well let's put it this way pat your knives get out you're off the show there are so many
wonderful things that you can chop up and add to create a dish of epic design but what about
those times when you fail miserably at the task and what if it's on television well here are the
10 most embarrassing moments ever witnessed on chopped eel blood those are the shrieking eels
uh who doesn't love a good cooked meal of eel most people probably can't say that they've ever tried
it let alone attempted to prepare it well if you find yourself in a position to eat this delicacy
do yourself a favor and make sure that it is fully cooked much like your favorite pork product the
risk is very real of becoming sick or worse if you eat eel that isn't cooked properly maybe you
should lay off the egg rolls whereas pork doesn't necessarily kill you an undercooked eel's blood
very likely will that's exactly what happened on an episode of chopped when a chef decided to
ignore the advice he was given and prepared and served an undercooked and inedible eel to the
judges on the show most people would listen to the advice from the knowledgeable people who are going
to be eating your food if you consider yourself a know-it-all maybe a televised competition
isn't for you know your judges nice to meet me how do you like your eggs in the morning
sometimes on chop contestants seemingly go out of their way to give judges food items
that they don't like this has happened way more than any contestant or judge would like to admit
take for instance one episode where scott canaan was a judge and the chef in question
served him raw onions if the show didn't provide the contestants a large list of foods
and ingredients each judge likes and dislikes then this wouldn't be an embarrassing moment for anyone
but the producers do supply this information in the form of a cheat sheet to help contestants get
past this simple hurdle this cheat sheet has all of the judges hated foods and seasonings on it why
wouldn't you look it over and find out what's the absolute worst thing you could serve to someone
who will be scoring raiding and consuming your food hey who left this bowl of onions here oh
and this person will also be deciding whether you have a chance to win the competition and take home
ten thousand dollars or at the very least have a say on whether you stay on the show for the
next round the awkwardness of the moment makes for great drama and excitement for viewers but if it's
your food being spit out on a television show and your chances at 10 grand being spit out with it
you might want to resync ignoring this cheat sheet not the ice cream look in the day
i got you some ice cream ice cream is one of the most cherished and amazing treats there is
no matter the flavor or added chunks of chocolate peanut butter fruit or anything else the dessert
is delicious and most everyone likes it ice cream one contestant on chopped knew this and decided
to make a batch of the sugary frozen cream however in the process the chef might have experienced the
most embarrassing moment of her life chef virginia willis was in the process of churning the sugar
cream and milk together when her utensils slipped from her hands and entered the very expensive ice
cream maker the resulting noise from the metal screeching and the spoon being ripped apart was
terrible to most viewers and embarrassing to the chef after this embarrassing moment the chef in
question was rightfully more careful going forward imagine needing to win just to be able to pay for
a 7 000 ice cream machine white grain confusion only one way to sell this food truck five there
are a great number of recipes that call for both sugar and salt when your job is baking or cooking
you should be used to grabbing a container and knowing which one of the granulated items you have
without reading the label but should you rely on that instinct if you were competing for ten
thousand dollars most people would 100 check that the item they think they're pouring is indeed
the item they actually need so when a chopped contestant didn't perform this step which would
have taken just a few extra seconds it created one of the most embarrassing moments ever recorded on
a cooking show the chef in question had decided to bake an upside down cake for a delicate dessert
the cake sat up nicely presented well and the judges were excited to dig in when that fluffy
cake hit their mouths though silence was all that followed the judges were stunned
they couldn't respond to anything they simply looked at each other and then
slowly towards the contestant the sugar had been forgotten the cake was made of salt and salt alone
this resulted in the contestant obviously losing the contest and being embarrassed on television
bursting with nothing what the hell happened an explosion of flavor added food flavorings
are so abundant it's extremely hard to decide how you want to season most items do you want a spicy
italian seasoning what about a creole kick there are flavors dedicated to almost every major
city of every country in the world it's honestly fantastic that we have so many different flavors
to give our taste buds such variety so with all of these spices and flavors available it
should be no issue for a professional chef at a competition to find one to use for their dish
right wrong an intensely embarrassing moment happened on chopped when judge scott cannot
call the chef out because their phyllo sheets tasted like nothing you embarrassed me when the
contestant refused to acknowledge this and instead argued with the judge it made for an increasingly
awkward situation this was only amplified when both the judge and contestant doubled down on
their feelings about the dish ultimately as a chef you have the final say about your dish but
if you enter a cooking competition with 10 grand on the line it might be a smart move to come up
with a better remark than telling the judge that it's their taste buds that are the problem and not
your food sanitation station what's she serving if the health inspector shows up 10 to 15 years
there you are cutting away at a piece of raw chicken the knife slicing through the flesh
