Chopped DC – a cooking competition at home

I turned 31 years old this year. I decided to host a competition at home and invited my friends to compete. I’ll post the instructions, shopping list, and everything else you need to host your own competition as a follow up to this post. For now, please enjoy the highlight reel!

Structure of the competition:

  • 6 contestants divided across two teams competing in 3 rounds: appetizer, entrée, and dessert
  • Each person must serve as head chef for one and only one round
  • One other team member can serve as sous chef and must help with prep only (cutting, chopping, plating, etc.)
  • Each round has a brainstorming and planning time separate from cooking time
