Chopped: Season 2020, Episode 36

2020 - 36: Beat Bobby Flay: Battle 1

For this Chopped tournament event, 16 fearless champions are back to defeat the ultimate competitive-cooking heavy hitter, Chef Bobby Flay! The winner of each preliminary battle will advance to the Beat Bobby Flay finale for a chance to take on Chef Flay for $50,000. In this premiere battle, a strangely sweet sandwich and beautiful seafood await the champs in the first basket. Round two involves an unusual beef jerky product and a twist on hummus, and in the do-or-die dessert round, the remaining chefs have to use a special banana pudding and some fancy bacon.
