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.

Angelo CoelhoHi there, I’m Angelo Coelho and I am 16 years old from Miami, Fl. I’ve been cooking for almost 9 years now, and have loved every second of it. I really enjoy just staring into my pantry and fridge and wondering what I can scrap up with these ingredients, the ingenuity plain old kitchen staples and such into tasty and unique creations has always been a facet of my personality. I love walking into the local market and seeing just what produce or exotic foodstuff they have on sale that I can get my hands around, and it’s an excellent sink for creativity, be it baking frying sauteing or steaming. Recently I have actually been selling sweet morsels at school and around town to help further my experience level in a more concrete way, to great success. I would be ecstatic to have the opportunity to be on Chopped so I can really showcase my skills and have a bunch of fun pushing myself to the limits, hopefully so I can show anyone back home that I am useful in the kitchen for my technical skills and creative abilities and get some real experience under my belt. Chopped would be a dream and a huge steppingstone, no matter the outcome, to furthering my culinary career, and a definite positive benchmark on my path to said culinary career. -3 Reply May 18, 2017
Katie AllisonHi, I’m Katie I am 14 years old. I go to a culinary high school called be.tech in Manteca, California. I have gained so much culinary experience at this school. At my school we have a cafe opened to the public and a catering business. I do most of the catering at my school and I also work in the cafe being a barista and also making pastries. I’ve wanted to be a cook since I was about 7. I loved baking when I was little and always wanted to bake with my mom and grandmother. I started to cook for my family a few years back. I started going to this high school this year. By going to this high school I have been able to job shadow at a sushi restaurant in my town which I learned so much from. I want to be on chopped because I can show my parents and my chefs that cooking is something I am good at and passion about. Being on chopped would definitely change my life. 0 Reply March 23, 2017
Steven ZazaI began cooking at a young age, for my family. I would try food that most kids will not eat and I would play around with the food throwing ingredient after ingredient in the food making a dish my own creation. I am a high school junior and is 16 years old.As of seven months I have been working at Canlon’s restaurant. I started off as a bus boy and now I am working as a dishwasher learning the business inside and out. While working at Canlon’s my passion in cooking grew. I see the chefs cook and I see the joy on their faces. The action and everything in the kitchen excites me. 0 Reply March 7, 2017

Natalie CulpepperMy name is Natalie Culpepper, i am sixteen years old, I live in a small town called Portsmouth, Virginia. I have been cooking since I can remember, and it has always been a dream of mine to compete in the chopped competition. My family and friends love when I cook!

Matthew NeuenkirchHi I’m Matthew Neuenkirch I’m 15 years old and am from Las Vegas NV. My passion has always been cooking since I can remember. I use to cooked with my grandmother until she passed away when I was 4. Ever since then I have always seemed to have that special passion and enthusiasm when I’m in the kitchen. When I was a tad bit younger all my friends would be watching like nick or Disney and I would always have foodnetwork on every day with Giada being one of my favorite chefs. With having the dream of being a chef someday I am attending a magnet school with an outstanding culinary program. I love learning new things that can expand my culinary knowledge and make me better and more skilled in the kitchen. From classic French cuisine to homestlye American cooking using many of my family’s treasured recipes I consider myself to have a pallet of tastebuds from around the world. My mom is the largest support in my life and I couldn’t be where I am today without her. I have very gourmet tastebuds, meaning I like more than just your basic McDonald’s or Pizza Hut. Healthy and fresh foods are the best thing I like to work with because healthy doesn’t mean bland, you can make it taste just as good as if it were loaded with calories. Cooking to me is more than just a hobby or or job it defines my life and my future. I would love to have the opportunity to compete on chopped or even other competitions for the ability to go to a culinary college when I graduate high school to win scholarships. 0 Reply January 23, 2017

