Teen Chopped – Food NetworkTelevision’s most challenging cooking show is ready for a little child’s play. The Food Network’s hit series, Chopped is set to introduce an another all new kid edition and casting calls for aspiring young chefs are happening now. Teen Chopped will be hitting the airwaves soon and interested boys and girls can submit themselves today for their shot at showing their cooking skills to millions of viewers and walking away with fabulous prizes.Teen Chopped will pit four culinary enthusiasts against each other in one of the most fun and creative cooking shows ever created. At the beginning of the show the chefs are given a basket full of four mystery ingredients that they must incorporate into their appetizer course. Most time the ingredients given would not ever be paired together which makes the task all the more challenging and exciting. After a twenty minute time limit the contestants must turn their dishes into the guest judges who judge each dish based on the criteria of taste, creativity and presentation, the judges then “chop” the worst dish and it’s chef. The three remaining contestants then move on to the thirty minute entree’ round where they are judged and one is eliminated once again. Finally two chefs remain standing for the desert round where the last contestant standing is named Chopped Champion. This cooking contest is a must for any young foodie and quite possibly the reality TV casting of the year.Teens interested in showing their skills for some of the most accomplished chef judges in the world and for the millions and millions of viewers watching at home can submit themselves for consideration for upcoming episodes today by heading here choppedcasting.com/special.php to fill out their casting application.

Jessie BalkwellHello! My name is Jessie Balkwell and I am 16 years old. I believe I should be considered for the Chopped Teen Competition because I have had a passion for cooking since I was younger. My dad grew up working in a restaurant owned by my grandparents in San Francisco, and his cooking made me want to develop a passion for it. He has taught me so much about cooking, and would love tto apply all that to the show. I also love the show and would be honored to be a part of it. 0 Reply July 2, 2014
Jared gilbertHi, my name is Jared and I can’t tell you how much i have a passion for cooking and the ways I can express myself in the foods I make. I may not have the knowledge that I want about different foods and styles, but I do have the passion to learn and execute. I am able to think on my feet and use simplicity in a grand way that will bring out my inner soul and desire for cooking. I am only 17 years of age and I am currently in the making of Jay’s bakery. I currently work in a restaurant with everything made from scratch. I love it and this is exactly where I want to be. I remember the very first thing I learned how to cook was an egg and like it, it may start off small and simple, but with a little tweaking and experimentation, it can be turned into an absolutely wonderful thing. My life revolves around my dream to be a chef. I hope to attend the college of The Culinary Institute of America in CA so that I may travel. Unfortunately money is an issue. I don’t come from the richest family but my parents have given me there all in order to turn me into the young man I am today and everybody recognizes and knows that no matter what happens, I will attain my dreams and find a way through even the thickest forest. I hope to get to chance to have a wonderful learning experience on your show. Thank you! 0 Reply July 2, 2014

Sarah QuinteroMy name is Sarah Quintero and I stay Keeping it Weird down here in Austin Texas. I am 16 years old and have spent about all of my 16 somewhere in the kitchen.I have always had a big passion for cooking, and I have grown up cooking with my mom and grandparents my whole life. Whether it was peeling potatoes or learning my great-great grandmothers recipes I would do anything to be in the kitchen cooking. Today I spend hours on pinterst and reading Food Network and other blogs to find new recipes to try. In middle school I discovered making cakeballs and have been selling and making cakeballs out of my house under the Texas Cottage laws for 4 years now and have expanded my business of the past few years working with non-for-profit organizations in the area. My Dad and his side of the family are native Cubans. So I am always learning new Cuban recipes and traditional food. My mom also being a registered dietitian I enjoy learning about nutrition and trying to make healthy AND good tasting foods. As a family we travel often and consider us to be quite the “foodies” always trying new foods and restaurants that we have seen on Food Network shows. I used to tell my mom when Chopped was first aired I wanted to be on it or I would pretend that I was on the show and we would try to see what we could make with the mystery ingredients. After high school I plan on attending school to get a business degree and attend culinary school so I can start my own Catering Business. I absolutely love cooking and it would be a dream come true to be on Teen Chopped! 0 Reply June 28, 2014

