Chopped All-Stars Tournament Episode 1

[stephchicago]

I love chopped and when I grow up I want to be on the show. I really love cooking and tasting, but most of all I would like to thank aces551 for these great videos. At my house I don't have the ability to watch tv because it was too expensive and it is really helpful and money saving.Thank you!!

[new10moon10]

@Jinxkatrina8 Scott Conant is the best.just sayinn

[CrimsonOkami]

I think Alex is often rude for no damn good reason. When contestants make valid points, she looks at them as if they're being totally absurd.

[axelpayne69]

I am a fan of Food Network Star, and from seasons 1-6, season 2 was the best, and season 3 was the worst, and for this competition, I felt that they should have had the winners from seasons 2, 4, 5, & 6 compete: Guy, Aaron, Melissa, and Aarti.

[Follayart1]

Alex always chooses 1 peeson and champions for them the whole way through...i dont like that

[axelpayne69]

@Follayart1, it's almost as Alex picks the winners out of favoritism, and not by professionalism.

[houchi69]

fan favorites?

im pretty sure Michael and Lisa were not fan favorites.

[aces551]

@houchi69 - I think Michael was. I don't like Debbie, personally. Not sure why. I agree with you they could have picked a better bunch of "fan favs" from all Seasons of "Next Food Network Star".

Do they get paid to be on Chopped? Anyone know for sure?

[style002323]

i love cooking

[jasonesapp]

best show on TV

[aridancer14]

Brad is really, really cute :3

I almost gagged when I saw that calf's liver... And it must have been hard to incorporate potato chips into a dessert. Chopped always makes me feel respect for the chefs :)

[pokkmon]

@blackmumba111

although i do agree with you about Zakarian being snobby and prude, i do think he is a fantastically amazing chef. i like Zakarian much more than i do Alex because i also agree that she is pretty one note.

[ssbgjoclkvhs]

"I've never cooked with it before, because why would you??" this show is AWESOME

[aces551]

@ssbgjoclkvhs - I know, it cracks me up everytime. At 19:52.

[ccutehoney]

the beginning with all of them just staring at the camera (i wonder how many takes that took without them cracking up)

[AnnaChwan1234]

Go Debbie!! koreans for the win <3 lol

[llchristseeker]

@AnnaChwan1234 i am chies to by the waye i am only 9 so my spelling is not good i go for debbie to

[watyomamagot]

I LOVE MICHAEL :D

[idonteatturtles]

Brad is such a cutie

[11jesus11Na]

i LOVE CHOPPED lol i love chef samuelsson he's a great cook.

[ofagenowplease]

kill a litter of puppies

[MyEleisa]

thank you! so hard to find full shows. much appreciated :)

[fallenhackable]

I don't know why but Chef Lisa is so attractive with those glasses on. Maybe I just have glass fetishes but anyway great competition. They needa do this more often.

[aces551]

Chef Alex Guarnaschelli is one of 3 people I am rooting for to WIN Next Iron Chef, S04, "Super Chefs".

I REALLY, REALLY wanted Robert Irvine to be the next Iron Chef - I mean, look at him! Look at how he kicks butt on Restaurant Impossible - He would have been perfect! But alas, he is gone... sniff...

So go Chef Alex!

[candejones1]

@aces551 I agree, I really wanted Robert to win well I should say we, because my husband and I we like to watch Robert Irvin tv shows ( Restaurant Impossible and Dinner Impossible, and We are thinking that Alex is going to win too.. so way to go Alex Guarnaschelli...n

[DrWestofReanimation]

@aces551

What do you mean, that Robert Irvine is gone?

[aces551]

@DrWestofReanimation - Sorry for the confusion - we skipped from this Chopped All-Stars into the currently airing "Next Iron Chef S4: Super Chefs". There are 10 celebrity Chefs in a contest trying to be an Iron Chef. Robert Irvine got eliminated, and I am still pouting about it, since he was my first pick to win. So our comments shifted to a different show!

[petdetail]

Brad reminds me of Justin Timberlake...eeeek!

[followerofbasho]

thank you= thank you for posting

[3HeadedMonkey]

i'm surprised Debbie didn't keep reminding everyone that she was korean XD

[aubrey1015]

Marcus is handsome I bet he can cook in the bed too!

[FangKillian]

Kill a litter of puppies. Just to win.

[mireille876]

These are great episodes. Thank you so much!

[mrtd14me]

Brad is HOT...he looks A LOT like Chad Michael Murray!

[acriticandcynic]

"Karela is the essence of hate... and it is bitter"

I imagine this wrinkled old Karela sitting in a retirement home all bitter and hunched over, with a 3 pack a day smokers voice shouting profanity at the other residences, spouting off about how the government is big brother, and a harsh gargled giggle whenever it does something perverted to the unexpecting nurses that walk by...

[aces551]

@acriticandcynic  OK, I needed that.... threw my head back and laughed. Thnx.

[acriticandcynic]

@aces551 I have a vivid, with a splash of twisted imagination - and my humor can run the gamut. This is seriously the first thing that popped into my head when he said that... an old, crinkly karela angry at the world around him -- it's just a fun statement that he made. Glad you got a chuckle out of my comment - humorous thoughts are best shared!

[pacitto1000]

how did u get a 40 minute video on youtube?

[aces551]

@pacitto1000 It is a privilege they give to you when you upload videos regularly, and have a lot of view/hits. HOWEVER, that privilege is taken away once you get a "copyright infringement" strike (or any kind of strike, I assume) on you account. Alas, I had the privilege for about 2 weeks or less before it was yanked away from me.

