Chopped on the Food Network.

 

I watch a lot of cooking competition shows, but this is my favorite.  It is kind of a smash-up of Iron Chef and Top Chef.

 

4 competitors start.  They are given a mystery basket of ingredients - flour tortillas, rattlesnake, hen o the woods mushrooms and gummy bears, let's say - and they have 20 minutes to cook an appetizer.  1 chef is eliminated and the remaining chefs get a new basket and 30 minutes to do an entree.  Another elimination, another basket and then 20 minutes to make dessert.

 

Way too entertaining.

My favorite ones are The Next Iron Chef and Iron Chef. :D

I'm watching Next Iron Chef but I like the Japanese Iron Chef better than the new series.

I never could get into the original. We are big fans of Alton Brown at our house though, love his commentaries. :D We also love Jeffrey Steingarten's comments whenever he is a judge.

We do everything Alton Brown tells us.
