The chefs get breakfast foods in every basket and are asked to stretch the most important meal of the day into three courses. They even get to work with farm fresh eggs direct from the chicken coops of judge Martha Stewart.
The competitors bring their best to the kitchen to impress Martha Stewart. In the appetizer round, they take on beef Wellington and an iconic canned meat. In the entree round, they use one of Martha's favorite ingredients.
A basket containing squab kicks off an action-packed first round in the Chopped kitchen. As the chefs endeavor to make great entrees in round two, they must break down a large fish and figure out what to do with a sweet beverage.
The chefs are excited to find a small plates theme in effect for their competition, while the judges -- including Martha Stewart -- are expecting modern, creative dining experiences in every round.
