Is your dish on the "Chopping Block"?


If your a fan of cooking and or television of good quality then Chopped is a show for you. Currently on Tuesdays at 10pm pst; also the Chopped All-Stars is starting April 8th!,... so plenty of time to get caught up if you haven't seen any.

Chopped is a cooking show that has 3 judges which vary from episode to episode, one main host ( Ted Allen, who is awesome) and the 4 contestants. There are 3 rounds in which the contestants compete and at the end of each round the contestants are judged and one is sent on their way. The rounds consist of a "mystery basket" which has ingredients unbeknownst to the contestants. Also the rounds go in order of Appetizer, Entree, and Dessert. Lastly the winner of Chopped gets $10,000 to do with as they see fit.

This is just a fun show to watch on the sheer fact if you like cooking at all,... when you watch them open that mystery basket and then try to think of something yourself that they could make, then if they actually make the idea you had makes the show even better. I always try at the beginning of the episode to pick a contestant that I'm going to cheer for and hope they make it to the last round. Though there is typically a person that I'm not a fan of and I always ( and I know its bad , but it happens)end up cheering for them to make a mistake and fall behind.

All in all if you want to think of a way to be more creative in the kitchen or you just want something entertaining to watch Chopped is something you should be following.
