You’ve Been Chopped!
Tuesday night in our house means watching Chopped! on Food Network Nighttime.
If you haven’t seen Chopped! Tuesday nights on Food Network, then do yourself a favor and set your DISH Network DVR for next Tuesday and check out this excellent elimination show with $10,000 up for grabs each week. If you’ve seen Iron Chef America, Ace of Cakes or any of the other competitive cooking programs then you have an idea of what Chopped is about. Only the judging process builds suspense progressively throughout the meal.
Host Ted Allen, and a panel of three judges from the culinary world, judge an appetizer, entrée, and dessert dish from 4 chefs. The chef who produces the least appealing dish is immediately eliminated before moving onto the next round (or course). By the dessert round only two chefs are standing.
The competition is judged on overall presentation, taste, use of the mandatory ingredients, and creativity. The last chef standing not only wins some instant name recognition and prestige, but a big fat check for $10,000, as well.
If you’re a professional chef and like what you see you can audition to be on Chopped! yourself. They are looking for “dynamic and outgoing professional chefs, so if you fit the bill (or the menu in this case) you should apply.
Food Network Nighttime has become a favorite in our house, and if you like cooking shows, or are simply looking for a break from crime dramas, police procedurals, or sitcoms, give Food Network Nighttime a try. It’s already there as part of your DISH Network package!