Bruce MatthewsMy name is Bruce Matthews and I am from New Jersey I would love to have the opportunity be on chopped teen because I know it would be a great challenge and I feel I can win. I have watched my family cook for many years and remember watching the food network with my grandma at a very young age. (2-3). I’ve taken different styles from all family members; one of my grandfather’s is a great cook and the other is great at bbq. My grandmother can cook anything and over the years I have always been in the kitchen learning different techniques and being able to add my flavor makes it all the better. The experience will be one to remember.Sincerely,Bruce 0 Reply June 23, 2014
Alexa Johnson-YoungHello casting directors! My name is Alexa Johnson-Young, I am 17 years young, and am currently an upcoming senior at Bethel High School. It would be a privilege to join the Chopped cast and be judged on my expertise by many talented chefs. From the age of 10 I constantly walked around my house following my mother, older siblings, and even my grandmother prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even just a simple Peanut Butter and Cheese Sandwhich. I always jumped for joy whenever they called “Alexa, I’m making food. Would you like to help me?” As the years go on I start to learn to cook myself by following simple family recipes such as my mothers famous banana pudding, my grandmothers’ plantain salad, or my sisters stuffed pineapples ☺️. I am currently enrolled for the Art Institue or Virginia Beach Summer Studio program which will help me expand my food knowledge. I have been asked by numerous of friends to either make food or cupcakes for their birthday parties and from what I have done, there has been no complaints. After High School, I plan on attending The Art Institue of Los Angeles and studying for my Bachelors In Culinary Arts as well as in Baking and Pastry. After college, I plan to enlist into the Air Force as a officer in Culinary. Cooking will always be apart of me, no matter what I do as a career. If I am selected to join the pathway on Chooped Teens, I promise you will not be disappointed in your decision. I thank you for your time in considering my application and would like to wish you a good evening. 0 Reply June 22, 2014

SydneyChopped for teens?! HELL TO THE YAH! Hi my names is Sydney and IV watched chopped for the past year now. I found a love for it one night when I couldn’t sleep, due to a disorder I have. I’m a really active person so I don’t watch tv very much but for the past year Chopped has been my go-to tv show. I have a long story I’d love to tell the tv casting director about how I started cooking. But it seems a bit too personal for just anyone to see right now. But if I did get a spot on chopped I would be 100% willing to share. Cooking for me now is a way to express myself and with chopped you see so many people use their skills and expressing it..all the show, chopped, is a anoligy for life. No one knows what they are going to get but it’s up to us to find ways to make it good…IV had a couple of crazy “baskets” in my life…but now I can use food to express or distract or cope with those “ingredients” that just seem impossible to use. 0 Reply June 22, 2014

Jerry Houston“Jerry Houston, you are Food Networks new Chopped champion!”, the line I’ve dreamed of hearing for the past 3 years! Hello, I am Jerry Houston, I’m sixteen years old, and live in Los Angeles California. Cooking sparked my interest at a very young age, I am currently being raised by my grandparents in LA due to my drug addicted mother and deceased father, in result of that tragedy there was a void I’m my life, I had to begin the search to find self-worth; I turned to cooking because you can create something out of nothing, my grandfather Arthur Houston has owned a surplus of Bar-B-Que restaurants all over the Los angles area, where I first received some formal training, also with all of my seven aunts and 3 uncles. Did I mention my grandparents had ten children? With all of the support and recipies that has been exchanged within my family I can make food ranging from: good ol’ Texas Bar-B-Que, creamy homemade Alfredo sauce, to taking out a wok and making stir fry! If I am chosen, I’d take you all on a trip around the world, letting different herbs and spices dance across your taste buds , and the great part about me is I’m your passport, no need to leave home when chef Jerry is around! I would be honored if I was allowed the opportunity to be on teen chopped! 0 Reply June 4, 2014

