Chopped is a Food Network reality based cooking television series created by Michael Krupat, produced by Daniel Kay, and hosted by Ted Allen.
In each episode, four chefs compete. The show is divided into three rounds: Appetizer, Entrée and Dessert. In each round, the chefs are given a basket containing between three and five ingredients, and the dish each competitor prepares must contain each of those ingredients. The chefs must cook their dishes and have them plated before time runs out. After each round, the judges critique the dishes based on presentation, taste, and creativity. The judges then decide which chef is "chopped," who is then eliminated from the competition. Thus, by the dessert round, only two chefs remain. When deciding the winner, the judges consider not only the dessert course, but the entire meal presented by each chef as a whole. The winner receives $10,000.

I'm a fan of the food network shows and this one is among my favorites. I love to see what these cooks can whip up off the cuff.

Chopped - 19x04 -- Chopped Tournament of Stars: Sports Stars!
Four athletes, Brandi Chastain, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Greg Louganis and
Charles Oakley, bring their fierceness and passion to the Chopped
Kitchen for the premiere competition of a five part $50,000 Tournament
of Stars. With the charities they are competing for in their minds, they
open the first basket to find a scary ingredient: alligator. Then in
the entree round, the celebs must cook with strange eggs and tiny limes.
The two sports stars who make it to the dessert round put their
athleticism and enthusiasm into making great final dishes that include
crystallized ginger and wafer cookies.

Chopped - 19x05 -- Chopped Tournament of Stars: Rachael vs. Guy!
The four competitors for this second part in the Tournament of Stars are all cooking-competition veterans, alums of Food Network's Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off. But Coolio, Lou Diamond Phillips, Penn Jillette and Carnie Wilson have never stepped foot in the Chopped Kitchen! How will they do with beef tongue and microwaveable chocolate cake in the appetizer basket? Then the stars have a pizza party in the entree round, after they discover leftover slices in the basket. And with hopes of making it to the $50,000 finale, two competitors must make desserts using chocolate bars and banana chips.
