Chopped: Name Your Price: Grand Finale! (Food Network, Tuesday, February 4, 2025)

Chopped

Food Network’s “Chopped” throws a curveball with its latest grand finale, “Name Your Price,” where four returning champions aren’t just battling mystery baskets—they’re battling each other in a high-stakes ingredient auction. Forget timed cooking challenges; this competition hinges on strategic bidding. Each chef begins with a hefty cash reserve, but every ingredient comes at a cost, and they won’t know what oddball items await them in subsequent rounds. It’s a recipe for culinary chaos.

The first round kicks off with the usual “Chopped” basket shenanigans, but this time, the ingredients are the spoils of war from the auction. We’re talking potentially disastrous combinations, forcing chefs to improvise under pressure. One chef seems particularly determined to snag alligator heart in the entrée round. Whether this gamble pays off or leads to a culinary catastrophe is anyone’s guess. And then there’s the dessert round, where a “clumpy reduction” threatens to derail one chef’s ambitions. It’s a reminder that even in a competition built on financial strategy, basic cooking skills still matter.