[AceStars12]

Alex Is so Nice. Why do people think shes mean?

[screamingdean5]

Gee, the guy at 05:28, Marcus Samuelsson, won the second season of Top Chef Masters.

[MissSmartCookie123]

thanks soo much for the FULL episode

[lilyruby13]

mmmmmmm........ toast flavored.........

[lilyruby13]

I LOVE MANGO AND POUND CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1404mm]

I like Chef Alex. She is not mean.

[davidalloy94]

is it possible to make suggestions for things they can have the contestents use?

[aces551]

@davidalloy94 - Not that I know of. You can Google it or go to the Food Network site and see. You never now...

[blackmumba111]

@davidalloy94 @ 18:15 an add says "Guess the Mystery Fan Ingredient for an Upcoming Episode" so I guess they hold little contests or something where you can submit an ingredient

[houchi69]

@davidalloy94 it says "mystery fan ingredients", so im sure you can submit your inputs.

[missSpoild12]

That melon is horrible, it is very bitter.

[missSpoild12]

i love michael. he is so funnie.

[cupcakegretchengirl]

The women in the midde always looks really really tired .lol

[BaShFaN4LiFeUbZ]

LOL the other judges were grilling Chef Alex at the dessert round.

[pekkle0724]

what happens to brad??? it looks like he lost ALOT OF weight.. he looks kinda ill here.

[radrichy]

i actually feel that chef alex was very nice campaigning for lisa even though she didnt finish

[aces551]

@radrichy - me too.

[dvinb12345]

@radrichy I actually like Alex. She's always been my favorite. She's never too harsh, she's just good at what she does.

[8950bruce]

I know I have been waiting forever

[sabahsan]

"so you wanna carrot with a grilled cheese sandwich?" ....lols..... luv alex!!!!

[dadstweet]

finally full episodes! foodnetwork dont even have full rpisodes and it comes on on foodnetwork

[Jinxkatrina8]

I think people are too hard on Chef Alex, she's a bit harsh but at least she's not Scott Conant. I don't think she's really that bad.

[aces551]

@Jinxkatrina8 I agree. I don't think she's mean or harsh, just honest analyzing the food. And I've seen her upset about chopping people, I've seen her shed a tear, and show emotion plenty of times. It's strange she has so many people that don't like her (?)

[JONAS12797]

@Jinxkatrina8 Scott Conant is the best judge of all time his Italian background and good eye and taste for food makes him better then everyone!!

[axelpayne69]

@Jinxkatrina8, I disagree, because I think her constructive criticism is more personal than professional.

[ravenbabe121]

@Jinxkatrina8 I agree totally. Scott Conant's distaste of raw red onions is just purely anal

[zacefronhoney]

chef brad is so hot

[azngirl10588]

corella is acually gơod if you cơk it with broth.. stuffed with somekind of meal like the partridge and use the bluberry to give the soup the little swêtness and the other sêed things.. idk wat to do with it

[frugaldoodle]

Used to like Chef Alex. Then she got on my nerves. She tends to be biased. Also anyone else feels she seems to set herself as the benchmark? Rem one episode where she told the guy she would've done the same as him and she seemed to expect the fella to feel it was a compliment to him. Seems a little high handed to me.

[kamg626]

@frugaldoodle actually she said "I don't know if that is a compliment" and he said "i take it as one"

[kaylir14]

thank you for uploading this!

[xbox360q80]

thank u vry much 4 these episodes and also because its the full episode (not parts)

[mrtd14me]

I LOVE Chef Brad!!!

[vanessasonny143]

OMG he would kill a litter of puppies to win 8..(

[apacheandsharon]

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THIS SHOW COULD NOT BE ELEVATED TO ANY MORE OF AN EXCITING LEVEL... 

[geminigold617]

couldn't find this anywhere, thank you for posting.

[dleesnuts]

way to freakin go, thanks so much for this!

Also, I freaking hate Lisa Garza... i'm not really sure why. But if I ever saw her on the the street, walking in the rain, with her arms full of groceries... I'd trip her.

[victory01]

@dleesnuts LOL!!! me too, I don't know why. She seems like a cocky bitch and even when she smiles it seems really fake.

[aces551]

@dleesnuts - You're funny. I don't know why, but I feel the same about a few people I could name. One being my ex-boss. And not just because she is my "ex" boss - I wanted to trip her the minute I met her and it never changed.... I bet we could all name a few "trippees" that have passed through our lives.

[Remeez1000]

we all no alex couldn't stop talking bout brad!..... it's love......

and brad dishes .....was awsome.

[mzmelinda1]

Yaaaaayyyyy!! Thanks so much! Finally full episodes of Chopped!

[axelpayne69]

As a Chef, I don't like Chef Alex. I think she's totally one-note, especially when she competed on ICA.

[guesswhat97229]

@axelpayne69

Also, as a judge she doesn't offer constructive criticism and seems to focus more on her personal feelings about the contestants.

[blackmumba111]

@axelpayne69

I like her more as a chef than Geoffrey Zakarian. I find him snobby and a prude when it comes to his food. I feel that he doesn't think anybody is worthy to eat his food...meh...feel the same way about Michael Symon (Simon?) but that's because I went to his restaurant in Cleveland and was treated horribly.

[JoeGilliganfilms]

@axelpayne69 Same here, and I'm a pastry chef in training.

[EowynAhsokaLover]

I always wonder how the chef's can eat so much food. On Iron chef too.

[LaReInAofSoCali]
