New to Taste of the Heartland 2019!
About: CHOPPED the TV Show
Chopped is a cooking competition show that is all about skill, speed and ingenuity. Each week, chefs compete before a panel of expert judges and turn baskets of mystery ingredients into an extraordinary meal. The challenge? They have seconds to plan and 30 minutes to cook an amazing course with the basket of mystery ingredients given to them moments before the clock starts ticking! Once they've completed their dish, they have to survive the Chopping Block where three judges are waiting to be wowed and not shy about voicing their culinary criticisms!
What to expect: A more laid back version of CHOPPED.
CHOPPED Stettler is meant to be a fun and relaxing rivalry between chefs wanting to show off their abilities in a bit of competition.
