Anyone Watch Chopped?

It's a show on the Food Network that features four Chef's that have to cook three courses from the provided ingredients like chocolate and anchovies for desert. They are judged by top foodies and chefs. There are three rounds with one Chef eliminated per round. Some of these Chefs are amazing on what they come up with. Sort of reminds me of my college days when had to make a meal with what I found in the pantry.

 

I've watched a few episodes, I think that the judges are just full of **** sometimes, and aren't really that great at critiquing.

 

Sadly I'm kind of addicted to that show and many others on that channel.
I think it is really interesting to see what they put in the baskets each time. Can be really bizarre but it is cool to see what they come up with.

 

Unfortunately, I watched the Food Network when I was hungry, I ended up eating fast food or pizza

 

I love the concept of the show but really dislike the judges and the host.

Some of the dishes are brilliantly creative and others just appear inedible.

They just had a challenge on Top Chef similar to Chopped. Each contestant started with a mystery box of ingredients, then every few minutes they got a new box with new ingredients and had to use each one. Can't imagine being so on-the-fly to adapt so quickly.

 

Same here.

I think almost every episode I have seen I've thought they chose the wrong person to "chop".
