The 17 season of Chopped was broadcast on Food Network from mardi 13 août 2013 to dimanche 1 décembre 2013. It consists of 13 episodes, the first one is called "Wasted!" and the last one "Celebrity Holiday Bash".
Hosted by Ted Allen, Chopped is a high energy, fast paced cooking competition that challenges four up-and-coming chefs to turn a selection of everyday ingredients into an extraordinary three-course meal. After each course, a contestant gets "chopped" by our panel of esteemed culinary luminaries until the last man or woman left standing claims victory.
