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.

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.

Jaden BothwellMy name is Jaden, I am currently 14 years of age. I have been cooking for all of my life. I have passion for cooking but it really started with my family I call my mother and grandmothers the masters; they all cook very well and they all have taught me what I know. This is the one reason out of many. I want them to know that all the time in the kitchen wasnt all in vain. Another reason why I want to be on the show is to be a blessing to people to put a smile on someone elses face. Especially my father he works alot he lives in a small apartment but, everytime I need something he has it no questions asked, so now I want to have his back by getting his dream house with alll the things he wants. I love my father and I want to be his blessing. I also want to show my younger and older siblings that you can do anything you set your mind to. I really enjoy the show I watch it every night . Usually in my house my talents are wasted, everybody thinks I don’t know what I’m doing but I do after I cook theres no more food left over. My cuisine is soulfood of all kinds like the food your grandma used to make. I call myself the food angle because like all angles they bless you. Thankyou for your time.;) -1 Reply August 26, 2015

Brody CourchesneHi, my name is Brody and I an in love with cooking and food. I’ve been cooking for so long that I just have a love for it. I’m only 16 years old and have been in the kitchen for 8 of them. When it comes to food, there is nothing I love more then to use it in any form of cooking.

She’s the reason why I want to be a teen chopped campion. -1 Reply August 19, 2015
Sam WilderHi, my name is Sam and I am 13 years old. I have been helping my mom chop, peel, cut, prepare, cook, and bake for the past 5 years. She also taught me the importance of timing meals so it all comes out hot at once. My favorite dishes to make are hot and sour soup, zoodles (zucchini noodles), and fresh salmon patties. It took me a while to convince her to let me use her Cutco knives, but now she is even learning from me how to hold the chef”s knife correctly! I watch every Food Network show I can including Guy’s Grocery Games, Beat Bobby Flay, Cutthroat Kitchen, Masterchef Junior, Barefoot Contessa, and especially Chopped! I love researching top chefs to learn their tips and tricks in the kitchen. I just finished 4 weeks of culinary camp and proved to myself that I want to become a professional chef. We had our own version of “Chopped” and I was chosen as haveing the best dessert, which was a pop-tart cookie with pear whipped cream and a strawberry chocolate sauce. Last year, I helped out the school chef every week by doing all the things other assistant chefs didn’t want to do, like picking off the stems of spinach, peeling carrots, removing the skin from portabello mushrooms, cutting off the tips of green beans, etc. These tasks had to be done in huge quantities too, like peeling 400 hard-boiled eggs!My daily life revolves around what I am going to prepare next, and I would love to be on Teen Chopped to show my passion and love of cooking, along with its presentations and talking about the dishes. -1 Reply August 18, 2015

Ive bee cooking since I was allowed to touch the stove I was about ten years old but I have always loved to watch my mom cook since I was five.

Danielle (Danni) GarzaHi my name is Danielle but you can call me Danni, I am 16 years old and I have been cooking since I was small. I’ve been interested from microwaved quesadillas to all kinds of pan fried and deli dishes. I am very creative for I usually always have foods in my fridge that doesn’t seem it will come together but comes out nice. I started to practice cooking when I was in middle school and I now want it as my career and I even want to open my own restaurant as I grow up. I’m good with appetizers and sides like fries along with desserts like cupcakes. I don’t know how I’d be under pressure for I have never been in a competition, but I would love to challenge myself. -1 Reply August 15, 2015
Brittany BergHi my name is brittany berg I’m 16 years old and im from portland connecticut. And I have been cooking since I was little. My mom introduced me to cooking and I have been cooking since I was about 3. The first thing I cooked came out of an easy bake oven. I want to be a pastry chef when I grow up but I believe that I can take down the competition with my cooking skills. I went to vinal tech for 2 years (2013-2015) and took a cooking course for half of each school year and I learned a lot from there but I switched back to portland high school because I wasn’t being challenged academically. But I still cook at home all the time and it has been my dream to go on chopped and try to and hopefully win the chopped teen tournament. Please consider me to be on chopped teen tournament. -1 Reply August 14, 2015

