The Food Network's "Chopped" is a culinary competition hosted by TV personality Ted Allen in which four chefs per episode attempt to cook their way through three courses to win a $10,000 prize. In a set amount of time, the contestants must create the most appealing appetizer, entrée and dessert they can from a generally mismatched list of mandatory ingredients, and failure to use the predetermined ingredients results in a forfeit, unless the dish is extraordinary, another chef's dish is far worse, or a combination of the two.

In 2003 Ted Allen gained great public notoriety, when he became a cast member of the hit reality television series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy as their food and wine specialist. He made numerous television appearances as a gourmet, and was a frequent guest judge on Food Network's Iron Chef America...

Season 1 in Review
The first season of Chopped was also the first one I had ever watched. These episodes were decent, although the mystery ingredients pale in comparison to the ones that are out there in later episodes…
Love this show
I think this show is really fun to watch, it's always interesting to see what the Chefs will make out of their crazy ingredients. The one down side, I always get hungry when I watch it!
