Ted Allen’s Cheftestant Summer “Chopped” In Octopus Debut
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 20th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Videos.
There’s a new cooking show on the Food Network hosted by Top Chef judge Ted Allen and every week some one’s going to get chopped.
Not literally, of course, it’s not a medieval cooking show.
On Chopped, contestants, or “cheftestants” cook an appetizer, main course, and dessert. They have 30 minutes to cook each course and must also use “mystery ingredients” in the courses. The chef who can’t reveal the mystery dish to be a delicious meal at the end of the show is “chopped” and sent home.
On the January 13th debut, Chef Summer was looking to show her vegetarian and vegan cooking skills. Instead, she got screwed (or shall we say strangled) by baby octopus.
Boiling octopus meat was not the most pleasant cooking experience for Summer and it may have been why she was the first contestant to be “chopped.”
Personally, we think it should have been Katie, a 21-year-old pastry chef, who thought green onions were “strange” and didn’t know what the heck to do with them.
