Chopped (2009)

Episode Overview

Four fresh chefs compete to prove their culinary skills on Chopped. In the appetizer round, one contestant takes a bold gamble by using a basket ingredient in two distinct preparations. Will her dish impress the judges or fall flat? Moving on to the second round, the chefs must whip up delicious elk entrees in just 30 minutes, with the threat of elimination looming over them. Lastly, the dessert basket presents the quirky challenge of ice cream nachos, but the final 30 minutes in the Chopped kitchen are anything but playful for the last two chefs.
