What’s in Your Ultimate Chopped Basket?
by FN Dish Editor in Shows, January 21st, 2013
Three rounds, three different baskets and 12 out-of-this-world ingredients. Whether it’s Chopped Champions, All-Stars or regular-season episodes, that’s a lot of combinations to come up with.
So we’re asking this question: What would be included in your ultimate Chopped basket? Not something you’d want to receive, but something you’d give to a fellow competitor. Would there be two proteins? All sweets? Would you include one or two ingredients they’ve probably never heard of? It can be argued that the simplest ingredients like eggs, chicken, pasta and rice are sometimes the hardest.
Tell us what you’d choose in the comments below.

Ya'll want to give them one heck of a challenge? Give them MRE's, (Meal Ready to Eat) If we can turn them into full blown dinners in the desert with little to no tools save for a knife and a hot radiator then ya'll should be able to turn them into amazing dinners. Make it random to. A different MRE PER basket! You'll never know what you'll get inside it until you open it! You have 24 different types of menu's to use in it. I would love to see this!
