Kefir and Loathing
Fermented milk and an ingredient with a 'secret' history are at the forefront of the appetizer round, an unexpected surprise is found in the dessert basket and the last two chefs go in a similar direction with their final plates.
Sweetbread Dread
The chefs must determine the best use of sardines in the first round. Round two takes the chefs in a different direction with pricier basket items such as sweetbreads. The remaining chefs attempt ice cream in the final round.
Best Halloween Ever
Four one-of-a-kind cooks dress up for Halloween in the Chopped Kitchen. The judges are eager to see what frightening sights a drag queen, a witch, a medieval reenactor and a bloody-faced warrior will scare up for them.
On the Quack Burner
The chefs have to use duck tongues in their appetizers, and a seaweed pasta product may be the weirdest item in the second basket. Then, the finalists have to work spicy alcohol and a sweet cream into their desserts.
Web Stars
Competitors with successful online cooking shows are ready to put their web-honed skills to the test. Round Two has the judges monitoring the clock with doubts that all three chefs can get a particular ingredient cooked in time.
Turkey Day Heroes
Four chefs who cook in soup kitchens face off in this special competition.
Holiday Reality Check
Reality television stars Les Gold, Claudia Jordan, Jenni Pulos and Karina Smirnoff take over the kitchen. One competitor has never eaten a common vegetable from the entree basket, then the dessert round becomes unpredictable.
New Year's Bash
It's the first ever Chopped New Year's party and the competitors get the celebration started with an extravagant appetizer basket that includes $50 worth of caviar and other pricy ingredients. The chefs find more premium items in the entree baskets, as well as a traditional southern New Year's legume. The last two chefs in this New Year's fight face some dressed-up ice cream cones and a limited number of grapes for dessert.
