Chopped (2009)

Episode Overview

In the thrilling conclusion of a four-part tournament, the three finalists battled it out in two rounds—appetizer and entrée—each vying for a guaranteed prize of $15,000. The ultimate winner then faced off against Bobby Flay in a wild card round worth $25,000, providing a chance to boost their total earnings to $40,000. This round mirrored the second round of Beat Bobby Flay, with both chefs tasked to create a dish chosen by the winner, which was bibimbap. To adapt to the crossover format, they were given 45 minutes instead of the standard 30 to prepare their dishes.
