In this episode of Chopped, titled "Fig Out," four chefs compete against each other in a high-pressure cooking competition. The contestants are tasked with creating an appetizer, entree, and dessert incorporating figs as the main ingredient.

The first round presents a remix of a classic Middle Eastern dish, consisting of falafel and figs. The contestants are given a wide array of ingredients to choose from, including lamb skewers, chickpea flour, and a variety of seasonings and spices. The chefs must carefully balance the flavors and textures of the dish within the 30-minute time limit.

Next up, the contestants take on an entree challenge featuring whole fish and figs. The chefs are given a whole striped bass or a whole loup de mer and must create a dish that showcases the delicate, flaky texture of the fish while incorporating the sweetness and texture of figs. The judges look for creativity in the preparation and presentation of the dishes, as well as the ability of the chefs to use the whole fish in their recipes.

The final round is a dessert battle, where the chefs must create a sweet dish highlighting figs as the star ingredient. The contestants have access to a wide range of ingredients, including pastry dough, cream cheese, and various fruits and nuts. The judges are particularly looking for dishes that use figs in a creative and unexpected way, whether as a topping on a cake or a key ingredient in an ice cream flavor.
