Chopped: Desperately Seeking Sous Chef is a new edition of the classic Food Network show, which differs from the original version in several ways. The show follows the traditional Chopped format of four chefs competing over three rounds, appetizer, entrée, and dessert, using ingredients from the mystery baskets. Legendary chefs Maneet Chauhan, Scott Conant, and Chris Santos serve as the judges of the competition, with Ted Allen returning as host.
The Food Network staple debuted in 2009 and has since had a rotating panel of celebrity chef judges including Maneet, Scott, Chris, Alex Guarnaschelli, Geoffrey Zakarian, Marc Murphy, Amanda Freitag, Aarón Sanchez, Marcus Samuelsson, and Elizabeth Karmel, among others. There have also been special editions of the show including Chopped: Champions, Chopped: All-Stars, Chopped: Grill Masters, Chopped: Juniors, and Chopped: Beat the Judges, among others, and a spin-off called Chopped: Sweets.
