On April 7, 2013, the third installment of the “Chopped All-Stars” Tournament premiered on Food Network. Over the course of four episodes, sixteen chefs competed in groups of four. There were four different categories of the chefs through the episodes: Food Network vs. Cooking Channel, Mega Chefs, Chopped Judges, and celebrities, respectively.
Episodes consist of three segments, each featuring judges from a different Chopped episode as they prepare dishes using one of the mystery ingredient baskets given to the original contestants. The second season premiered on July 5, 2016.
During Season 19, Chopped held a 5-part “Tournament Of Stars”. It was identical in format to the “All Stars” Tournaments, with 16 celebrities competing to win $50,000 for charity. The contestants were divided into 4 categorical groups for the first four episodes (sports stars, Rachael Vs. Guy finalists, comedians, and actors, respectively).
Four previous champions compete in each preliminary heat; the winner receives no money, but secures a slot in the finale to compete for a $50,000 grand prize. Starting March 6, 2011, and continuing for four additional episodes, Food Network aired the “Chopped All-Stars” Tournament. Sixteen chefs competed.
