Things are about to get spicy – and not just because of the chili peppers – in the Food Network kitchen. “Chopped” returns this Tuesday with “Hungry for Love: Exes,” a preliminary battle in the “Hungry for Love” tournament. Airing at 8:00 PM ET, the episode brings four pairs of former flames into the culinary arena, where they’ll compete for a chance at love… and a $50,000 grand prize.
Forget couples therapy; these exes are taking their relationship baggage to the chopping block, facing the usual “Chopped” gauntlet of mystery baskets filled with oddball ingredients. This time around, the chefs must contend with special dumplings and a “thematic treat” – whatever that may be. In the entrée round, one team finds their sauce has gone AWOL in the kitchen, leading to some serious culinary scrambling. And for dessert? Flowers and chocolate appear, adding a touch of romance (or possibly just more fuel to the fire) to the final round.
Can these former partners maintain their composure under pressure? Will their past relationships help or hinder their cooking? And most importantly, will anyone accidentally set their ex’s hair on fire? Tune in to find out. The winning team takes home bragging rights and advances to the tournament finale, where $50,000 and a potential reignition of love await.
