Ep 11. Gold Medal Games: Grilling

Gold Medal Games: Grilling is the eleventh episode of the thirty-sixth season of the popular cooking competition show Chopped. In this episode, four chefs who have a passion for grilling are competing against one another to impress the judges and win the coveted title of Chopped Champion.

The first round of the competition is all about appetizers, and the chefs are given a basket of mystery ingredients, including venison loin, cherry tomatoes, pickled ramps, and French bread. They have just twenty minutes to create a delicious appetizer that incorporates all of these ingredients, as well as any pantry ingredients they may want to use. The chefs must showcase their grilling skills by using the outdoor grill station in the Chopped kitchen to prepare their dishes.

After the first round, the judges taste each dish and, based on taste, creativity, and presentation, they decide which chef will be eliminated from the competition. The remaining chefs move on to the entree round, where they are presented with a new basket of mystery ingredients, including baby back ribs, red bell peppers, fava beans, and sweet potato fries. The chefs have thirty minutes to grill up a delicious entree that showcases all of these ingredients, while also adding their own personal flair.

Once again, the judges taste each dish and decide which chef will be eliminated from the competition. The two remaining chefs move on to the final round, where they must create a dessert that incorporates all of the basket ingredients, including a chocolate cake mix, fresh peaches, graham crackers, and tahini. The chefs have just thirty minutes to create a dessert that is both creative and delicious, using the grill to add extra flavor to their dishes.

At the end of the final round, the judges taste each dish and make their final decision on who will be crowned the Chopped Champion. The winning chef will receive a cash prize and the satisfaction of knowing that they have beaten out some of the best chefs in the business to earn the title.

Overall, Gold Medal Games: Grilling is a thrilling and exciting episode of Chopped, filled with delicious food, high stakes, and plenty of drama. Whether you're a fan of cooking shows or simply love food, this is an episode that is sure to satisfy.
