Chopped: 50x12

Playing with Fire: Hog Heaven

Four phenomenal live-fire cooks stand tall, ready to claim the last remaining spot in the tournament’s finale. They get lucky with a promise of perfectly porky baskets, but only one chef will take the judges to hog heaven. One of nature’s sweetest gifts is a part of the appetizer basket, but it may not be a treat to the competitors. A prized piece of pork seems like a gimme in the entree basket, and as the last two competitors race the clock in the dessert round, the $25,000 grand prize begins to feel within reach. But only one chef will still be in the running after the last cloche is lifted.