Alex EvansI have fallen in love with cooking from a young age whenever I was six or seven. I had always looked forward to learning how to cook like my uncle whom had applied for chopped and somehow was actually overqualified for the show. He had cooked for President George W. Bush twice. Whenever I was nine, he started to show me how to cook a few different foods from lobster with a garlic herb butter to sheperd’s pie. I still, seven years later at the age of seventeen, look forward to learning new techniques and new dishes of different cultures to bring to my home plate. I want to attend the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, but I need the money. Thus is why I am applying for this as well as it would be nice to be tested onto my creativity of a variety of unsettling ingredients for an untraditional dish. 0 Reply January 12, 2017
Alyssia McNamaraIt all started when I was four years old with Emerald Lagassse and Mario Batali on my grandfathers television. He used to study their recipes to create them as I watched on a stool. I would beg to help with little things: stirring the beef browning in the pan, or adding his favorite herbs to the fresh sauce we made. I grew up in love with the sound of “supper time”, with my family members always providing a new taste for me to think about. My mother complained that I never watched regular television shows, such as Hannah Montana or Spongebob. From a young age I was too captivated by the cooking styles by each different chef on the Food Network to take my eyes off of it. As the years passed, I picked up small tips of getting around the kitchen: to let your meat sit before you slice into it to keep the juices in, to salt your pasta water substantially. My love for cooking could never be stopped. I just wanted to learn. Fast forward 10 years, from testing my creations on my hungry step brothers to buying my first Le Creuset for myself, I’m ready to learn every technique and style of cooking. Currently working in Carolina Blue in Pitman, New Jersey, an exquisite restaraunt with a genius chef, I learn something new every day. I hope you choose me for Chopped Teens, you will not find another teenager who understands the art of cooking and the emotions and detail that go into creating that one perfect meal. Thank you for the opportunity! 0 Reply January 8, 2017

Annabel MorleyHi. My name is Annabel Morley. I am 14 years old, and I have been watching Chopped for many years now, and I would absolutely love to have this incredible opportunity. Cooking is one of the most fabulous things in my life. The fact that you can take seemingly unappetizing ingredients, and though a careful process create something delicious is one of my favorite things. My father has been teaching me to cook since I was five years old. Cooking with him has always been my favorite thing to do with him. Even when he isn’t with me, his love of cooking is always with me. My parents also own a video production company, meaning I am very used to being on a camera. My dad used to do practice interviews with me, developing his video abilities. I would love to win the money from Chopped so I could help my dad pursue his love of cooking, and help his business continue to do well. -2 Reply January 2, 2017

Lauren MooreHello, my name is Lauren Moore. I am 14 and can whip up a tasty meal with very limited ingredients, using my senses, imagination and my creative side. I began to like cooking a couple of years ago. I would watch my Mom and Dad make and prepare meals with excited interest and curiosity. They always seem to be having such a nice time while in the kitchen. So I wanted to do the same. It started with me trying to make a veggie omlett for my parents and they have requested that same dish every chance they get! I was happy and surprised in myself at how easy, fun and exciting cooking came to me. My Mom and me have watched Chopped (different varieties) many times and really get into the show. I feel that I should be chosen to cook on Teen Chopped because I am awesome! I have a happy, generous and can do attitude and personality. I feel that the public would enjoy and root me on!Thank you for your consideration.Lauren A. Moore 0 Reply August 24, 2016

Andrea TholenaarMy name is Andrea, I live in Florida and I am 16 years old. Cooking is my passion. Many people have things that define them as individuals and make them unique. For me, that thing is cooking. I have loved cooking for as long as I could remember, it makes me who I am. My mom is my number one inspiration and support in all I do. Chopped has been one of my favorite shows for so long and being on it would be a dream come true. I have had the pleasure of being surrounded by many talented chefs in my family who have taught me so much. My first and current job is in a professional kitchen being surrounded by amazing chefs where I have been able to further expand my culinary knowledge in ways that I had never expected. Never having thought that I could learn so much in only a year, the influence that my cowerkers and mentors have had on me is unbelievable. It’s been quite a journey and I am ready to challenge myself further and make my family and my mentors proud by being on chopped and expressing my love for the culinary arts. Winning chopped would not only change my life, but it would help me prove to myself that I am capable of being a professional chef in the future and give me the confidence I need to succeed. 0 Reply August 11, 2016

I recently replaced my grandma’s pan and so I am now aloud to cook on the stove. One of my biggest dreams is to be on Chopped.

