Expect some truly strange food pairings as Chopped throws four new chefs into the frying pan with A Quail Tale, airing Tuesday, July 1, at 8:00 PM ET on Food Network. As ever, the competition is fierce, and the ingredients are, well, Chopped.
This episode sets a challenging tone right from the start. The first round tasks the competitors with turning a hefty sandwich into a refined appetizer, a tricky flip that demands both skill and a strong dose of imagination. It is the kind of surprise this show excels at delivering, forcing quick thinking and bold choices.
The middle round ratchets up the difficulty, combining odd soda with quail. This is where chefs earn their stripes on Chopped—transforming disparate elements into a cohesive dish that works. Host Ted Allen oversees the culinary battle, guiding us through the creative highs and spectacular lows that are standard procedure.
