Chopped

- Season 47

(2020)

It's a match made in culinary heaven as four chefs must tame wild game meat in every round and use a different bourbon to accent and complement their dishes.

The chefs get fries and thighs in every basket, starting with a delicate protein paired with a newfangled starch in the appetizer basket. Bubble tea crashes the theme party in the second round, and the dessert basket features a fun, sugary twist on fries, but the chefs are challenged to make thigh meat work with dessert.

Sixteen fearless, twice-winning, grand champions are back to defeat chef Bobby Flay and win $50,000; strangely sweet sandwiches and beautiful seafood await the champs; unusual beef jerky product and a twist and hummus; special banana pudding; fancy bacon.

Four returning champions try to impress Bobby Flay. In the first round, an oven mishap leads to an alarming situation while cooking with yak burgers, rainbow cookie cake, huckleberry potatoes, and comté cheese. The entrée round includes canned stuffed jalapeños, royale dorade, citrus coriander, and a lemon dessert. Two remaining champs must make big plans while cooking with Watergate salad, coconut sugar, Asian long beans, and kombucha.

Four "Chopped" champs compete for a spot in the tournament finale. In the preliminary battle, the first basket includes a sushi burger, sea cress, lotus root, and ras el hanout. The three chefs in round two have ambitious plans for their dishes while using basket ingredients such as frozen chili cheese dogs, antelope rib rack, oka, and blackberry syrup. The dessert round features gummy bear tart, cocoa nibs, guava, and popcorn shoots.

In the first round, four chefs cook up appetizers using pizza bites, chicken confit, graffiti eggplant, and caviar. In the entrée round, three chefs generate tasty dishes using dirty fries, boar tenderloin, watermelon, and haricot verts. Finally, in the dessert round, the remaining two chefs construct their masterpieces featuring head cheese, sweet and sour cereal, figs, and queso fresco.

The Beat Bobby Flay tournament finale brings four winners back for a chance to defeat a Food Network legend and score $50,000. In round one, appetizers are to be created using stuffed doughnuts, pig kidneys, upland cress, and dried mangosteen. Two of the chefs will be eliminated after the entrée round which features ingredients such as tilefish, lacy cauliflower, potted meat, and rhubarb liqueur. The final chef will go head-to-head with Chef Bobby Flay.

Four chefs are surprised to learn there is a peanut butter and jelly theme in each round. The appetizer round includes peanut butter and jelly hot dogs, peanuts, steak bites, and poblano peppers. The entrée round features giant peanut butter cup, jelly packets, chicken thighs, and bok choy. Peanut butter and jelly ice cream sandwiches, basil, raisins on the vine, and PB&J moonshine are basket ingredients in the dessert round.
