Chopped After Hours is an American cooking show on the Food Network, hosted by Ted Allen.[1] [2]
A spin-off of Chopped, this show features a similar format with mandatory ingredients and time restriction.[3] Episodes consist of three segments, each featuring the judges from a different Chopped episode. The judges are given one of that episode's mystery ingredient baskets and must cook a dish that incorporates them. No one is eliminated or declared the winner; instead, the judges and Ted Allen taste each other's dishes and comment on them.[4]
