DKosty123 I give this show a solid rating though I have only become a recent viewer of this. I base it on the following-Ted Allen - the host, is perfect for this type of program.The contestants are real battlers.Foods chosen for this is creative.When the show finally had a "Beat Bobby Flay" Chopped episode, they came up with a field of 12 champs to try to beat him. They had a champs tourney to decide who would challenge him. While the concept was good here, they made one mistake in setting it up. The final episode only started with 3 people and Flay only had to face 1 champ in a final round. They should redo this tourney and have Flay face off with 3 former champs in all 3 courses and see if he can handle all 3 meal courses. This makes Flays victory in the tourney much like a rigged contest. It is much easier to win chopped when you only have to do 1 course. Granted the winner, just like on Flays own series, got to name what they had to make, but the difference between winning 1 course and winning all three is huge.Each regular show starts with an appetizer round, then an entree round, and then a desert round. Each round has a box of ingredients that must be used to make each course. Usually the box creates a challenge that forces the contestant to be creative.Then a panel of judges sample each dish and decides which dish should be chopped. Now if every dish is ever raw, there will be a commercial break where the judges all have to run to the water closet. Usually this does not happen, but then Ted Allen controls the proceedings quite strictly.The show is worth watching just to see how weird the food can be, and how strange the contestants and judges are. It is fun to find judges who like ostrich legs, and eel. Maybe some day the challenge will be to feature beauty mud in a dish. After all, women who use this stuff have been tasting it for years.
poetcomic1 I watched the first episode and I am still picking my jaw up off the floor. The contestants kept a constant self-pity party going through the whole show about how THEY must each win, they MUST or they will be DESTROYED. It was SICKENING.The premise of the show is to give each chef a box of bizarre and even revolting ingredients and force them to concoct a finished dish using those ingredients (which included such swill as grape jelly beans and sickening canned shrimp, okra and buttermilk (!) and to do it in a RIDICULOUSLY short amount of time. The great and truly creative chefs of the haute cuisine spend days mixing, changing and redoing elements of a dish to create something magical.... constantly changing, tasting, adjusting, tasting, Substituting this for that... and only once in awhile do they come up with a masterpiece. Some of the signature dishes of well known chefs have been through 40 or 50 versions before they are perfected. This show is a travesty and an insult because it does not even acknowledge the most fundamental aspects of true culinary art. I can count on ONE HAND the times I saw these 'chefs' even taste anything at all. The dishes these chefs were forced to come up with were so DEPRESSING.
funnyjoni I like the format of this show and used to enjoy watching it. Today I noticed that I have 6 unwatched episodes on my DVR and I deleted them. The judges seem to judge based on who they want to win not who should win (could also be BAD editing, don't know). It seems like a death sentence to say that you are competitive, you have a lot of experience, something is your specialty or that you teach.Get some new unbiased judges and I would love to tune in again but for now Zakrian,Sammuelsson and Conant are the only judges that have any credibility for me.Go ahead and defend your people Food Network, defend them until the show is off the air.
swhitten79 I am so sick and tired of the three chefs with attitudes. I think that they have forgotten how to cook since they sit on their butts so much and judge other chefs. I think at times once they taste a dish and think to themselves DAMMM why didn't I think of that... I think their EGOs get in the way of fair judging. I would love to see them go against some of these chefs instead of each other and then be judged by the co-workers. Why not bring back some of the chopped champs back and have them judge them and shred their dishes. And Scott for a Chef that likes to throw so many punches about too many red onions, peppers, or any other vegetable that you don't like; why don't you get off your butt and challenge yourself by being on one of the stupid episodes that they fix for judges to win. I think you would be chopped first!
