The Chopped kitchen is buzzing with hot content as four social media influencers take to the stoves. A change of plans in the appetizer round forces some chefs to redirect, and a sea bass fiasco in the entrée round threatens to derail one competitor's dish. Then, apple with cinnamon is a classic flavor combination that the final two chefs must incorporate into their desserts

Four new chefs are thrown into the mix and find out fast what the Chopped kitchen is really like! When they feast their eyes on a hearty sandwich in the first basket, can they transform it into dainty, delicious appetizers? In the second round, the chefs must make creative, beautiful entrees with weird soda and quail. Finally, inside the last basket is duck bacon, which sounds like a dreamy ingredient, but putting it to great use in dessert may prove difficult

In this special competition, four superhero chefs with huge hearts and broad-reaching influence in their communities compete to see who can prevail in the Chopped kitchen. The judges are impressed with the speed and confidence shown in the appetizer round, as the chefs race to put together magnificent mussels dishes.

Then, in the dessert round, when one chef makes the mighty microwave a key part of the plan, will the shortcut prove pivotal to success?

Say yes to the stress! Creativity and passion abound when a new group of chefs sign on for the chaotic cooking experience that is Chopped. The competitors aim to prove that they can roll with whatever they find in the appetizer basket, including gnocchi in a bread bowl.