Sara AguilarHi, My name is Sara Aguilar, and I am 14 years old. I live in East Brunswick, New Jersey. I began cooking and baking a young age. My abuela (grandma in Spanish) always let me help her cook when I was very little. I’ve ALWAYS loved preparing food for both of my families, and eating food in general (I mean, who doesn’t?). My dad was born in Quito, Ecuador, and my mom, in New York. Both of them worked at the James Beard Foundation. Anyway, enough about them! A lot of my inspiration came from the Hispanic and Jewish culture infused with classic French techniques they taught me. The table is more than just a piece of wood that holds stuff. It is a very sacred place to my family, where awesome conversations are started, and where food is shared. The plate always had a heap of rice, a protein, and a heap of greens. In the tiny kitchen at my dad’s apartment , which was missing a working oven for five years, allowed for a LOT of creativity in the kitchen. At my mother’s house, when I’d come home from school (before homework and extra-curricular activities), I’d whip up some pastries or help my mom out with dinner (I haven’t stopped). Any chance I get to cook, oh I cook! I love exploring different food cultures, and sticking to classic French techniques. A few years ago I began cooking at the Classic Thyme and taking classes there on bread-making, cake decorating, cooking techniques (knife skills, sauces, broths, etc.), and baking. I have just started a YouTube channel dedicated to inspiring teens (or really anyone) to do everyday activities excellently. From just doing laundry, COOKING skills, to fashion tips, I uncover what the true meaning of excellence is. feel as though I can learn a ton from being on the show and further develop my skills, while showing off what I know already. I think that this generation of teens has so much freedom and many opportunities today. I want to take advantage of this opportunity and see what happens. Even I don’t win, just being on the show would be really cool. It would be an absolutely amazing experience and a pleasure to be on Top Chef!!!! 0 Reply July 15, 2016
Emily KumagaiHi I’m Emily. I’m half Japanese half Korean 14 year old who is a food enthusiast and a cooking blogger on youtube! As a little kid I would always marvel at Gordon Ramsay’s delectable looking creations or Giada’s amazing dishes. being inspired by those two fantastic chefs and many others on food network I started cooking and baking for my family and friends ever since I was 11. Food is a major part of my life and art to me. It just spices up life! (pun intended) aside from the cheesy joke( pun not intended) I love traveling and exploring different cuisines from all over the world. I wish to expand my horizons of knowledge about cultures with food since memories and warmth is ties with heartfelt traditional dishes. Why should i be on Kids/teen chopped? Who wouldn’t want a spunky, sassy, creative teen on their show? Having me on teen chopped is like dinner and entertainment at the same time! Plus, you won’t just get Korean and Japanese cuisine from me. I can make Italian, French, and some of my own original culture fusion dishes! 1 Reply July 9, 2016

Christina BianoHello my name is Christina Biano, I am from Sour Lake, Texas and I am 14 years old. I don’t have any other opportunities except for this so I am hoping I could really do this. I have been passionate about cooking since I was 5 years old and really hope yall can see the determination in me and help me achieve my goals of being a great chef. It’s also been really hard for me since I was 10 years old because I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease. Which is an infection in your intestine and your stomach and that has set me back from anything I have ever tried to do except for cooking. So I really hope I have a chance to prove that I’m not completely useless. 0 Reply July 8, 2016

MaddisenHi! My name is Maddisen. I’m 14 going on 15 years old and I have been cooking and experimenting in the kitchen since I was 7. There are many reasons why I got into cooking. Mainly, I just loved combining different foods and seeing if they worked. Also, I was, and still am, inspired by the show Chopped and the unusual food combinations in each basket that are presented to the chefs. I think I should be on Chopped Teens because I am not afraid of trying something bold and “weird” to turn all the basket ingredients into a cohesive dish. I also would love to be on the show I have watched for years and that has inspired to really understand how to prepare and cook different foods. Cooking is a great passion of mine that I will always strive to improve on and being on this show will certainly help me. 0 Reply June 5, 2016
