Chopped is a fun and creative food competition. It's always interesting to see what the chefs make from the unusual ingredients.
Iron Chef America is great entertainment from the dishes that are created to the flames and speedy chopping!
Chef the movie is a sweet story of a chef turning a food truck into his dream restaurant. A perfect movie for family movie night.
