A creative take on poke and some special seafood in round one; pork not found at the average grocery store; the competitors who make it all the way to the dessert round must work with a salty and sweet snack.

Low-calorie chips and leafy greens inspire creativity in the first round and after opening the entrée basket, the chefs are wondering if avocado-free guacamole is good or bad.

It's game day in the "Chopped" kitchen; after kickoff, the chefs get an appetiser basket loaded with foods to fuel hungry sports fans; the entrée basket has a super strange shot glass and some winning wings.

Nose-to-tail cannot fail; competing chefs get a pork theme; gorgeous cuts of premium meat; a Bloody Mary with a special surprise; something fizzy and something offal-ly difficult to incorporate in a dessert.

Chefs set out to prove that fish heads are delicious in the appetiser round; a strange-flavored fizz threatens to throw off the chefs, and an equally odd taffy perplexes the remaining competitors in the dessert round.

The chefs must hop to it and make rabbit terrine work with a less highfalutin, packaged product in their appetizers; combining cake mix and ramen; a weird ice cream and a curious condiment.
