Before the entrée round, one chef's heart seems set on winning the alligator heart at auction. Then, in the decisive dessert round, a clumpy reduction seems to reduce one chef's chances of victory. But after the judges discuss all three courses, who will be the grand champion and walk away with an extraordinary sum of money, and who will be the fifteenth chef of the tournament to be chopped?
The winners of the first three rounds of the Triple G Impossible Tournament compete to take on Robert Irvine once more in the finale. First, the chefs must use the "impossible" items on Guy Fieri's grocery list to make a decadent sandwich. Next, the remaining two chefs must make a hearty family dinner using only frozen and canned ingredients. The last chef standing wins another $10,000 and a shot at more money and the title of champion, but only if they can make a more unforgettable dish than all-star chef Robert Irvine.
In the third leg of the Guy's Grocery Games: Superstars Tournament, the remaining six chefs are all given the same grocery list, but must compete in three one-on-one battles to see who makes the best breakfast, lunch or dinner. The winners of these match-ups are safe, but the three that get edged out head into the Redemption Round, where they must flip the ingredients of tiramisu into an elegant entree. Which two chefs will rejoin their peers for the semifinals and get another shot at becoming champions for charity?
