From the Iron Chefs to the Next Food Network Stars to the usual Chopped judges, it’s no secret that we love the Food Network and the talent behind it. So we couldn’t be more excited that Chopped All-Stars is coming back for a second season Sunday, April 8 – with sixteen absolute kitchen masters… that we have already grown to love!
Filled with fan-favorite chefs, unexpected ingredients and fierce competition, each of the five themed episodes will feature four rather special chefs who are challenged to create three masterful courses from ingredients in the highly-feared mystery basket.
From Iron Chefs battling one another to hosts from Food Network shows going head to head, there will be plenty of excitement in the Chopped kitchen! The final showdown will be between the four episode winners where the $50,000 grand prize to the winner’s charity of choice will be awarded.
The judges of Chopped All-Stars will be some of the finest the Food Network and culinary world has to offer and, of course, Ted Allen returns as the enigmatic host. Wonder when we’ll see him behind the stove…
Season Premiere of Chopped All-Stars airs April 8th at 9/8c on Food Network.
