Food Network is taking Chopped on a global tour this Tuesday with an episode inspired by the bustling energy and eclectic flavors of international night markets. Airing at 8 PM ET, Night Market Madness throws four chefs into the culinary fray, each tasked with whipping up dishes that celebrate street food creativity—with a Chopped twist, of course.
The appetizer round gives the chefs free rein to express their cultural viewpoints, before things take a turn in the second basket with a protein that will force some on-the-fly decision-making: duck. But the real surprise comes in the dessert round, where an alarming kabob situation will likely separate the contenders from the pretenders.
With Ted Allen presiding over the controlled chaos, expect the usual high-energy, high-pressure scramble as the chefs race against the clock and each other—with only one surviving the dreaded Chopping Block. This episode looks like a solid mix of global inspiration and classic Chopped gameplay, likely to satisfy fans of the long-running series.
Chopped airs Tuesdays at 8:00 PM ET on Food Network.