with little difficulty and the meat falling to the wooden cutting board beneath once the
chicken pieces are a perfect size and ready to be cooked you must chop some vegetables or prepare
the appetizer right well make sure to flip your cutting board to the clean side if you do one
contestant on chopped made the mistake of mixing a burrito on a cutting board with juices from a
raw chicken before serving it to the judges yikes as you can guess the resulting drama was nothing
short of crazy and resulted in the chef losing out on the chance at winning five in a glass
case of emotion something so simple as ensuring a clean cooking area cost this particular chef a
buttload of cash and embarrassed them in front of everyone in tv land hopefully they've recovered
from this misstep and their friends and family still trusts them to serve up some delicious food
acceptance is the way this is the way this is the way have you ever had to bite your lip and refrain
from saying what you're thinking if you have then you know that most of the time the thing you want
to say isn't worth it anyways when you go to learn new tricks of the trade or to be judged by people
who have more experience than you it might be a good idea to keep your mouth shut and listen to
what they have to say regardless if they liked your food or not it's a good exercise to know
what others like and dislike about your cooking in order to tailor it to a larger audience for some
contestants on shop this concept seems to be lost there are some chefs who think that they are above
everyone else that they already know everything about their craft i'm kind of a big deal some of
these contestants refuse to take simple advice from the judges some go as far as yelling and
cussing at the judges who were only trying to give them options and ideas on how to make their dishes
different in order to attract a wider group of eaters one of these moments was so awkward that it
resulted in a chef leaving the show on a negative note always be willing to accept both criticism
and compliments it may just help save you from embarrassment don't run with knives don't ever
do that again a life lesson that literally every single person in the world is taught from the time
they learn to walk is to never run with a knife you would think that any and every chef in the
world would know this and have it ingrained in their brain if they were to fall or if someone
stepped out in front of them it could be a scary moment and easily avoidable mistake why wouldn't
you respect this ancient rule why would you run with knives in your hand there is no good reason
to not even on a competition show but this is exactly what happened on an episode of chopped
when one contestant saw that their dish was much more important than everyone else's safety well
call it karma but the offending chef wound up with a sliced finger that took five minutes to
bandage on top of this the chef had to work around his injury while being ridiculed and called out
by the judges and the other contestants for doing something so careless get out unable to finish the
dish that he was preparing the chef was ultimately tossed from the competition and the embarrassing
moment was forever immortalized on tape for the world to see so kids if you're watching this and
your parents have never told you not to run with sharp objects in your hands this is a great lesson
to learn especially if you're ever going to be on a television cooking show or become a head chef
at a restaurant fluttering minds so that heats up your knees and cooks at the same time so this is
probably a moment that everyone has experienced at some point in their lives you're in the middle
of doing something then all of a sudden your brain goes numb you can't remember what you're doing or
why what would you do if this moment was broadcast for millions to see oh my god
what is that one chopped contestant had to deal with this exact problem when he seemingly froze
in the middle of a dessert round while preparing his dish the chef in question was one from humble
beginnings and was relying on the money he would win to continue on in his dreams of becoming a
professional chef the stress he was experiencing and anxiety over trying to be perfect and beat
the other extremely talented chefs must have been brutal while everyone felt for the man
the realization of embarrassment could be sensed through the screen
for many this moment of frozen-ness would have left them too embarrassed to continue on the show
lucky for this talented contestant though he pulled out of his trance and went on to win the
dessert round with a perfect dish we can all take this as a lesson embarrassment can be overcome
so long as you just keep going where's the bloody food it's drink i like it i know it's great right
if you are a talented chef chances are you started your career at a relatively young age
serving up plates of mud pies to your siblings fake muffins made of play-doh things like that
well if your father is a massively successful restaurateur in new york city your upbringing
may have been a little different you probably never served up a mud pie or play-doh muffin
however you most likely received great lessons about whatever food you wanted to try
when one chef decided to follow in his father's footsteps the young man decided to go
on chopped he was a favored contestant and most judges personally knew his father this upper hand
didn't help any however when the chef presented the judges with empty plates due to his dish
not being ready in time to serve the embarrassing moment was only amplified when the show's cameras
panned to the judge's faces and their looks of pure shock i meant no disrespect one of
the judges was so amazed at the foodless plate that they sat there moving their head back and
forth like a lost toddler the moment seemed to last forever before a kind-hearted judge asked
to taste the pasta sauce and gave out a compliment to the chef to break the tension all in all this
might be the most embarrassing moment ever seen on chopped get a taste of more great videos just
