Ghost_Light Recommends

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.

Haha, that's one of my favs because I just like seeing all the crazy shit in the baskets.

One of my favorite shows! I love the crazy stuff in the baskets. Plus I like they tell you what some of the off the wall things are so you are not totally clueless.

I kinda wish I had a TV so I could watch cooking shows.

I think Chopped is my fave! I like Next Iron Chef as well. I'm really, really missing Food Network here in Prague as I often had it on in the background while I worked.

Do they have to use ALL of the ingredients? CAuse I'm not seeing how gummy bears works at ALL.
