Chopped (2009)

Episode Overview

Four remarkable chefs return to the kitchen, eager to impress legendary judge Chris Santos. The victor of this initial challenge will advance to the grand finale, where Chris will serve as their sous chef in pursuit of a $25,000 cash prize, an equal amount for charity, and the chance to achieve legendary status. Among the appetizer ingredients crafted by Chris is a delightful tribute to bacon. For their entrées, the chefs must incorporate a soup and a popular boozy trend. The dessert basket features a mix of something intensely spicy and something irresistibly sweet.
