Chopped

A plate of poutine and a jar of bamboo challenge the chefs in the appetiser round, and in the dessert round, they must hurry and figure out how to utilise a colourful snack food.

The chefs learn that they will be required to fry something in every course; in the appetiser round, a brightly coloured beverage and a stuffed pasta are part of the puzzle; a classic cookie and a wild sundae bring fun to an exciting dessert round.

Returning winners vie for a chance to compete against Chopped judge Alex Guarnaschelli, but the competitors may have second thoughts after they see the jar of bright orange sauce in the appetiser basket.

Three winners with much to prove try to pull off an upset by taking down Chopped judge Scott Conant.

Three champions are on a mission to beat Chopped judge Marc Murphy and prove they're top-level contenders in the competitive cooking world; escargot in the first basket and a super spicy surprise in the entrée basket.
