Chopped (2009)

Episode Overview

Four unique groups of champions are set to return to the Chopped Kitchen: professionals, amateurs, heroes, and celebrities, all leading toward an exciting grand finale where one chef will walk away with the largest prize in Chopped history—a whopping $50,000 and a brand-new car! In the first round, four talented professionals compete to secure their spot in the finale. They must tackle cooking eels and creatively incorporate an extremely salty vegetable into their appetizers. For the entrée, they have to work with a bird and a soda, while the dessert round features an intriguing cheese and a peculiar chocolate item in the basket.
