Chopped: Volume 3

If the tri-tip in the first basket doesn't trip the competitors up, the edible bird's nest just might. Stinging nettles threaten to hurt the chefs' chances for success in round two.

Mock meat and an unusual green powder set the level of difficulty high in round one, and an Italian-Japanese mashup ingredient in the entree round threatens to mess up the chefs' plans.

Four chefs must sort out what to do with pickle pizza in the appetizer round. An egg-flavored snack in the second basket leads to some novel ideas for the entree plates.

Los chefs deben transformar poutine, un pescado completo y un refrigerio colorido.

A plate of poutine and a jar of bamboo challenge the competitors in the appetizer round. Not all the chefs are happy to see a whole fish in the second basket, and the judges panic that not everyone will finish.

Four pastry chefs step into the Chopped kitchen to show off their chocolate skills. A chocolate-covered seafood snack is a sneaky surprise in round one, and a tart fruit and a Japanese food staple appear in the entree basket.

It's a star-studded countdown of the top five celebrity dessert battles on Chopped. The competition is stiff, with professional athletes, actors, rock stars and more facing off to be named the Chopped champion of dessert.

With $10,000 at stake, the chefs are required to fry something in every course. A brightly colored beverage and a stuffed pasta are part of the appetizer puzzle, and a wild sundae brings the fun to an exciting dessert round.

Desafiados a freir algo en cada plato, los chefs prepararán pasta, helados y más.

Three Chopped winners set out to take down Chopped judge Scott Conant. First-round jitters could make the champs' path to victory more difficult, and Scott reveals a hatred for one of the final basket ingredients.

Three chefs return to the Chopped kitchen eager to take on judge Tiffani Faison. An unusual snack food is part of the puzzle in the appetizer round, and the champs try not to let a mashup ingredient get their entrees down.

Three champions arrive back in the Chopped kitchen to take down a formidable foe, judge Amanda Freitag. The champs realize it will be a tough challenge when they open up the first basket and find chicken gizzards and fish heads.
