The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, April 6, 2012 10 Cooking this week 'Chopped All-Stars' returns with more big names TV Media A "Chopped All-Stars" pre- miered in March of last year, the ratings went through the roof as it became the most- watched cable show that night. It wasn't just the pre- miere, either -- the entire five- week run helped deliver big numbers for the network. So, it comes as no surprise that the Food Network should roll out the red carpet for a second edition, which gets underway this Sunday, April 8. Sixteen famous faces have signed on to battle it out in the kitchen as they race to create top-quality dishes from mystery ingredients. First up: famous faces from another top-rated Food series, "Iron Chef," step out of Kitch- en Stadium and head into the "Chopped" kitchen. Although Cat Cora, Marc Forgione, Jose Garces and Michael Symon might be used to working un- der pressure, they'll be deal- ing with more than one mys- tery ingredient in this compe- tition, and they won't be get- ting any help from assistants. Other rounds include a s the saying goes: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. When the first "Prime Time vs. Day Time" battle between Food and Cooking Channel's talent, with Keegan Gerhard ("Food Network Challenge"), Jeffrey Saad ("United Tastes of Amer- ica"), Aarti Sequeira ("Aarti Party") and Marcela Valladol- id ("Mexican Made Easy").

But it's the "Chopped" judges-turned-contestants that fans love to watch. After watching them critique con- testants week after week, it seems only fair to see how they perform under the same pressure. The April 29 episode pits Alex Guarnaschelli, Marc Murphy, Marcus Samuelsson and Chris Santos against each other to see who can live up to their own standards. As entertaining as it can be to watch these renowned chefs and culinary stars, they might not want to hear that reputations and past laurels don't necessarily mean much in this type of competition. It's a chef's creativity and adaptability that really shine through when they're strug- gling to incorporate hotdogs into a dessert or combine canned haggis and teething biscuits to make an appealing appetizer.
