Episode list

Cauliflower is the veggie of the moment and the undisputed star of this Chopped battle. In the first round, the chefs must use the ubiquitous carb substitute in their dishes along with a funky Mexican delicacy.

The chefs learn that they will be required to fry something in every course; in the appetizer round, a brightly colored beverage and a stuffed pasta are part of the puzzle; a wild sundae brings fun to an exciting dessert round.

Four college students with a passion for cooking take over the kitchen to prove who can make the grade; a humble pizza and a common protein keep the appetizer basket palatable but present a challenging culinary puzzle.

The chefs receive a challenge to use small basket items to make dishes without skimping on the flavor or creativity, but it's up to the judge is to determine if the pint-size portions can compare to the mighty main plate counterparts.

Something fried in the appetizer basket is a bit of a head-scratcher for the chefs, and the competitive fire is strong in the entrée round as they pull some curious fusion tacos from the basket and hustle to put together plates.

The appetizer basket's ingredients get the chefs pondering ballgame fare.

For the first time ever, host Ted Allen and his sister -- plus three judges and their siblings -- crowd the kitchen for a wild Thanksgiving competition!

Four chefs with personal connections to Cuba cook with a variety of Cuban foods. Butchering a whole fish gives one chef a lot of trouble in round one, and a jarred version of a favorite Cuban sauce appears in the entree basket.

All manner of spooky fun is found in the first basket, including a scary sight in a martini glass and macaroni and cheese in a clever package. A witch's cauldron holds a green, savory surprise in the entree basket, and it's demolition day at the haunted gingerbread house as the final two chefs make their desserts.

The fanciest ingredients are provided to the chefs in golden baskets, who face the daunting challenge of rising to the occasion to make the judges some of the best upscale meals, which must include caviar potato chips and veggies.
