Tonight is the Chopped All-Stars finale, where the winning chef will win $50,000 for their charity. Let's take a look at the finalists and see how they got here:Episode 1 - This was the Food Network vs. Cooking Channel episode, where Nadia G was eliminated in the appetizer round, Gabriele Gorcos in the entree round, and Jeff Mauro in the dessert round. Sunny Anderson was the winner and will compete tonight for N Street Village.
Episode 2 - This was the Mega Chefs episode, where Chuck Hughes was eliminated in the appetizer round, Elizabeth Falkner in the entree round, and Richard Blais in the dessert round. Gavin Kaysen was the winner and will compete tonight for Children's Cancer Research Fund.
Episode 3 - This was the Chopped Judges episode, where Marc Murphy was eliminated in the appetizer round, Alex Guarnaschelli in the
entree round, and Amanda Freitag in the dessert round. Scott Conant was
the winner and will compete tonight for Keep Memory Alive.
Episode 4 - This was the 'Celebrities' episode, where Judy Gold was eliminated in the appetizer round, Johnny Weir in the
entree round, and Joey Fatone in the dessert round. Laila Ali was
the winner and will compete tonight for Healthy Child Healthy World.Who do you think will take home the prize for their charity tonight? I think with the screenshot from earlier in the season that revealed two of the winners before their episodes aired, we might be in store for a Scott Conant vs Gavin Kaysen final in the dessert round.
I will update this post with the winner after the episode airs.
UPDATE - Sunny Anderson was eliminated after the appetizer round and Laila Ali was eliminated after the entree round. This put Scott Conant up against Gavin Kaysen in the dessert round as expected. After the dessert round, Gavin Kaysen was chopped and Scott Conant ended up winning Chopped All-Stars and $50,000 for Keep Memory Alive.
Happy with the winner? Think having friends as judges and being part of Food Network helped Scott out?

Here's my problem. If the judges don't win, the show loses its credence. The judges have to be the "best" so we trust their judgement. Thus the judges always win. It's predictable.
ReplyDeleteI was rooting for Scott but that stunk
ReplyDeleteThis was not fair for black people and the judges were thinking about there friends
ReplyDeleteIm losing intrest in the show now
ReplyDeleteGavin put sauce on his panko crusted crab making it soggy, rookie mistake. Then he undercooked his starch. Yes his desert blew Scotts desert away, but one success doesnt overcome two failures. Plenty of other chefs have been chopped for less.
ReplyDeleteNot quite true...Nate Appleman won the first one.