Deston DupuisHi my name is Deston. I’m 10 years old and love experimenting in the kitchen. I love cooking with white wines and love to do different Italian dishes. Wining chopped would be incredible and every thing. I’m not the best cook in the world, but i have a really good chance. I have my own food handlers permit and a business at the framers market with baked goods. I never follow recipes, and go creative, and the only time i’m following a recipe, it’s for baking. I live on Lopez island WA. so almost every thing we get is local. We have our own creamery, and a farm with cows and pigs. I never had any certified training so i guess i just gained knowledge from experimenting, and all of my parents are amazing cooks and i learned some from them. i have a superior grill, so i can barbecue as well. I hope i win chopped and have been watching it the year after it came out and still watch it to this day. I am super interested in it, and it would be a dream come true if i could actually be on the show itself. So please consider choosing me to be on chopped and i would be incredibly happy. Please and Thankyou. Deston -1 Reply August 10, 2015
Deston DupuisHi i’m Deston and i’m 10 and I love to cook. I have lots of fun in the kitchen, and winning chopped would be incredible. I watch it whenever it is on or at least try to. I never follow recipes and go creative style, or if i am following a recipe it’s only for baking. I have a little business at the farmers market. I have my food handler’s permit ad I can cook in any certified kitchen or restaurant. I have been cooking since i was about 4 with my mom, and now i’m by myself and when i’m in the kitchen, i’m the boss. I have no certified training at all so i just kind of gained knowledge from exploring. I live on Lopez island, so most of our vegetables are local and we have a creamery and beef farm. All of my parents are fabulous cooks and i watch them as well. Like i said winning chopped would be amazing. Don’t ask me what i would do with the 10k, but all i care about is the cooking right now.

Joey ButlerHello! My name is Joey Butler. There are around 500 submissions but I think (if you are reading this) you found the right one. I am currently 12 turning 13 in a few months. I have been watching chopped and chopped Canada for months now and I think the show has helped mold my mind into that of a creative thinking chopped champion. I haven’t been cooking very long, but the things I do cook are great! I cook lots of food with protein and things like rice and noodles. I excel in desserts and I have my fair share of knowledge in everything else. I do lots of baking, grilling, and pan roasting, and am all about home made and cooked food! My favourite types of food to cook are italian, East Asian, and North American styles. I think I should be worthy enough to be on Teen Chopped because I would get critiquing from the worlds best chefs and the experience would be great and more than over whelming. I would use the money towards either two things, my university fund and or to save and invest in, or two, travel the world. I have wanted to be going to germany and China for quite a while now and the ten thousand dollars would make it more than possible to travel to the places I aspire to go to. Thank you for reading this and I hope you reply back soon. Have a nice day! Goodbye 🙂 -1 Reply July 31, 2015

Gianna RuffoMy name is Gianna and cooking is my passion. I am 15 years old and currently attend Morris County School of Technology in New Jersey for the Culinary Academy. We learn about flavors and cusines through cooking in a Professional kitchen at school. I believe that I should be chosen because I love the show Chopped. To this day my dad and I sit and watch while the ingredients are given and say what they should do with it. My favorite dish to cook is something I threw together one day by myself. It’s spaghetti with grape tomatoes, basil, vidalia onions, shrimp and mushrooms sauteed with garlic and olive oil. This show is the greatest and my skills will impress. -1 Reply July 26, 2015
Casey RyanSo here’s the deal. I’ve kind of been the teenage dream for the past 6 years. At 19 I’m ending my teenage career of being a professional eater, and need to prove to my loving parents that my constant snacking, and cooking has all been for a greater good. Personally, I learned how to cook after being scared of my own “hangry” self, as well as a desire for good food and the reward that comes with making delicious food by myself. As a nanny I cook for picky eaters and food allergies on a daily basis, and have been forced to get pretty creative to get nutritious meals into the lives of children all over the Baltimore metropolitan area. If you choose me as a contestant for Teen Chopped, I promise you an entertaining and mouth watering meal that you will never forget! -1 Reply July 25, 2015

Sydney TrampedachHI! My name is Sydney. I am 13 years old and have always been into working in the kitchen. When I was younger i used to watch my dad cook meals for my family and was very fascinated by it. My mom also bakes a lot and i loved to help her make delicious german cakes! (I still help her now!)This has inspired me over the years to have an interest in cooking. I am a vegetarian and I am very passionate about making meals that are healthy, fresh, and modern. Since i used to not be vegetarian, I can still work with meat- i just choose not to. One of my main goals in the kitchen is to show that vegetarian cooking doesn’t have to be boring! I am also super creative and love working with new ingredients from all over the world. I believe that I am very talented compared to other teen chefs my age. I would love to be on Chopped Teen to show the world what i am capable of, and to make my friends and family proud! Thank you and I hope you consider me as one of the contestants for the next Chopped Teen challenge! Thanks for reading! 🙂 -1 Reply July 18, 2015
Salvi BaileyI know you guys have a lot of kids auditioning for this casting call. But, I think you would make a great choice by picking me I’ve tried to be on every kid/teen show that Food Network has ever had. I admire every chef on that channel like Alex Guarnaschelli, Guy Fieri, Anne Burrell, and especially the host Ted Allen. Everyone of those people have a very different but great technique at cooking amazing food. Any way I’m a thirteen year old teenager going into 8th grade and I think I could bring an amazing technique and talent to the competition that the Chopped kitchen has never seen beforeSincerely, Salvi Bailey -1 Reply July 17, 2015

