Mushroom 'Chopped' Contest

Free Shows

Do you like mystery? Excitement? Anticipation?

Four contestants will square off in front of a LIVE audience to compete in the popular Food Network-themed 'Chopped' competition where each contestant will have 30 minutes to create a delicious mushroom-centric dish for four judges, to be judged on taste, presentation, creativity, and use of mushrooms.

Contestants will have a shared pantry of ingredients like salt, pepper, oils, etc., as well as a few standard ingredients at the contestant’s workstation. And of course, a Mystery Bag of ingredients that MUST BE USED!

Come watch as these contestants create creative, unique, and delicious mushroom-themed dishes--'Chopped'-style!
