Chopped is one of television's more popular food competition shows, and one of my favorites that I recently rediscovered. I found myself down and out with sickness recently and threw on a marathon on Food Network and thought to myself, "This is awesome. Why did I ever stop watching this show?" It took a few episodes to sink in, and slowly but surely, I realized how often this show makes me want to scream at my television.
Not every episode of Chopped is the same, but there are recurring issues that spring up again and again across episodes that can make a viewer want to rip their hair out. There are few shows on television that can captivate and frustrate me in a way that Chopped can, and as impressive as that is, I probably won't be binging it with my Max subscription anytime soon.
