'Chopped Champions' Pits Winning Chefs Against Each Other

Competing for $50,000, the largest Chopped prize to date, 16 previous winners return to battle in a fierce five-part Chopped Champions event hosted by Ted Allen.
Beginning Tuesday, August 31st at 10pm, the contestants go head-to-head in four intense semi-final rounds to determine who will square off in the grand finale. Along with Amanda Freitag, other notable Chopped judges like Alex Guarnaschelli, Geoffrey Zakarian, Marc Murphy and Chris Santos will determine which talented chefs advance, and which chefs go home as first-time losers.
Amanda also judged Chris Burrous and Tamsen Fadal and selected a "PIX Chopped Champion." They had two minutes to create a dish mince garlic, dice an onion, slice a tomato, julienne a carrot and chiffonade mint.
The five-part series Chopped Champions premiere's tomorrow night on the Food Network.
