Chopped: Castaways

Escape the Island

Four Castaways remain, and the competition returns to a classic three-round Chopped format, which has always been the ultimate test of skill, ingenuity, and resourcefulness. In round one, each chef must tackle a refined ingredient, utilizing smoke to elevate their dishes. In round two, they transition from open flame to an outdoor oven, shifting from rugged fire management to precise, controlled cooking. The last two chefs face off in a final Gauntlet for the title, where they must utilize the fire dome and take on an unfamiliar predator. With $100,000 on the line, everything comes down to execution. Which Castaway will be crowned the champion, and who will be chopped?
