Chopped

Chopped is a new competition show on Food Network similar to The Chopping Block on NBC, both airing near the same time so there's no real "first". But the premise is, four proffesional chefs compete and make a three course meal, each one in 30 minutes. And each course has at least 3 mystery ingredients they must use in their dish. Each time they finish a course, they go to the chopping block where judges taste their dish and one chef gets 'chopped'.

Premise: A- it has a good and lasting premise that's not too complicated or simple. And the challenges are HARD. can you make a gourmet entre or dessert in 30 minutes? (Rachel Ray is not gourmet).

Host: B+ The host of Chopped is Ted Allen, a fairly new personality to Food Network, and already the host of 2 shows. He's good in Chopped. He has a nice likability to him that's not too much.

Entertainment Value: A This show is ADDICTING! The show goes by like nothing, and they hold your interest like a suction cup. If you want to be entertained on tv, watch this show.

Chopped is on Tuesdays at 10:00p 9:00c.
