Chopped is a cooking competition show that is all about skill, speed and creativity. Each week, four chefs compete before a panel of expert judges and turn baskets of mystery ingredients into an extraordinary three-course meal. Course by course, the chefs will be "chopped" from the competition until only one winner remains. With only seconds to plan and 30 minutes to cook an amazing course with the basket of mystery ingredients given to them moments before the clock starts ticking, the pressure is on! Once the contestants complete their dishes, they're put on the chopping block where three judges make the final call, based on presentation, taste and creativity!
