Episodes
1. Curd Is the Word
Full of energy and precocious abilities, four aspiring chefs take over the Chopped Kitchen and face a judging panel featuring actor Billy Gardell and The Kitchen's Marcela Valladolid and Geoffrey Zakarian. In the first round, they must tame the sweetness of some basket items. Pizza is a fine surprise in the entree round, but lamb loins stump some of the young competitors. Then, lemon curd and a fun retro candy get a spin for dessert.
2. Chasing Rainbow Bagals
Strange bagels, a strong paste and an injury make for an exciting appetizer round. Later, the chefs get to cook with fresh pasta sheets and gooey marshmallows.
3. Shake It Up
Beet hummus and head-on shrimp are found in the appetizer basket; a giant milkshake gives the kid chefs something to get excited about, when making entrées; and desserts are created using fruit and yogurt.