Ffion ParkerHi, my name is Ffion and I’m 16 years old. I have always loved to cook as a hobbie but over the years it has become a duty. I have learnt to cook by watching programmes such as ‘Chopped’ and by using numerous cook books but I would love to have the opportunity to widen my cooking ability. I cook for my family almost every night and love to explore different flavours by using herbs and spices. My favourite kind of food to cook is pasta as you can do so much with it. In my free time I like to bake cakes as I feel that it brings the family closer together. I often give my neighbours some of my baking and I always receive good feedback. It would be an honour to participate and learn further with the experience that Chopped Teens would offer me. Thank you for your team. -1 Reply July 5, 2015

Katelyn SiragusaWhat makes me different than these 400 kids wanting to be on Chopped? I didn’t take any classes. I didn’t read any cookbooks. I watched Chopped and just started to cook without any recipes. I didn’t need them, I just let my hands do the cooking. I get inspired from tv shows. For exemple, in the show Friends, Monica made jam. That night, I made 3 different kinds of jam plus homemade biscuits and shared it at school. I believe I have the initiative to make a difference in this world by my cooking. When I grow up, I want to be a chef, but I also want to help others. I hope I can find a job that does both. I have been interested in cooking since I was a baby. I always had a play kitchen and would bother my siblings for months asking what food they would like. I am 15 years old and have loved to be in the kitchen for years and years. Every holiday I’m in the kitchen. I not only like to cook but bake. Neighbors have asked me to bake for Reconciliations, birthday parties, etc. This opportunity would make be a better chef, and open my eyes to the culinary world.

Damarion SessionHello my name is Damarion Session I am 12 years old and will be 13 years old in January of 2016 . I plan on being a chef when I grow up .I started cooking (food out of a box) at age 8 and I started watching my mother and grandmother cook learned lots of things about cooking.I started cooking meals at age 9 and a half.At age 10 my family let me cook meals for them and they enjoyed the food. I then found my passion as a chef. Ever since then I have been cooking every day and getting better each time. I think I should be casted on chopped teens because I am a hard working chef in training and can cook my pants off and when it comes to cooking I always bring the heat 0 Reply May 25, 2015
FaithHi. My name is Faith Phillips. I’m currently 17… I have been in the kitchen with my mom ever since I was small. I’m home school and have been taught by both my mother and father in the culinary arts. Being home schooled means I get underestimated by a ton of people and often overlooked. I want to be on chopped to prove to both my mom and dad that what they taught me wasn’t for nothing. The money would be used for college and if any leftover would go to my parents so we could pay off the rest of the house. I think I can be a really good chef. I know more about baking and cooking then a lot of teens my age. I am better at baking and I specialize in Mexican & American foods… My mom is a great chef and baker and my daddy is good chef and grills fantasticlly… Please think about allowing me to have a shot… Thank You. 0 Reply May 23, 2015

EmaniHi, my name is Emani, I am 14 years old and I really enjoy cooking. I’ve been watching Chopped ever since I was 8 years old. If I were to ever be accepted as a competitor on Chopped I would use the money to go towards my college savings. Most of the time I cook for my family with unknown ingredients I’ve never seen before, but they always turn out great. Being on Chopped would be the treated opportunity in a life time. If I were granted this I would be so grateful to actually be able to participate in a show I’ve watched for seven years. After I graduate from middle school, I’ll move on to high school. There I’ll be studying as much culinary as I can to be a successful chef like Gordon Ramsey, Bobbly Flay or maybe even Amanda Freitag. I have even planned out my future resturaunt. I want to own my own restaurant and get it up to 5 stars. I admire people like Gordan Ramsy, Guy Fietti,Bobby Flay, Alex Guarnaschelli and Amanda Freitag. It would be my dream to be on Chopped Teens, please accept me and give me this chance. Thank you for your time and I hope I get the chance to meet you and compete on your show. 0 Reply May 19, 2015
Jerome lewisHi my name is Jerome Lewis. I am 16 years old and will be 17 in July. I love to cook and bake. When I cook it makes me feel like I’m free and it is a fun thing to do on my spare time. When I get older, I want to be a chef and open my own bakery. When I cook, I feel like I can be creative with my food. Right now I am teaching myself how to be creative with my plating. I would love to be on the show so I can experience what it feels like to compete with other chiefs in progress and also see that I can push myself and how I do when going against other people my own age. 0 Reply May 13, 2015
DanielleI’m Danielle. I love cooking when I get the chance. I really like creating my own twist on dishes and coming up with my own recipes. I’m 13 and any chance I get I make my own food with really weird twists. I really LOVE watching chopped because I figure out my own twists on the ingredients in my head and it is really fun. I’d like a chance to get on chopped to help pay for my soccer fees. I could see myself as a pro chef but, idk. Let the future take me were it may. It’s good to keep my options open. 🙂 0 Reply May 10, 2015
Maria FischerHello, Food Network! I’m Maria and I am 16 years old. I come from a big Greek/Italian family and I LOVE FOOD! With Italian on my dad’s side and Greek on my mom’s, everyone doesn’t always get along, but the one thing we are all passionate about is food. I have been fascinated by cooking since I was young. Watching my grandmother put together flavors and create delicious food was amazing to me and inspired me to get into the kitchen myself. As a child, instead of cartoons, I was watching Everyday Italian and Emeril Lagasse. You guys have influenced my whole childhood! I am really intrigued by new styles of cooking and original flavor combinations. I want to be doing things with food that other people aren’t. My food is punk rock. I cook everyday after school and often get in trouble for using ingredients for tests and flavor experiments. I would be honored to be a part of this incredible experience. Thank you for reading! 0 Reply May 8, 2015

