Update, April 20, 2021: If you've been out of tune with your dates for this month (don't worry, I never know the date either), you may have woken up today and forgotten that it is officially April 20. And just in case you didn't know what that means, today is the day that Chopped 420 airs on discovery+.
As a little refresher, the limited series will follow the same format as former Chopped episodes with four chefs competing through a three-course elimination for the chance to win $10,000. This time though, fans (and those who like to partake in recreational activities!) will see the contestants create marijuana-infused meals to be judged on. Is that the ideal job or what?
Haven't gotten discovery+ yet to check out the new show today? Don't worry, you still have time and it won't empty out your pockets either! Monthly subscriptions cost as little as $4.99 a month or $6.99 for the ad-free version and you'll be able to watch shows from Food Network. TLC, Disvoery, Magnolia Network, and more.
Original post, March 26, 2021: As marijuana becomes more widely legalized throughout the country, food cooking competitions are taking notice. Shows like Netflix's Cooked with Cannabis are proof of that, and now our beloved Chopped series is getting a pot-friendly episode with an all-new iteration called Chopped 420.
The series, which will premiere on the discovery+ streaming platform, follows the same set-up as the original Chopped show. Four chefs will compete through a three-course elimination and the winner will be rewarded with bragging rights and $10,000. The only difference is that every course will be infused with THC.
According to Food & Wine the series will also include a panel of judges perfect for the job. Comedian Ron Funches will be the host and the panel of judges will include chef Esther Choi, drag performer and cannabis activist Laganja Estranja, chef Luke Reyes, chef Sam Talbot, and comedian Tacarra Williams.
You'll be able to start streaming the limited-run show on April 20, so if still have time to sign up for discovery+ if you haven't already. The subscription costs as little as $4.99 a month or $6.99 for the ad-free version and includes shows from Food Network. TLC, Disvoery, Magnolia Network, and more.
If you're truly Chopped-obsessed, you should also know that on May 25 the show will be releasing yet another version on discovery+ called Chopped Next Gen which will feature up-and-coming competitors from Gen-Z. Basically, there is a lot to be excited about!!
