Chopped (2009)

Episode Overview

In the second round of the Tournament of Stars, four seasoned contestants—Coolio, Lou Diamond Phillips, Penn Jillette, and Carnie Wilson—are ready to showcase their skills, but they’re all newcomers to the Chopped Kitchen. Faced with a challenging appetizer basket containing beef tongue and microwaveable chocolate cake, they must impress the judges. The entree round takes a fun twist with a pizza party, as they find leftover slices in their basket. As they aim for a chance at the $50,000 finale, the pressure mounts in the dessert round, where they must create treats using chocolate bars and banana chips.
