Passion and expertise rule the kitchen on the fast-paced new series, Chopped. Hosted by Ted Allen (Food Detectives), the series challenges four up-and-coming chefs to turn a selection of everyday ingredients into an extraordinary three-course meal. After each course, a contestant gets "chopped" until the last man or woman left standing claims victory.

Ten home cooks compete for $50,000. With the guidance and support of mentors Ted Allen, Bobby Flay, Alex Guarnaschelli, Curtis Stone and Michael Symon, each cook faces intense culinary challenges to earn the prize.

15 G's are taken and placed in a posh mansion in an attempt to turn them into gentlemen.

A dozen hungry-to-win hopefuls enter the culinary fight of their lives to host of their own cooking show on Food Network.
