Preview
Chopped is an American reality-based cooking television series. The show is created by Executive Producer Linda Lea, as well as Dave Noll, and Michael Krupat.
It is hosted by Ted Allen.
In tonight’s episode, the chefs have to work with a small plates theme. The first basket features a surprise from one judge’s restaurant. The second round consists of a German sandwich.
How does Chopped work, for those who may be newbies to the series? The show places four chefs in a three-round contest. At the start, the chefs are given a surprise food basket with four mystery ingredients.
In 2016, Ted Allen, the show’s host, was interviewed by Eater. He says, however, that just because his face may seem familiar, that doesn’t necessarily mean you know him well. “The funny thing actually is that from watching Chopped and Chopped Junior, I don’t think you really get to know me that well. I do a lot of counting, and introducing, and trying to pronounce difficult names from all over the world, but there’s — you know, the chefs are the stars of the show. So it’s fun for me to have a chance to do an interview like this because I can stretch out, and maybe I’ll even say something funny.”
He then elaborated on his opinion on why the show is as successful as it is. He says, “It’s a game show. It has the intensity and the speed of a sport and this is why so much of these — I think a good competitive show like ours makes more sense in prime-time than say a stand-and-stir show. As much as I love cooking shows and always have, it’s just a much broader audience and people who don’t ever cook can appreciate it.”
