Food Network is looking for some Chopped champions. People who can think quickly, creating a meal from scratch based on just a select few ingredients. This time around on the show, though, they won’t be looking just for professional chefs to win the $10,000 dollar prize. Chopped will be changing things up with special themed episodes just like the recent Chopped Grill Masters. These are the possible themes for shows that you could end up cooking on:
- Amateur Chefs
- Teen Cooks
- Military Chefs
- Culinarily-Creative Moms
- Formerly Overweight Chefs Who’ve Slimmed Down
- Unsung Hero Chefs, Cooking for a Cause
- Families That Cook
- Family Feud
All you need to do is click here to get to the casting call, answer the questions, then wait for your call from Food Network. Just like Melt Mobile did with Bobby Flay’s new show 3 Days to Open, let’s show the country what Connecticut is made of. Also take note that there are also professional chefs wanted.

you cant bake and plate a full pork shoulder in 20 minutes.
Ah, they’ll make them find a way…like maybe cutting up just one rib, then boiling it or flash smoking or some weird cooking technique that we’ve never even heard of. It’ll probably be horrible, though. :P Ribs need time, yeah.
I would blend the paprika and cilantro with basil and ginger. Rub the pork shoulder in the mixture brown then bake. While shoulder is baking I will make a sauce with the chocolate and raspberry jelly with merlot and sugar/salt to taste if needed. My husbandaalways ask why I don’t go on the show or cook any of the dishes. .. my answer for the cooking is affordability and going on the show is I never knew they allowed normal people to perform. I am so excited to share my thoughts.
Maleeka, that sounds AWESOME! You should definitely apply. The worst that happens is they say no. The best is that you get to go on. :)
