Chopped…
My new favorite Food Network Show is Chopped. I think it’s actually a true challenge—blows away Iron Chef as a competition of chef versus chef. I would rather see Iron Chef work the same way.
Basically, Mano y Mano everyone gets the same ingredients, no Sous Chef—20 minutes, make it happen! One show, three elimination rounds, one winner! Appetizer round, Entree round and then finally dessert round. My understanding is that at the end all the winners of the individual shows will then compete against each other—fantastic concept!
Also, the judges are much sassier than in other chef competitions. The judges are welcomed—I enjoy their commentary! They might even be a little, dare I say, IRASCIBLE… They all give compliments and if anyone is happy about their compliment they quickly follow up with something negative to wipe the smile off their face—classic!
Do you have what it takes or will you be chopped? I think the humble iChef would do well in this competition…
