Chopped: Volume 3

Four chefs who are passionate about pasta are ready to show the judges what they've got! In round two, the chefs hurry to make spectacular pasta plates that must include a succulent seafood and a strange sweet.

Chopped is always a gamble, but the Casino Royale tournament allows competitors to replace basket ingredients with a roll of the dice. In the first round, something slithery is in the basket, and a Vegas-themed item in round two isn't a big hit.

In the second battle of this special Chopped tournament, the chefs get to gamble for a chance to replace a basket ingredient, and the fish offal in the first basket is begging to be gambled away. More gambling in round three leads to serious drama.

In this third battle of the tournament, the chefs can gamble to get lucky or unlucky replacement ingredients. The appetizer basket reveals a notoriously challenging ingredient, and the final round chefs decide to take a chance by baking something.

In the fourth battle of the tournament, the chefs try their luck at replacement basket ingredients, if they dare. A roll of the dice in the entree round leaves one chef with two proteins, and an interesting gamble keeps things exciting in the final round.

Four winners return to compete for the jackpot and the title of grand champion! The chefs have a choice to gamble away an ingredient before each round, and the $25,000 jackpot will get higher or lower depending on the champs' good or bad fortune.

Eight single-and-ready-to-mingle chefs are set up with blind dates as their teammates for a quadruple date and culinary showdown! An aquatic aphrodisiac is a fun find in the appetizer basket, and steak in the entree basket takes the date up a notch.

Four chefs celebrate Black History Month through incredible food. Fish fillets and fish peppers must be combined for the appetizer course, and a hearty soup and a Southern vegetable inspire the chefs in the entree round.

In this battle, the chefs are blessed with an abundance of the so-called food of the gods. The competitors attempt to make duck and chocolate fly in the first round, and faux deviled eggs are a sweet trick in the entree basket.

The chefs get alligator in the first basket and race to see who can make it most tender and flavorful. The three competitors who advance to the second round are determined to show their skill and creativity, but the clock threatens to upset their plans.

Golden baskets are packed with the fanciest of ingredients, and the chefs are challenged to rise to the occasion and create upscale meals. Caviar potato chips are a posh surprise in the first basket, and high-class sushi must be included in the entrees.

Four chefs tackle a thrilling takeout takedown. In the second round, the competitors must make a Chinese specialty work with an Italian cocktail. Then, a tower of something sweet and a cup of something bubbly are part of the puzzle for the dessert round.

The competing chefs must use the fryers to create crunchy, decadent dishes. The appetizer basket contains something spicy and a strange soda. The judges are excited for fried fish entrees but won't let anyone off the hook for making careless mistakes.

The chefs are scared when they find out that the ingredients for their battle were chosen by the fans, via social media. An alarming sandwich appears in the first basket, and a gag-inducing soda is a frightening find in the dessert basket.

The chefs find BLT-themed ingredients in every basket, including a cheesy-creamy comfort food in the first round. In the dessert round, a lettuce-flavored ingredient has the final two competitors shaking their heads and crossing their fingers.