Daejah PattersonHello, My name is Daejah. I am 13 years oldI have been cooking and baking since I was 5years old. And I love it very much! My dad used to own a resurant. He was the main cook. When I was born he dicided to sell the place because he thought it would take up to much of his time. But as soon as I was old enough to care about Food he taught me almost every thing he knows. And I picked it up really fast and way past his expectations for me. Evey day I learn something New! 0 Reply April 27, 2015

MateenahHi my name is Mateenah, I’m 14 years old and I’m from Melbourne, Australia! I know I won’t get on the show because I live in Australia but I just wanted to share my story. My dad left my sister, my mum and I when I was 8 months old so I only grew up with only one parent as a lot of kids do these days. Growing up my mum worked a lot so that we could pay bills and school fees so my sister and I took on a lot of responsibility at very young ages which meant I started to help my sister cook dinner at the age of 7. I have developed a lot of skills since then and since my mum wasn’t into cooking anything special, everything I’ve learnt was self taught and off the internet. I would really like and opportunity to be on a show like this to show my skills and do my mum proud. If any producers in Australia are reading this, get on to it! There’s lots of us young cooks out there!! 0 Reply April 25, 2015

Kirsten MitchellHello, my name is Kirsten. I am 14 years and I absolutely love to cook. I started cooking when I was old enough to walk. I helped my grandmother cook for a really long time, starting by getting ingredients from the refrigerator for her. I study the history of cooking and culinary arts in my spare time. Recently, my grandpa had an esophageal perforation and, when he was able to eat again, he didn’t want anything my grandma had to offer. So I used whatever ingredients she had and made a dish that he actually liked. So, if you would consider choosing me for Teen Chopped, that would be amazing. Thank you for your consideration. 0 Reply April 17, 2015
Sierra FitzgeraldHi My name is Sierra I am 14 years old and have been cooking since i was 5 years old. When I was four i was adopted, with my sister I love my family. My dad has taught me everything I know, he is from england and make lots of traditional dishes like beef stew, pot roast, chicken soup, and sheperds pie. All of which he has taught me to make, i can make a full turkey dinner, and full roast beef dinner as well as lots of other things.I would love to be a chef one day. I watch food channel everyday, almost every show. Cooking is my dream and passion. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when i was 8 years old, my sister aswell so we cant eat what ever we want like most children, every meal has to be balanced and nutritional. We have to count every last carb in our meals and take 4-10 needles daily. So when i cook i have to make sure its okay for us to eat. I cook about 80% of the meals at home and i bake lots of stuff like muffins, banana bread, and cookies. I love cooking so much that i have calculated how much culinary school would be, i have gotten a job to start saving for culinary school. I have even planned out my future resturaunt. I want to own my own restaurant and get it up to 5 stars. I admire people like Gordan Ramsy, Guy Fietti,Bobby Flay, Alex Guarnaschelli and Amanda Freitag.

Michaela ClaxtonHI! My name is Michaela. I am currently 17 years old and have been cooking since I was a small child. I have been taught through family and teachers. I have been taking a high school cooking course for 2 years in a row and am excelling highly. I adore cooking with my life and plan on becoming a chef after high school. I own my own business and have for about a year. It is a gluten-wise and nut free baking business. I love challenges and I come up with ideas on the spot after looking at ingredients. I never think inside the box and what I haven’t learned from teachers I have taught myself. I experiment 24/7 and love coming up with unique ideas and presenting them in a unique manner. I am competitive, fast and creative. I can go up against anyone and make a delicious meal on the spot. I am signing up to have a chance at a challenge. To learn further and to make all those who have helped from about 4 years old and up proud. Please consider. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day! 0 Reply April 10, 2015
