Chopped!

I love chopped! I think most of those chefs are pretty creative with the ingredients they are given. 

Anyone here think  they can handle the chopped kitchen?

    I like it cause it gives me ideas on what to do with different foods. Some of the stuff they have on there I have never heard of.

    I love Chopped! No way could I handle the kitchen.  I am way to slow, not to mention lack tons of skill and training.

    I have never seen it. When and where does it come on?

    If they made me make au gratin potatoes with onion, garlic, evoo, kaise, cheddar, and heavy cream, maybe I would not get chopped right out of the gate.
    They would not do that, so I would be.

    I would be willing to give it a shot. Like said before though some of the stuff they put in the basket I have never heard of.

    My wife says I could do it.  I'm a little iffy, but would love to try it.  

    I'm not a recipe type.  I suck at it because I don't measure anything. I just dash, pour, stir, and taste until the flavor is to my liking.

    I watch the show and enjoy it (except for the "sob story why are you competing here today" segment.

    I could never be on the show. I'd be a frozen deer in the headlights upon opening the basket and seeing things I have never heard of (what the hell is mofongo??).

    My guilty pleasure is Alton Brown's "Cutthroat Kitchen". So stupid it's funny. I'm actually about to watch last nights episode in a few minutes. Just good old stupid stupid fun but actually quite educational at times. Mostly not though, just stupid stupid fun.

    I enjoy the show in small doses but I find it too stressful to watch.  I would cut a finger off and/or start a fire if I had to prepare a meal under that kind of pressure. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I think I can hold my own in the kitchen.  Just not that one.
    I can handle pressure.  It's the oddball ingredients that would be my downfall.  
    Our cooking skills are elementary, when compared to a professional.  Although some here may beg to differ.

    seems like that would be the approach to take.  I would be afraid of not getting all the food plated, would definitely need more time.