Gracie SalazarHi I’m Gracie, I’m 15 years old and I live in San Antonio, Tx. I have the greatest passion for cooking and I also know how to bake as well. I am very creative when I am in the kitchen and all I can think about is what I’m going to be cooking for my family the next day, as you can tell I’m the one that does the cooking at home, not my mom. Well, the person that inspired me to cook was my grandma but I actually thought my self how to cook. When my grandma and I are together, we are like peanut butter and jelly, meaning that we spend all day talking about food and sharing recipes which is the best thing in the world. Let me tell you this, I’m not an ordinary teen, Im actually homeschooled so I can have more time to focus on my future culinary career and so that I can cook for my family when they get home from work. Also, for my birthday I got a canon camera in which I take my own professional pictures of everything that I cook. Now that I have given a short summary of how crazy cooking drives me, let me tell you that being on teen chopped would mean so much to me, I have what it takes to compete. “Please give me this opportunity and pick me!”me tell you that being on teen chopped would mean so much to me. I have all it takes to compete, just tell me what to make and I can whip up anything you want. you thyou that 0 Reply March 9, 2014
Joey FecciHi I’m Joey Fecci from Somers! NY. I’m 16 and have been serious about cooking for as long as I can remember. I started cooking with my Dad when I was 8-9 and now I’m attending the culinary program at BOCES as a junior in high school. I hope to continue my education at the Culinary Institute of America when I graduate from high school. I watch the food network all the time and think I would be a great contestant on teen chopped. I like to surprise my family by making new dishes based on something we ordered when we go out for dinner. I also enjoy cooking a special anniversary dinner for my parents each year. It’s usually a fresh pasta dish that makes my Mom the happiest. I hope you give me a chance.Joey 0 Reply March 6, 2014
Allison RutledgeHi I’m Allison Rutledge and I am 14 years old and I love to cook. I think I should be on teen chopped because I like to make all sorts of things. Like, cupcakes,cakes,pies,meats,pastas,ect. I don’t have much experience but I can make really good food. I especially like making things from scratch because it’s a challenge. I got into cooking by making dinner for my family every night. Apparently they like my food if they want me to cook for them often! Thanks! -Allison 0 Reply March 3, 2014
MadisonHi, my name is Madison, I am 14 years old in a few days, and live in Renton, Washington. I love to cook and bake. I compete with the Puget Pod organization and cook chili competitively. I am the state champion of 2013 in chili, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen or watching cooking shows. I love watching the cooking shows to learn new techniques and recipes. I have been cooking and baking since I was three. I would stand on a chair at the counter and help my grandparents cook. I have a passion for cooking and have a lot to learn as well. I know that there is a huge learning opportunity in Chopped for kids and I want to learn and improve my cooking. I truly hope that you consider me as contestant in Chopped. Thank you! 🙂 -Madison 0 Reply March 3, 2014
Aj UlwellingHi my name is AJ Ulwelling and I’m 12 years old soon to be 13 and I live in Minnesota. I think that I should be picked because I’m creative I can make purée’s, use a stove and oven, and also poach a pear, as well as other techniques. I will say that I’m a good cook but I don’t want to be too overly-confident because I’ve seen people leave in the first round because they thought that their food was the best on earth. I saw the first episode with kids/teens on chopped and I wanted to be on it so bad, especially to get that scholarship, but anyway the real experience is getting to cook for the celebrity judges, and using weird ingredients from a black truffle to nuts soaked in honey. I like using nice presentation because you eat with you EYES and your stomach, so your food should look good as well as taste good. I have taken cooking classes before and when I was little I would make my own cook books, I like to cook just about anything but I do prefer sweets but I can also make some good Italian. Out of all the people I don’t why you would choose me but, I would at least like to be an option because in my opinion I do hold potential and I would like to give it my all just to cook for the judges and be on the show. – Thank you for your time. 0 Reply March 2, 2014
Bobbi and Patti ChagollaWe are identical twins. We cook together. I don’t know if your contest permits this but we are a team. Both our parents work and our mother does not cook, so we taught ourselves with the help of the food network. Our mother gave us permission to find a job, since we are trying to earn money to take our friends to Disneyland for our next birthday. 0 Reply March 2, 2014
RyanHi i am Ryan and i am 12 turning 13 in June. I think i should be in teen chopped because i think cooking is a great way to experiment and try new things. It is cool to just throw stuff together and see what happens. I love the feel of making something new. It makes you feel like you just conquered Everest. I love to cook things for my family. I like to grill meat, make soups, make smoothies, make gourmet deserts, and always enjoy making a super tall sandwich. When i get older i think it may be cool to cater for soccer teams around the world. Not just the small soccer teams, but the really classy clubs. 0 Reply February 24, 2014
Quinn'Tez' DunnHi, my name is, Quinn’Tez’ Dunn, I am 15 years old and I live in Augusta, Ga.
